1 Eveline, they have 2 children at St. Anne School.

These readings for Palm Sunday and the Passion used to be read on successive Sundays.

2 April 14, 2019 Palm Sunday of the Passion of Our Lord The Lord G is my help, therefore I am not disgraced. Isaiah 50:7a THE STORY OF OUR REDEMPTION We begin the final week of Lent with these familiar readings. This year, we hear the Passion from the Gospel of Luke. These readings for Palm Sunday and the Passion used to be read on successive Sundays. Now they are combined into a single feast, so that we may see the whole sweep of the glory and the suffering played out. Jesus accepts the adulation of the crowd, the foreshadowing of his glory in the Resurrection. He bids farewell to his disciples in his last Passover, and forgives his tormentors as he dies on the cross. Later this week, we enter the Holy Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, when the whole story of our redemption will play out once again. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Later this week, the Chrism Mass is celebrated in every cathedral in the world in preparation for the Easter Triduum. Only a bishop can consecrate chrism, pure olive oil infused with rich fragrance, so this liturgy is a sign of the unity of the local Church and the bishop s ministry to all who will be baptized and confirmed in our parishes in the coming year. Chrism is also used in the ordination of priests and bishops and the consecration of new altars. Two other sacramental oils, the unscented olive oil for catechumens and for the sick, will be blessed in the same liturgy and transported carefully to every parish by the beginning of the Triduum. Remember when Noah s dove returned with the sign of the world s rebirth? The dove carried an olive branch, a pledge that God was breathing the world to life again. Yet olives require human nurture. Olives are inedible unless they are cured by human labor. Olive trees grow on sunny slopes, away from the shade of city walls, so they can only be properly tended, cured, and laboriously pressed in peace time. The Chrism Mass with its olive oils expresses God s deepest desires for us, and our resolve to place our lives in service to God s saving, healing, loving plan. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Pastor s Corner Our High Holy Days - This week the Church enters into the depths of God's love for us. We have a saying that "actions speak louder than words." So this week's remembrance of Jesus' final days recalls not only what Jesus taught us but what He did for us: that He loved us to the point of laying down His life for us. All that Jesus taught us, He lived out patiently and lovingly for us in His last 3 days. In essence, the Triduum (or the 3 days), is a summary of all that He taught us. On Holy Thursday, when we celebrate the Last Supper of the Lord and do foot washing, we recall how Jesus taught us that the greatest in the Kingdom of God must be one willing to serve the rest. And after mass, as Jesus and His disciples went to Gethsemane garden to pray, we will process with the Blessed Sacrament to the Church hall and spend quiet time with Him. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is available until 11pm. On Good Friday, the heart of Jesus' teachings is lived out -- that God loves sinners, He even calls us friends, and willingly lays down His life to redeem us. He is willing to overlook our faults and forgives even those who put Him to death. At the Easter Vigil, He teaches us that when we entrust our lives to God as He did before His last breath, God will not disappoint us but will raise us up to new life. So not only can we have confidence in the words Jesus taught us that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, but we can have confidence because He was raised from the dead. I'm grateful that Fr. Peterson Tieng will be the one who will offer us the Good Friday noon reflection on the 7 Last Words of Jesus. He is of the Lorenzo Ruiz Mission Society, and as such, he has a special missionary charisma to share what he has learned with others. He is a great Bible teacher, and is a much sought after speaker. And on Good Friday evening at 7pm, our parish will pray the Stations of the Cross. At the Easter Vigil presided by Bishop Walsh, 8 adults will be received into the Church. So we invite you to join us in one or all of the special holy days of our salvation. The schedule is shown on the cover of this bulletin. Fr. Dan Everyone 14 years of age and older is bound to abstain from meat on Good Friday. And everyone 18 years of age and older but under the age of 60 is also bound to fast on Good Friday. That means only one full meal on that day unless health or ability to perform one s work would be seriously affected.
