**************
Today's Prayer
March 27
Matthew 21:1-11
Hosanna
Throngs of people gather.
Palm branches waving.
Shouts of affirmation: Hosanna,
Lord, save us!
Hosanna!
Unexpectedly comes a man,
not on a war horse but a donkey.
Can he save us from Rome, from oppression?
Hosanna!
Can he deliver us?
Humbleness rather than brute force?
Lord, give us the courage to follow.
Hosanna!
Here is our Messiah, we profess our faith.
Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Glory to God in the Highest!
Hosanna!
May this enthusiasm sustain us through difficult times
as well as the good.
Hosanna! Amen.
