The Great Procession

 





a space to explore belonging, hopes and dreams, where we invest our hope …

and to learn about Jesus entering Jerusalem along with crowds of pilgrims.

 

Luke 19.29-40

When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, ‘Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, “Why are you untying it?” just say this: “The Lord needs it.”’ So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ They said, ‘The Lord needs it.’ Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying,

‘Blessed is the king
    who comes in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven,
    and glory in the highest heaven!’

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, order your disciples to stop.’ He answered, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.’

 

What has been the best day of your life?

What makes you happy?

Have you ever been to a sacred place?

You might like to take a folded square of cloth from the table and wave it like a makeshift flag of banner to express something you are thankful for or looking forward to.

If there are others with you, you might like to tell them about these things, or even join in a parade of praise.
