§ “God Almighty here I am / Am I where I ought to be / I’ve begun to soon descend / Like the sun into the sea / And I thank my lucky stars / From here to eternity / For the artist that you are / And the man you made of me.” -Kris Kristofferson, “ Feeling Mortal” And blessed is the servant He shall find awake and watching.” -“ Behold the Bridegroom (Arabic)” Behold, the Bridegroom is coming in the middle of the night. § “My Spirit seeks you early in the night watches, for Your commandments are a light on the earth. § “Ah! Turn me not away, / Receive me tho’ unworthy / Hear Thou my cry, / Behold, Lord, my distress! / Answer me from thy throne.” -“ O Divine Redeemer” by Charles Gounod, performed by Jessye Norman Holy Tuesday § “Hold on jus’ a little while longer / Hold on jus’ a little while longer / Hold on jus’ a little while longer / Everything will be all right.” -traditional Negro spiritual, performed by Bobby McFerrin & The Kumba Singers § “Your only Son no sin to hide / But You have sent Him from Your side / To walk upon this guilty sod / And to become the Lamb of God.” -“ Lamb of God,” Eden’s Bridge § “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world / have mercy on us / Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world / grant us peace.” -translated text for “ Adagio for Strings,” Samuel Barber Thou art my God and I will praise thee thou art my God, I will exalt thee.” -“ Hosanna filio David,” Chœur grégorien de Paris Holy Monday
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: / His mercy endures for ever. § “Hosanna son of David: / Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord, King of Israel: / Hosanna in the highest. § “O’er all the way green palms and blossoms gay Are strewn this day in festive preparation, Where Jesus comes, to wipe our tears away, E’en now the throng to welcome Him prepare.” -translated lyrics of Jean-Baptiste Faure’s “ Les Rameaux (The Palms)” sung by Enrico Caruso This is the trek Jesus made on his final entry into Jerusalem, where crowds formed a processional line waving palm fronds. § Watch this short (3:49) video from 1940 of Arab Christians marking Palm Sunday by marching from Bethphage, down the Mount of Olives, through the Kidron Valley, and then climb again to reach Jerusalem. No one had an inkling of what would come next. As the disciples feared, the authorities arrested, tortured, and lynched Jesus by crucifixion, a form of capital punishment reserved for political subversives. Palm Sunday was a dangerous provocation, which Jesus struggled to clarify in Maundy Thursday’s footwashing. Given Jesus’ notoriety, many hoped-or feared-he was there to ignite a violent insurgency against Roman tyranny and Temple collaboration. Both the palms and the hosannas had an undercurrent of insurrection. And they shouted “Hosanna”-”God save us!”-not so much for heaven but from Rome’s colonization. The crowd that welcomed Jesus waved palm branches-symbols of victory which, then as now, implied military engagement. Rome always brought in extra security forces during this period. It was Passover season, recollecting the Hebrew freedom march out of Egypt thus nationalist sentiment ran hot. They knew the dangers for Jesus, and for themselves, since both the Temple elite and the Roman rulers were lying in wait for an opportunity to nab Jesus. The disciples did not want to be in Jerusalem.
