At the conclusion of Service the “Opening of the Doors” ceremony and procession.
Palm Sunday summons us to behold our King, the Word of God made flesh. We are called to behold Him not simply as the One who came to us once riding on a colt, but as the One who is always present in His Church, coming ceaselessly to us in power and glory at every Badarak, in every prayer and Sacrament, and in every act of love, kindness, and mercy. He comes to free us from all our fears and insecurities, to take solemn possession of our soul, and to be enthroned in our heart.

Palm Sunday summons us to accept both the rule and the Kingdom of God as the goal and content of our Christian life. We draw our identity from Christ and His Kingdom. The Kingdom is Christ – His indescribable power, boundless mercy and incomprehensible abundance given freely to mankind. The Kingdom does not lie at some point or place in the distant future. In the words of Scripture, the Kingdom of God is not only at hand (Matt 3.2; 4.17), it is within us (Lk 17.21). The Kingdom is a present reality as well as a future realization (Mt 6.10).
