As Jesus rode along ...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 One who comes in the name of the Lord!” Luke 19:36-38
Longing for change after years of Roman occupation, the disciples want Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem to be unmistakable: it heralds a new era of joy, just as Jesus brought joy to the marginalized and oppressed through miracles. Although we still face oppression at the dawn of a new decade, we too can share joy and thanksgiving: for the many small miracles that lift up those around us and remind us of Jesus’ presence in our world.

Let us pray
Dear God, open our hearts that we might sing our praise today. Amen.
