The Road Home

"Rise now, my soul, handmaid of the Savior, join the procession of the daughters of
Zion and go out to meet your King. Accompany the Lord of heaven and earth,
seated on a donkey; follow him with olive and palm branches, with works of piety
and with victorious virtues" (St. Bonaventure).
Divine Holy Spirit, take me into yourself in order to accompany Jesus further from
the adoring crowd to the path of His passion, suffering, and death. Grant me joint
intimacy with the Son's wounds so that I may drink fully the joy of His resurrection.
Amen.

(David Morrison)

Guided by Christ's Truth

Let us pray [as we accompany our King to Jerusalem]
Almighty Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
you sent your Son to be born of woman and to die
on a cross, so that through the obedience of of one man,
estrangement might be dissolved for all men.
Guide our minds by his truth and strengthen our lives
by the example of his death, that we may live in union with you
in the kingdom of your promise.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

(Liturgy of the Hours)
