A Prayer for Palm Sunday
Oh God, you are interrupting me with eternity.
And I’m not sure I’m ready.
Take hold of time and order it once again. Let me keep pace with you.
On this Palm Sunday, time is marked as one small donkey plods towards Jerusalem. One with a face set like flint, feet almost grazing the ground, walks forward toward the eastering of all sorrow – not in the power of horses and swift victory, but in small, steady steps.
Toward the mystery that through suffering, healing comes,
that through shame, dignity is restored,
that through the cross, powers are disarmed,
and death done away with forever.
Blessed are all those walking forward into the great, small work they do: in hospitals, homes, supermarkets, classrooms, churches and cafés.
And blessed are we joining the crowds waving palm branches to shout ourselves hoarse: “Hosanna! Save us! Save our world!.” ©Kate Bowler & Jessica Richie
