PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD'S PASSION
CHRISTIAN FORMATION
WORSHIP
ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL
Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –Marriage & Family
An Invitation to Triduum
All are invited to three liturgies which help us experience what is offered us in the new Passover. Each liturgy helps us enter more deeply
into the mystery and meaning.
Triduum consist of the three Holy days that separate Lent from Easter.
Our long journey to the font culminates in the Easter Triduum. These
three days draw us into the mystery of our salvation. Whatever we are
doing these days, our prayers and liturgies can help us be open to the
graces the day offers. Each morning, we can pause to acknowledge the
meaning of the day ahead. Each night, we can give thanks.
Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion
"They began to be distressed and to say to him, one by one, Surely it is
not I?" During this dramatic scene at the Last Supper, we can picture
Judas Iscariot, the betrayer, trying to play up his innocence as long as
possible. He knew he had already betrayed Jesus, and if he joined in the
"who, me?" ritual, he was just putting on appearances. But what about
the others? The rest of the Twelve were deeply disturbed by the idea that
they might betray Jesus. As we know, however, when push came to
shove, Peter's fear of betraying Jesus was trumped by fear for his own
life. "I do not know this man about whom you are talking," he said in
order to protect himself. But notice Peter's reaction when he realized
what he'd done: "He broke down and wept."
How different was humble Peter's response from that of prideful Judas,
who acted as if he hadn't done anything wrong: "Who, me?" Both men
were unfaithful to the Lord, but only Peter immediately felt real sorrow,
what we traditionally call contrition, for his sin.
The betrayers in today's Gospel readings are not just these two men. We
also follow the crowd who hailed Jesus one day with "hosannas!" and a
week later nailed him with their angry "crucify him!" How quickly our
faith can turn fickle. For some of us, it may be easy to condemn the
crowd and Judas and Peter, thinking that we would never do such a
thing: "Who, me?" But today, let us resolve not to be so proud as to
think we are perfect disciples. Let us have the humility of Peter who
wept over his imperfections and, ultimately, repented of his sins. Only
when we acknowledge that we need God's help will we be able to hail
him and praise him as he truly deserves.©Liturgical Publications Inc
Deacon Corner (By Deacon Al): Lent is a time to get good at being a
Christian. We become a better Christian when we listen to and hear
from God. He finds a way to use us. He s able to work through us. It is
through this process that we can discover our true purpose in life. So if
we get really good at being a Christian, or at least we think we are, and
still have not found a true purpose, what do we do next? Getting really
good at being a Christian means we stop thinking about "self"all the
time. Take the focus off "self"and look for ways to be a blessing to
someone else. There is no better way to receive help and direction in
our own lives than to focus on someone else. It seems completely opposite of what the world would tell us to do or act. After all, if we do not
look out for number one, then who will? Well, that would be
God. When we focus on someone else's business, God will focus on
ours. It means planting seeds in great soil, and then simply waiting for
God to bring a harvest into your life. Lent is a good time for planting
seeds in good soil.
Worship Corner: Invitation to Communion. The priest then shows us
the Body of Christ and invites us to come to the table: “Behold the
Lamb of God....Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.” The
members of the assembly now approach the altar in procession.
Communion. As God fed our ancestors in the desert on their pilgrimage, so God gives us food for our journey. We approach the minister
who gives us the Eucharistic bread with the words “The Body of
Christ,” and we respond, “Amen.” We then go to the minister with the
cup who gives it to us with the words “The Blood of Christ,” to which
we again profess our “Amen.”
Believe Out Loud! Live Your Faith!
After-L.I.F.E.
At the top of the mountain God says, "This is my beloved son. LISTEN
to him.” This covenant, Jesus, is God’s final covenant with the people.
“Listen to him.”
We follow Jesus into the waters of baptism. We make a personal covenant with God. Lent reminds us to prepare to renew our baptismal promises at Easter. A time to reflect and renew. Do I live my life according to
the Gospels? Do I “listen to him”?
EveryWoman is an evening reading/study group on the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of each month for women of all ages exploring ways and words of
wisdom. Call Eileen Brown at Ext. 1113 for more information.

your sons and daughters in the family of the Church.
May your grace and love help our families in every part of the world be united in
one another in fidelity to the Gospel.
May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid of your Holy Spirit, guide all

and to always seek your truth and live in your love.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen Jesus, Mary and Joseph Pray for us!

LIBRERÍA PADRE RICARDO SEIDEL
Recepción de la Vigilia Pascual—Le pedimos a los feligreses que
traigan bocadillos a nuestra Recepción de la Gran Vigilia Pascual.
¡Celebremos a nuestros miembros recién bautizados y confirmados al
presentarse a la Mesa del Señor por primera vez!
Es la época de la Cesta Pascual. Muchos se enfrentanán a una
cesta de Pascua vacía y una canasta de alimentos vacía. Juéves Santo y el Domingo de Pascua son celebraciones especiales
donde nuestra Cesta Pascual de la Iglesia St. Augustine puede
ser el carro de la compra lleno de alimentos para los necesitados. Llenemos el carro y ayudemos a nuestra despensa de
comida para que sirvan a muchos durante la temporada de
Pascua.

REFLEXIONES
Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor
Llegamos a la Semana Santa. O Semana Mayor, como muchos le
llamamos a este tiempo del año litúrgico tan especial, ya que es
el culmen de nuestra vida de fe. En este domingo, como durante
el Triduo Pascual, la liturgia nos invita a vivir rituales diferentes
de lo que habitualmente hacemos durante el año. Por lo tanto, es
necesario prestar atención especial para que no se nos haga
rutina. Conviene que revisemos con cuidado esmerado las
lecturas, símbolos y especialmente la liturgia del Triduo Pascual.
Los catecúmenos deben de estar preparados para que, con entusiasmo, participen de la celebración desde la bendición de los
ramos hasta la Vigilia Pascual.
Con nuestros cantos de júbilo del hosanna, que literalmente
significa "sálvanos", y el Kyrios, cuyo significado es "Señor",
damos inicio a la entrada triunfante del Señor a Jerusalén.
Él entra humildemente montado en un burrito, según nos dice la
Escritura, pues llega buscando la paz. Imagínate tú mismo entre
la gente de ese día, agitando las palmas y lleno de gozo por haber
visto al Mesías. ¿Cuáles son sus esperanzas del Mesías al llegar a
Jerusalén? ¿Qué haremos esta Semana Santa para acompañar al
Señor? Dios viene a nosotros humildemente, sin forzarnos,
enseñándonos que su amor es sin medida. La victoria triunfante
de Jesús en la cruz es muestra de humildad, no de poder. Sin
duda alguna, el Reino que Jesús nos ofrece por medio de la cruz
es distinto al que nosotros muchas veces deseamos. Al acompañar a Jesús en este Domingo de Ramos palparemos algo nuevo:
Dios y su Reino se nos han acercado.
