Liturgy for March 29, 2026 | Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

Posted: March 29, 2026 in Uncategorized

Gathering | Hosanna

I see the King of Glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes

I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me

Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna in the highest

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 22 My God, My God

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

R./ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

All who see me scoff at me;
they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads:
“He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him,
let him rescue him, if he loves him.”

R./ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Indeed, many dogs surround me,
a pack of evildoers closes in upon me;
They have pierced my hands and my feet;
I can count all my bones.

R./ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

They divide my garments among them,
and for my vesture they cast lots.
But you, O LORD, be not far from me;
O my help, hasten to aid me.

R./ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

I will proclaim your name to my brethren;
in the midst of the assembly I will praise you:
“You who fear the LORD, praise him;
all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him;
revere him, all you descendants of Israel!”

R./ My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Lenten Gospel Acclamation from Mass of Creation

[Skip to 4:59]

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
King of endless glory

R./ Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
King of endless glory


Christ became obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.

Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ
King of endless glory

Preparation of the Gifts | As I Have Done For You

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

All the world will know
you are my disciples
by the love that you offer
the kindness you show
You have heard the voice of God
in the words that I have spoken
You beheld Heaven’s glory
and have seen the face of God

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

I must leave you now
only for a moment
I must go to my Father
to make you a home
On the day of my return
I will come to take you with me
to the place I have promised
where your joy will have no end

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

I am like a vine
you are like the branches
If you cling to my teaching
you surely will live
If you make your home in me
I will come to dwell within you
You can count on my mercy
when you ask for what you need

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

I have called your friends
now no longer servants
What I told you in secret
the world longs to know
There can be no greater love
than to give your life for others
As the Father has loved me
So I love you as my own

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

You will weep for now
while the world rejoices
But the tears of your sorrow
will soon turn to joy
As a mother cries in childbirth
and her pain is turned to gladness
you will know great rejoicing
on the day of my return

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

I will give you peace
this will be my blessing
Though the world churns around you
I leave you my peace
I have told you all these things
that my peace may dwell within you
Let your faith be unshaken
and your hope be ever strong

I, your Lord and Master
now become your servant
I, who made the moon and stars
will kneel to wash your feet
This is My commandment
to love as I have loved you
Kneel to wash each other’s feet
as I have done for you

Communion | Behold the Cross

Behold the cross
on which was hung
life’s very Lord
God’s darling One
Mary’s own babe
so cold and so still
helpless before her
on Calvary hill

Nails in His hands
nails in His feet
a traitor kiss
upon His cheek
and His pierced heart
now broken in two
love crucified
for me and for you

Eyes that won’t see
ears that won’t hear
lips that deny
the friend once so dear
slowly He turns
and captures your eye
then passes on
to Cal’vry to die

Behold the cross
of Christ in our midst
all those who bear
His wounds in their flesh
Suff’ring for crimes
of mercy and peace
signs of the Kingdom
on Calvary street

Behold the cross
on which was hung
life’s very Lord
God’s darling One
Mary’s own babe
so cold and so still
helpless before her
on Calvary hill

Reflection | Worthy Is the Lamb

Thank you for the cross, Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank you for this love, Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Refrain
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious

High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Repeat Refrain until end
