Welcoming Christ the Lord Dear Parishioners of Saint Andrew: On this Palm Sunday, we join the Church throughout the world to welcome Jesus Christ as he enters the holy city of Jerusalem to accomplish our redemption. Like the first disciples we sing “Hosanna to the Son of David” to acclaim Jesus as the Messiah. We also know that this triumphal entry of Christ will culminate in the Paschal Mystery of the death and resurrection of the Lord. These are the most solemn days of the year. Holy Week is a time of grace from God when we accompany the Lord through these sacred events, not merely as spectators but as partakers for we are members of the Body of Christ. It is my hope that you will keep this week holy by your prayer, reflection and participation in the liturgies of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. The complete liturgical schedule is found in the bulletin today. There are many ways in which we can welcome Christ. First, we must be people of daily prayer who have an open heart to reflect on God’s word in Sacred Scripture, in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament or in a quiet place at home. We also welcome Christ in those around us, beginning with our family at home. We welcome Christ in those we meet throughout the day, whether at work, school, in our neighborhoods or wherever our day takes us. In a particular way, we meet Christ in the poor and needy. Christ himself told us that whatever we do to the least of our brothers and sisters we do to Him (cf. Matthew 25, 31-46). So, when we give food to the hungry, shelter to the homeless or clothing to the naked; when we welcome the stranger, care for the sick or visit those in prison, we meet Christ Jesus himself. We also welcome Christ in one another when we gather as parishioners for Mass. Recently, I have met several people who have shared with me that over the past few months in their personal search for God they have encountered God here at Saint Andrew Parish. Some are Catholics who had been away from the practice of the faith; others are non-Catholics who have been searching for a spiritual home. It is most encouraging for me as pastor to welcome these brothers and sisters as the grace of God leads them closer to the Lord. Christian hospitality is an essential characteristic of any parish that is true to its calling. As a very large parish, it is especially important that we remember to extend a warm and genuine welcome to those with whom we pray at Mass, both the familiar faces we see every week and those whose faces we do not recognize. This is especially true on this Palm Sunday. In my own name and on behalf of all the parishioners of Saint Andrew, I welcome those who join us for today’s solemn liturgy. I invite you to consider making Saint Andrew your parish and to join us regularly for Mass. As we welcome Christ who is among us in all these ways, we pray that He will welcome us one day in the eternal Jerusalem of heaven. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family with His love! Monsignor Michael A. Souckar Bienvenido Cristo el Señor Queridos Feligreses de Saint Andrew: En este Domingo de Ramos, nos unimos a la Iglesia en todo el mundo para recibir a Jesucristo al entrar en la ciudad santa de Jerusalén para llevar a cabo nuestra redención. Como los primeros discípulos cantamos "¡Hosanna al Hijo de David" para aclamar a Jesús como el Mesías. También sabemos que la entrada triunfal de Cristo culminará en el Misterio Pascual de la muerte y resurrección del Señor. Estos son los días más solemnes del año. La Semana Santa es un tiempo de gracia de Dios al acompañar al Señor a través de estos eventos sagrados, no sólo como espectadores sino como partícipes porque somos miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo. Tengo la esperanza de que se va a mantener en esta semana santa en oración, reflexión y participará en la liturgia del Jueves Santo, Viernes Santo y la Vigilia de Pascua el Sábado Santo. El calendario litúrgico completo se encuentra en el boletín de hoy. Hay muchas maneras en las que podemos recibir a Cristo. En primer lugar, debemos ser personas de oración diaria que tienen un corazón abierto para reflexionar sobre la Palabra de Dios en la Sagrada Escritura, en adoración ante el Santísimo Sacramento o en un lugar tranquilo en casa. También damos la bienvenida a Cristo en los que nos rodean, empezando por nuestra familia en casa. Damos la bienvenida a Cristo en los que encontramos a lo largo del día, ya sea en el trabajo, la escuela, en nuestros barrios o donde nuestro día nos lleva. De modo particular, nos encontramos con Cristo en los pobres y necesitados. Cristo mismo nos dijo que todo lo que hicieron por uno de estos hermanos míos más humildes, por mi mismo lo hicieron. (cf. Mateo 25, 3146). Así que, cuando damos de comer al hambriento, refugio a las personas si hogar o ropa al desnudo; cuando le damos la bienvenida al forastero, cuidamos a los enfermos o visitamos a los encarcelados, nos encontramos con el mismo Cristo Jesús. También damos la bienvenida a Cristo entre nosotros cuando nos reunimos como feligreses para la misa. Recientemente, he conocido a varias personas que han compartido conmigo que en los últimos meses en su búsqueda personal de Dios lo han encontrado aquí en Saint Andrew. Algunos son católicos que habían estado lejos de la práctica de la fe; otros son los no católicos que han estado buscando un hogar espiritual. Es muy alentador para mí como párroco dar la bienvenida a estos hermanos y hermanas mientras la gracia de Dios los lleva más cerca al Señor. La hospitalidad cristiana es una característica esencial de cualquier parroquia que es fiel a su vocación. Como parroquia muy grande, es especialmente importante que recordemos dar una cálida y genuina bienvenida a aquellos con los que oramos en la Misa, tanto las caras conocidas que vemos todas las semanas al igual como aquellos cuyos rostros no reconocemos. Esto es especialmente cierto en este Domingo de Ramos. En mi propio nombre y en nombre de todos los feligreses de Saint Andrew, doy la bienvenida a los que se unen a nosotros para la solemne liturgia de hoy. Los invito a considerar la posibilidad de que Saint Andrew sea su parroquia y se unan a nosotros regularmente para la misa. Al dar la bienvenida a Cristo que está entre nosotros en todos estos aspectos, oramos para que Él nos de la bienvenida un día a la Jerusalén eterna del cielo. ¡Qué el Señor los siga bendiciendo a usted y su familia con su amor!

Respect Life Corner Join the Worldwide Celebration: 20th anniversary of Evangelium Vitae to be marked with prayer and study By Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life I have been invited by the Vatican to help lead a special prayer vigil in Rome on March 24 to commemorate the anniversary. Along with that, all of us at Priests for Life are urging dioceses, churches and families to join these special prayers wherever they are, on the night before the anniversary, or on the day itself.

Divine Mercy Sunday Celebration Saint Andrew Church Sunday, April12-2015 - from 3pm to 4pm ***With Deacon Julio and the Youth of Our Parish*** CELEBRACIÓN DEL DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA Iglesia de Saint Andrew DOMINGO ABRIL 12-2015 - de 3pm a 4pm ***Con el Diácono Julio y los Jóvenes de Nuestra Parroquia*** GOOD FRIDAY RESOURCES RELEASED On Good Friday, a pontifical collection is taken up in every parish in the United States. The proceeds from the collection go to support ministries and works, largely under the direction of the Franciscans, in the Holy Land. The Holy Land Franciscans have developed a resource kit for dioceses and Catholic media to promote participation in the Good Friday Collection. Resources include: a poster, an advertisement, a prayer card, a bookmark and a bulletin/pulpit announcement that can be used in either a parish or school setting. The promotional material is in Spanish and English. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of peace. Their support is a sign of Christian unity, which helps protect the Holy Places. This annual Good Friday Collection unites all Christians with the Holy Land. These funds are used to support Catholic schools, parishes and religious education in the Holy Land. The Good Friday collection also preserves the shrines for pilgrims and provides assistance, including housing and food, for the poor and needy. The Custos of the Holy Land, Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, OFM, said, “It is important that the Christians all over the world to support the Church in the Holy Land, so we can continue our work.” Last year’s Good Friday Collection provided support for the Holy Land in these ways: • Supported 29 parishes, four homes for orphans, three academic institutions • Helped keep 16 schools open for over 10,000 pre-K through grade 12 students • Provided 398 homes benefitting Christian families • Helped rehabilitate over 100 homes for Christians families in the last five years • Provided senior care facilities in Bethlehem and Nazareth • Created 1,500 jobs in the Holy Land • Preserved 74 sanctuaries and shrines from the life of Jesus and the prophets • Supported over 100 men preparing to be priests or brothers There is a “Good Friday Information” page at http://www.myfranciscan.org/good-friday-resources/ that includes additional information for print and digital transmission. You are encouraged to use the material. It is available for no charge. For more information, please contact Erin Heilman via email at [email protected] or call 410-740-5009.

Untie it and bring it here. If anyone should say to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ reply, ‘The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.’” So they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. Some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They answered them just as Jesus had told them to, and they permitted them to do it. So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come! Hosanna in the highest!” Brief commentary: Today we begin the Christian Great Week: although all “times and all seasons belong to Him,” Christians nonetheless honor this week as different, as ‘Holy’. Holy Week stands at the foundation and core of the Christian experience of salvation, but also at the foundation and core of all history, for this is the Passover of Christ’s suffering, death, burial and glorious resurrection. The celebration of Palm Sunday (‘Hosanna Sunday’ in the churches of the East) commemorates the triumphant entrance of Jesus of Nazareth through the gates of Jerusalem on the threshold of his suffering. Similarly, we welcome Christ anew through the door of our hearts, our homes, our parishes and communities. With palms (ancient symbols of victory) we hold them high joining the choir of ‘hosannas’ (“save us” in Hebrew), and bring these blessed palms into our homes to mark them as homes of believers. This Sunday too is called Passion Sunday, because as a Church we join the recital of the entire Passion narrative of a gospel. Indeed, we are included as participants in the reading, with the awareness that somehow we are all participants in the suffering of the Lord. And joining him in his Passion, we hope in his mercy to have a share in his glorious resurrection. Both the reading from Isaiah and the traditional praying of the twenty-second psalm about a righteous sufferer, applied to Jesus by the earliest Christians, allow us to understand the suffering of Jesus – as an act of total loving and redemptive self-donation – as the fulfillment of God’s saving plan for the world. The Christological hymn found in Paul’s letter to the Philippians expresses in a few words the core narrative of Jesus’ incarnation, solidarity with the human race, humility, obedient suffering and ignominious death on the cross, his resurrection and supreme exaltation as Lord “to the glory of God the Father.” It is the story of how God “who so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son…” It is the proclamation of the Christian gospel of the redemptive and victorious love of Jesus Christ. By his entrance on a donkey through Jerusalem’s eastern gate, Jesus was associating himself with the prophetic description of the Messiah’s humble coming found in the book of the prophet Zechariah. When Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, surrounded by the crowds including the poor, outcasts, sinners, and infirmed, he reminds the rulers of what they should be doing in service to the people. By so doing, Jesus was also showing that his version of ‘messiah’ was not as a politico-military ruler, but as the humble servant of the Lord and compassionate savior of the people. Such as entrance was therefore both inspiring and highly provocative, and thus set into motion the process of those opposed to him which would lead to his death. Today’s reading offers significant messages: • Holy Week is the heart of the Christian calendar, because the Passover of the Lord Jesus is the hallmark of the mission and the heart of the Christian experience of salvation. • Holy Week is also our Passover when Christians, joined to Jesus’ death and resurrection, recall our own passage from death to life and new birth as God’s people. • Palm Sunday calls us to “open wide the doors of our hearts, and homes, and lives, to Jesus Christ.” It reminds the Church to extend Jesus’ mission to the poor, the outcast, and the sinner, the suffering; for Jesus Christ is the servant of the God and savior of the people. For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings. • What does Holy Week represent to me? What does it call me to? • How have I experienced the saving grace of death to sin and new life in Jesus Christ? • How am I involved in the Church’s mission to the poor, the outcast, the sinner, the suffering in my local community and in the world?

Desatadlo y traedlo. Y si alguien os pregunta por qué lo hacéis, contestadle: “El Señor lo necesita y lo devolverá pronto.” Fueron y encontraron el borrico en la calle, atado a una puerta, y lo soltaron. Algunos de los presentes les preguntaron: “¿Por qué tenéis que desatar el borrico?” Ellos les contestaron como había dicho Jesús; y se lo permitieron. Llevaron el borrico, le echaron encima sus mantos, y Jesús se montó. Muchos alfombraron el camino con sus mantos, otros con ramas cortadas en el campo. Los que iban delante y detrás gritaban: “Hosanna, bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor. Bendito el reino que llega, el de nuestro padre David. ¡Hosanna en el cielo!” Comentario breve: Hoy comenzamos la Gran Semana cristiana: aunque “todos los tiempos pertenecen a El,” los cristianos aun honran esta semana como diferente, como ‘Santa’. La Semana Santa esta en la fundación y centro de la experiencia cristiana de salvación, pero también en la fundación y centro de toda historia, porque esta es la Pascua del sufrimiento, muerte, entierro y gloriosa resurrección de Cristo. La cele bración del Domingo de Ramos (‘Domingo de Hosana’ en las iglesias del Oriente) conmemora la triunfante entrada de Jesús de Nazaret por el portón de Jerusalén en la víspera de su pasión. Igualmente, recibimos a Cristo nuevamente por las puertas de nuestros corazones, hogares, parroquias y comunidades. Con palmas (antiguo símbolo de victoria) las levantamos uniéndolas al coro de ‘hosannas’ (“sálvanos” en Hebreo), y traemos estas palmas benditas a nuestros hogares para marcarlos como hogares de creyentes. Este domingo también se nombra como Domingo de la Pasión, porque como Iglesia recitamos unidamente el narrado completo de la Pasión de un evangelio. Ciertamente, nos incluimos como participantes en la lectura, con el conocimiento que de alguna manera somos todos participantes en el sufrimiento del Señor. Y uniéndonos a el en su pasión, esperamos recibir de su misericordia el poder compartir en su gloriosa resurrección. Ambas lecturas, de Isaías y de la oración tradicional del salmo veintidós sobre un justo sufriente, que fue aplicado a Jesús por los primeros cristianos, nos permiten comprender el sufrimiento de Jesús – como un acto de total autodonación amorosa y redentora – como el cumplimiento del plan de salvación de Dios para el mundo. El himno cristológico encontrado en la carta de Pablo a los Filipenses expresa en pocas palabras el centro del narrado de la encarnación de Jesús, su solidaridad con la raza humana, su humildad, obediente sufrimiento y muerte ignominiosa en cruz, su resurrección y suprema exaltación como Señor “para la gloria de Dios Padre.” Es el relato de cómo Dios “tanto amo el mundo que entrego a su Hijo único…” Es la proclamación de la buena nueva cristiana del redentor y victorioso amor de Jesucristo. Por su entrada en borrico por el portón al Este de Jerusalén, Jesús se asocio con la descripción profética de la venida humilde del Mesías predicha en el libro del profeta Zacarías. Cuando Jesús llega a Jerusalén, rodeado por la multitud que incluía los pobres, los marginados, pecadores, los enfermos, les recuerda a los jefes de lo ellos debían de estar haciendo para servir al pueblo. Por actuando así, Jesús enseñaba de que su versión de ‘mesías’ no era de un poderoso político-militar, sino del ‘siervo humilde del Yahvé’ y salvador compasivo del pueblo. Tal entrada fue entonces cambamente inspiradora y grandemente provocadora, y así puso en camino el proceso de los que lo oponían y que llevaría a su muerte. La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes: • La Semana Santa es el corazón del calendario cristiano, porque la Pascua del Señor Jesús es el centro de su misión y el corazón de la experiencia cristiana de salvación. • La Semana Santa es también nuestra Pascua cuando los cristianos, unidos a la muerte y resurrección de Jesús, reviven su propio paso de la muerte a la vida, y renacimiento como pueblo de Dios. • El Domingo de Ramos nos llama a “abrir de par a par las puertas de nuestros corazones, hogares, y vidas a Jesucristo.” Le recuerda a la Iglesia de extender la misión de Jesús a los pobres, marginados, pecadores, a los que sufren; porque Jesucristo es el siervo de Dios y salvador del pueblo. Para la reflexión personal o comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos. • ¿Qué representa la Semana Santa para mi? ¿A que me llama la Semana Santa? • ¿Cómo he experimentado la gracia salvadora de muerte al pecado y vida nueva en Jesucristo? • ¿Cómo estoy involucrado en la misión de la Iglesia hacia el pobre, marginado, pecador, y el que sufre en mi comunidad local y en el mundo? • ¿Qué puedo, con familia y parroquia, hacer para preparar como cristianos para la festividad de la Natividad del Señor para que su autentica celebración me transforme y a nuestro mundo? • ¿Cómo vivo en gozo y esperanza expectativa del reino de Dios que viene? ¿Avanzo con mis acciones, mi fe, esperanza, caridad, compasión, justicia y misericordia activa la venida del Señor en gloria?

Jesus used his authority to empty himself for all people, especially those undeserving of his mercy. We are called to use our authority to show mercy too. Whether suffering is self-inflicted or caused by factors beyond someone’s control, Jesus calls us to heal and serve. Imagine how our Blessed Mother felt watching Jesus’ passion. Like Mary, many families feel powerless as they watch their loved ones suffer addictions to drugs and alcohol – paths that often lead to death. We can bring healing to addicts rejected by a society that often views their suffering as self-inflicted. Catholic Charities’ St. Luke’s Center is the only atholic drug treatment facility in South Florida. Each day 30 people get the opportunity to enter Recovery at this special place.

Sunday by Sunday Domingo a Domingo PROPHETIC ANOINTING UNCIÓN PROFÉTICA The solemnity of today’s readings invites us into silent contemplation of the mystery of our redemption. There are so many levels on which to understand the events of the Passion. The woman who anoints Jesus acts prophetically in a way that the other disciples do not yet grasp. Anointing is for priests, prophets, and kings, and also for the preparation of the dead. It is for healing and for holiness. Her action acknowledges the imminent events of the passion and death of the Lord, and points toward his resurrection and triumph over evil and death. He is priest and victim, prophet and God, King and Lord. All these things are acknowledged in her prophetic anointing. La solemnidad de las lecturas de hoy nos invita a una contemplación silenciosa del misterio de nuestra redención. Hay tantas maneras de comprender los sucesos de la Pasión. La mujer que unge a Jesús se comporta proféticamente y de un modo que los otros discípulos aún no comprenden. La unción es para los sacerdotes, los profetas y los reyes, y también para la preparación de los muertos. Es para la sanación y la santidad. Su acción reconoce los sucesos de la pasión y la muerte del Señor que se avecinan, y señala hacia la resurrección y el triunfo sobre el mal y la muerte. Jesús es sacerdote y víctima, profeta y Dios, Rey y Señor. Todas estas cosas se hacen explícitas en su unción profética. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
