Read the scriptures for Palm Sunday at this link.

There are two Gospel readings in today’s liturgy, the entry of Jesus to Jerusalem (for the procession which begins today’s Mass) and the full reading of the Passion of the Lord. In the Lectio reflection I use the first and second readings of the liturgy, and if you wish to pray with the Passion of the Lord (audio) you can find this read at this link.

You might remember beginning every new page of school work with the heading A.M.D.G. recalling that the letters stood for Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (For the Greater Glory of God).
