I found him guilty of no capital crime.'" The Palm Sunday Gospel readings present a sad picture of grown-ups who succumb to peer pressure. Three times, Pilate proclaimed that Jesus was not guilty. But yet, he gave in to the mounting pressure from the crowd, whose "voices prevailed... and he handed Jesus over to them." Also, during the opening Gospel at the procession of palms, we see the adoring crowds hailing Jesus as "the king who comes in the name of the Lord," but only too soon the chorus changes as the voice of the crowd cries out, "Crucify him! Crucify him!" What happened to Jesus' loyal supporters? How did the mob mentality overtake them all? Then too, we have Peter, who in comfortable company with Jesus and his friends promised eternal faithfulness. But when others began asking uncomfortable questions, he caved: "Woman, I do not know him." These three scenarios give us a chance to reflect on our own faithfulness as we journey into Holy Week. Like Pilate, do we know the truth but abandon it when it becomes unpopular? Public opinion these days declares much Church teaching to have fallen out of favor--will we renege like Pilate or stand fast to the faith? The fickle crowds demonstrate another kind of weakness, where instead of thinking for themselves, people just followed those around them. Are we guilty of this kind of passive intellectual laziness? How about Peter's problem: do we change our story based on current company, or do we live as consistent Christian witnesses in the world? This week, may we have the courage to accompany Jesus all the way to the cross, no matter what anyone else may do. © Liturgical Publications Inc Liturgical Ministers LECTOR CUP USHER LECTURA EUCARISTĺA PETICIONES MONAGUILLOS Mar 24 – Holy Thursday 6:00 pm Joy Stone David Barbour — Kevin Archer Ward Rummell — Tony Novak Mar 24 – Jueves Santo 8:00 pm — Felipe Rosales y Mariana Orea y Maria Lopez Angel — Jackeline - Thilia Fredy – David Urbina Mar 25 – Good Friday/Viernes Santo 3:00 pm LECTOR Ron Carney USHER Linda Cowart — Jim Dobson Mar 26 – Easter Vigil/Sabado Santo 8:30 pm LECTOR Peter Stone — Steve Boike - Joan Boike Jose y Diana y Briana Nieves y Virgilio Perez CUP/EUCARISTĺA Tony y Sandra Hernandez y Carmen Vasquez MONAGUILLOS Russel Tarr — Jared Mathewson - Angel Gilberto - David Martinez Mar 27– Easter Sunday 9:00 am LECTOR Daniel Walker CUP Gregory Kochak — Gen Phillips USHER Bill Sproul — Gary Benitez Mar 27 - Domingo de Pascua 11:30 am LECTURA Miguel Rodriguez - Lleimi Peña EUCARISTĺA Miguel Garcia y Maricruz Franquiz y Maria Luisa Lopez PETICIONES Pablo Pereira MONAGUILLOS Roger — Elian - Miguel Garcia Mateo – Jose Hernandez Altar Care for March Fran Pursley — Amy Tarr Collection Counters for March 20 F.

Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor Empieza la Semana Santa. La liturgia de hoy tiene un elemento previo muy significativo, no es tan solo la Misa del Domingo, sino que conmemoramos la entrada del Señor a Jerusalén. En esta primera parte de hecho se bendicen las palmas. Además, la Misa incluye la lectura de la Pasión del Señor. La celebración de hoy es como el puente entre el fin de la Cuaresma y la introducción al Triduo Pascual. En el Domingo de Ramos dan comienzo los actos religiosos propios del Misterio Pascual. Pasión, muerte y resurrección del Señor. También en las parroquias hispanas se aprovechan elementos propios de la religiosidad popular. La mayoría de ellas celebran con gran fervor el Vía Crucis o Estaciones de la Cruz. ¿Cómo celebraremos esta Semana Santa? ¿Estamos ya preparados? Recordemos que la Semana Santa no es sólo pasión, sufrimiento, muerte. También es esperanza para todos nosotros de gloria, vida y resurrección. Sé que el pueblo hispano se identifica con la cruz de Jesús, pero a la vez muchas veces no ve en el sufrimiento la vida nueva, la resurrección, la transformación de actitudes. Ojalá que al levantar nuestras palmas en este Domingo de Ramos recordemos la victoria de Cristo sobre la muerte. Reflexionamos en la segunda lectura de hoy: "Para que, al nombre de Jesús, todos doblen la rodilla en el cielo, en la tierra y en los abismos, y todos reconozcan públicamente que Jesucristo es el Señor, para gloria de Dios Padre" (Flp 2, 10). Seamos como el centurión romano, que al morir Jesús reconoció, "Verdaderamente este hombre era justo" (Lc 23, 47). © Liturgical Publications Inc March 20, 2016 Stewardship Thoughts In the area of time and talent, many individuals commit a certain number of hours each week to prayer and charitable activities.
