PALM SUNDAY-
JESUS TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM
“I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you
will deny three times that you know me”. (Luke 22:34)
How many times have you heard someone make a dis-
paraging comment about Jesus or the Catholic faith?
How do you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a
disturbance or worst yet, because you don’t want your
friends or family to think negatively about you? Pray
for the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful
dialogue.
EPIGRAM
Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the mastery of it.
Said William Penn: “Right is right, even if everyone is
against it”.
Oh do not pray for easy lives, pray to be a stronger
person. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray
for power equal to your tasks.
Contemporary Live Stations of The Cross
Good Friday, March 25th at 6:30pm.
St. Boniface Catholic Church grounds
We invite you to join us as we follow Jesus as He carries His cross
through the sins of today’s modern world.
Our lack of concern for the hungry, the abused, the homeless,
child slavery, prejudice, the aged, the imprisoned and those who
are ill continues to crucify Christ today.
Reminder: Please bring the nail you received on Ash Wednesday with you on Good Friday.
PASSION
The word “passion” connotes deep, focused engage-
ment. It also relates to passivity, interestingly. The deep-
ly passionate person in the Gospel narrative 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 narrative 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 narratives to learn to follow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CATHOLIC FOCUS
As Catholic Christians we are called by our Lord to con-
tinue our understanding and knowledge of our Catholic
faith, the Sacred Scriptures, and our need to share our
faith with others. These areas are covered in our Catholic
Focus class every Sunday morning at 9:45 AM in the
Catholic Focus room in the Faith Formation building.
We receive our lessons for the week (on a monthly basis)
via email--to download and prepare for the lesson on the
following Sunday. The lessons are based on the Mass
Scriptures for that particular week. We have a catechist
that leads the class as we ponder and discuss how the
Scriptures encourage us to actually "LIVE AND APPLY
THEIR UNDERSTANDING TO THE MANNER IN
WHICH WE LIVE OUR LIVES". Adults of all ages are
welcome. We look forward to meeting and greeting you
as we grow in our knowledge of God's Calling in our
lives-to become the Disciples and Stewards we are
"called" to be. Please stop by and see for yourselves.
