"When they drew near Jerusalem and arrived at Bethpage, on the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying 'Go to the village in front of you, and there you will find a donkey tied up with its cold by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says something to you, say: The Lord needs them but he will send them back immediately.'

"This happened in fulfillment of what the prophet said: Say to the daughter of Zion: See, your king comes to you in all simplicity, riding on a donkey, a beast of burden, with its colt.

"The disciples went as Jesus had instructed them, and they brought the donkey with its colt. Then they threw their cloaks on its back, and Jesus sat on them.

"Many people also spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The people who walked ahead of Jesus and those who followed him began to shout: 'Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna, glory in the highest!'

"When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was disturbed. The people asked, 'Who is this man?' And the crowd answered, 'This is the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee.'"

MATTHEW 21:1-11

"Lord, make my heart a fertile place for You
to come and provide growth."
