Dear brothers and sisters, since the beginning of lands until now we have prepared our hearts by penance and charitable works. Today we gathered together to herald with the whole church, the beginning of the celebration of our Lord's passable mystery, it is to say, of His Passion and Resurrection, where it was to accomplish this mystery that he entered his own city of Jerusalem. Therefore, with all faith and devotion, let's commemorate memory. Nation following in his footsteps, so that being made by His grace partakers of the cross, we may have a share also in his resurrection. And in his life. Let us pray. Almighty ever LIVING GOD Sanctify these branches with your blessing that we who follow Christ the King of exaltation may reach the eternal Jerusalem through Him who lives and reigns forever and ever.
The Lord be with you. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark when Jesus and his disciples drew nearer to Jerusalem, to Bethpage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He said to two of his disciples inserted them Go into the village opposite view and immediately on entering it, you will find a cold tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone should say to you, why are you doing this, replied the master has needed it and we'll send it back here. So they went off and found a cold tethered at a gate outside on the street. And they untied it. Some of the bystanders said to them, what are you doing? untying the colt? They answered them just as Jesus had told them to. And they permitted them to do it. So they brought the coal to Jesus and put their cloaks over it, and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out, was not blessed. It is he who comes in the name of the Lord bless it is the kingdom of our father David that is to come Hosanna in the highest. The Gospel of the Lord

reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Philippians Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God did not record did not regard equality with God, something to be grasped. Rather, He emptied Himself, taking the form of slave coming in human likeness and found in human appearance, human in appearance, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend. Of those in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord the glory of God the Father the word of the Lord.
Okay, so squab Yang all dance last fall re great to

really passionate of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to mark the Passover in the Feast of Unleavened Bread were to take place in two days time. So the chief priests and the scribes were seeking a way to arrest him by treachery. And put him to death.
They said, not during the festival, for fear that there may be a riot among the people. When
he was in Bethany, reclining on a table, and the house of Simon the leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of perfumed oil, costly, genuine spankin hard. She broke the alabaster jar and poured it on his head. There were some who were indeed indignant.
Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil? It could have been sold for more than 300 days wages and the money given to the poor.
They were infuriated with her. Jesus said,
Let her alone. Why do you make trouble for her? Jesus did a good thing for me. The poor you will always have with you and whenever you wish, you can do good to them. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could. She has anticipated anointing my body for burial. Amen. I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed to the whole world, what she has done, will be told in memory of her.
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 went off to the chief priests to hand him over to them. When they heard him, they were pleased and promise to pay him money. Then he looked for an opportunity to hand him over. On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him,
Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?
He sent two of His disciples and said to them,
Go into the city and a man will meet you carrying a jar of water. Follow him wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, the teacher says, Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples. Then he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.
The disciples then went off, entered the city and founded just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. When it was evening, he came with the 12. And as they reclined that table, and we're eating, Jesus said
amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me. One who is eating with me. They
be they began to be distressed, and to say to him, one by one, surely it is not I. He said to them, one
of the 12 the one who dips with me into the dish, for the Son of man indeed goes as it is written of him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of Man has betrayed. It would be better for that man, if he had never been born.
While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them and said, Take it, this is my body. Then he took a cup, gave thanks and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, This
is my blood of the covenant, which will be shared for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Then after singing a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, all
of you will have your face shaken, or it is written, I will strike the shepherd and the sheep will be dispersed. But after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee.
Peter said to Him,
even though all should have their faith shake and mine will not be. But
then Jesus said to
him, amen. I say to you, this very night before the COC crows twice. You will deny me three times
but he vehemently replied,
Even though I should have to die with you, I will not deny you and
they all spoke similarly. Then they came to the place named guest 70. And he said to his disciples, Sit here while I pray he took with him Peter, James and John, and began to be troubled and distressed. That he said to them,
My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch.
He advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass by him.
He said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but not what I will, but what you will.
When he returned, he found them asleep. He said to Peter,
Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test? The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Withdrawing again, he prayed, saying the same thing. Then he returned once more and found them asleep, for they cannot keep their eyes open. And did not know what to answer him. He returned a third time and said to them,
are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the son of man is to be handed over to sinners. Get up Let us go. See my betrayer is it had
then while he was speaking, Judas, one of the 12 arrived accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, where to come from the chief priests, the scribes and the elders. History betrayer headed range to signal with them, saying
the man I shall kiss is the one arrest him and lead him away secretly.
He came in immediately went over to him and said, Rabbi, and he kissed him. At this they laid hands on him and arrested him. One of the bystanders drew his sword struck the high priest's servant and cut off his ear. Jesus said to them in reply Have
you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? Day after day I was with you teaching in the temple area. Yet you did not arrest me, but that the scriptures may be fulfilled
and they all left him and fled. Now a young man followed him wearing nothing but a linen cloth about his body. They seized him but he left the cloth behind and ran off naked they led Jesus away to the high priest and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together. Peter followed him at a distance into the high priests courtyard and was seated with the guards warming himself at the fire. The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death. But they found none. Many gave false witness against him but their testimony did not agree. Some took the stand and testified falsely against him alleging.
Even so, their testimony did not agree. The high priests rose before the assembly and questioned Jesus saying
have you no answer? What are these men testifying against you?
But he was silent and answered nothing. Again, the high priest asked him and said to him,
Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One? Then
Jesus answered,
I am and you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the power and coming with the clouds of heaven.
At that the high priests tore his garments and said,
What further need have We have witnesses? You have heard this heard the blasphemy? What do you think?
They all condemned him as deserving to die. some began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and struck him and said to him and the guards greeted him with blows. While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the high priests maids came along. Seeing Peter warming himself. She looked intently at him and said
Jesus,
but he denied it, saying
I neither know nor understand what you're talking about. So
we went out into the outer court. Then the COC crowed. The maid saw him and began again to say to the bystanders. Once again, he denied it. A little light later, a little later. The bystanders said to Peter once more.
He began to purse and do sweater.
Do you not know this man about whom you are talking? And
immediately a cock crowed? A second time. Then Peter, remember the word that Jesus had said to him before the caulk rose twice. You will deny me three times. He broke down and wept. As soon as morning came, the chief priests with the elders and the scribes. That is the whole Sanhedrin held a council they bound Jesus led Him away and handed him over to Pilate. Pilate questioned him,
Are you the king of the Jews?
He said to him in reply,
you say so.
The chief priests accused him of many things. Again, pilot question Tim.
Have you know answer? See how many things they accuse you of? Jesus
gave him no further answer. So that pilot was amazed. Now on the occasion of the feast, he used to release to them one prisoner whom they requested. A man called Barabbas was then in prison, along with the rebels who had committed murder in a rebellion. The crowd came forward and began to ask him to do for them as he was accustomed. Pilate answered,
do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?
For he knew that it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him released Barabbas for them instead. Pilot again said to them and reply.
Then what you do you want me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?
They shouted again. Pilate said to them,
Why, what evil has he done?
They only shouted the louder so Pilate wishing to satisfy the crowd, Release Barabbas to them, and ever after he had Jesus scourged handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers lead them away inside the palace. That is the Praetorium and assemble the whole cohort they call clothe him in purple, and weaving a crown of thorns, placed it on him. They began to salute him and kept striking his head with a read and spitting upon him. They knelt before him in homage. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him. They pressed into service a passerby Simon, a serene Ian, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. They brought him to the place of Golgotha which is translated place at the school. They gave him wine, drugged with myrrh, but he did not take it. Then they crucified Him and divided his garments by casting lots for them, to see what each should take. It was nine o'clock in the morning when they crucified Him. The inscription of the charge against him read the King of the Jews. With him they crucified the two revolutionaries one on his right, and one on his left. Those passing by reviled him, shaking their heads insane.
Likewise, the chief priests, with the scribes mopped him among themselves and said.
That those who were crucified with Him, also kept abusing him. At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon and at three o'clock, Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
Eloi, Eloi, lama Subak tiny, which is translated, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
Some of the bystanders who heard it said one of them ran, soaked a sponge with wine, put it on a read and gave it to him to drink, saying,
Wait, let us see if Elijah comes to take him down.
Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
The veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. When the centurion who stood facing him, saw how he breathed his last, he said, Truly, this man was the Son of God. There are also women looking on from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of the younger James and of Josias, and Salem a. These women had followed him when he was in Galilee. And ministered to him. There are also many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem. When it was already evening, since it was the day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Aaron mithya, a distinguished member of the council, who was himself awaiting the kingdom of God came and courageously went to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was amazed that he was already dead. He summoned the centurion, and asked him if Jesus had already died. And when he learned of it from the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. Having bought a linen cloth, he took him down, wrapped him in the linen cloth, and laid him in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Joses. Watched where he was laid the gospel of the Lord.
The cost of mercy is the death of Christ. With our sins we have crucified Him. We have given him the lashes. We have given him the sponge of vinegar. This is our gift to him. This is our gratitude for all the many things that God has done for us, for all of his people, throughout time, since the beginning and until now. It is our indifference and it is our sin that has caused the death of his son and continues to cause it. Although we are removed by time and we are certainly nowhere near Jerusalem, yet, the whole reason why we shape our ritual today in such a way that we should enter Jerusalem with him and we should have those palm branches and sing happy songs of Hosanna. So that when we also recollect his death, we may know that we are the ones who have placed him there. The cost of mercy is the death of Jesus. But what is it worth? It is worth your salvation. It is worth your resurrection. A week from today we will celebrate the Happy Easter that is not just of our Lord Jesus, but also the promise of our resurrection to the cost of mercy is great. But what the Lord has given us is so much the creator in these very special days. Let us be close to the Lord who was so close to us, even to the point of death, death on a cross. But because of this, the Lord has given him the name that is above all names. The name of Jesus the whole world, we may know his salvation.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, only begotten Son of God, born from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God and true God because he had not made constant substantial with the Father. Through him all things were made for us men and for our salvation. He came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate for the Virgin Mary, and became man say exclusive crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered a death and it was very be rose again or de accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand bar. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have nowhere I believe in the spirit of or the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and Son, with the Father, the Son, the door and glorified, who has spoken to the prophets. I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the day. And the life of the world. Come on man. Trusting in our merciful Lord, from whom all good things come. Let us turn now and ask him to hear and answer our prayers.
