Matilda will lead both Morning and Evening Prayer this week. Today’s Morning Prayer – Matilda considers a passage from Mark’s gospel, chapter 11, verses 1 to 11. This scripture describes Jesus and the disciples’ approach to the Mount of Olives, where Jesus despatched two disciples to find a young colt for him to ride to Jerusalem; “Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”
