We praise you, O God, for redeeming the world through our Savior Jesus Christ, who on this day entered the holy city in triumph and was proclaimed messiah and king by those who spread garments and branches along his way. Bless these branches and those
gathered today. Grant us grace, O God, to follow our Lord in the way of the cross, so that, joined to his death and resurrection, we enter into life with you; through the same Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
