Postlude Dean Mack

Almighty God, on this day we remember

how Your Son, Jesus Christ, entered the

holy city of Jerusalem and was proclaimed

King by those who spread their garments

and palm branches along His way. Let

those garments and branches be for us

signs of His victory, and grant that we who

bear them in His name may ever hail Him

as our Lord, and follow Him in the way that

leads to eternal life. In His name we pray,

Amen.
