The Entry into Jerusalem
Dear friends,
A reading from A reading from St. Mark’s Gospel (11:1-11):
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately on entering it, you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone should say to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ reply,‘The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.'” So they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. Some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it. So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields.
Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!” He entered Jerusalem and went into the temple area. He looked around at everything and, since it was already late, went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

When I was in Jerusalem on the Sunday of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem a group of us went to Bethany and marched to Jerusalem singing and following the same path that Jesus did.
Below you will find the message of Our Lord and King given to Father Melvin. Jesus spoke to him these words,
“I fill you with joy My brother Melvin and all My brothers and sisters scattered in every continent of the world. Join Me in My solemn entry into Jerusalem. All the people were filled with joy as they traveled with Me to the gate of Jerusalem. The people honored Me as their King and indeed I am a King. However, you know that in a week’s time I would be condemned to death and nailed to a cross to die a horrible death. I accepted to suffer and die in order to bring salvation to you all. It is time now for the New Evangelization so that the people may come to accept once more that I am their Savior and I am the only One who can bring them to heaven. My people: be My witnesses to all the people you meet and you will be blessed. I give you My love, peace and joy.”
Father Melvin
