PASSION The word “passion” connotes deep, focused

engagement. It also relates to passivity, interestingly.

The deeply 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.

GOOD FRIDAY COLLECTION

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support Christians in the Holy Land. Through the Good Friday Collection, you stand in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land as a witness of peace. Christians, along with all of the clergy and religious who serve in the Holy Land, will deeply appreciate your prayers and financial help! PLEASE BE GENEROUS!

Jubilee Year of Mercy Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Misericordiae Vultus: The Face of Mercy is Pope

Francis’ official decree announcing this Jubilee Year of Mercy.

But Francis had already declared that Jesus “has shown the face

of God’s mercy” back in 2013 on his first Palm Sunday as pope.

Francis described Luke’s account of Jesus’ entrance into

Jerusalem: “Crowds, celebrating, praise, blessing, peace: joy

fills the air. Jesus has awakened great hopes, especially in the

hearts of the simple, the humble, the poor, the forgotten, those

who do not matter in the eyes of the world. He understands

human sufferings . . . has bent down to heal body and soul.”

Entering Jerusalem, Jesus looks at all of us with love, Francis

continued, at our sicknesses and sins. “A beautiful scene, full of

light—the light of the love of Jesus” (Pope Francis, Palm

Sunday homily, March 24, 2013). May this Jubilee Year’s Holy

Week and Triduum make us Jesus’ own light-bearers and love-

givers to all who long to see the Face of Mercy. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Papal quotes Copyright © 2013, Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Used with permission.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Domingo de Ramos “de la Pasión del Señor”

Misericordiae Vultus: El rosto de la Misericordia es el

documento oficial (en este caso una Bula papal) anunciando

este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. Sin embargo, el Domingo

de Ramos de 2013, el Papa Francisco había anunciado que

“Jesús ha mostrado el rostro de la misericordia de Dios”. El

Papa Francisco describe la historia del Evangelio de Lucas

donde Jesús entra en Jerusalén así: “Gentío, fiesta, alabanza,

bendición, paz. Se respira un clima de alegría. Jesús ha

despertado en el corazón tantas esperanzas, sobre todo entre la

gente humilde, simple, pobre, olvidada, esa que no cuenta a los

ojos del mundo. Él ha sabido comprender las miserias humanas,

ha mostrado el rostro de misericordia de Dios y se ha inclinado

para curar el cuerpo y el alma”. El Papa Francisco sigue

diciendo que Jesús al entrar a Jerusalén mira a todos con amor

en nuestras debilidades y pecados. “Es una bella escena, llena

de luz – la luz del amor de Jesús, de su corazón –, de alegría, de

fiesta” (Papa Francisco, homilía del Domingo de Ramos, 24 de

marzo de 2013). ¡Qué la Semana Santa y Triduo Pascual de este

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos hagan portadores de la luz

de Jesús y mensajeros de amor a todos los que anhelan ver El

rostro de la Misericordia! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Citas del Papa Copyright © 2013, Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Usadas con permiso.

PASIÓN La palabra “pasión” conlleva un profundo y

determinado compromiso. Pero es interesante que también

tiene 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 última cena con los apóstoles y termina

con su entierro 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.
