Palm Sunday / Passion Sunday
March 29, 2015
PASTOR’S CORNER
Holy Week and Easter Triduum
Holy Week is the last week of Lent. It is the week we commemorate and enact the suffering (Passion) and death of Jesus
through various observances and services of worship. While some church traditions focus specifically on the events
of the last week of Jesus’ life, many of the liturgies symbolize larger themes that marked Jesus’ entire ministry. In
Catholic tradition, the conclusion to the week is called the Easter Triduum (a triduum is a space of three days usually accompanying a church festival or holy days that are devoted to special prayer and observance).
Palm Sunday
This Sunday observes the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem that was marked by the crowds who were in Jerusalem for Passover waving palm branches and proclaiming Him as the messianic king. The Gospels tell us that Jesus rode into the city on a donkey, enacting the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, and in so doing emphasized the humility
that was to characterize the Kingdom He proclaimed. The irony of His acceptance as the new Davidic King (Mark
11:10) by the crowds who would only five days later cry for His execution should be a sobering reminder of the
human tendency to want God on our own terms. This Sunday is also known as Passion Sunday to commemorate the beginning of Holy Week and Jesus’ final agonizing journey to the cross. The English word passion comes from a Latin word that
means "to suffer," the same word from which we derive the English word patient.
Maundy Thursday/Holy Thursday
Maundy Thursday, also known as “Holy Thursday” is the Thursday of Passion Week, one day before Good Friday.
Maundy Thursday is the name given to the day on which Jesus celebrated the Passover with His disciples, known as
the Last Supper. Two important events are the focus of Maundy Thursday. First, Jesus celebrated the Last Supper
with His disciples and thereby instituted the Eucharist (Luke 22:19-20). Second, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet as
an act of humility and service, thereby setting an example that we should love and serve one another in humility
(John 13:3-17). The word “Maundy” is derived from the Latin word for “command.” The “Maundy” in Maundy Thursday refers to the command Jesus gave to the disciples at the Last Supper, that they should love and serve one another.
Good Friday
Good Friday is the Friday immediately preceding Easter Sunday. It is celebrated traditionally as the day on which
Jesus was crucified and had died. Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”? What the Jewish authorities and Romans did to Jesus was definitely not good (see Matthew chapters 26-27). However, the results of Christ’s death are
very good! Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died
for us.” Monetary offerings collected today will be sent to the Holy Land to support the needs of Christians who
struggle daily to survive in conditions marred by violence and strife and also to maintain shrines in our Lord’s place of birth,
agony, death and resurrection.
Holy Saturday
Holy Saturday is the name given to the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Some Christians recognize
this day as the seventh day of Holy Week, the day on which Jesus “rested” from His work of providing salvation for
the world. Holy Saturday is the day Jesus remained in the tomb where He had been buried following His crucifixion.
Easter Vigil
The Easter Vigil liturgy is the most beautiful liturgy in the Roman Catholic Church. Although celebrated Holy Saturday evening, it is the dramatic Easter vigil liturgy that marks the beginning of Easter. We are awaiting our master's return with our lamps full and burning, so that He will find us awake and seat us at His table (cf. Luke 12:35ff).
All Catholics should try to attend this beautiful service. It is in the Easter Vigil that we welcome adult new members to the faith in the Sacrament of Baptism and also administer the Sacraments Confirmation and Eucharist to
them. The vigil is divided into four parts: (1)Service of Light; (2)Liturgy of the Word; (3)Liturgy of Baptism; and (4) Liturgy
of the Eucharist.
God Bless You!

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations: Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of
San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their
work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests,
deacons and religious should result in a holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are
furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1
Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

SAINT OF THE DAY:
Saint Peter Regalado
Peter lived at a very busy time in history. The Great Western Schism
(1378-1417) was settled at the Council of Constance (1414-1418).
France and England were fighting the Hundred Years’ War, and in 1453
the Byzantine Empire was completely wiped out by the loss of Constantinople to the Turks. At Peter’s death, the age of printing had just begun
in Germany, and Columbus's arrival in the New World was less than 40 years
away. Peter came from a wealthy and pious family in Valladolid, Spain. At the age
of 13, he was allowed to enter the Conventual Franciscans. Shortly after his ordination, he was made superior of the friary in Aguilar. He became part of a group of
friars who wanted to lead a life of greater poverty and penance. In 1442 he was
appointed head of all the Spanish Franciscans in his reform group. Peter led the
friars by his example. A special love of the poor and the sick characterized Peter.
Miraculous stories are told about his charity to the poor. For example, the bread
never seemed to run out as long as Peter had hungry people to feed. Throughout
most of his life, Peter went hungry; he lived only on bread and water.. Immediately after his death on March 31, 1456, his grave became a place of pilgrimage.
Peter was canonized in 1746.
Domingo de Ramos
Marzo 29, 2015
Semana Santa y Triduo Pascual
Semana Santa
es la última semana de la Cuaresma. Es la semana que conmemoramos y promulgar el sufrimiento (Pasión) y la muerte de Jesús
a través de diversos ritos y servicios de adoración. Mientras que algunas tradiciones religiosas se centran especialmente en los acontecimientos de la última semana de la vida de Jesús, muchas de las liturgias simbolizan más temas
que ha marcado todo su ministerio de Jesús. De tradición católica, la conclusión de la semana se llama el Triduo Pascual (un triduo es un espacio de tres días, por lo general acompañando a un festival de iglesia o días santos, que se
dedican a oración especial y respeto).
Domingo de Ramos
Este domingo observa la entrada triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén, que se caracterizó por la multitud que estaban en
Jerusalén para la Pascua agitando las ramas de las palmeras y lo proclama como rey mesiánico. Los Evangelios nos
dicen que Jesús viajó a la ciudad por un burro, la promulgación de la profecía de Zacarías 9:9, y al hacerlo hace
enfatizar en la humildad, que fue caracterizar el reino proclamado por Él. La ironía de su aceptación como el nuevo Rey Davídico (Marcos 11:10 ) por la muchedumbre que sólo cinco días después de su ejecución debe ser un
triste recordatorio de la tendencia humana a Dios en nuestros propios términos. Este domingo también se conoce como domingo
de Pasión para conmemorar el inicio de la Semana Santa y final de Jesús agonizante viaje a la cruz. La palabra inglesa pasión
viene de una palabra latina que significa "sufrir", la misma palabra de la que derivamos la palabra inglesa paciente.
Jueves Maundy/Jueves Santo también conocido como "Maundy" (rituo religioso) es el jueves de Semana de la Pasión, un día anterior al Viernes
Santo. El jueves es el nombre que se da en el día en el que Jesús celebró la Pascua con sus discípulos, conocido como
la Última Cena. Dos acontecimientos importantes son el foco del Jueves Santo. En primer lugar, Jesús celebró la última Cena con sus discípulos y, en consecuencia, instituyó la Eucaristía (Lucas 22:19 ). En segundo lugar, Jesús lavó
los pies a los discípulos como un acto de humildad y de servicio, lo cual crea dando así un ejemplo que debemos amar
y servir uno al otro en humildad (John 13:3 ).
La palabra "Maundy" se deriva de la palabra latina para "comando." El "Maundy" en Jueves Santo se refiere a la orden
Jesús dio a sus discípulos en la Última Cena, que se debe amar y servir al otro.
Viernes Santo
Viernes Santo es el viernes inmediatamente anterior Domingo de Pascua. Tradicionalmente, se celebra como el día
en que Jesús fue crucificado y murió. ¿Por qué es bueno el viernes a que se refiere como "buena"? Lo que las autoridades judías y los romanos hicieron a Jesús definitivamente no era buena (ver Mateo capítulos 26-27). Sin embargo, los resultados de la muerte de Cristo son muy buenas! Romanos 5:8, "Pero Dios muestra su amor para con
nosotros, porque siendo aún pecadores, Cristo murió por nosotros."
Ofrendas Monetarias recogidos hoy se enviarán a la Tierra Santa, para apoyar las necesidades de los Cristianos que luchan día a
día para sobrevivir en las condiciones marcadas por la violencia y las luchas y también para mantener los santuarios del lugar de
nacimiento, agonía, muerte y la resurrección de Nuestro Señor.
Sábado Santo
Sábado Santo es el nombre dado al día entre Viernes Santo y Domingo de Pascua. Algunos cristianos reconocen
este día como el séptimo día de la Semana Santa, el día en el que Jesús "descanso" de su obra de la salvación para
el mundo. Sábado Santo es el día que Jesús permaneció en el sepulcro donde había sido enterrado después de su
crucifixión.
Vigilia Pascual,
La liturgia de la Vigilia Pascual es la más hermosa liturgia en la Iglesia Católica Romana. Aunque celebró del Sabado Santo
sábado por la noche, que es la dramatica liturgia de la vigilia de Pascua que marca el comienzo de la Pascua. Estamos a la espera de regreso de nuestro maestro con nuestras lámparas plena y ardiente, para que nos encuentre despiertos y el
asiento en Su mesa (cf. Lucas 12:35 ff). Todos los católicos deben tratar de asistir a este hermoso servicio. Es en la
Vigilia de Pascua, celebramos los adultos nuevos miembros a la fe en el Sacramento del Bautismo y también administrar los sacramentos de Confirmación y la Eucaristía. La vigilia se divide en cuatro partes: (1) Servicio de luz; 2)
Liturgia de la Palabra; (3) Liturgia del Bautismo; y (4) Liturgia de la Eucaristía.
¡Que Dios los Bendiga!

Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones:
Jesús de la coseha, mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón
semejante al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

SANTO DEL DIA: San Pedro Regalado Marzo 30, (1390-1456)
Pedro vivio en un tiempo muy ocupado en la historia. El Gran Cisma
Occidental (1378-1417) se fijó en el Concilio de Constanza (14141418). Francia e Inglaterra estaban luchando contra la Guerra de los
Cien Años, y en 1453 el Imperio Bizantino fue totalmente arrasada por
la pérdida de Constantinopla a manos de los turcos. A la muerte de
Pedro era de la imprenta sólo había comenzado en Alemania, y la llegada de Cristóbal Colón en el Nuevo Mundo fue de menos de 40 años.
Pedro, era de familia rica y piadoso en Valladolid, España. A la edad de 13 años, se
le permitía entrar a los Frailes Menores Conventuales. Poco después de su ordenación, se hizo superior del convento de Aguilar. Se convirtió en parte de un
grupo de frailes que querían llevar una vida de mayor pobreza y penitencia. En 1442
fue nombrado jefe de todos los Franciscanos españoles en su grupo de reforma.
Pedro llevó a los hermanos con su ejemplo. Un amor especial a los pobres y a los
enfermos caracteriza Pedro. Milagrosa las historias sobre su caridad con los pobres.
Por ejemplo, el pan nunca se terminaba mientras que Pedro tenia personas con hambre y en nesesida de alimentos. A lo largo de la mayor parte de su vida, Pedro pasó
con hambre; vivio sólo de pan y agua.
Inmediatamente después de su muerte el 31 de marzo de 1456, su tumba se convirtió
en lugar de peregrinación.
Pedro fue canonizado En 1746
