PALM SUNDAY

Matthew 21.1 - 11

1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.

3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

9 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; Hosanna in the highest.

10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

[Jamestown1630]

This poem, by G.K. Chesterton, has always been one of my favorites. It suggests that all of Creation, even the lowliest, understood what was happening:

The Donkey

When fishes flew and forests walked
And figs grew upon thorn,
Some moment when the moon was blood
Then surely I was born.

With monstrous head and sickening cry
And ears like errant wings,
The devil’s walking parody
On all four-footed things.

The tattered outlaw of the earth,
Of ancient crooked will;
Starve, scourge, deride me: I am dumb,
I keep my secret still.

Fools! For I also had my hour;
One far fierce hour and sweet:
There was a shout about my ears,
And palms before my feet.

Good evening, Jamestown1630, and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.

Thank you for the Chesterton poem...very nice.

Dear God:
I ask that no Airman, Coast Guardsman,
Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Reservist, National Guardsman, or Merchant Marine
feel alone or forgotten.

O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is loving kindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
And He will redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Psalm 130:7 & 8

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Hope you’ve had a restful day and got a late start on it. :-)

[lightman]

Keep the Lord's Day in the Lord's way.

A blessed Palm Sunday (Western)/Sunday of Mary of Egpyt† (Orthodox) to all!

†Orthodox Holy Week and Pascha are one week behind this year.

My favorite Orthodox Palm Sunday hymn:

Rejoice, O Bethany

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, radu, and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.

Any sign of rain?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Extra prayers for Israel...

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

Pretty restful...a little sun, a couple short naps.
We are NOT supposed to have any, but the sky looks like it could snow any time it wants.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

No rain for us. The line that came through with the cold front last evening split in two, leaving us high and dry. Might get some late next week.

Looks like Spring might be looking at y’all. Temps in the 30s, even some upper 30s, next week!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.

And a “blessed Palm Sunday (Western)/Sunday of Mary of Egpyt† (Orthodox)”.

“†Orthodox Holy Week and Pascha are one week behind this year.”

Thanks for the Orthodox Palm Sunday hymn.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

[radu]

Yeah, I noticed it’s clouding up now after a pretty nice first half of the day. And the sun brought along temps in the upper 20s! Been a while since it’s been that warm.

There are a couple of small, light snow showers to the souh, out over the water, but I don’t think they’ll even move up to Anchorage. You’re in good shape. :-)
