The Gospel for Palm Sunday Matins sung and read by St. Mary Chicago Deacons on the day of Palm Sunday

Matins Gospel Psalm For Palm Sunday | St. Mary Chicago

In this gripping Holy Week sermon, Fr. Paul unpacks the cursing of the fig tree and exposes one of the most dangerous traps in the spiritual life: the performance trap. Why did Christ curse the fig tree that looked fruitful but had no fruit? Because outward appearances without inward transformation deceive—and Christ sees through it all.

Standard Cyrillic Fraction - O God Who Predestined Us | Fr. Antonious Ibrahim Ayad

"Those, O LORD, repose them in that place; and we, too, who are sojourners in this place, keep us in/by Your faith (faith of/in You), grant us Your peace unto the end (always), and lead the way for us into Your kingdom—that in this, likewise in all, Your great, all-holy, honored, and blessed Name be glorified, praised, and exalted with Your beloved Son and the Holy Spirit. 

As He-Was and Is and Shall-Be unto generations of generations and unto the ages of all ages. Amen."

Palm Sunday Doxologies (Coptic&Arabic)|Mlm Ibrahim & Chorus|ذكصولوجيات احد الشعانين | المعلم ابراهيم

[Verse 1]
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

[Verse 2]
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

[Bridge]
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
And I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
