GRADES PRE-K – 5TH

Your Attitude Must Be Christ’s We hear in sacred scripture this weekend how Christ redeemed us not by a one-time small gift, but by becoming one of us and giving His whole self even unto death on a Cross. How or what are you giving to others to be more like Christ?

Please take time as a family this week to participate in all the beautiful Liturgies being offered in our parish to help you enter into a wonderful Easter season and a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Check the bulletin for times.

There is NO Faith Formation next Sunday.

 God greatly exalted [Christ]  

and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.  

                                         — Philippians 2:9

“Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9). With these words the

Church enters the holiest of weeks, commemorating the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ. When the people of Jerusalem cried out with their “hosannas,” they were using an ancient Hebrew shout of acclamation that meant “Pray, save us.” The king to whom they were shouting eventually would save them, but in a way that would be far from what they expected. Salvation would come from the wood of the cross as Jesus hung there to bring freedom from sin and life through death, opening the gates of heaven for all who put their faith and trust in him.© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

FEAST OF FAITH The Liturgies of Holy Week Holy Week is the culmination of the liturgical year. During these holy days, the liturgy will lead us, with Jesus, to the depths and to the heights. It begins with a harsh juxtaposition, as we carry palms in remembrance of Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem and then listen to the Passion according to Matthew, as the King is handed over for crucifixion. Then, on Holy Thursday, we remember the night Jesus was handed over—the night he gave himself for us and to us, to live in our midst forever in the sacrament of his Body and Blood. On Good Friday, we touch with our hands the mystery of the Lord’s cross, the instrument of torture that has become the tree of life. Then, at the great Easter Vigil, the lighting of the paschal candle speaks to us of the triumph of light over darkness, of life over death. The resurrection of the Lord becomes a living reality in our midst as the catechumens for whom the Church has prayed throughout Lent are plunged into the mystery of Christ’s death and share in the glory of his resurrection. These are indeed holy days, the culmination of the Church’s liturgy, and an invitation to participate in the very life of Christ. Come, let us worship. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

We are making a difference by teaming up to participate in the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life.

At the event, our team will camp out overnight and take turns walking around the track to raise money and awareness to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.

Saving lives from cancer starts one team, one participant, and one dollar at a time. Our team is doing our part to make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone’s life. Please join our team or make a donation. The impact we can make together is much greater than what any of us could do alone! For information contact parishioner, Diane Geiger at dgeiger02@aol.com

This weekend, the IMMACULATE MARY QUEEN OF HEAVEN MISSIONARIES are visiting Incarnation Church. They minister to women and children who are victims of prostitution and human trafficking in the Philippines. They rescue and rehabilitate them in their center called the “HOME OF LOVE”. These women and children undergo holistic programs such as physical, psychological, spiritual rehabilitation. When they are ready, they are given livelihood training or they are sent to school upon proper evaluation. They are given all the assistance they need until such time that they are ready to be re-integrated to society to live decent lives.

Their program helps very poor children in rural areas who are in danger of being lured into prostitution. These children are sent to school to protect them from the recruiters who are targeting them.

Sr. Ma. Corazon J. Salazar will be selling religious objects made by the women and the parents of the children. CDs with original music by the sisters will also be sold to support their projects.

The IMQHM sisters are inviting you to be their mission partners in saving these souls.

Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor

17 de abril de 2011 Dios lo exaltó [a Cristo] sobre todas las cosas

y le otorgó el nombre que está sobre todo nombre. — Filipenses 2:9

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS OBSERVANCIAS Domingo: Santa Kateri Tekakwitha Lunes: Beata María de la Encarnación Martes: San León IX, Papa Miércoles: Santa Inés de Montepulciano Jueves: Jueves Santo; Triduo Pascual Viernes: Ayuno y abstinencia; San Anselmo Sábado: Vigilia Pascual; San Pedro Chanel

El martes, 19 de abril, 2011 a las 11:30am, el Obispo Lynch presidirá la MISA CRISMAL en la Catedral de St. Judas Apóstol. 5815 Fifth Avenue North, St. Petersburg. Esta es la Misa donde se bendice el Óleo de los Enfermos, Óleo de los Catecúmenos, y el Santo Crisma. Estos oleos son usados durante todo el año cuando celebramos los sacramentos. Los fieles están

invitados a participar en esta celebración diocesana tan significativa. Jueves Santo-Día de Amor y Entrega El triduo pascual comienza con la cena del Señor el Jueves día de reconciliación, memoria de la Eucaristía y pórtico de la pasión. Se celebra lo que Jesús vivió en la cena de despedida. En la Eucaristía del Jueves Santo la Iglesia revive la última cena de despedida de Jesús. Dentro de ese mismo marco, en esa hora, el arrodillarse el sacerdote ante su hermano (lavatorio de pies) da a entender mejor que ningún otro sermón que el sacerdocio es un servicio. La oficina Parroquial estará cerrada comenzando el Jueves Santo 12md, y de nuevo abrirá el lunes, 25 de abril a las 9:00am. LES DESEAMOS A USTEDES Y SUS FAMILIAS UNA FELIZ Y BENDECIDA PASCUA DE RESURRECIÓN.

Viernes Santo, es día de AYUNO y también de ABSTINENCIA. Los días de abstinencia, no se puede comer carne. Todos los Católicos desde 14 años están comprendidos bajo la ley de

abstinencia. El ayuno (una comida completa y dos comidas pequeñas, sin comer nada entre comidas) para los adultos de 21 a 59 años.

BENDICIÓN DE LOS ALIMENTOS DE PASCUA

Sábado Santo, 23 de abril tendremos la bendición de los alimentos para el Día de Pascua, a las 11:00am en la Capilla.

Oremos por todos los hermanos que están en el Rito de Iniciación Cristiana para Adultos, los cuales se han estado preparando durante todo este año y recibirán los Sacramentos el Sábado Santo en la Vigilia Pascual.

Sabías que... PALMA Del latín: -palmae- que significa palma de la mano y hoja de la palmera, que usan ya los romanos como símbolo de

victoria. Los pueblos que coinciden en asignarle altos valores a este símbolo ya que han desarrollado en torno a ella diversos ritos. Recordemos, empezando por lo más próximo, cómo es tradición entre nosotros colgar en los balcones los ramos bendecidos el Domingo de Ramos para que protegiesen la casa durante todo el año.

17 de abril de 2011 Domingo de Ramos

FIESTA DE LA FE El Salmo Responsorial

El Salmo es parte integral de la Liturgia de la Palabra y por lo tanto no debe omitirse. No es un “canto de meditación” y, como parte de la Liturgia de la Palabra, ha de cantarse o proclamarse “desde el ambón o desde un sitio oportuno” (IGMR, 61). En la naturaleza misma del Salmo está el que se cante, de hecho, son cantos que reflejan situaciones muy concretas de la vida del pueblo de Israel, no sólo de victoria, o de alabanza, sino de tristeza, abandono e incluso, de enojo. Aunque la Instrucción para el uso del Misal Romano permite que se recite, el mismo documento pide que se recite “de manera adecuada para que favorezca la meditación de la Palabra de Dios”. El canto del mismo, puede ser de dos maneras: responsorial o directa. Aun así, la Ordenación General de las Lecturas de la Misa prefiere que sea responsorial a fin de que la gente “comprenda el sentido espiritual del Salmo”. Este momento de la liturgia no es “la hora del aficionado”, sino un momento clave, precedido por el silencio, para dejar que la palabra de Dios habite en nosotros con toda su riqueza (Colosenses 3:16). —Miguel Arias, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

NUESTRA CULTURA Es una costumbre muy popular entre los pueblos hispanos trenzar y adornar las palmas del domingo de Ramos de maneras muy bellas. Con eso, el pueblo da importancia a la entrada de Jesús en Jerusalén, y al reconocimiento de su realeza.

¡HOSANNA! “¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!” (Mateo 21:9). Con estas palabras la Iglesia entra en la semana más santa cuando conmemora la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo. Cuando el pueblo de Jerusalén gritó sus “hosannas”, estaba usando un antiguo grito de aclamación hebreo que significa “sálvanos ahora”. El rey a quien se lo gritaban los salvaría, pero de una manera que sobrepasó sus expectativas. La salvación vendría del madero de la cruz del cual colgaba Jesús para traer liberación del pecado y vida por medio de la muerte, abriendo las puertas del cielo para todos los que ponen su fe y confianza en él. © Copyright, J.
