Divine Mercy Sunday Pastor s Corner Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion, March 28, 2010 Dear brothers and sisters, For five weeks of Lent we have been preparing, by works of charity and self -sacrifice, for the celebration of our Lord's Paschal Mystery. This Sunday, we come together to begin this solemn celebration in union with the universal Church. Jesus Christ entered in triumph into his own city, Jerusalem, to complete his mission as Messiah: to suffer, to die, and to rise again. Rev. Samuel Loterte, SSS Let us remember with devotion this entry which began the saving work, and follow Jesus with a lively faith. United with him in his suffering on the cross, may we share his resurrection and new life. God bless you, Fr. Samuel E. Loterte, SSS Prayer Service April 10, 2010 from 2:30-3:30 pm RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CALENDAR March 28 RE classes No Scripture Study on Holy Saturday. Class Resumes on Saturday, April 10. Holy Week ST.

3 Sunday Reflection: Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion (C) March 28, 2010 Is 50:4 7; Ps 22:8 9, 17 18, 19 20, 23 24; Phil 2:6 11; Lk 22:14 23:56 or Lk 23:1 49 by Father Greg Friedman, O.F.M. "Sunday Soundbite" for St. Anthony Messenger Press, on the Web at FranciscanRadio.org "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." These words of Jesus from Luke's account of Christ's Passion and death reveal the compassion of the Suffering Servant. Each of the evangelists has a distinctive portrait of Jesus as he walks the way to Calvary. Luke remains consistent to the characteristics he's highlighted all through his Gospel. He especially depicts Jesus' concern for those on the margins of society, shown as the Lord heals in the Garden, comforts the weeping women, forgives his executioners and welcomes the repentant thief. Many of us, I m sure, have known people near death who show more concern about the feelings of those around them, than for themselves. We marvel at the selfsacrifice such heroic love involves. Here, in this Sunday's account of the Passion, is the model for all love the sacrificial love of Jesus, which continues to be available for each of us. Luke painted this portrait specifically for a Christian community in the latter half of the first century, which faced internal doubts and external persecution. It seems clear that he's urging them and us, the Church at the beginning of the Third Millennium to cling fast to the image of the Suffering Messiah, whose example of love ought to guide our personal and communal life as Christians and as the Church.
