Reflection: The Hosanna prayer was the cry for rain in the Jewish liturgy, a prayer connected with the feast of Tabernacle. The literal meaning of this Greek word is “Save Please.” The Hosanna singing during the Jerusalem entry of Jesus was an earnest plea for salvation to Jesus, the royal son of David, by the people who followed him and experienced his power even to raise the dead. The cry for salvation is the sign of people’s recognition of Jesus as the saviour. In that dimension the Hosanna singing also becomes a singing of praise. Their cry for help also included their praises for the many works that he had been doing. People remembered all the deeds of power performed by Jesus and began to praise God joyfully (Lk 19:37). They remembered how the blind saw, lame walked, the lepers got cleansed the deaf heard, the dead were raised, the good news preached to the poor by Jesus. In Jesus they saw the immanence of their Kingdom of God expectations. The cry “Hosanna in the highest” signifies the Messianic dimension of the salvation: the salvation that comes from heaven. Do we actually remember the countless acts of mercy that he has been performing for us in our day today life? The remembrance of his steadfast love for us which is new every morning (Lam 3:23) gives us a courage to place our ultimate trust in him and cry out to him for help at every moment of our life, even during the most discouraging situations.
