From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Last Year’s Palm Sunday
Dear Friends,
This Sunday we will celebrate Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the “King of the Jews” – then on Good Friday we will see him crucified and once again proclaimed as “King of the Jews” – this time by Pilate! How quickly things can change in less than a week!
We live in equally uncertain times – will the war be over by Easter, or will the Middle East and the world be in the midst of a spectacular disaster? We have no way of knowing! All we can do is trust in God and pray for wisdom and restraint from all those involved.
The readings for Palm Sunday will be from Matthew 21:1-11, Philippians 2:5-11, and Matthew 26:14-29, and we will be singing the hymns Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest; All Glory, Laud and Honour; Hosanna, Loud Hosanna; Above All; and Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!
For Good Friday our Tenebrae Service will have readings from Matthew 26:17-29, Matthew 26:36-56, Mark 15:1-15, Mark 15:16-32, Matthew 27:45-54, Isaiah 52:13 – 53:5, and Matthew 27:62-66. We will sing the hymns When I Survey the Wondrous Cross; O Sacred Head, Now Wounded; How deep the Father’s love for us; My Song is Love Unknown; Were You There When They Crucified My Lord; and O Love that Will Not Let Me Go!
