It is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ  our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who  spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King,  and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives  and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and  for ever. Amen.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
