This gospel is read at the procession with palms before Mass:
Mark 11:1-10
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethpage and Bethany,
at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them, 'Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat;
untie it and bring it. If anyone saya to you, "Why are you doing this?"
"The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately" ...'


The readings for the Mass after the blessing of the palms:

Entrance Antiphon: John 12:1,12-13, Psalm 23:9-10
Six days before the Passover, when the Lord came into the city
of Jerusalem, the children ran to meet him; in their hands they carried
palm branches and with a loud voice cried out: 'Hosannah in the highest!
Blessed are you who have come in your abundant mercy! ...


1st Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7

The Lord has given me a disciple's tongue. So that I may know
how to reply to the wearied he provides me with speech.
Each morning he wakes me to hear, to listen like a disciple.
The Lord has opened my ear ...


Responsorial Psalm 21:8-9,17-20,23-24
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?


2nd Reading: Philippians 2:6-11
His state was divine, yet Jesus did not cling to his equality
with God but emptied himself to assume the condition of a slave
and became as men are; and being as all men are, he was humbler yet
even to accepting death, death on a cross ...


Gospel Acclamation: Philippians 2:8-9
Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!
Christ was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross.
But God raised him high and gave him the name which is above all names.
Praise to you, O Christ, king of eternal glory!


Gospel: Mark 14:1-15:47
The passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark:
Narrator: It was two days before the Passover and the feast of
Unleavened Bread and the chief priests and the scribes were looking
for a way to arrest Jesus by some trick and have him put to death.
For they said,
Crowd: It must not be during the festivities, or there will be a disturbance
among the people.' ...


Communion Antiphon: Matthew 26:42
Father, if this chalice cannot pass without my drinking it, your will be done.
