3 SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS MARCH 20, 2016 A message from Fr. Tony PASSION The word passion connotes deep, focused engagement. It also relates to passivity, interes ngly. The deeply passionate person in the Gospel narra ve from Luke is Jesus. He appears passive, but he is not. He is wholly self-possessed and wholly present for the one day that begins on Thursday evening at his last meal with his apostles and ends with his burial before sunset the next day. Then follows the long Sabbath silence. The narra ve of the Passion is read whole and without pause on the Palm Sunday of the Passion. This story, found in each of the Gospels, is unchanging. We are the ones who change. Each year, we bring ourselves with another year s history to hear and heed the story we so badly need. Life has its way with us, and we look again to the Passion narra ves to learn to follow. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Pero es interesante que también ene relación a la pasividad. La persona profundamente apasionada del relato evangélico de Lucas es Jesús. Parece pasivo pero no lo es. Está totalmente consciente de sí mismo y totalmente presente al día que comienza el jueves por la noche en su úl ma cena con los apóstoles y termina con su en erro antes de la puesta del sol el día siguiente. Entonces le sigue el largo silencio del sábado. El relato de la pasión se lee entero y sin pausa el Domingo de Ramos en la Pasión. Esta historia, que se encuentra en cada uno de los evangelios, no cambia. Somos nosotros los que cambiamos. Cada año, nos presentamos con otro año de historia para escuchar y hacerle caso a esta historia que tanta falta nos hace. La vida nos traquetea y de nuevo volvemos a los relatos de la Pasión para aprender a seguirle. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION What day is today? Ask most folks strolling home from church today and they will reply Palm Sunday. Not too long ago, today was known as the Second Sunday of the Passion, and in 1970 it was renamed Passion Sunday. This made some sense, since the procession recalling Christ s entry into Jerusalem is usually only celebrated once in a parish on this day, but the Passion is proclaimed solemnly at every liturgy. In its most recent incarna on, the name for this day includes both aspects of the celebra on: Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. In the United States today, most worshipers are provided with palm branches, although in northern Europe pussy willows are favored, and in Italy olive branches are the norm. When our calendar was reformed, the en re structure of the week to come was revised even as the tradi onal name, Holy Week, was retained. The major benefit of the restructuring of our calendar is to help us see that the Triduum, the great three days beginning at sunset this Thursday and extending un l sunset on Easter Sunday, is at the heart of the Chris an life. Today, as you ponder the Lord s Passion, you may consider your response to so great a gi. Centuries ago, good Chris ans vowed to go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Today, at least once in your life me, promise to par cipate faithfully in the liturgies. Now begins the Church s annual bap smal retreat: don t be le out! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
