Palm Sunday
Oratio, Visio Divina, and Crumbs from our Master's Table.
Oratio
We ask you, O Lord, in your forgiving love, turn away what we deserve for our sins, nor let our offenses prevail before you; but let your mercy always rise up to overcome them; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.1
Visio Divina
Visio Divina is a way of entering our prayer closet through sensible perception.
Almighty and everlasting God, who of your tender love towards mankind, hast sent your 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, Amen.2
