Bulletin Shorts for Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion – 05 April 2020 

Procession:  Matthew 21:1-11.

Mass:  Isaiah 50:4-7.  Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24.  Philippians 2:6-11.  Matthew 26:14–27:66.

Being Humble.  Jesus Christ shows us how to be humble today.  So humble, that he “emptied himself”. This brought on entry into Jerusalem, passion, death, burial, and risen life.

• How will I, an empty and humble self, do some mercy work this Holy Week?
• How will I be a sign of humility to the elect preparing for Baptism at week’s end?
• Let me save the times and come to be Church for the celebrations of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter.

Important days and celebrations for the Church and for this parish in the Paschal Triduum.
