Reflection after Holy Communion for Palm Sunday

Lord Jesus Christ,
you have accompanied me on my journey through Lent;
be with me still in this most holy of weeks –

when we come again to the foot of the Cross, when all seemed lost,
and move through the emptiness
towards the new dawn of Easter.

As I share the moments of your Passion,
help me to embrace the glory and the joy of the cross
through which you redeemed each one of us.

Instil in me a desire to draw closer to you;
to follow you more closely in my daily life
and to reflect your love and mercy to those I meet each day.
Amen
