Palm Sunday

 

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st READING 1 ISAIAH 50:4-7

(Christ’s Suffering)

The servant was persecuted and struck by his own people; he was spit upon and beaten. He proclaims the true faith and suffers to atone for the sins of his people. Here we see the foreshadowing of the true Servant of God.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 22

(Christ’s Abandonment)

My God, my God, Why have you abandoned me?

 

2nd READING PHILIPPIANS 2:6-11

(Humility)

Paul urges us to humility by which we are made like Christ our Lord. He put off the majesty of his divinity and became man and humbled himself in obedience to the ignominious Death on the Cross.

 

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW

26:14-27:66

(Christ’s Passion)

Matthew portrays the Passion and Death of Jesus. Jesus gives his disciples his Body and Blood. Judas betrays him. Jesus is condemned to die on the Cross.
