Today's video service for Palm Sunday is provided by
Rev. Dr. Robert Sears
on behalf of the Parish of St. Cyprian's, Lacombe, Alberta.
May it bless your day.
Readings for Sunday, April 24, 2022
Acts 5:27-32
Psalm 118:14-29
Revelation 1:4-8
John 20:19-31
We continue to pray for the people of Ukraine. At noon today the bells at St. Cyprian's will be rung, and there will be a short time of prayer.
God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
*RE: "Low Sunday": Wikipedia has this information:
Another name traditionally given to this day in the English language is Low Sunday. The word "low" may serve to contrast it with the "high" festival of Easter on the preceding Sunday. Or, the word "low" may be a corruption of the Latin word laudes, the first word of a sequence used in the historical Sarum Rite.[7]
