Happy Palm Sunday!

[HandmaidenofGod]

As both the Orthodox and Catholic Church's celebrate the feast day on the same date this year, I wanted to wish our Catholic friends on the board a blessed and glorious Palm Sunday!

"Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!"

Not just for the Roman Catholics, either, pretty much all the Western Christians celebrate Palm Sunday today.  My facebook profile is going crazy with my Baptist family and friends posting "Hosanna."

Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!

[IsmiLiora]

How do you say it in Greek again? (I can't believe I forgot already)


But as I used to say it, in Hebrew, "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai!"

O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heaven to all us below:
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

To Thy great Name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three!
O grant us endless length of days
With Thee in our true country.
Amen.

Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

Evlogimenos o erchomenos en onomati kyriu.

BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM

Thirty years among us dwelling
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this he meets his passion,
For that this he freely willed;
On that cross the Lamb is lifted,
Where his lifeblood shall be spilled.

He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar, and spear, and reed:
From that holy body beaten
Blood and water forth proceed:
Earth and stars and sky and ocean
By that flood from stain are freed.

Faithful Cross above all other,
One and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be;
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweet the Weight that hangs on thee!

Bend thy boughs, O tree of Glory!
Let thy rigid sinews bend;
For a while the ancient rigor,
That thy birth bestowed, suspend;
And the King of heavenly beauty,
On thy bosom, gently tend.

Thou alone was counted worthy
This world's ransom to sustain;
That a shipwrecked race forever
Might a port of refuge gain;
With the sacred Blood anointed
Of the Lamb for sinners slain.

Glory be to God, and honor
In the highest! as is meet,
To the Son, and to the Father,
and eternal Paraclete,
Whose is boundless grace and power
Through the ages infinite.  ~ Monastic Diurnal


Invocabo nomen tuum, Domine: ne avertas faciem tuam a clamore meo!

I will invoke Thy Name, O Lord, turn not thy face away from my cry!

In nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur caelestium, terrestrium, et infernorum: et omnis lingua confiteatur, quia Dominus Jesus Christus in gloria et Dei Patris.

At the name of Jesus every knee shall bend of those in heaven, on earth and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that the Lord Jesus Christ rests in the glory of God the Father.
