5 OUR LADY OF THE HOLY ROSARY PASSION The contrast between the processional reading in today's liturgy and the proclamation of the Passion is striking.

He must be acknowledged by all, though Catholic Relief Services: $732 they do not know what they are saying. They think he is the promised king, a worldly king of the Jews In order to meet our expenses, we need to collect at least who will free them from the Roman occupation. $1885 in our weekly offering!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION For many centuries, Christian pilgrims have longed to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, and on Passion Sunday the eyes of the world are on the Via Dolorosa, the "Road of Sorrows," in Jerusalem. As soon as it became safe for Christians to worship in public in the fourth century, a way was marked out. It was changed a few times over the years, and today's usual route was sketched by the Franciscans six hundred years ago, although Anglicans and Byzantines have their own unique detours. Friday is the most favored day, although it is crowded then. Almost everyone begins at the Lion's Gate in the Muslim Quarter, and ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It's less than a quarter mile, but it threads its way through crowded markets with souvenir shops and fast-food snacks. There are, just as in your parish church, fourteen stations along the way. The exact spots are not known, but what matters is the pilgrim's unique ability to see even an ordinary road in a teeming city as something more than meets the eye. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Page 5
