Today We Celebrate

Palm Sunday

Roman Missal:

Palm Sunday

Today we continue our lenten journey where we reflect on the Stations or the Way of the Cross following Our Lord's final journey in this life leading to His death on a Cross.

Each day we will reflect on a station (two on Good Friday) pray and share reflections of Mary.

Our way of course has a triumphant ending on the final day of our journey when on Easter Sunday we reflect on the lesser known Station - the Resurrection of Jesus

7 Jesus Falls 2nd Time

We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.

Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.

Reflection:

Consider how the second fall of Jesus under His cross renews the pain in all the wounds of the head and members of our afflicted Lord.

Prayer

My Jesus, laden with sorrows,  I weep for the sins which I have committed against You because of the punishment I deserve for them;  and, still more, because of the displeasure they have caused You who have loved me with an infinite love.  It is Your love, more than the fear of hell,  which makes me weep for my sins. 

I love Thee, my beloved Jesus; I love Thee above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father.

Jesus, for Thee I live, Jesus, for Thee I die, Jesus, I am Thine in life and in death. Amen.

Reflection of Mary

O sweet Mother! Fount of Love,

Touch my spirit from above

Make my heart with yours accord

When my Son fell the second time, my heart sank as he seemed to just lose control and stumble and crumble to the ground. The way he fell to his knees on the hard stones, I could feel the jarring pain through my whole body. Helpless to help him, I again wondered if he could make it.

As I look back with you today, I imagine that this fall placed him together with people with disabilities, with people suffering from all kinds of physical diseases that weaken them, and with all who are aging and must confront the limits of their bodies. My prayer is that all God’s people who know the suffering of these disabilities might know that they can always turn to my Son for understanding and comfort.

With gratitude in our hearts, we take a few moments to find the words to express our feelings to him.

Let’s pause for a moment to express to him now, whatever is in our hearts.

Word of Our Lord 

Mark 11:1-10  -  Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

When they drew near to Jerusalem,

to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,

Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them,

‘Go into the village opposite you,

and immediately as you enter it

you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat;

untie it and bring it.

If any one says to you,

“Why are you doing this?” say,

“The Lord has need of it

and will send it back here immediately.”’

And they went away,

and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street;

and they untied it.

And those who stood there said to them,

‘What are you doing, untying the colt?’

And they told them what Jesus had said;

and they let them go.

And they brought the colt to Jesus,

and threw their garments on it;

and he sat upon it.

And many spread their garments on the road,

and others spread leafy branches

which they had cut from the fields.

And those who went before

and those who followed cried out,

‘Hosanna!

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming!

Hosanna in the highest!

The Holy Rosary

Our Blessed Mother explained to us what would happen in the World and in the Church if people continued to turn from God. Sadly we can now see this all around us in the Church and in the World. One of the things she asked us to do was to say the Rosary everyday. 

Please find a few minutes today to fulfil her request.

Surrender to Jesus

Surrender is a word that can feel heavy, especially in a world that glorifies self-reliance and control. Yet, when it  comes to our relationship with God, surrender is not about giving up; it’s about giving in—to His love, His plans, and His promises. 

Trusting God in daily surrender is a beautiful yet challenging act of faith.

Trusting God in Daily Surrender

The Surrender Novena

Prayer to St Michael

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in our hour of conflict. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Personal Prayer to Jesus

Lord Jesus I accept you as my personal Saviour. 

From this moment on may I open my heart to you and trust that the Holy Spirit will fill this heart with your love so that I can in all sincerity worship God our Father above all things and love my neighbour as myself.

For me alone this will be extremely difficult. In my human nature I am under constant attack from Satan but I know that if I trust You, You will provide me with whatever graces I need  to withstand such evil attacks.

I know that with Your love it is truly possible to have heaven here on earth.

For what is Heaven except to be in the presence of God.

With Your help I can overcome my human limitations, my needless worries, and my needless concerns. 

Help me accept Your holy living Word as proclaimed in the bible and at every Mass and through the Gospel realise that my childish love reflects Your words  - 

'Unless you become like little children you shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven'.

Jesus please grant that when my time comes to meet You, You will not be a stranger but a friend.

I can ask for nothing more.

Amen.
