"Hosanna! Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!"🧔♀️️
"THIS IS THE MOST HOLIEST WEEK OF THE CATHOLIC YEAR!": 🙏️
During this, the holiest week of the year,our most Holy Mother Catholic Church asks her children to recall with singular devotion the greatest mysteries of our Holy faith: "Christ crucified, buried and then risen" and also Christ instituting the Most Holy Eucharist for us. In order to make it easier for the faithful to participate in those inspiring and grace laden ceremonies, Pope Pius XII promulgated the following Order for Holy Week.
The Blessing, the Antiphons of the Procession and the "Hymn to Christ the King" make this one of the most impressive ceremonies of all the Liturgical Catholic Year.👍️
This Sunday commemorates Christ's triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. For this reason the Church blesses palms to remind us of the multitude which accompanied Him carrying branches and strewing them in His way, while they chanted: "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Today the traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Holy Mass of, Palm Sunday. Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics; Gospel. Matthew. 21, 1-9. At that time: When Jesus drew nigh to Jerusalem, and was come to Bethphage, unto Mount Olivet: then He sent two disciples, saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to Me: and if any man shall say anything to you, say ye that the Lord hath need of them, and forthwith he will let them go. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt, the foal of her that is used to the yoke. And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them. And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made Him sit thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way: and the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the Son of David! blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Why did Jesus enter with so much solemnity into Jerusalem?
To present Himself as the promised Messias and King of the Jews, Whose triumphant entry into Jerusalem the prophet Zachary had predicted.
Why did the people go to meet Jesus with palms in their hands?
It was done by a divine inspiration, to show that Jesus, as the victor over death, Satan, and hell, would gain for us the palm of peace with God, our neighbor, and ourselves, and that He would open to us the heavenly Jerusalem. And yet these same people, five days later, desired His death, crying out, "Crucify Him!" Learn, therefore, to confide in God alone, and not in man; for he who is with you today may be against you tomorrow. Be cautious, therefore, and watchful, lest, imitating the changeableness of the people, you at Easter receive your Saviour with joy, and then after a while, by new sins crucify Him again. 😓️
Why is this day called Palm Sunday?
#1. In memory of the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, when He was received by the devout people with palms.
#2. Because the Church today blesses palms, with which a solemn procession is held.
Why are the palms blessed?
#1 To protect in body and soul for those who carry them with devotion.
#2 To bless the dwellings into which the palms are brought.
