The Gospel at the beginning of Mass just before the procession with Palm’s:
At The Procession With Palms – GospelLK 19:28-40
Jesus proceeded on his journey up to Jerusalem.
As he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the place called the Mount of Olives,
he sent two of his disciples.
He said, “Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat.
Untie it and bring it here.
And if anyone should ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’
you will answer,
‘The Master has need of it.’”
So those who had been sent went off and found everything just as he had told them.
And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them,
“Why are you untying this colt?”
They answered, “The Master has need of it.”
So they brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks over the colt,
and helped Jesus to mount.
As he rode along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road;
and now as he was approaching the slope of the Mount of Olives,
the whole multitude of his disciples began to praise God aloud with joy
for all the mighty deeds they had seen.
They proclaimed: “Blessed is the king who comes
in the name of the Lord.

Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
He said in reply,
“I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!”

The Gospel of the Lord! Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ!
Palm Sunday begins Holy Week, which lasts until Wednesday night.
Thursday begins the Holy Triduum which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday! Will try to post the Gospels for each of these on their respective days. If you haven’t celebrated the Triduum at a Catholic church it is well worth going! Check the times for Triduum at a Catholic Church near you! (I even know other Christian’s who attend Catholic Triduum, even though they can’t receive the Eucharist, due to the beauty of the Triduum.)
Please keep Fr. James Flanagan, SOLT in your prayers. He is the Founder of The Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, and is on his way home to God!
