Dominica II Passionis seu in Palmis - Palm Sunday Collect

This collect for Palm Sunday asks that 'we may merit both to keep in mind the lesson of his patience and to be made partakers of his Resurrection.' Palm Sunday inaugurates Holy Week, commemorating Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The collect unites the humility of the Incarnation ('taking upon himself our flesh') with the suffering of the Cross and the glory of the Resurrection.

LATINE
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui humano generi, ad imitandum humilitatis exemplum, Salvatorem nostrum carnem sumere, et crucem subire fecisti: concede propitius; ut et patientiae ipsius habere documenta, et resurrectionis consortia mereamur. Per eumdem Dominum.
ENGLISH
Almighty and everlasting God, who willed that our Saviour should take upon himself our flesh, and suffer on the Cross, that all mankind might have his example of humility for their imitation: grant that we may merit both to keep in mind the lesson of his patience, and to be made partakers of his Resurrection. Through the same.
