On this day Jesus entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Help us remember the palm branches as signs of his victory, to hail him as our king, and to follow him in the way that leads to eternal life. Amen Collective Opening prayer Please let us all stand and pray together as we begin our worship together this evening. Almighty and ever living God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility. 1985, Augsburg Publishing House.

When Christ died, the curtain of the temple was torn in two. We all have sinned in some way.
