One of these GOSPELS may be read.
When it is announced

All

Glory to Christ our Saviour.

Matthew 21.1-11 NEB
Jesus and his disciples were nearing Jerusalem; and when they reached Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of them with these instructions: 'Go into the village opposite, where you will at once find a donkey tethered with her foal beside her; untie them, and bring them to me. If anyone speaks to you, say, "Our Master needs them"; and he will let you take them at once.' This was to fulfil the prophecy, which says, 'Tell the daughter of Zion, "Here is your king, who comes to you in gentleness, riding on an ass, riding on the foal of a beast of burden."'
The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed, and brought the donkey and her foal; they laid their cloaks on them and Jesus mounted. Crowds of people carpeted the road with their cloaks, and some cut branches from the trees to spread in his path. Then the crowd that went ahead and the others that came behind raised the shout: 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessings on him who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the heavens!'
When he entered Jerusalem the whole city went wild with excitement. 'Who is this?' people asked, and the crowd replied, 'This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.'
or Mark 11.1-10 RSV
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, 'Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?" say, "The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately."' And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door out in the open street; and they untied it. And those who stood there said to them, 'What are you doing, untying the colt?' And they told them what Jesus had said; and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and threw their garments on it; and he sat upon it. And many spread their garments on the road, and others spread leafy branches which they had cut in the fields. And those who went before and those who followed cried out, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming! Hosanna in the highest!'
or Luke 19.29-40 RSV
When Jesus drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, saying, 'Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, "Why are you untying it?"you shall say this, "The Lord has need of it."' So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, 'Why are you untying the colt?' And they said, 'The Lord has need of it.' And they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it. And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road. As he was now drawing near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!' And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples.' He answered, 'I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.'

At the end the reader says

This is the Gospel of Christ.

All

Praise to Christ our Lord.

The president or another minister addresses the people in these or similar words.

Let us go forth, praising Jesus our Messiah.

After the procession the president says THE COLLECT.

Almighty and everlasting God,
who in your tender love towards mankind
sent your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ
to take upon him our flesh
and to suffer death upon the cross:
grant that we may follow the example
of his patience and humility,
and also be made partakers of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

OLD TESTAMENT READING

Isaiah 50.4-9a NEB
The Lord GOD has given me
the tongue of a teacher
and skill to console the weary
with a word in the morning;
he sharpened my hearing
that I might listen like one who is taught.
The Lord God opened my ears
and I did not disobey or turn back in defiance.
I offered my back to the lash,
and let my beard be plucked from my chin,
I did not hide my face from spitting and insult;
but the Lord God stands by to help me;
therefore no insult can wound me.
I have set my face like flint,
for I know that I shall not be put to shame,
because one who will clear my name is at my side.
Who dare argue against me? Let us confront one another.
Who will dispute my cause? Let him come forward.
The Lord God will help me;
who then can prove me guilty?

At the end the reader may say

This is the word of the Lord.

All

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 69.1-3,7-9,21-23

This response may be used.

Christ Jesus became obedient unto death,
even death on a cross.

1   Save | me, O | God:
    for the waters have come up | even | to my | throat.

2   I sink in the deep mire | where no | footing is:
    I have come into deep waters | and the | flood sweeps | over me.

3   I am weary with crying out    my | throat is | parched:
    my eyes fail with | watching · so | long · for my | God.    R

7   For your sake have I | suffered · re|proach:
    and | shame has | covered · my | face.

8   I have become a stranger | to my | brothers:
    an alien | to my · mother's | sons.

9   Zeal for your house has | eaten · me | up:
    and the taunts of those who taunt | you have fallen · on | me.    R

21   Insults have | broken · my | heart:
    my shame and dis|grace are | past | healing.

22   I looked for someone to have pity on me but | there was | no man:
    for some to | comfort me · but | found | none.

23   They gave me | poison · for | food:
    and when I was thirsty they | gave me| vinegar · to drink.    R

NEW TESTAMENT READING (EPISTLE)

Philippians 2.5-11 NEB
Let your bearing towards one another arise out of your life in Christ Jesus. For the divine nature was his from the first; yet he did not think to snatch at equality with God, but made himself nothing, assuming the nature of a slave. Bearing the human likeness, revealed in human shape, he humbled himself, and in obedience accepted even death--death on a cross. Therefore God raised him to the heights and bestowed on him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow--in heaven, on earth, and in the depths--and every tongue confess 'Jesus Christ is Lord', to the glory of God the Father.

At the end the reader may say

This is the word of the Lord.

All

Thanks be to God.

A CANTICLE, A HYMN, or A PSALM may be used.
