What do we celebrate today? Some say it’s Palm Sunday, and that we commemorate the Lord’s joyful entrance into Jerusalem. Carrying palms, we honor the LORD with Hosannas. Others call it Passion Sunday, and that we remember Jesus’ suffering and death on the Cross. We hear the entire Passion narrative presented almost like a play. By using our imaginations we visualize the LORD endure his agony in the garden. We watch Pilate sentence him to death. We hear soldiers scourge and mock him. Our mood changes from jubilation to grief. So begins Holy Week, the culmination of six weeks of Lenten fasting, prayer, almsgiving and special devotions. What do you do with your blessed palms? Many put them on the wall behind the crucifix in their home. Others weave them into various shapes and display them appropriately. Like all the holy objects in our homes, the palms are meant to remind us of some aspect of our faith; in this case, Jesus’ triumph over sin and death. Holy Week also includes the Sacred Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil. How might we make the most of this week? We can contemplate the events of Jesus’ Passion, Death, and Resurrection through the eyes of the person who most loved him, his mother Mary. With Mary we watch Jesus dragging his heavy Cross to Calvary; we are with her at the foot of the Cross when Jesus dies; and we help her take Jesus’ body down from the cross and lay him in the tomb. In the end we rejoice with Mary on Easter! Ruth Ann Pilney, T.O. Carm.

Es el día en que Jesús, muriendo en la cruz, se revela al mismo tiempo como Hijo del Hombre e Hijo de Dios. Los hispanos onmemoramos este día no sólo con la liturgia oficial de la Iglesia, sino también con nuestras devociones populares como el Vía crucis en vivo, el Pésame a la Virgen y el sermón de las Siete Palabras. Esta última devoción es también conocida como el Sermón de tres horas y es mayormente usada por las Iglesias protestantes, sin embargo, tiene su origen gracias al sacerdote Jesuita Francisco del Castillo, en Perú. Como Jesús, este santo varón dedicó toda su vida a los pobres y marginados. El Viernes Santo de 1660, mientras predicaba en la iglesia de Nuestra de Señora de los Desamparados, ante la efigie del Señor en agonía, decidió hacer una comparación del sufrimiento de Cristo al sufrimiento de los desamparados, llamando a los cristianos al apostolado de caridad y justicia. Las siete últimas palabras de Jesucristo deben movernos al servicio de los desamparados. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

She is sorely missed. How wonderful to see over five hundred people in our church remembering her! We should continue to remember her family who remain with us. Please keep Edio and all his family in our prayers. I especially wish to thank Kelly Tigue and all the Ladies Society members who helped her make the reception for Joan such a memorable celebration of Joan’s life. Like Father John, I always praise our ladies — they always come through. Sheila Tavano, President SPRING SESSION OF SEASONS OF HOPE NEW SERIES BEGINNING APRIL 24, 2014 Everyone who is in Bereavement feels they have to walk the road by themselves. It is true that the experience is a unique and personal adventure. However, when done in the company of others who have had this experience, everyone has support and is able to experience GRIEF RECOVERY. The “Seasons of Hope” is a 6-week program that can provide a safe place to come, talk about your loss in confidence with others who have been or are going through this experience and find that you are not alone. The new Spring Sessions begin April 24th, the first Thursday following Easter Sunday, and run through May 29th. THE NEW TIME: 6:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M. in Classrooms 3 & 4. Pre-registration is necessary so that a sufficient number of materials are ordered and on hand for the first meeting. If you have questions or wish to register, call Carol Davis, 530-748-9337 or leave a message at the Church Office.
