MINISTERIO HISPANO- MARZO 29, 2015 DOMINGO DE RAMOS El Domingo de Ramos abre solemnemente la Semana Santa, con el recuerdo de las Palmas y de la pasión, de la entrada de Jesús en Jerusalén y la liturgia de la palabra que evoca la Pasión del Señor. En este día, se entrecruzan las dos tradiciones litúrgicas que han dado origen a esta celebración: la alegre, multitudinaria, festiva liturgia de la iglesia madre de la ciudad santa, que se convierte en mimesis, imitación de los que Jesús hizo en Jerusalén, y la austera memoria - anamnesis - de la pasión que marcaba la liturgia de Roma. Liturgia de Jerusalén y de Roma, juntas en nuestra celebración. Con una evocación que no puede dejar de ser actualizada. Vamos con el pensamiento a Jerusalén, subimos al Monte de los olivos para recalar en la capilla de Betfagé, que nos recuerda el gesto de Jesús, gesto profético, que entra como Rey pacífico, Mesías aclamado primero y condenado después, para cumplir en todo las profecías. Por un momento la gente revivió la esperanza de tener ya consigo, de forma abierta y sin subterfugios aquel que venía en el nombre del Señor. Al menos así lo entendieron los más sencillos, los discípulos y gente que acompañó a Jesús, como un Rey. San Lucas no habla de olivos ni palmas, sino de gente que iba alfombrando el camino con sus vestidos, como se recibe a un Rey, gente que gritaba: "Bendito el que viene como Rey en nombre del Señor. Paz en el cielo y gloria en lo alto". Palabras con una extraña evocación de las mismas que anunciaron el nacimiento del Señor en Belén a los más humildes. Jerusalén, desde el siglo IV, en el esplendor de su vida litúrgica celebraba este momento con una procesión multitudinaria. Y la cosa gustó tanto a los peregrinos que occidente dejó plasmada en esta procesión de ramos una de las más bellas celebraciones de la Semana Santa. Con la liturgia de Roma, por otro lado, entramos en la Pasión y anticipamos la proclamación del misterio, con un gran contraste entre el camino triunfante del Cristo del Domingo de Ramos y el Vía Crucis de los días santos. Sin embargo, son las últimas palabras de Jesús en el madero la nueva semilla que debe empujar el remo evangelizador de la Iglesia en el mundo. "Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu". Este es el evangelio, ahí está la nueva noticia, el contenido de la nueva evangelización. Desde una paradoja este mundo que parece tan autónomo, necesita que se le anuncie el misterio de la debilidad de nuestro Dios en la que se demuestra el culmen de su amor. Como lo anunciaron los primeros cristianos con estas narraciones largas y detallistas de la pasión de Jesús. Era el anuncio del amor de un Dios que baja con nosotros hasta el abismo de lo que no tiene sentido, del pecado y de la muerte, del absurdo grito de Jesús en su abandono y en su confianza extrema. Era un anuncio al mundo pagano tanto más realista cuanto con él se podía medir la fuerza de la Resurrección. La liturgia de las palmas anticipa en este domingo, llamado pascua florida, el triunfo de la resurrección; mientras que la lectura de la Pasión nos invita a entrar conscientemente en la Semana Santa de la Pasión gloriosa y amorosa de Cristo el Señor. AVISOS: JUEVES SANTO: Toda la Comunidad Hispana está invitada a participar de la Misa de la Última Cena del Señor, 8:00pm, posteriormente debemos quedarnos para acompañar al Señor Jesús en Oración por grupos: Niños de la Infancia Misionera, Papás de los Niños de la Infancia Misionera, Ministros de la Eucaristía, Coro Hispano, Voluntarios que ayudan a la Comunidad Hispana. VIERNES SANTO: Se invita a todos a participar de la solemne representación del VIA CRUCIS EN VIVO, a las 4:00pm, todos son bienvenidos. SABADO DE GLORIA: Se invita a participar de la Santa Misa de Resurrección. Por favor no se queden en la Cruz, en la Tumba; Resuciten con Cristo. Dios, el Mundo y tu Familia, tus Amigos te necesitan VIVO, NO MUERTO. DOMINGO DE RESURECCIÓN ALELUYA, CRISTO HA RESUCITADO
