PALM SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 2022 Scripture
Reading: Luke 19:28–40
Additional Scriptures: Psalm
118:1–2, 19–29
Jesus went up, on ahead, up to be glorified, not as the world, but by
the cross. He leads the way... A sign of power is to be seated.
They are enthroning their king. They know...but they don't know...
Almighty God, You have given us this good land as our heritage. Grant
that we remember Your generosity and constantly do Your will. Bless our land
with honest industry, truthful education, and an honorable way of life. Save us
from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every
evil course of action. Make us who come from many nations with many different
languages a united people. Defend our liberties, and give those whom we have
entrusted with the authority of government the spirit of wisdom that there may
be justice and peace in our land. When times are prosperous, let our hearts be
thankful; in troubled times do not let our trust in You fail; through Jesus
Christ, our Lord. Amen [2]
Almighty and ever living
God, in Your tender love for the human race You sent Your Son our Savior Jesus
Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving
us the example of His great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the
way of His suffering, and also share in His resurrection; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever
and ever. Amen [3]
