Palm Sunday Passion of the Lord
Collect
Almighty ever-living God,
who as an example of humility for the human race
to follow
caused our Saviour to take flesh and submit to the
Cross,
graciously grant that we may heed his lesson of
patient suffering
and so merit a share in his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
First Reading (Is 50:4-7)
A reading from the prophet Isaiah.
The Lord has given me a disciple’s tongue. So
that I may know how to reply to the wearied he
provides me with speech. Each morning he wakes
me to hear, to listen like a disciple. The Lord has
opened my ear. For my part, I made no resis-
tance, neither did I turn away. I offered my back to
those who struck me, my cheeks to those who
tore at my beard; I did not cover my face against
insult and spittle. The Lord comes to my help, so
that I am untouched by the insults. So, too, I set
my face like flint; I know I shall not be ashamed
The word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
Responsorial Psalm
R. My God, why have you forsaken me?
All who see me deride me.
They curl their lips, they toss their heads.
“He trusted in the Lord, let him save him;
let him release him if this is his friend.” (R.)
Many dogs have surrounded me,
a band of the wicked beset me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet.
I can count every one of my bones (R.)
They divide my clothing among them.
They cast lots for my robe.
O Lord, do not leave me alone,
my strength, make haste to help me! (R.)
I will tell of your name to my brethren
and praise you where they are assembled.
“You who fear the Lord give him praise;
all sons of Jacob, give him glory.
Revere him, Israel’s sons. (R.)
Second Reading (Phil 2:6-11 )
A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Phi-
lippians.
His state was divine, yet Christ Jesus did not cling
to his equality with God but emptied himself to
assume the condition of a slave, and became as
men are, and being as all men are, he was hum-
bler yet, even to accepting death, death on a
cross. But God raised him high and gave him the
name which is above all other names so that all
beings in the heavens, on earth and in the under-
world, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus
and that every tongue should acclaim Jesus
Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father
The word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
Gospel Acclamation
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory!
Christ was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross.
But God raised him high
and gave him the name which is above all
names.
Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory!
Gospel
(Lk 22:14-23:56)
Profession of Faith
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible
and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of
the Father before all ages. God from God,
Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
Father; through him all things were made. For
us and for our salvation he came down from
heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our
sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he
suffered death and was buried, and rose again
on the third day in accordance with the Scrip-
tures. He ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father. He will come
again in glory to judge the living and the
dead and his kingdom will have no end. I
believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver
of life, who proceeds From the Father and the
Son, who with the Father and the Son is
adored and glorified, who has spoken
through the prophets. I believe in one, holy,
catholic and apostolic church. I confess one
Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead and
the life of the world to come.
Amen
Hymns All Glory Praise and Honour
All glory praise and honour,
to you,
redeemer King
For whom the children's voices
made glad hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel
and David’s royal son
Who in the Lord’s Name comes to us,
the King and blessed one.
The company of angels
are praising you on High
And mortal men and all things
created make reply.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went.
Our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present.
Oh Sacred Head Surrounded
O sacred head, surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
Our sins have marred the glory
of thy most Holy Face,
Yet angel hosts adore Thee
And tremble as they gaze.
The Lord of every nation
Was hung upon a tree:
His death was our salvation,
Our sin, his agony.
O Jesus, by thy passion
Thy life in us increase.
Thy death for us did fashion
Our pardon and our peace
.Hail Redeemer, King Divine
Hail redeemer, King divine!
Priest and lamb, the throne is thime:
King, whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.
Angels, saints and nations sing:
Praise be Jesus our King:
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary.

Drive For Life Fundraising Hike. This 25-km hike is along the wilderness of the enchanted Kerry Way via Torc Waterfall, down into the Black Valley, and out through the Gap of Dunloe to Kate Kearney’s cot-tage. The hike will be held in Killarney on Saturday 18th of May based at Kate Kearney’s, Gap of Dunloe with regis-tration from 8.30 to 9.00 am. This fundraising hike is in support of the Medical Mis-sionaries of Mary Health Outreach programme to remote villages in Northern Tanzania. Due to lack of antenatal clinics in this remote area some women have difficulty during child birth, and some die. Since 2015 the MMM Health Outreach programme has treated 31,146 children in some of these remote villages. This programme pro-vides health education, vaccinations for children, antena-tal advice and health care ,before referring for specialist care. The population of this area is 105,065 who are mostly pastoral Maasai people. Tanzania has a population of about 70 million with over 100 different tribes. If you wish to support this project or participate in the hike please contact Willie 087 6633577 or email [email protected] for further information and spon-sorship card.

HOLY WEEK The season of Lent closes with Holy Week. The Liturgy is not afraid of tragedy. It makes us live the hour of Jesus, that Hour at once dark and glorious for which he said he had come. We follow his every footstep, fro the trium-phant entry into Jerusalem acclaimed by the crowd of his followers, to the loneliness of Golgotha where he is aban-doned by almost everyone, even those he himself had cho-sen and for whom he gives his life. Everything happens quickly and seems to collapse. Yet, even in what seems complete dereliction-’Father, why have you deserted me?’ - Jesus, with outstretched arms, attracts and gathers to himself mankind and the universe. All seems lost, all is about to begin.
