PALM SUNDAY  MARCH 29, 2015
DOMINGO DE RAMOS  29 DE MARZO DEL 2015
DOMENICA DELLE PALME  29 DI MARZO, 2015
“The Lord God is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.’… ‘My God, my God, why have you
abandoned me… But you O Lord, be not far from me; O my help, hasten to aid me’…
Christ became obedient unto death, even death on a cross…” The events of this week
are so well known. We enter the holy city with our palms. We sit at the table for the
Passover meal. Puzzled as Jesus humbly washes feet, we receive our mandate to serve others. We leave for
the Garden of Olives and are asked to pray, if only for an hour. Jesus is taken, arrested like a common
criminal, unjustly tried and condemned. Savagely led through the streets, He is hoisted upon a cross and left
to die. With Mary and John we remain faithful at the foot of the cross. Good Friday sadness will lead to
Easter joy. The events of Holy Week continue today. Many are walking the Via Dolorsa as refugees, asylees,
the terminally ill, homeless and unemployed. The passion continues to be played out where others, like
Christ, seek our compassion and support. The Lord does not abandon them, as the psalm states, when we
respond to their need.
“‘Pero el Señor viene en mi ayuda: por eso, no quedé confundido; por eso,
endurecí mi rostro como el pedernal, y sé muy bien que no seré defraudado.’ ...
‘Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?’ ... ‘Pero tú, Señor, no te quedes lejos; tú que eres mi fuerza, ven pronto a socorrerme’ ... ‘se humilló hasta
aceptar por obediencia la muerte y muerte de cruz.’” Los eventos de esta semana
son bien conocidos. Entramos a la ciudad santa con nuestros ramos. Nos sentamos a la mesa de la cena de
Pascua. Sorprendidos de que Jesús humildemente lave los pies, recibimos nuestro mandato de servir a
otros. Salimos al Jardín de los Olivos y se nos pide orar, aunque sea una hora. Jesús es prendido, arrestado
como a un criminal común, juzgado y condenado injustamente. Salvajemente se le llevó por las calles, se le
cuelga de una cruz para que muera. Con María y Juan nos quedamos fielmente al pie de la cruz. La tristeza
del Viernes Santo nos lleva a la alegría del Domingo de Pascua. Los eventos de la Semana Santa continúan
hoy. Muchos caminan la Vía Dolorosa como refugiados, asilados, o desahuciados, indigentes y
desempleados. La pasión continúa desarrollándose en donde otros, como Cristo, buscan nuestra compasión
y ayuda. El Señor no los abandono, como lo indica el salmo, cuando respondemos a su necesidad.
È allo stesso tempo l’ora della luce e l’ora delle tenebre. L’ora della luce, poiché il
sacramento del Corpo e del Sangue è stato istituito, ed è stato detto: “Io sono il pane
della vita... Tutto ciò che il Padre mi dà verrà a me: colui che viene a me non lo
respingerò... E questa è la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato, che io non perda nulla
di quanto mi ha dato, ma lo risusciti l’ultimo giorno” (Gv 6,35-39). Come la morte è
arrivata dall’uomo così anche la risurrezione è arrivata dall’uomo, il mondo è stato salvato per mezzo di lui.
Questa è la luce della Cena. Al contrario, la tenebra viene da Giuda. Nessuno è penetrato nel suo segreto. Si
è visto in lui un mercante di quartiere che aveva un piccolo negozio, e che non ha sopportato il peso della sua
vocazione. Egli incarnerebbe il dramma della piccolezza umana. O, ancora, quello di un giocatore freddo e
scaltro dalle grandi ambizioni politiche.

In the end only three things matter:

Daybreaks - Rev. Paul Turner
Hosanna!
When the crowds gathered in Jerusalem
on Palm Sunday to greet Jesus upon his entry, they
shouted out this word. They weren't merely
communicating how wonderful they thought Jesus
was. They were also telling him how needy they were.
They needed a savior. We all do. Sometimes the
savior is the guy who can repair the plumbing and
install new lights. But we also need someone who can
repair whats broken inide us. Over the years, we have
fixed some of our faults, but we have let others
remain broken. We carry sin and shame, sadness
and misbehavior, faults and flaws. So we cry out
God, who can offer us forgiveness and a new start.
The people who shouted “Hosanna” turned against
Jesus a few days later. He surely remembered the real
meaning of that word as he hung upon the cross.
He did not abandon them. He saved them. We
praise him. We need him. He is our Savior. When
the great crowd that had come to a feast heart that
Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm
branches, went out to meet him, and cried out:
Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes
In the name of the Lord,
[even] the King of Israel.
JOHN 12:12-13
