When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it.
If anyone says to you, `Why are you doing this?' just say this, `The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.'" They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street.
As they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?" They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it.
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!
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!"
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Collect
Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The collect offers an interesting prayer request, that we may by God's mercy walk in the way of suffering of Christ?
Do we really mean that?
And if so, what is it that we think to walk in the way of his suffering might mean?

Mark's account of obtaining the donkeys for the procession always sound to me as if there had been a secret code set up previously, like in the spy movies and shows.

Richard,
I looked up the Palm Sunday collect in the 1928 BCP, and the two are quite close:
Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility; Mercifully grant, that we may both follow the example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ ur Lord. Amen.
In his The Oxford American Prayer Book Commentary, Massey Hamilton Shepherd states that the collect is pretty much taken from the Gregorian Sacramentary, although Thomas Cranmer added in the phrase "of thy tender". Shepherd suggets that this collect is the closest thing the BCP has for a statement of the doctrine of the Atonement.
It looks like the more modern collect points more directly to the Way of the Cross, while keeping the sense of incarnation, passion, and resurrection that the original has. In 1928, walking the Way of the Cross was very much of an Anglo-Catholic practice in the Episcopal Church. Now, large numbers of Episcopal Churches do it.

I will always miss the 1928 Prayer Book, and not, I don't think, just because I was raised with it. Thanks for pointing the corresponding prayer in the older book. It seems to me to have different focus, perhaps as you suggest.
When you speak of the Way of the Cross, are you speaking of a prayer ritual akin to the Stations of the Cross, or is it a more theological approach to living and interpreting your faith.
I am still not sure that I undestand the intent of the prayer to grant us to suffer. I much prefer to be granted patience. :)
It may be though that patience as used in the 1928 Prayer Book, or in Cranmer's language, had more a sense of suffering.
Perhaps a study of the Prayer Book would be a good topic on GospelTalk?

I am probably thinking of the Stations of the Cross, but there is a theology behind that.
The Latin patience has the sense of suffereing in it, as do us when we are patients in a medical setting.
The Prayer Book study would be interesting to those of us ho have used it.
Many people talk about their favorite bible passages, and I have thought the morning and evening canticles are the most popular bible passages who grow up with them, as Episcopalians are not great Bible readers outside what they hear (or perhaps read) while in church. So, the Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) and the Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2:29-32) and in the pslams, the Venite (Ps 95:1-7) and the Jubilate Deo (Ps 100), are the bible passages that loom up in my head and might be able to quote from memory. This is because we sung them, not because we thought about them.
