Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel,
and David’s Royal Son,
now in the Lord’s name
coming, our King
and Blessed One.
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
The company of angels
are praising you on high;
and mortals, joined with
all things created, make reply.
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went:
our praise and prayers
and anthems before you
we present.
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
To you before your passion
they sang their hymns of praise:
to you, now high exalted,
our melody we raise.
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
Their praises you accepted,
accept the prayers we bring,
great source of love and goodness,
our Savior and our King.
All glory, laud,
and honor to you,
Redeemer King!
To whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
Psalmody
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 The great crowd that had gathered for the feast cried out to the Lord: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
Psalm 118
Song of joy for salvation
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, *
for his love endures forever.
Let the sons of Israel say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
Let the sons of Aaron say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
Let those who fear the Lord say: *
“His love endures for ever.”
I called to the Lord in my distress; *
he answered and freed me.
The Lord is at my side; I do not fear. *
What can man do against me?
The Lord is at my side as my helper: *
I shall look down on my foes.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord *
than to trust in men:
it is better to take refuge in the Lord *
than to trust in princes.
The nations all encompassed me; *
in the Lord’s name I crushed them.
They compassed me, compassed me about; *
in the Lord’s name I crushed them.
They compassed me about like bees; †
they blazed like a fire among thorns. *
In the Lord’s name I crushed them.
I was hard-pressed and was falling *
but the Lord came to help me.
The Lord is my strength and my song; *
he is my savior.
There are shouts of joy and victory *
in the tents of the just.
The Lord’s right hand has triumphed; *
his right hand raised me.
The Lord’s right hand has triumphed; †
I shall not die, I shall live *
and recount his deeds.
I was punished, I was punished by the Lord, *
but not doomed to die.
Open to me the gates of holiness: *
I will enter and give thanks.
This is the Lord’s own gate *
where the just may enter.
I will thank you for you have answered *
and you are my savior.
The stone which the builders rejected *
has become the corner stone.
This is the work of the Lord, *
a marvel in our eyes.
This day was made by the Lord; *
we rejoice and are glad.
O Lord, grant us salvation; *
O Lord, grant success.
Blessed in the name of the Lord *
is he who comes.
We bless you from the house of the Lord; *
the Lord God is our light.
Go forward in procession with branches *
even to the altar.
You are my God, I thank you. *
My God, I praise you.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good; *
for his love endures for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm Prayer
Lord God, you have given us the great day of rejoicing: Jesus Christ, the stone rejected by the builders, has become the cornerstone of the Church, our spiritual home. Shed upon your Church the rays of your glory, that it may be seen as the gate of salvation open to all nations. Let cries of joy and exultation ring out from its tents, to celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection.

Praise the Lord
Praise God in his holy place, *
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his powerful deeds, *
praise his surpassing greatness.
O praise him with sound of trumpet, *
praise him with lute and harp.
Praise him with timbrel and dance, *
praise him with strings and pipes.
O praise him with resounding cymbals, *
praise him with clashing of cymbals.
Let everything that lives and that breathes *
give praise to the Lord.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *

1st Reading
Is 50:4-7
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah
The Lord GOD has given me
a well-trained tongue,
That I might know how to speak to the weary
a word that will rouse them.
Morning after morning
he opens my ear that I may hear;
and I have not rebelled,
have not turned back.
I gave my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who plucked my beard;
my face I did not shield
from buffets and spitting.
The Lord GOD is my help,
therefore I am not disgraced;
I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm
℟. (2a) My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
All who see me scoff at me;
they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads:
“He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him,
let him rescue him if he loves him.”
℟. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
Indeed, many dogs surround me,
a pack of evildoers closes in upon me;
they have pierced my hands and feet;
I can count all my bones.
℟. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
They divide my garments among them,
and for my vesture they cast lots.
But you, O LORD, be not far from me;
O my help, hasten to aid me.
℟. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
I will proclaim your name to my brethren;
in the midst of the assembly I will praise you:
“You who fear the LORD, praise him;
all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him;
revere him, all you descendants of Israel!”
℟. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
2nd Reading
Phil 2:6-11
A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Glory to You,
Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of the Living God.
Christ become obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.
Glory to You,
Lord Jesus Christ,
Son of the Living God.
Gospel
Lk 22:14-23:56 or 23:1-49
21. The narrative of the Lord’s Passion is read without candles and without incense, with no greeting or signing of the book. It is read by a Deacon, or if there is no Deacon, by a Priest, It may also be read by readers, with the part of Christ, if possible, reserved to a Priest.
Deacons, but not others, ask for the blessing of the Priest before singing the Passion, as at other times before the Gospel.
Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God of Hosts.
Heaven and Earth are full,
are full of Your glory.
Hosanna, hosanna,
hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes,
who comes in the
name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna,
hosanna in the highest.
Dan Schutte, SJ
Save us, save us,
Savior of the world,
for by your Cross and Resurrection,
you have set us free.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who
trespass against us; (Hmm)
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us,
deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours now and forever.
Dan Schutte, SJ
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world,
grant us peace.
We hold the death of the Lord,
deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
Once we were people afraid,
lost in the night.
Then by your cross
we were saved;
Dead became living,
life from your giving.
We hold the death of the Lord,
deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
Something which we
have known,
something we've touched,
what we have seen
with our eyes: this we have heard; life giving Word.
We hold the death of the Lord,
deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
He chose to give of Himself,
became our bread.
Broken that we might live.
Love beyond love,
pain for our pain.
We hold the death of the Lord,
deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
We are the presence of God;
this is our call.
Now to become bread and wine:
food for the hungry,
life for the weary.
For to live with the Lord,
we must die with the Lord.
We hold the death of the Lord,
deep in our hearts.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
Living, now we remain
with Jesus, the Christ.
Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind
and heart of Jesus Christ.
Though He was at one
with God, He did not think
He should retain equality
with God, with God.
He gave Himself,
He emptied Himself,
and took the nature of a slave,
to be a man like us, like us.
Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind
and heart of Jesus Christ.
He became more humble yet,
for He accepted even death
A death upon a cross,
a cross.
Therefore God raised Him
to the heights and gave Him
the name above all names,
in heaven and on earth,
on earth.
Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind
and heart of Jesus Christ.
So at His name all knees
should bend, and every
tongue proclaim that
Jesus Christ is lord, is Lord.
Deep within us,
shared among us,
may we ever keep the mind
and heart of Jesus Christ.

Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
The Messiah and his forerunner
Blessed + be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old †
that he would save us from our enemies, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers *
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham: *
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear, *
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; *
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation *
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God *
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
