We are approaching the end of the Lenten season this weekend with Palm Sunday and the passion of our Lord. This mass is very unique in that we begin with a celebration, but we end reflecting on the sorrowful passion that Jesus suffered in the crucifixion.
The entrance antiphon, taken from Matthew chapter 21 verse 9, celebrates the Lord's entrance into Jerusalem when he rode in on a donkey and the people cried out:
Entrance Antiphon
Hosanna to the Son of David,
the King of Israel.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
(Matthew 21:9)
Psalm 22
"My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?"
Gospel Acclamation
Christ became 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.
(Philippians 2:8-9)
Communion Antiphon
Father, if this chalice cannot pass without my drinking it,
your will be done.
(Matthew 26:42)
