For us, Christ is everything. We begin each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer, we minister to the needs of those who ask our help with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him!

From a sermon by Saint Andrew of Crete, bishop

Let us go together to meet Christ on the Mount of Olives. Today he returns from Bethany and proceeds of his own free will toward his holy and blessed passion, to consummate the mystery of our salvation. He who came down from heaven to raise us from the depths of sin, to raise us with himself, we are told in Scripture, above every sovereignty, authority and power, and every other name that can be named, now comes of his own free will to make his journey to Jerusalem. He comes without pomp or ostentation. As the psalmist says: He will not dispute or raise his voice to make it heard in the streets. He will be meek and humble, and he will make his entry in simplicity.

Let us run to accompany him as he hastens toward his passion, and imitate those who met him then, not by covering his path with garments, olive branches or palms, but by doing all we can to prostrate ourselves before him by being humble and by trying to live as he would wish. Then we shall be able to receive the Word at his coming, and God, whom no limits can contain, will be within us.

In his humility Christ entered the dark regions of our fallen world and he is glad that he became so humble for our sake, glad that he came and lived among us and shared in our nature in order to raise us up again to himself. And even though we are told that he has now ascended above the highest heavens – the proof, surely, of his power and godhead – his love for man will never rest until he has raised our earthbound nature from glory to glory, and made it one with his own in

(Continued on page 3)

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the King of Israel.

heaven. So let us spread before his feet, not

garments or soulless olive branches, which delight the eye for a few hours and then wither, but ourselves, clothed in his grace, or rather, clothed completely in him. We who have been baptized into Christ must ourselves be the garments that we spread before him. Now that the crimson stains of our sins have been washed away in the saving waters of baptism and we have become white as pure wool, let us present the conqueror of death, not with mere branches of palms but with the real rewards of his victory. Let our souls take the place of the welcoming branches as we join today in the children’s holy song: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the king of Israel.

Uniting Children with Their Mothers and Fathers in Prison

Get On The Bus is a program of the Center for Restora-tive Justice Works (CRJW), a nonprofit organization that unites children & families separated by crime and the criminal justice system. Get On The Bus was founded in 1999 by Sr. Suzanne Jabro, CSJ. This dynamic program gathers children and their caregivers or guardians from all across California and makes it possible for them to visit their respective mothers or fathers in prison on Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day. With most parents in California prisons incarcerated at facilities more than 100 miles away from their children, many families depend on Get On the Bus to keep them connected. 50% of Get On The Bus mothers and 40% of Get On The Bus fathers report that they would never see their children without Get on the Bus. Rental of buses is extremely expensive. You can make your donation to help pay for them at the parish office . Thank you!

Igreja de Santo Eduardo 13 de Abril, 2014 Missa Domingo De Ramos

BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS MISSA DOMINGO DE RAMOS

Comentário O PARADOXO DA CRUZ: A liturgia do Domingo de Ramos nos ajuda a celebrar dois acontecimentos: por um lado, a entrada de Jesus em Jerusalém, acolhido pelo povo que o aclamava com fé e com alegria; e, por outro, o início da Semana Santa, na qual Jesus realiza a salvação do mundo com o seu amor e o seu sacrifício da Cruz. Eis a razão pela qual neste domingo lemos o comovente relato da Paixão de Jesus segundo Lucas, o qual será novamente proclamado na sexta-feira santa na versão de João. Entrando em Jerusalém, Jesus é acolhido e aclamado pelo povo como Messias, “Bendito o rei, que vem em nome do Senhor! Paz no céu e glória nas alturas!”. É a confissão alegre da nossa fé. A nossa fé é sempre luz, vida, força, alegria. Aquelas pessoas conduzidas a Cristo, talvez inspiradas e mensageiras da verdadeira fé da humanidade que esperava o Messias, encontram Jesus, celebram, o aclamam com ramos de palmeira. Jesus gosta desta acolhida e desta fé, ele mesmo decidiu entrar em Jerusalém não mais a pé, mas montado num jumentinho. Que humildade! Ele é verdadeiramente o Salvador, o Filho de Deus, vindo ao mundo para nos trazer o amor e a misericórdia do Pai. Também nós queremos viver este dia renovando toda a nossa fé, o nosso fervor, o nosso afeto a Jesus. Mas é também um momento de contrastes. Jesus gosta da acolhida, mas sabe que a sua glória acontecerá quando for pregado numa cruz: a sua grandeza é o seu amor infinito, o que o leva a doar a vida por todos. Enquanto o povo o aclama, os inimigos se preparam para capturá-lo a fim de condená-lo à morte. Jesus sabe que vai ao encontro da sua hora, ele veio para isso! E ainda que humanamente sinta uma terrível angústia no horto das oliveiras, ele sabe invocar e cumprir a vontade do Pai, que é o verdadeiro bem para ele e para todos nós. Nesta missa de Ramos, que abre a Semana Santa, combina e muito a leitura do relato da paixão e morte do Senhor. Pois, neste relato se concentra todo o mistério do amor de Deus, do pecado do homem, da salvação que Jesus nos faz merecer. O texto da paixão do Senhor não tem necessidade de ser comentado: é o relato dos fatos através dos quais chegou a cada um de nós a Redenção. Todo o mal, que se realiza sobre a terra, de alguma forma é concentrado naqueles fatos: a violência, a sede de poder, a inveja, a traição dos amigos, a covardia, a bajulação dos poderosos, a maldade, o insulto à dignidade humana, as insinuações, a

mentira e todo tipo de maldade que as pessoas cometem, tudo parece estar presente na paixão de Jesus. O paradoxo é que esta dor, este sofrimento foi aceito e este mal foi relevado, tornou-se nas mãos de Deus o instrumento pelo qual ele nos salvou. O amor de Deus venceu este mal e o tornou redenção. Reunir, como faz a celebração de hoje, as duas atitudes da multidão que antes o aclama e depois o condena, nos faz perceber como é fácil esquecer o amor de Deus, deixar-se conduzir pelo pecado, rejeitar o Senhor. Percebemos isto nas pessoas, mas também em Pedro e nos outros apóstolos. O texto da paixão ressalta a traição de Pedro, quando Jesus anuncia durante a ceia e quando Pedro o nega por três vezes diante da serva. Se formos confrontar a traição de Pedro àquela de Judas, vemos que Pedro, depois de ter negado Jesus, caiu num pranto, Judas depois da traição, foi enforcar-se. Pedro teve confiança na misericórdia de Deus, enquanto Judas não, se desesperou. Também cada um de nós, muitas vezes, caímos na tentação, no medo, no egoísmo, no pecado, como Pedro e como Judas. Temos, porém, de seguir o exemplo de Pedro: acreditar em Deus, no seu amor infinito, na sua misericórdia sem limites. O amor de Deus, mostrado na cruz é a nossa plena, contínua e eterna salvação! Mesmo quando pecamos gravemente, e sentirmos o peso do nosso pecado, saibamos que Deus é maior do que o nosso pecado, e veio justamente para “tirar” os nossos pecados, para nos dar alegria e os frutos do seu amor. Que esta mensagem nos ajude a celebrar com profunda fé os sacramentos pascais, a viver a semana santa em união com a paixão de Cristo, fazendo nossos os mesmos sentimentos que existiram em Jesus, e implorando a graça e a força da sua morte e ressurreição para todos nós. – Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento
