Catholic Mass Palm Sunday 28th March 2021 Mass Online
With faith and devotion, let us herald with the whole Church the beginning of our Lord’s Paschal Mystery, His Passion and His Resurrection.
Jesus’ words “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me” from Psalm 22 reminds us that suffering and death ends with hope and salvation. Through Jesus’ humility and obedience, we are reconciled to the Father, and with the power of His resurrection, we are promised victory over death.

Reading 1, Isaiah 50:4-7
4 Lord Yahweh has given me a disciple’s tongue, for me to know how to give a word of comfort to the weary. Morning by morning he makes my ear alert to listen like a disciple.
5 Lord Yahweh has opened my ear and I have not resisted, I have not turned away.
6 I have offered my back to those who struck me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; I have not turned my face away from insult and spitting.
7 Lord Yahweh comes to my help, this is why insult has not touched me, this is why I have set my face like flint and know that I shall not be put to shame.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24
8 ‘He trusted himself to Yahweh, let Yahweh set him free! Let him deliver him, as he took such delight in him.’
9 It was you who drew me from the womb and soothed me on my mother’s breast.
17 I can count every one of my bones, while they look on and gloat;
18 they divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
19 Yahweh, do not hold aloof! My strength, come quickly to my help,
20 rescue my soul from the sword, the one life I have from the grasp of the dog!
23 ‘You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All the race of Jacob, honour him! Revere him, all the race of Israel!’
24 For he has not despised nor disregarded the poverty of the poor, has not turned away his face, but has listened to the cry for help.
