Palm Sunday

 

Hosanna! Mk. 11:10

Some of the words we use at Mass,

Are like a foreign language.

Ancient words from times gone past.

Symbols and imagery that people do not use in ordinary language.

But there is a reason for it.

Religious language is meant to take us away,

from the mundane things of this world,

And transport us to the heights of Heaven.

But if one does not know the meaning of the words,

It is just gibberish.

We say Hosanna at every Mass,

But What does it mean?

When a football team takes the field.

A cry goes up;

The fight song is sung;

And the crowd goes wild.

So we to should be excited and cheer;

For the Lord is taking the field;

Holy, Holy, Holy is our fight song!

Hosanna to the Lord God of Hosts!

Blessed is He Who is coming in the name of God.

Hosanna!

And He is truly coming

To this church! To this altar!

And Like an athlete, leaves it all on the field;

Christ is going to leave it all on the cross.

Bruised and bloodied

But not broken;

Victorious in the fight with sin and death.

We are facing challenges and battles

Everyday of our life.

And sometimes it seems like the odds are against us.

But at every Mass,

The Lord comes,

Our Savior, Our Champion

To fight for us.

So the cry of every Christian in the arena of this world,

Is Hosanna, Hosanna,

And We are sure to win the battle,

For Our Savior, Our Champion is coming.

Blessed is He Who comes in the name of God!

Hosanna in the Highest!

God Bless
