Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.” Philippians 2:8-9 Pastor’s Letter Dear Parishioners and Visitors of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Shrine, This weekend we celebrate Passion Sunday or more commonly called Palm Sunday. It is the beginning of HOLY WEEK. As we journey into this week, let us immerse ourselves in the Passion, Suffering and Death of our beloved Savior, Jesus the Christ. The Lord’s Passion is nothing less than a sign of His love. He ransoms us from sin by His actions. “No greater love is there than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (Jn 15:13) Think about how much we would need to love someone before we would give our very lives so that the other could be saved? Truly, this would need to be a radical love and one whom we love more than our own lives. This describes the type of love God has for all of us. As the Passion unfolds this week beginning today, Jesus calls us into a very intense time of renewal. Ultimately, Easter Sunday will be the culmination of this triumphant renewal of life for all of us. So, as we begin this most Holy Week, let us do so with great devotion and care. I ask you to stop several times throughout this week to meditate on what is happening with each passing day of this week. This week is almost like a retreat for us. That is, a sacred time asking us to step back in thought, prayer and meditation in order to reflect very deeply on what is happening and how it is affecting our lives. The Triduum, the three holiest days of our Church’s liturgical and spiritual life provide us this opportunity to do so. These days consist of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter. HOLY THURSDAY: Jesus invites us to a supper where heaven meets earth, a divine meal. He will take bread and wine which sustains our spiritual journey while on earth and makes them His very Body and Blood to sustain us for eternity. At this same meal, He impresses upon our hearts the call to service in His name and the transformative power this service has both for those who give it and those who receive it. How can we all “lay down our lives” for one another in service? GOOD FRIDAY: Jesus pays the ultimate price for our freedom. He will endure suffering and death so that we have hope that in His death is our everlasting life. Remember, today we will hear the words of Jesus spoken to us-if we remain faithful to Him-“Today you will be with me in paradise.” (Lk 23:43) Wow, what a promise! Do we live as those worthy of such a promise? EASTER: Jesus will open up glory for us and show us His triumph over all that represents sin and death to us through His resurrection from the dead. What forms of death and sin might we need to triumph over at this time in our lives? Do we believe that He has really done this for us? I offer these questions for your meditation and reflection as you begin this Holy Week retreat. Ponder them, meditate upon them. Bring them to prayer, discuss them with someone who shares the Christian faith with you. Most of all, live their reality in your life so that your life may be a true reflection of Him for all others to see. Our lives are walking, talking, breathing and living Holy Weeks. We embody these days in our lives and live their reality as we strive to become what we encounter and become what we celebrate. We all have Holy Thursdays, Good Fridays and eventually, Easter Sundays in our lives. Please try to join us for the Triduum liturgies throughout this week so that you may gain all that they offer. May God bless each of you, especially if you are among us for the first time. We welcome you and hope that you will journey with us as a Body of Christ, a community of faith. Fr. Joe We Pray for...

News & Notes Stewards Speak Up “I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.” (Luke 22:34) Stephen Ministry How many times have you heard someone make a disparaging comment about Jesus or the Catholic faith? How do you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a disturbance or worst yet, because you don’t want your friends or family to think negatively about you? As Stewards we pray for the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful dialogue.

Roesch, Eric Shook, Jr., What is a care receiver? A care receiver is a hurting person who receives care from a Stephen Minister. Can Stephen Ministers care for people outside the parish? Yes. Stephen Ministers often provide care for people in the broader community-relatives, friends and co-workers of parish members, nonmembers whom the parish serve, for example, St. Vincent DePaul Society, as well as military personnel and their families. This is a powerful way that Stephen Ministry can enhance and expand a parish outreach. Stephen Ministers serve people of all religious denominations. “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you.” Psalm 55:22a House of Charity 2016 Campaign “...to grant to us this same readiness to serve those in need.” Pope Francis Readings of the Week The House of Charity Campaign can become that change in which Mercy is delivered to those in need.
