In Fr. Randy’s sermon yesterday, he reminded us that we must walk the full journey of Holy Week in preparation for the coming of Easter.  We cannot, “skip the hard parts.” With that in mind, I share this prayer from the New Zealand Prayer Book
 
Jesus, when you rode into Jerusalem the people waved palms with shouts of acclamation. Grant that when the shouting dies, we may still walk beside you even to a cross; for the glory of your holy name. Amen.
~ A New Zealand Prayer Book, p. 581
