Palm Sunday
The Word of God the Father,
the Son who is coeternal with Him,
whose throne is heaven, whose footstool is the earth,
today has humbled himself by riding into Bethany on
a donkey.
So the children of Israel praise him,
bearing green branches and crying:
“Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes,
the King of Israel!”
