PALM SUNDAY OF PASSION OF THE LORD MARCH 25, 2018 FROM THE DESK OF FATHER KALUZA This week begins Holy Week, the most sacred week of the whole year. We are offered two Gospels at Mass for our consideration about our response to Jesus. His triumphal entry into Jerusalem in the midst of jubilation and the waving of palm branches and also the passion and death of our Lord. We re given both ends of the spectrum to consider. It also helps us to make an honest evaluation of our motivation and our Christian faith. Are we swayed by the crowd and with Jesus when things are going well? Do we persevere with Jesus when our faith places challenges around our status? Do we give in to pressure to allow the crowd to continue to assault Jesus? Is the crowd just a big bully? Yet the crowd does sway great influence in both Gospel passages. The crowd eagerly cheers for Jesus as he comes to Jerusalem with glory and majesty, but the crowd has a change of heart and leads him to hang on the gibbet of the cross on the hill of Calvary. Their shouts of hosanna turn to taunts of jeers mocking his royalty and divinity. It all changed during a period of just a few days. How willing the crowd was to be persuaded by the authorities to exchange their palms for calls of crucifixion. Saint Mark s account of the passion presents Jesus as the Messiah who is prophesized in Isaiah as the Suffering Servant. Jesus shares in every kind of human suffering. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus expresses sorrow and distress without any support, even from his closest disciples. He suffers denial and betrayal. As he appears on trial in front of religious authorities and Roman leaders. Jesus is the mocked and abused servant who is ultimately revealed as chosen by God for the mission of salvation. I look forward to seeing you at Holy Week liturgies. Please join us for Mass of the Lord s Supper on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Saint Martin Church with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament continuing until 9 p.m. Good Friday Liturgy is offered at 3 p.m. at Saint Martin and 7 p.m. at Saint Walburga. Our Easter Vigil will be celebrated at 8 p.m. at Saint Martin and Easter Sunday Masses are at 9 a.m. at Saint Walburga and 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. at Saint Martin. There is no 6 p.m. Mass on Easter Sunday.

Calling all Parishioners To Join in Praying the Divine Mercy Novena March 30 (Good Friday) - April 7 In the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus asked that the Feast of Divine Mercy, (known today as Divine Mercy Sunday), be preceded by a Novena to The Divine Mercy. A Novena is nine days of prayer in preparation for a feast. Unlike other novenas, where people ask for something from God through the intercession of His Holy Saints, Divine Mercy Novena is intended to be prayed for graces and/or salvation to be given to other people. In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her: "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls." Please join us Sunday April 8 11:00am 3:30pm DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY Celebration Jesus revelation of the Feast of Mercy: "The Feast of Mercy emerged from my very depths of tenderness. It is my desire that it solemnly be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the fount of My Mercy." Diary of Sister Faustina As part of our celebration this day, Mary Queen of Peace is proud to host Vatican International Exhibition Please join us as we pray for our Lord s intentions. The Novena begins on Good Friday and concludes Saturday, April 7. Pamphlets on how to pray the Novena, including the intention for each day will be available at the back of both churches.
