Bill” We are Remembering We are not re-enacting, we are remembering. Remembering two journeys of Jesus: the entrance into Jerusalem, and the way to Calvary. We’ve heard the telling of these journeys before, it’s not the first time. What more is there to say? You can’t tell the truth too often, especially when it’s a truth that changed the world in an instant. We might note two details that are unique to Matthew’s Gospel. Only his Gospel reports the suicide of Judas; might this not be the ultimate betrayal? Was he shocked by his own actions? Did he realize what evil he had done? But even so, he still failed to trust the one he betrayed, the teacher who preached the availability of forgiveness, the God who is love. Judas failed to believe in mercy. Another detail unique to Matthew is the torn curtain. In the temple, beyond the heavy curtain was the Holy of Holies, entered only once a year, on Yom Kippur, by the High Priest. This was the dwelling place of the Spirit of God. When Jesus died on the cross, the curtain was rent from top to bottom and the Spirit of God was no longer confined to a place, but now dwells with people …all people. Paul refers to this when he writes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Two journeys …but, the same crowd! That’s a detail that merits our reflection. Remember, one moment we’re holding palms in our hands, and in the next we’re shouting “Crucify him!” "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked, "Who is this?" And the crowds replied, "This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee." - Mt 21:9-11 Palm Sunday: Your Attitude Must Be Christ's We hear in sacred scripture this weekend how Christ redeemed us not by a one-time small gift, but by becoming one of us and giving His whole self even unto death on a Cross. Through our support of Operation Rice Bowl, Catholic Relief Services gives more than short term assistance to poor countries; it establishes long term, personfocused, sustainable programs that provide better opportunities for each individual, and it remains in communities to help these efforts succeed. Parish Office Closed to observe Good Friday Friday, April 22nd all day Parroquia Oficina Cerrada viernes 22 de abril Estamos Recordando No es un drama que estamos presentando, estamos recordando. Recordando dos caminatas de Jesús: la entrada en Jerusalén, y el camino hacia el Calvario. Hemos escuchado la lectura de estas caminatas antes, no es primera vez. ¿Qué más puede uno decir de ellas? No puedes decir la verdad demasiada veces, especialmente cuando es una verdad que cambió al mundo en un instante. Podemos notar dos detalles únicos en el Evangelio de Mateo. Solo su Evangelio nos cuenta del suicidio de Judas; ¿no es su traición final? ¿Fue asustado por sus acciones? ¿Es que realizó el mal que había hecho? Aún así, faltó en confiar en El que traicionó, el Maestro que predicó el perdón, un Dios que es Amor. Judas falló en creer en la misericordia. Otro detalle único en Mateo es la cortina rasgada. En el templo, atrás de la cortina estaba el Santo de los Santos, donde el Sumo Sacerdote entraba una sola vez en el año, en Yom Kippur. Fue donde se hallaba el Espíritu de Dios. Cuando Jesús murió en la cruz, la cortina se razgó en dos y el Espíritu de Dios ya no estaba limitado a un solo lugar, pero ahora habita con personas … cada persona. Pable hace referencia a esto cuando escribe que nuestros cuerpos son templos del Espíritu Santo. Dos caminatas …pero, la misma turba de gente! Eso sí es un detalle que merece nuestra reflexión. Recuerdas, en un momento tenemos las palmas en nuestras manos, y en el otro estamos clamando “Crucifícalo! "¡Hosanna! ¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!" Al entrar Jesús en Jerusalén, toda la ciudad se conmovió. Unos decían: "¿Quién es éste?" Y la gente respondía: "Este es el profeta Jesús, de Nazaret, de Galilea". - Mt 21, 10-11 Domingo de Ramos: Su actitud debe ser la de CristoEn la Sagrada Escritura de este fin de semana escuchamos cómo Cristo nos redimió, no por medio de un solo pequeño regalo, sino convirtiéndose en uno de nosotros y entregándose por completo incluso hasta la muerte en la Cruz. Gracias al apoyo que damos a Operación Plato de Arroz, Catholic Relief Services no se limita a dar una ayuda puntual a los países pobres; desarrolla programas de larga duración, sustentables y centrados en el individuo, al que proporcionan mejores oportunidades para cada uno de los miembros de la comunidad, permaneciendo en éstas para poder alcanzar sus objetivos.
