Palm Sunday Prayer

We praise you, O God,

for your redemption of the world through your Son.

He entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph

and was proclaimed Messiah and king

by those who spread garments and branches along his way.

Just as we carry these branches,

may we follow Christ in the way of the cross that,

dying and rising with him, we may enter into your kingdom;

through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns

with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.

Amen.
