Gracious and Loving God, you are the King of Peace, and we thank you for the triumphal entry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, who came not with weapons of power but with humility and compassion, revealing your great passion for peace and justice; grant us grace to welcome Him into our hearts, our churches, our society, and the world at large, and strengthen us by your Spirit that, in places where peace and justice are shattered by conflict and war, we may be faithful bringers of hope, justice, and reconciliation; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forevermore. Amen.
