Lectio Divina Musings


March 28, 2021
 
On this Sunday, we celebrate the memorial of Jesus coming into Jerusalem to accomplish the paschal feast later this week. The Paschal Feast consists of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection, commonly known by some as PDR.
In some cases the solemn possession begins outside, leading into the Narthex where palms will be picked up by attendees at the Mass. The procession will continue in the Church Proper and to the altar where Mass begins with the priest blessing the people. The Liturgy of the Word will be read, using Isaiah 50:4-7. Then there will be four speakers, about the passion taken from Holy Scripture and representing one person and three groups: the voice of the Lord, our own voice(crowd), the voice of the world(under the dominion of Satan), and the voice of the devil. They will be listed as, a cross for Christ(priest speaker), N for narrator, V for voice,  and C for Crowd.
This will set the Mass in a slightly different way. The central part of the Reception of the body and blood of Christ, the Preface, Communion Prayer offerings, and the Final blessing will be followed.
