Original Airdate: April 5, 2020 Matthew 21:1-11 | Philippians 2:6-11 | Matthew 26:14—27:66 Dearly Beloved, since the beginning of Lent until now, we have prepared our hearts by penance and charitable works.  Today we gather together to herald with the whole church the beginning of the celebration of the Lord’s Pascal mystery, that is to say, of his passion and his resurrection, for it was to accomplish this mystery that he entered his own city of Jerusalem.  Therefore, with all faith and devotion, let us commemorate the Lord’s entry into his Holy City for our salvation, following in his footsteps so that, being made by his grace partakers of the cross, we may have a share also in the resurrection and the life.  Amen.  Learn more about your ad choices.
