The Palm Sunday Processional

Posted on by Elenie

Calling out Hosanna In the Holy Land

 

We are blessed to be able to march in the Palm Sunday procession in Jerusalem. As we walked through the streets, waving our palm branch and calling out “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9), I felt a deep connection to the powerful words of scripture and the hope and promise of our faith.

The cry of “Hosanna” is a plea for salvation, a cry for help in times of trouble. The same cries Jesus heard as he entered Jerusalem! Hearing the crowds called out for salvation, recognizing him as the one who comes in the name of the Lord. In this cry, we stir up the depth of our need for redemption and the power of our faith to provide that redemption.

In the Gospel of John, we are reminded of Jesus’ own words: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). Through Jesus, we find the way to salvation and the promise of eternal life. It is this promise that we celebrate during the Palm Sunday procession.

As we march, we were reminded of the words of the Psalmist: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! We bless you from the house of the Lord” (Psalm 118:26). We are called to bless the name of the Lord, recognizing the power and majesty of our God and the hope that he provides.

Our experience of marching in the procession was deeply moving, as we felt a sense of connection to the centuries of Christians who have participated in this tradition. The cry of “Hosanna” echoed through the streets, reminding all of us of the power of our faith to provide salvation and redemption in times of trouble.

May we always remember the hope and promise of our faith, and may we continue to call out for salvation in times of need. Let us carry the message of the Palm Sunday procession with us, trusting in the love and grace of our Lord to guide us through any challenges that we may face.

 5 Daily Devotional Prayers of Peace, Joy, and Hope

We lead a stressed life, and prayers have become an integral part in our lives to keep us joyous, hopeful, and at peace. May these five daily devotional prayers for peace give you joy and hope in the grace and mercy of God!

1. Prayer for Hope and Positivity

Dear Lord,
I pray to you today and every day to bring in new hope and peace in my life. There are many such instances when I feel completely helpless and weak. These are the times when I need your kindness and love. King of Kings, I desperately need your light on my entire body, and want to bask in your divine glory. I require your presence in my life to know about all the righteous things in the world. Help me to lead my life in your glory and faith. I pray in your name. Amen.

1. Prayer for Love, Hope, and Faith

Almighty God,
Shower us with true faith and bless us so that the faith keeps growing within us every day. I also need love and hope to serve all my neighbors and friends through your only son Jesus Christ and according to your will. Christ reigns and lives with the Holy Spirit and you now and forever. Amen.

3. A Prayer for Hope

Dear Lord,
Help me so that I can hear you say the magic words “I am your hope” when I am in darkness and feel lonely. Your words signify that you are the sole hope for people like me. I come to you with my hands stretched out to get your blessings. Fill me up with new hope and positivity, and keep reminding me that hope is a spiritual lifeline.

Almighty Father, you know of my condition and how I feel so hopeless today. I trust you completely and am confident that you can help me come out of my current situation and lead a peaceful life. You are my only pillar, and I depend on you. Amen.

4. Hope in the Promise of God

Almighty Father in heaven,
Please take care of all your believers struggling with hopelessness, guilt, frustration, doubt, anxiety, anger, weakness, temptation, selfishness, sadness, regret, and pain. I have started realizing that all things end in good for all people who love you. Irrespective of what condition we may go through, you have a good purpose, which we often fail to understand. May you bring in new hope and joy in the lives of all the sufferers. This is also my prayer for peace in mind. Amen.

5. Prayer for Refuge and Hope

Holy Lover, God, Lord of my soul,
My soul will rejoice when you come into it. You are my heart’s glory. Dear Lord, you are also my only refuge and hope when I go through difficulties in my life. I pray you remove all passions from my mind and all misled affections that exist. Cleanse me and cure me from within so that I have the courage to suffer, be fit to love, and steady to persevere.

You have made me realize that love is the sweetest emotion, and there is nothing better nor fuller than it on earth and heaven. That’s because love rests in God and is born of Almighty. It is an emotion above all other feelings. Bless me so that my love for you is more than for myself. May I truly love you the most always! I pray in your name. Amen.

5 Prayers of the Faithful for Holy Thursday

5 Prayers of the Faithful for Holy Thursday

In the Prayer of the Faithful, believers respond in a particular manner to God while holding the office of the baptismal priesthood. We offer such prayers to the Lord for everyone’s salvation. As a practice, such prayers are a part of Masses celebrated with congregations. Here are our top 5 picks of Holy Thursday prayers of the faithful just for you.

1 Prayer for Inspiration and Help

Dear Lord,
We contemplate the suffering and the sacrifice that Christ experienced for us. We come to you asking for your inspiration and help. Today, we pray for all people who carry a heavy cross like Christ due to lack of shelter, poverty, sadness, and illness. We also pray for all those believers who need your support. Amen.

2. Prayer to Protect from Coronavirus

Mother Mary,
You continuously shine on your path as a sign of hope and salvation. You are our hope and refuge as we urge upon you for the good health of the sick. You participated in the pain of Jesus at the foot of the Holy Cross. May feasting and joy return after this trial so that we conform ourselves to the will of the Father and follow what Christ tells us! Amen.

3. Prayer against Racial Discrimination

Lord of justice,
You create all your people equally in your wisdom without any kind of exception. We open our eyes through your goodness to see the worth, beauty, and dignity of all human beings. Open our minds to appreciate that all children of yours are sisters and brothers and belong to the same family of humanity. Make our minds broader to oppose racist behaviors, speech, and attitudes that humiliate others.

4. Prayer to Make Amends for Past Injustices

Open our ears to listen to the cries of all those racially discriminated people and hear their desperate appeals for change. Give us the power to make our resolution stronger to make necessary amends for injustices towards them in the past and to make amends for the mistakes of history.

Fill us with valor so that we can build bridges, heal wounds, show mercy, and be forgiven. Establish equality and peace for everyone in our communities. We are praying for this through our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.

5. Prayer to Gratefully Surrender Ourselves into Hands of God

Dear King of Kings,
We pray that you offer us the courage and conviction so that we can surrender to the hands of God. Make us give up our worries and anxieties and help us to end our agonies with understanding. Bless all those people who carry the burden of suffering and poverty. Provide food and shelter to the poor and hungry, and sufferers. Help all those who are going through stress or are lonely. Amen.

5 Powerful Prayers to Overcome Fear and Anxiety

5 Powerful Prayers to Overcome Fear and Anxiety

We live in a world where crazy things happen all the time. These may include national and cross-border problems, corruption, family problems, stress at the workplace, businesses closing, and so on. It is natural to feel anxious and fearful from time to time as life is so uncertain. There is no surety of what is going to happen tomorrow.

However, if we offer prayers to overcome fear and anxiety, we will experience a blissful and calm state of mind. So, check out these five powerful prayers to overcome your fear and anxiety.

1. Prayer to Banish Misplaced Anxiety and Fright

Dear Heavenly Father,
I am aware of how natural it is to be concerned about other people’s opinions. However, you wish me to live according to your truth always. I should do away with misplaced fear and anxiety. You want me to be brave while facing my ordeals. I know you are always there to help me out and want me not to fear anyone.

Lord, I trust you completely and will not surrender before my anguish. I will not lead my life in terror, fear, or anxiety. Amen.

2. Prayer to Avoid Future Worries 

Dear Lord,
There are times when I know I worry excessively and fuss about even the tiniest of things, such as, what I should wear, what to eat, and so on. The worst part is that I even worry about what will happen in the future. I understand how foolish it is to worry about something that does not even exist now.

Jesus, I pray that I never worry about my future. You have not offered me the grace for bearing upon future concerns. I will avoid worrying about what is going to happen tomorrow from now onwards, my Lord. Amen.

3. Share Your Anxious Thoughts with Christ

Dear Jesus,
I feel gratitude for your ultimate sacrifice on the cross for our welfare and to ensure that we have true freedom. Sometimes, I am fearful and full of anxiety when I do not focus on you, Christ.

My Savior, please show me how to eliminate all my anxieties. You realize how easy it is to give away worry and fear, but I know that you can take care of all my concerns. I urge you to love me forever. Amen.

4. Take Your Concerns and Fears to God

Dear God,
I often feel that I take all my worries and concerns to all places except you. I am aware you hear me King of Kings when I share my fear with you. I also know you care a lot about the difficulties I am going through in my life now.

I also believe you want me to have a clear mind always. So, pardon me if I let my anxiety block my thinking. Please make me take all my concerns to you in all circumstances. Let me start believing in your power to intervene and show me the right path. I will be grateful for your kindness and love, dear Father. Amen.

5. Remembering That Our Lord Does Not Create Fear or Anxiety 

King of Kings,
I believe you do not bring anxiety and concerns into my life. That is the realm of Satan because he gets pleasure in causing pain to your children. You are not the tormentor as you can never cause us any kind of pain or anguish. You want peace in everyone’s life.

Please help me believe in your power when there is anxiety and fear in my life. Help me believe that you are faithful and love all your children. Guide me to banish my anxieties with trust and positivity instead of having destructive thoughts. Bring peace to my mind so that I can lead a normal life. Amen.

Prayers for Healing That’ll Bring Peace and Strength

It is normal to feel helpless in times of physical or emotional hardships. There are many such occasions when you feel as if things will never improve. However, the Holy Bible states that everything is possible with God. So, even when there are obstacles in your life – with your work, health, relationships, or something else, take a moment to sit and make your prayer request for healing. You can feel the difference immediately.

You may not get immediate solutions to the hurdles or crises you face. However, a prayer of healing can offer you great comfort at times when you require it most. Of course, the prayers you say can be for others too. If you know anyone who is facing hardship or obstacle, keep them in mind during your healing prayers. They will also be at peace as a result.

Here are some of the prayers for healing that can bring peace and strength:

1. Prayer to Have Patience Even While Sick

Lord Jesus Christ, you suffered earthly pain and agony but showed us the way to be obedient to the will of your Father.

2. Prayer to Heal a Broken Heart

God, I pray that you heal my broken heart and fill me with joy and peace. I know that you are capable of doing so during this difficult time. Please walk beside me on my way to recovery and healing! I am sure that it is only possible through your power. Amen.

3. Prayer to Comfort You in Suffering

O loving God, I pray to seek your blessings and comfort me during my suffering. Dear Lord, give me the confidence I require to come out of the low phase in my life.

4. Prayer for Self-Care

God, I seek your blessings today and I pray that you equip me with self-care and strength during all times. I pray that you help me to become patient and wise. I also request you to inspire me throughout the day and take the correct actions to behave well and walk proudly. I pray for all these things in the name of our Lord. Amen.

5. Prayer for Mental Healing

Christ, I know that when you were on this planet, you had to go through tremendous hardships. You had to feel the stress of the earth and went through lots of mental torment. Therefore, I request you could be close to me now and show me the right path during this adverse time. Please guide me so that I can calm my inner turmoil and find peace. I feel safer when you are beside me and have complete trust in you my God. Amen.

6. Prayer for the Sick

May God shower you with His Love and make you feel cherished and safe. May Christ’s healing power breathe across the being now. Amen.

7. Prayer for Healing Their Emotional Pain 

Dear God, I am praying to you for [Name of the Person] and others in my circle of friends or family. They need your special healing touch for their bleeding hearts. Some of these people have received severe emotional wounds. Let them be willing so that you can heal their wounds. I plead with you to take care that they do not become destructive over time.
