A Rosary in preparation for Palm Sunday

As tomorrow is Palm Sunday, I wanted to pray a short and simple rosary in preparation.  This repeats a single prayer set four times, focusing on the key message of Palm Sunday and Jesus' arrival 

A Rosary in preparation for Palm Sunday

The Cross

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

Almighty God, 

whose Son came to us in humility, 

riding on a donkey and welcomed with palms: 

prepare our hearts to follow him, 

through praise and suffering, 

to the glory of his resurrection. 

Amen.  

The Invitatory Bead 

Lord Jesus, you come in peace and humility. 

Enter my heart, and make it your dwelling place.

The Cruciform Beads (repeat on each of the four) 

Saviour of the world,
you entered in triumph and were led to suffering:
keep me faithful in times of praise and trial,
that I may walk your way of peace.
Amen.

Week Beads

Lord Jesus Christ,
as you entered Jerusalem,
help me to welcome you with joy,
to follow you with faith,
and to walk with you in love,
even when the path leads to the cross.

Amen. 

Closing Prayer (Back at the Invitational Bead) 

Lord Jesus,
you are my King and my servant:
rule in my heart,
and teach me to serve as you served.
Amen.

Final Blessing (Back at the Cross) 

May Christ, who humbly entered Jerusalem,
lead us in the way of peace.
And the blessing of God almighty,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
be upon us and remain with us always.
Amen.
