THE SUNDAY OF THE PASSION: PALM SUNDAY
The liturgies on the morning of the Sunday of the Passion (Palm Sunday) are designed by the Book of Common Prayer (as are the liturgies of all Sundays) to take us through the week to come. So, since this is Holy Week, Palm Sunday covers both the triumphant entry into Jerusalem (the Blessing of the Palms and the Palm Procession) as well as Christ's Passion (which we unpack each day of the week to come, especially on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday). The idea here is that a person could attend church on Sundays only and still participate in the entirety of Holy Week and Easter: Palm Sunday takes us through Christ's Crucifixion, and then Easter Sunday celebrates Christ's Resurrection.

Of course, we're not suggesting you skip the rest of Holy Week--indeed, we strongly encourage you to spend the entire week with us. But if you are wondering why the morning liturgies on Palm Sunday end with Christ Crucified, you now have your answer: the church is structured so that Sunday worshippers get the gist. If you seek more than the gist, you're in luck: at Saint Thomas, we know how to dwell. Come and worship with us all week long. You won't regret it.

Collect:

Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may both follow the example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Blessing of the Palms & Said Eucharist
8:00am - Saint Thomas Church
Epistle: Philippians 2:5-11
