21:1 Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.” 4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” 10 And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?” 11 And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

I wish for you a cross that is not padded but one that breaks the easy hopes we are given and finds new reason to believe
I wish for you a crown that is not comfortable but one that challenges the biased powers of the world and begins a new kind of kingdom
I wish for you a robe that is not purple but one that is torn and dirty from sheltering the poor and shape a new way to live together
I wish for you bread that is not whole but is broken and divided enough to feed the hungry and offer a new justice to all
I wish for you wine that is not sweet but one that is sharp and reminds us of the sacrifice that newly opens the gate of heaven
I wish for you a garden before sunrise that you may be first to see footprints of the gardener and exclaim anew: ‘My Lord, it is You!’
