O Jesus, I contemplate You in Your triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. Anticipating the crowds which would come to greet You, You rode on a donkey and gave an admirable example of humility in the midst of the acclamations of the crowd who cut branches from the Palms and other trees and spread their garments along the path. While the people were singing hymns of praise, You were filled with pity and wept over Jerusalem. Arise my soul, join the procession of the daughters and sons of Zion and go out to meet your King.
