PALM SUNDAY
OF THE
LORD’S PASSION
We are at the doorsteps of Holy Week where we remember Christ’s passion.
Jesus humbled himself and let go of everything, emptying himself for us. During this me of Lent,
how have we joined the Lord? Has our prayer, peniten al prac ces and almsgiving moved us to
humble ourselves before the Lord? Have we let go of things that keep us from being authen c stewards for Christ Jesus? How have we “emp ed” ourselves so that when we do approach the table of
the Lord, we can be nourished by His body and blood? As disciples of Christ and stewards of His gi
of faith, it is me to evaluate our lives under the cross.
DOMINGO DE RAMOS
DE LA PASIÓN DEL SEÑOR
Estamos a las puertas de la semana Santa donde recordamos la pasión de Cristo.
Jesús se humillo y dejo ir a todo, vaciado de sí mismo para nosotros. ¿Durante este empo de Cuaresma, cómo nos hemos unimos al Señor? ¿Cuenta con nuestra oración, las prác cas penitenciales y
la limosna trasladó a humillarnos ante el Señor? ¿Hemos dejado ir de las cosas que nos impiden ser
autén cos administradores de Cristo Jesús? ¿Cómo hemos "vaciado" nosotros mismos para que
cuando nos acercamos a la mesa del Señor, podemos ser alimentados por su cuerpo y su sangre?
Como discípulos de Cristo y mayordomos de su don de la fe, es empo de evaluar nuestras vidas
bajo la Cruz.

Joint Statement of Bishops Pepe and Calvo
Against Doctor Prescribed Suicide
Diocese of Reno
Bishop Randolph Calvo
As many of you are aware, there is a bill in the Nevada Legislature to make doctor prescribed suicide legal in
Nevada. The bill is SB 261. It provides that a person over 18 years of age who has been diagnosed with a terminal
illness with six months or less to live in the opinion of a doctor, may request that a doctor provide a prescription “that
is designed to end the life of the patient.”
While the teaching of the Catholic Church against suicide is clear, there are other aspects of SB 261 that we,
as Catholics, should also focus on. The very concept of doctor prescribed suicide is an assault on the dignity and
worth of human life. The underlying message is that once a person is told that they have a short period of time to
live, that person’s worth is diminished, and that if a person is unproductive, weak, and vulnerable, they lose their
“value.” Such a concept certainly diminishes the person’s true humanity.
Sadly, it is easier and less expensive to end a life than to care for someone in the midst of suffering. If doctor
prescribed suicide becomes “the new norm,” what comes next? Will monetary factors influence decisions on whether or not someone is given the opportunity to battle against a potentially terminal condition?
Physicians are the first to admit that they are notoriously poor in predicting life expectancy in terminal illnesses, and studies have confirmed this fact. It is very common for people with a terminal diagnosis to live much longer
than six months – often years longer. Some are ultimately cured. Will it become permissible, and even routine, for
health insurance companies to deny further treatment once a person has been given a diagnosis that they will die
within six months? It is a fact that in states such as Oregon and California that enacted doctor prescribed suicide,
insurance companies have denied payment for potentially lifesaving medical treatments, while offering to pay for assisted suicide instead.
What about our brothers and sisters with disabilities who need continued medical treatment in order to stay
alive? Will these disabled persons be deemed to be ultimately “terminal”, and, if so, will government and insurance
companies continue to pay for the treatments or equipment necessary to keep them alive, or will disabled persons be
pressured to utilize the “assisted suicide option”? Will the elderly, instead of being encouraged to pass on their years
of wisdom and love to friends and family, be coerced into taking a deadly prescription, so as not to be a “burden” to
their families? In fact, the number one reason listed by patients in Oregon who request “assisted suicide” is not uncontrolled pain – it is being a “burden” to their families!
Another factor which should be considered if the State of Nevada legalizes doctor prescribed suicide, is the
impact it may have on persons who are battling depression, suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury, or fighting suicidal
tendencies. We believe the message which the enactment of SB 261 would send is that suicide is acceptable, if your
life seems to be hopeless.
A basic principle of Catholic moral teaching is the value of all human life. Legalizing doctor prescribed suicide diminishes the value of life, and is an attack on all human dignity.
We urge you to use the information which is provided below to make sure that your legislators know that you
value human life, and that you oppose legalizing doctor prescribed suicide.
Use the URL https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/79th2017/A/ to go to the official website of the NV Legislature.
It will bring up “Share Your Opinion With Your Legislators”. Select SB 261 from the “Select Bill” drop down, and then
go to the “Your View” line, and click on “Against”. This will register your opposition to Doctor Prescribed Suicide.

EASTER
Easter is right around the corner, and to welcome our risen
Lord we need to get His home in good condition. If you see

THIS WEEK
Let us prepare for Easter during Holy
Week by greeting everyone that we
see here at the Cathedral. We need
to start centering ourselves for the
death of Jesus and His rising on
Easter Sunday. Remember Jesus is
watching us and the day will come
when we will have to explain our actions. This week we will be able to
show one another our caring nature.
Jesus on many occasions during His
public life spoke about kindness,
love, and helping one another.
There are two readings that we
should try to follow one is in Matthew
chapter 25 and the beatitudes.
If all of us follow the simple wishes of
Jesus we will have an eternity with
God.
ENTRADA
¡Gloria, alabanza y honor! ¡Gritad Hosanna y haceos como los niños hebreos al paso del Redentor!
*Gloria, alabanza y honor al que viene en el nombre del Señor! * (2)
Como Jerusalén con su traje festivo, vestida de palmeras, coronada de olivos,
viene la cristiandad en son de romería
*a inaugurar tu pascua con himnos de alegría* (2)
Ibas cómo va el sol a un ocaso de gloria; cantaban ya tu muerte al cantar tu victoria.
Pero Tú eres el Rey, el Señor, el Dios fuerte, *la vida que renace del fondo de la muerte*(2)
Tú que amas a Israel y bendices sus cantos, complácete en nosotros, el pueblo de los santos;
Dios de toda bondad que acoges en tu seno *cuanto hay entre los hombres sencillamente bueno* (2)
SALMO
Dios Mío, Dios Mío, ¿Porque me has abandonado?
OFERTORIO
Cristo Jesús el cual existía en la forma de Dios, no exigió tener la gloria debida a su divinidad;
se anonadó tomando la forma del siervo de Dios y se asemejó a todos los hombres en su condición.
Haciéndose hombre se humilló, se hizo obediente hasta morir en la cruz, hasta morir en la cruz.
Por eso Dios de modo admirable a Cristo exaltó y le otorgó un nombre tan alto que a todo excedió;
para que así el cosmos entero se centre en Jesús, El es el Señor que todo conduce al Padre, amén.
COMUNIÓN
Cristo y su cruz, la salvación, triunfaremos (2)
Nuestra gloria es la cruz del Señor de quien viene nuestra salvación, Él es vida y es resurrección.
El que quiera venir tras de mí que se niegue y renuncie a su yo y me siga abrazado a su cruz.
Como el grano en el surco murió y la espiga es el fruto al segar, fructifica tu muerte en la cruz.
SALIDA
Perdona a tu pueblo Señor, perdona a tu pueblo perdónale Señor.
No estés eternamente enojado, no estés eternamente enojado perdónale Señor.
Por tus profundas llagas crueles, por tus espinas y por tus hieles, perdónale Señor.
Por las heridas de pies y manos, por los azotes tan inhumanos, perdónale Señor.
Por los tres clavos que te clavaron y las espinas que te punzaron, perdónale Señor.
Por las tres horas de tu agonía en que por madre diste a María, perdónale Señor.
La abertura de tu costado, no estés eternamente enojado, perdónale Señor.
