WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…

This year, we hear the Passion from the gospel of Mark. One thing unique about this reading is the emphasis on Jesus being abandoned by his disciples. First, the leaders of the disciples cannot even support Jesus in his agony in the garden: They fall asleep, three times. Then there is Judas, who seeks out the chief priests to make a deal with them, Peter, who denies Jesus three times, and the crowds who cried, “Hosanna!” a few days before, now call for him to be crucified.

What does this tell us? With friends like these, who needs enemies? No, the point is that Jesus died specifically for these people, not because they were once friends, but because they were sinners, who needed Jesus. When we find ourselves in sin, when we think that everything we do is wrong, or when we think we can’t possibly deserve to be loved by God—that is when God can help us, if we just stop hating ourselves and start loving and trusting the Lord. It is not the time to pretend we have avoided the big sins, or to brag about some of the good we may have done. Instead simply agree that you need his help. God loves sinners who know they need his forgiveness and don’t deserve it.

But maybe you have already been forgiven and wonder what’s next. Remember the ones you would not expect to support Jesus: the centurion proclaiming him Son of God, Joseph giving him a burial place, the women who followed Jesus. These were people who did not claim to be worthy, just did what they could to show their love. Ask Jesus each morning when you wake up, “What can I do for you today?” and do what you can.

[Christ Jesus] humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death,

even death on a cross. — Philippians 2:8

DOMINGO DE RAMOS “DE LA PASSION DEL SEÑOR”:

25 DE MARZO DEL 2018

CONTRASTES Los últimos días de Jesús son una experiencia de contrastes. El hombre que Isaías describe es valiente enfrentando las cachetadas y los golpes. Jesús no será deshonrado ni avergonzado. Todo lo que los sacerdotes, ancianos, soldados y amigos hacen, tiene la intención de deshonrar y avergonzar a Jesús. Pero ellos fallan. Jesús no está sin angustia o tristeza. Él conoce lo que es sentirse abandonado, así como lo manifestó en el jardín de los olivos y en la Cruz. Aun así, la carta a los filipenses insiste en que Jesús será exaltado, aunque humillado y obediente hasta la muerte. Marcos lleva tanto a Jesús como a nosotros de un lugar a otro, entre la fuerza y el temor, entre el valor y la humillación, entre la obediencia y la angustia. ¿Qué es lo que vamos a hacer de estos contrastes? —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

RECONOCMIENTO Solo un centurión, quien con las mujeres observando desde lejos, notan el último aliento de Jesús, y sabe lo que debe hacerse. Debemos entender, aún antes de la Resurrección, que “este hombre era el Hijo de Dios”. ¿Cómo lo supo el centurión? El centurión lo supo porque estaba parado viendo de frente a Jesús, observándolo, mirando hacia su cara en el momento de su muerte. Aunque se hizo todo para despojar a Jesús de su sentido de ser; nunca, nunca renunció a su total compromiso con Dios su Padre. Aún en su angustia y abandono, él clama a Dios. Nos quedamos imaginando

cómo le respondió su Padre, pero aquello que Jesús escuchara en sus últimos momentos, dejo en su rostro y en su último aliento muy claro un signo del amor de Dios que uno de sus verdugos reconoce quién era. Lo único que le queda a Jesús cuando muere es la certeza permanente del amor de su Padre. Esa es una certeza que Jesús se llevó a su tumba y a su resurrección. —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LIVING OUR FAITH

As we embark on Holy Week and Easter, all families are encouraged to attend the special ceremonies of the week. These include:

Holy Thursday: The Mass of the Last Supper, where Father Hernando will wash the feet of 12 of our youth.

Good Friday: The Passion. Our Lord is crucified and dies on the cross for our salvation. Praise God! The living Stations of the Cross will take place outdoors at 7:00 p.m. Easter Vigil: The Service of Light begins at 8:15 p.m. with the light of the Risen Christ dispelling the darkness. The Pascal Candle comes forth. During this celebration, the Holy Water is blessed. Sacraments of Initiation take place for those joining our Catholic faith.

Happy Easter! Feliz Pascua!
