Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
March 29, 2015
Christ Jesus humbled himself becoming obedient to
the point of death, even death on a cross.
— Philippians 2:8
PROPHETIC ANOINTING
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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Is today “Palm Sunday” or “Passion Sunday”?
Though now known officially as Palm Sunday of the
Passion of the Lord, confusion is understandable,
since before the 1969 reform of the calendar two
separate Sundays bore these titles. Passion Sunday
was a week before Palm Sunday. To add to the
confusion, the Gospel accounts of the Passion of
the Lord were not read on Passion Sunday, but on
Palm Sunday! On Passion Sunday, the cross and
statues were veiled in full purple drapes. The organ
had fallen silent at the beginning of Lent, and now
the sanctuary bells were replaced by wooden
clappers. The introit (opening chant) for the old
Mass of Passion Sunday hints at a reason for
reform: “Do me justice, O God, and fight my fight
against a faithless people” (Psalm 42). This liturgy
was laden with references to the “infidelity” of the
Jews, a theme that gave rise to inflammatory
preaching and, in some places, attacks against the
persons and property of the Jewish people. This
does not stand as a “treasure” of any sort in our
tradition. Our authentic tradition, rather, is the ability
to reflect and repent and to seek reconciliation with
the Jews, our brothers and sisters in the love and
service of God. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
SUFFERING
Jesus did not come to do away with suffering or
remove it. He came to fill it with his presence.

Domingo de Ramos “de la Pasión del Señor
Domingo de Ramos “de la Pasión del Señor
29 de marzo de 2015
Cristo se humilló a sí mismo, y por
obendiencia aceptó incluso la muerte, y una
muerte de cruz — Filipenses 2:8
UNCIÓN PROFÉTICA
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.
SUFRIMIENTO
Jesús no vino a eliminar el sufrimiento, sino a
sufrir con nosotros. El hombre que sufre no es inútil
ni inactivo.
—Paul Claudel

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El Domingo de Ramos o Domingo de Ramos es
una solemnidad extraña en el calendario cristiano.
Al conmemorar la entrada triunfal de Jesús en
Jerusalén, la Iglesia nos recuerda lo fácil que es
darle la espalda a Jesús. Las misas de este
domingo, cuando se celebran de acuerdo a las
normas, comienzan en la calle, fuera del templo, en
el mundo. Allí se proclama el Evangelio de la
entrada a Jerusalén, se bendicen los ramos o
palmas, luego, con cantos alegres y llenos de
hosannas los fieles entran al templo para continuar
con la celebración de la misa, en la cual, la lectura
de la Pasión tiene un lugar prominente.
La lectura de la Pasión está dividida entre el
narrador, Jesús, los personajes de la Pasión y el
pueblo. De nuevo, si la misa se celebra propiamente,
desde sus bancas, los fieles proclaman las palabras
del pueblo, gritando: “¡Crucifíquenlo!”
Los dos evangelios de este domingo nos
recuerdan lo fácil que es abandonar al Señor. Los
mismos cristianos que afuera del Templo le
cantaban hosanna piden su muerte dentro del
Templo. Los mismos que en la calle le celebraban
con ramos, lo coronan con espinas en el santuario.
