Holy Week
This is Holy Week which is the final week of Lent, and includes Palm Sunday (today), Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday.
On the sixth Sunday of Lent we commemorate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Many services use palm leaves to commemorate this glorious event when people ushered Jesus into Jerusalem crying, "Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" Traditionally the Gloria Laus (All Glory Laud and Honor...), written by Theodulf of Orleans, is sung in churches. This week let us remember the final week of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, the Jewish Messiah who comes to save His people from their sins.
Prayer of Confession:
"Forgive us, God, when we forget the cost of your love. Forgive us, God, when we act as those who do not know you. Forgive us, God, when we fail to stand with you in your service. Give us a new heart and a right spirit, that we might live for you, to your glory." Amen.
