»Hosanna – Save us Oh Lord! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna means “ Save us” (N.T.: osanna, from Heb. hosha'na, probably a shortening of hoshi'ah-nna "save, we pray"). We need salvation urgently. It is like if we were crying “ Rescue us, Lord!” Today, brazilian people cry out “ Hosana”!When Jesus entered into Jerusalem ridding on an ass, the crowds preceding Him cryied “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest."Nowadays, there is a crowd that is hurt and wound for drugs, prostitution… their soul have cryied: “Hosana”In Brazilian people is crying as well. Thousands of them did not have a personal encounter with Jesus, but within each one of them, there is a great desire to have their lives changed and transformed completely.It really happens after a personal encounter with the Lord. Please, take a look to your family. How many of your parents have met Jesus?Sometimes you desmay because you have been praying for your addicted father, your sister, your mother and for those who have not met Jesus. If you notice, you will see a crowd inside your family (cousin, aunt, uncle, grandma,etc.) that have not a meeting with Jesus; no forgeting those who curse you. Even these one have the same desire to be saved. Their soul cry “Hosana – Save me Oh Lord!” It is repeated in our work, our neighborhood, even in the Church there are people crying – “Save us!”When Jesus entered into Jerusalem, He rode on an ass. Today, the Lord need a new one. The Lord need you to carry Him to those who suffers. Jerusalem is not a phisical place, today it means your house, work, neighborhood, school. You should be the one who carries Jesus to those who needs. I need to be the one to carry Jesus to Brazil“LORD, grant salvation! LORD, grant good fortune! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the LORD'S house. (Psalm 118, 24-25)“Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in mortals. Better to take refuge in the LORD than to put one's trust in princes.” (Psalm 118, 8-9)The mankind has mistaken because has entrust in men and not in the Lord. Of couse you do not need to mistrust people; we should put our confidence in God and not in providence of people, politics etc.Jesus has visited each country, we need to realize what He means:"If this day you only knew what makes for peace--but now it is hidden from your eyes” (Luke 19,41)“Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." – Save us oh Lord!Fr.
