Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

First Reading : Isaiah 50: 4-7
The prophet suffers in carrying out his mission, but is confident that God will vindicate him.

Second Reading: Philippians 2: 6-11
Because Jesus took on himself our human condition and accepted death on a cross,
the Father has made him Lord of heaven and earth.

Gospel: Luke 22: 14-23:56
Luke’s version of the Passion Story. As in the rest of his Gospel, so in his account of the Passion,
Luke presents a Christ who is merciful and forgiving even to his executioners.
