Treasures From Our Tradition What day is today? Ask most folks strolling home from church today and they will reply “Palm Sunday.” Not too long ago, today was known as the “Second Sunday of the Passion,” and in 1970 it was renamed “Passion Sunday.” This made some sense, since the procession recalling Christ’s entry into Je-rusalem is usually only celebrated once in a parish on this day, but the Passion is proclaimed solemnly at every liturgy. In its most recent incarnation, the name for this day includes both aspects of the cele-bration: “Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord.” In the United States today, most worshipers are pro-vided with palm branches, although in northern Eu-rope pussy willows are favored, and in Italy olive branches are the norm. When our calendar was reformed, the entire structure of the week to come was revised even as the traditional name, “Holy Week,” was retained. The major benefit of the restructuring of our calen-dar is to help us see that the Triduum, the great three days beginning at sunset this Thursday and extend-ing until sunset on Easter Sunday, is at the heart of the Christian life. Today, as you ponder the Lord’s Passion, you may consider your response to so great a gift. Centu-ries ago, good Christians vowed to go on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Today, at least once in your lifetime, promise to participate faithfully in the liturgies. Now begins the Church’s annual baptismal re-treat: don’t be left out! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PASSION The word “passion” connotes deep, focused engagement. It also relates to passivity, interesting-ly. The deeply passionate person in the Gospel nar-rative from Luke is Jesus. He appears passive, but he is not. He is wholly self-possessed and wholly present for the one day that begins on Thursday evening at his last meal with his apostles and ends with his burial before sunset the next day. Then follows the long Sabbath silence. The narrative of the Passion is read whole and without pause on the Palm Sunday of the Passion. This story, found in each of the Gospels, is un-changing. We are the ones who change. Each year, we bring ourselves with another year’s history to hear and heed the story we so badly need. Life has its way with us, and we look again to the Passion narratives to learn to follow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced.
-- Isaiah 50:7a
