In today's Office of Readings we encounter a reading from the discourse "On the Palm Branches" by St. Andrew of Crete (ca. 650-740 A.D.).
Andrew was a noted preacher of sermons and discourses, and it is extracts from these that form some of our Second Readings. As might be expected from such a poet they are clear and inspiring (credit: Universalis, http://www.universalis.com).
For a reflection, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; blessed is the King of Israel," on this Palm Sunday please click on the image.
Peace be with you!
