On this most blessed day, O my Lord, we recall Your voluntarily entrance into Jerusalem, the place of Your death.  You came as a humble servant, riding on a donkey, to reveal to me the importance of humility. You did not allow the adulation of the crowd to change You. You also voluntarily went into Jerusalem to model how to live when being unjustly and how to confront with nobility the hatred of others. Help me to truly learn the lessons that You taught me by embracing the challenges of life without bitterness and anger. Help me to live my life with the same nobility that Jesus did. As I request Your help, O God, I offer my praise to You, Who I know to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not only now but forever and ever. Amen.
