OPENING PRAYER
Almighty God,
on this day, your Son Jesus Christ entered the holy city of Jerusalem and was proclaimed king
by those who spread their garments and palm branches along his way.
let those branches be for us signs of his victory,
and grant that we who bear them in his name
may ever hail him as our Lord,
and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life.
in his name, we pray. Amen.
