Saint Brendan Catholic Church Shallotte, North Carolina Palm Sunday Of The Passion Of The Lord March 29, 2015 Holy Week Schedule Holy Thursday, April 2 3pm Good Friday, April 3 3pm Easter Vigil, April 4 8pm Easter Sunday, April 5 is the Regular Mass Schedule Reflections on the Readings Success means a lot to us. We measure success in mostly tangible, visible ways -- through achievements, bank balances, and real estate holdings. Are admiration, power, and authority meaningful criteria? Today’s readings suggest that we opt for another norm -- one that is more objective. They maintain that the proper gauge of achievement is service to others. The first reading is part of the third suffering servant song (Isaiah 50: 4-9). Spoken toward the end of Israel’s exile in Babylon, this song reveals Israel as a prophetic figure obedient to the Word of God. Many rejected this message and abused the prophet who spoke the words. Nevertheless, the prophet affirms God’s support and sees mistreatment as a measure of his dedication. Adapting a Jewish-Christian hymn, Paul sings of humanity as God intended it. Jesus put aside the privileges of divine honor and embraced a life of pain and frustration. But death did not have the last word. By emptying himself, Jesus fulfilled himself. “Whoever wishes to be first among you must be a slave of all” (Mark 10:44). The passion narrative unfolds this startling paradox. The Jewish trial establishes not guilt but dignity, yet the result is abuse. The Roman trial proclaims Jesus as King yet leads only to disgrace. Jesus seems to die alone, abandoned by even his closest followers. Yet the centurion confesses, “Truly, this man was God’s Son!” (Mark 15:39). Easter celebrates self-giving as the ultimate measure of success. Confirmation: To everyone who helped out with Confirmation last Saturday, March 21st, many thanks go out to all. The service, the food, and the hard work done by everyone involved was exceptional as always. Thank you! IMPORTANT REMINDER: There is NO Family-Centered Faith Formation in April.

Teresa coordinadora (910-200-9209) DOMINGO DE RAMOS INFORMACION Los relatos de la Pasión son en general muy parecidos en todos los Evangelistas. Pero cada evangelista tiene su originalidad y su intención particular al narrar su relato... San Lucas: en todo su Evangelio se destacan particularmente la bondad y mansedumbre de Jesús Pero estos rasgos se acentúan más en la narración de la Pasión: él quiere mostrarnos que Jesús a través de su Muerte y Resurrección otorga el perdón de todos los hombres, aunque estos sean sus enemigos... Junto al tema principal del perdón, hay otros de importancia: Jesús es un inocente condenado injustamente, y todos lo reconocen, aún sus jueces; el arrepentimiento como una actitud que dispone para recibir el perdón; la confianza en Dios Padre, y otros. Para saber acerca de preguntas sobre inmigración llamen a la Madre Rosanne al teléfono 910-616-2105. La Madre atiende todos los domingos después de la misa de las 9:30 de la mañana en las oficinas del Centro Pastoral. SEMANA DE LA PASION DEL SENOR Jueves Santo, la misa de la Ultima Cena es a las 5 de la tarde. El Viernes Santo la Pasión y Muerte de Jesús es a las 7 de la tarde El Sábado Santo es a las 8 de la tarde COMITÉ DEL FESTIVAL MEXICANO .Al comenzar la narración hay una discusión sobre quien es el más importante. Jesús contesta: Yo estoy en medio de ustedes como un sirviente ... Y así lo demuestra durante toda su Pasión: todo lo hace para servir a los demás, como un esclavo, que soporta todo en silencio, que permite que todos lo manden y desprecien, hasta entregar su Cuerpo y su Sangre como alimento, Jesús mismo dice (y lo repetimos en cada Misa) que su Cuerpo es entregado en beneficio de los hombres, y su Sangre es derramada también en beneficio de todos... y después anuncia que va a la muerte para preparar un Reino en el que sus discípulos reinaremos con Él. San Lucas relata constantemente que Jesús es la víctima inocente: Lo reconoce así Herodes, que no puede condenarlo, y entonces lo trata de loco. Lo reconoce así Poncio Pilatos, y lo dirá 3 veces a los acusadores: No encuentro culpa en este hombre ... pero lo condena a muerte. Lo reconoce así uno de los crucificados con Él (el buen ladrón): Este no ha hecho nada malo ... Lo reconoce el soldado que está al pie de la cruz: este hombre era justo. El día 27 Viernes a las 7 de la tarde nos reuniremos para ultimar y pedir responsabilidades a todos sobre su trabajo acerca del festival. Por favor no dejen de asistir a esta reunión tan importante. COMITÉ DE LA VENTA DE BOLETOS La reunión de las personas que van a vender los boletos para la comida y bebidas tienen la reunión el día 31 de Marzo a las 7 de la tarde. El financiero de la Iglesia de San Brendan, el señor Jack Semanko nos hablara del trabajo que tenemos que hacer. VOLUNTARIOS Se necesitan voluntarios para la fiesta Mexicana que se celebrara el día 2 de Mayo. Sera un dia lleno de cultura mexicana, con comida autentica, bailes regionales y el baile final de todos los asistentes. Por favor den su nombre a la Madre Teresa. Page 5
