This Holiest of Weeks Palm Sunday begins the week that we call "Holy" in a way that sets these days apart from all others in the year. I ask you to take some time right now to consider how spe-cial this week is and how as Catholics there is no better way to show God our gratitude and our trust in his infinite mercy. The fact that more Catholics celebrate Christmas than Easter shows that a lot of us have not really grasped who Jesus is and what he really did for us. The wood of the manger seems to mean more to us than the wood of the cross. We have bought the cultural,, consumer-packaged Jesus that has more to do with being a nice guy than being our savior. If you don't think so, look around at how Catholics you know will spend Holy Week. When schools close for Good Friday, most kids will spend it playing and not praying. What if these holy days really meant something to us? What if it cost us our life? Think for a moment about our devout Jewish friends and neighbors. Ask them what it has cost to hold to their faith. Jews are a minority in our world. They suffered terribly throughout history but most notably in the Holocaust of the 20th century. The Nazi regime made a concerted effort to virtually annihilate all Jews. By the end of World War II an estimated 6,000 Jews were put to death using the most extreme means of starvation and torture. For many Jews who survived, the Holocaust made them realize that holding fast to their faith is a matter of life and death. To preserve their faith and their identity Jews continue to observe Passover as a very important family feast of faith. For 3000 years they have gathered in homes to recall how God saved them from slavery and gave them their own land. At each passover God solidi-fies their identity as his people and renews his covenant. At the beginning of their Passover meal the youngest asks this question: Why is this night different from all other nights? Thus begins the retelling of the great exodus story which gave a rebirth to the people of Israel. For Jews this is the narrative that reminds them of how God still pre-serves them and gives them a new life. For Christians, our rebirth began at baptism when we re-lived the Passover of Jesus: his passing over from death on the cross to his new risen life. Jesus gave us our new identity as persons and as a community when he became our sacrificial lamb,

whose blood saved us from eternal death. Hopefully we heard this said in church, in homilies and textbooks: that to celebrate the Eucharist is to relive those moments in history when Jesus, after breaking bread with his disci-ples, gave himself up to death and was raised from the dead for us. The Church tells us that what our Sunday Mass is to each week as its high point, so the Sacred Triduum - the litur-gy of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter - is to the whole year as its apex, its finest and fullest expression of worship and belief. So, what will you be doing this week, on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter? Have you thought about joining us to honor God's truly greatest gift: the sacrifice of Jesus in loving surrender to his Father? We spend hours and hours watching TV, playing video games and surfing the internet. All we see and hear are stories of people desper-ately trying to find love and hope, or just escape from the boredom and emptiness of life. Holy week offers us infi-nitely better! Join us Holy Thursday evening at 7:30 as each of our parishes honors the Supper of the Lord, with the beautiful ritual washing of feet and the procession of the Holy Eu-charist to its place of repose. On this night we show our solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the Hispanic community (St. John's) or the Brazilian community (St. Thomas). How very sad and painful it is that some will choose not to pray with us that night because it bothers them to hear God worshipped in a language other than their own. On Good Friday, come and relive the Passion of Jesus. Venerate his cross, receive his Body, mourn his death, feel the horrid silence of his grave. Then share the splendid Easter Vigil. Be renewed with fi re and water and song and the remembrance of the greatest miracle of all time: the resurrection of Jesus, the one event that offers us a hope that nothing else in life - no money, no fame, no power on earth - can buy. This is God's most tremendous gift to us: the triumph of his Son, Jesus Christ over sin and death. We will celebrate almost 2000 years of grace and mercy in three days. What could be more important, more inspiring, more worthwhile for us and for our wounded and troubled world than to love and pray with one another, to raise our voices in one cho-rus of praise to God who in his mercy has given us eternal life! Please come! Pray, listen, sing, be fed, and put God back in the center of your life! It's your choice. God bless. Fr. JohnFr. JohnFr. JohnFr. John

Esta La Más Santa De las Semanas El Domingo de Ramos comienza la semana que llamamos "Santa" de una manera que diferencia estos días de todos los demás en el año. Le pido que tome un momento ahora mis-mo para considerar cuán especial es esta semana y cómo católicos no hay mejor manera de mostrarle a Dios nuestra gratitud y nuestra confianza en su infinita misericordia. El hecho de que más católicos celebren la Navidad que la Pas-cua muestra que muchos de nosotros no hemos comprendido realmente quién es Jesús y qué es lo que realmente hizo por nosotros. La madera del pesebre parece significar más para nosotros que la madera de la cruz. Hemos comprado el Jesús cultural empaquetado para el consumidor que tiene más que ver con ser un buen tipo que ser nuestro salvador. Si no lo crees, mira cómo los católicos que conoces pasarán la Sema-na Santa. Cuando las escuelas cierran para el Viernes Santo, la mayoría de los niños lo pasarán jugando y no orando. ¿Qué pasaría si estos días santos realmente significaran algo para nosotros? ¿Qué pasa si nos cuesta la vida? Piensa por un momento acerca de nuestros devotos amigos y vecinos judíos. Pregúnteles cuánto le ha costado mantener su fe. Los judíos son una minoría en nuestro mundo. Sufrieron terrible-mente a lo largo de la historia, pero sobre todo en el Holo-causto del siglo XX. El régimen Nazi hizo un esfuerzo con-certado para prácticamente aniquilar a todos los judíos. Al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se calcula que unos 6000 judíos fueron ejecutados utilizando los medios más extremos de inanición y tortura. Para muchos judíos que sobrevivieron, el Holocausto les hizo darse cuenta de que aferrarse a su fe es una cuestión de vida o muerte. Para preservar su fe y su identidad, los judíos continúan observando la Pascua como una fiesta familiar de fe muy importante. Durante 3000 años se han reunido en hogares para recordar cómo Dios los salvó de la esclavitud y les dio su propia tierra. En cada pascua, Dios solidifica su identidad como pueblo y renueva su pacto. Al comienzo de su comida de Pascua, el más joven hace esta pregunta: ¿Por qué esta noche es diferente de todas las otras noches? Así comienza el relato de la gran historia del éxodo que dio un renacimiento al pueblo de Israel. Para los judíos, esta es la narración que les recuerda cómo Dios aún los con-serva y les da una nueva vida. Para los cristianos, nuestro renacimiento comenzó en el bau-tismo cuando revivimos la Pascua de Jesús: su paso de la muerte en la cruz a su nueva vida resucitada. Jesús nos dio nuestra nueva identidad como personas y como comunidad cuando se convirtió en nuestro cordero sacrificado, cuya sangre nos salvó de la muerte eterna. Ojala oigamos esto en

la iglesia, en homilías y libros de texto: que celebrar la Euca-ristía es revivir esos momentos en la historia cuando Jesús, después de partir el pan con sus discípulos, se entregó a la muerte y resucitó de entre los muertos. La Iglesia nos dice que nuestra misa dominical es cada se-mana como su punto culminante, entonces el Triduo Sagrado - la liturgia del Jueves Santo, Viernes Santo y Pascua - es para todo el año su punto culminante, su mejor y más com-pleta expresión de adoración y creencia. Entonces, ¿qué harás esta semana, el Jueves Santo, el Vier-nes Santo y la Pascua? ¿Has pensado en unirte a nosotros para honrar el verdadero y más grande regalo de Dios: el sacrificio de Jesús en amorosa entrega a su Padre? Pasamos horas y horas viendo televisión, jugando video juegos y na-vegando por internet. Todo lo que vemos y escuchamos son historias de personas que intentan desesperadamente encon-trar el amor y la esperanza, o simplemente escapar del abu-rrimiento y el vacío de la vida. ¡La semana santa nos ofrece algo infinitamente mejor! Acompáñenos el Jueves Santo a las 7:30 de la tarde, ya que cada una de nuestras parroquias rinde homenaje a la Cena del Señor, con el hermoso lavado ritual de los pies y la pro-cesión de la Sagrada Eucaristía hasta su lugar de reposo. En esta noche mostramos nuestra solidaridad con nuestros her-manos y hermanas en la comunidad hispana (San Juan Bau-tista) o la comunidad brasileña (Santo Tomas). Cuán triste y doloroso es que algunos elijan no orar con nosotros esa no-che porque les molesta escuchar adorando a Dios en un idioma que no es el suyo. El Viernes Santo, ven y revive la Pasión de Jesús. Venera su cruz, recibe su Cuerpo, llora su muerte, siente el horrendo silencio de su tumba. Entonces comparte la espléndida Vigilia Pascual. Renuévate con fuego y agua y canto y el recuerdo del milagro más grande de todos los tiempos: la resurrección de Jesús, el úni-co evento que nos ofrece la esperanza de que nada más en la vida -ni dinero, ni fama, ni poder en la tierra- puede com-prar. Este es el regalo más tremendo de Dios para nosotros: el triunfo de su Hijo, Jesucristo sobre el pecado y la muerte. Celebraremos casi 2000 años de gracia y misericordia en tres días. ¡Qué podría ser más importante, más inspirador, más valioso para nosotros y para nuestro mundo herido y atribu-lado que amar y orar el uno con el otro, elevar nuestras vo-ces en un coro de alabanza a Dios que en su misericordia nos ha dado la vida eterna! ¡Por favor venga! ¡Ora, escucha, can-ta, alimenta y vuelve a poner a Dios en el centro de tu vida! Es tu elección. Dios te bendiga. Padre JohnPadre JohnPadre JohnPadre John

A semana mais sagrada No Domingo de Ramos começa a semana que chamamos de "Santa" de uma forma que se distingue de todos os outros dias do ano. Peço-lhe que tome algum tempo agora para considerar o quão especial esta semana é e como, como católicos, não há melhor maneira de mostrar a Deus nossa gratidão e nossa confiança em sua misericórdia infinita. O fato de que os católicos celebram mais o Natal do que a Páscoa mostra que muitos de nós realmente não compreenderam quem é Jesus e o que ele realmente fez por nós. A madeira da manjedoura parece significar mais para nós do que a madeira da cruz. Nós compramos o Jesus cultural, que embalou o consumidor, que tem mais a ver com ser um cara legal do que ser nosso salvador. Se você não pensa assim, olhe em torno de como os católicos que você conhece passarão a Semana Santa. Quando as escolas fecham para a Sexta-feira Santa, a maioria das crianças vai passa-la jogando e não rezando.

E se esses dias sagrados realmente significassem algo para nós? E se isso nos custasse a nossa vida? Pense por um momento sobre nossos devotos amigos e vizinhos judeus. Pergunte-lhes o que custou manter a fé. Os judeus são uma minoria no nosso mundo. Eles sofreram terrivelmente ao longo da história, mas principalmente no Holocausto do século XX. O regime nazista fez um esforço concertado para destruir praticamente todos os judeus. No final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, cerca de 6.000 judeus foram condenados à morte usando os meios mais extremos de fome e tortura.

Para muitos judeus que sobreviveram, o Holocausto fez com que percebessem que manter a fé é uma questão de vida ou morte. Para preservar sua fé e sua identidade, os judeus continuam a observar a Páscoa como uma festa de fé familiar muito importante. Durante 3000 anos eles se reuniram em casas para recordar como Deus os salvou da escravidão e deu-lhes a sua própria terra. Em cada Páscoa, Deus solidifica sua identidade como povo e renova sua aliança.

No início da refeição da Páscoa, o mais jovem faz essa pergunta: por que essa noite é diferente de todas as outras noites? Assim, começa o relato da história do grande êxodo que deu um renascimento ao povo de Israel. Para os judeus, esta é a narrativa que os lembra de como Deus ainda os preserva e lhes dá uma nova vida.

Para os cristãos, nosso renascimento começou no batismo quando revivemos a Páscoa de Jesus: a passagem da morte na cruz para a sua nova vida ressuscitada. Jesus nos deu nossa nova identidade como pessoas e como comunidade quando ele se tornou nosso cordeiro de

sacrifício, cujo sangue nos salvou da morte eterna. Espero que escutemos isso dito na igreja, em homilias e livros didáticos: que celebrar a Eucaristia é reviver esses momentos da história quando Jesus, depois de dividir o pão com seus discípulos, entregou-se à morte e ressuscitou da morte por nós.

A Igreja nos diz o que é mais importante em cada Missa dominical, de modo que o Tríduo sagrado - a liturgia da Quinta-feira Santa, Sexta-feira Santa e Páscoa - é todo o ano a melhor expressão e a mais plena de culto e crença.

Então, o que você estará fazendo esta semana, na Quinta-feira Santa, Sexta-feira Santa e Páscoa? Você pensou em se juntar a nós para honrar o presente verdadeiramente maior de Deus: o sacrifício de Jesus na entrega amorosa ao Pai? Passamos horas e horas assistindo TV, jogando videogames e navegando na internet. Tudo o que vemos e ouvimos são histórias de pessoas que tentam desesperadamente encontrar amor e esperança, ou simplesmente escapar do tédio e do vazio da vida. A semana santa nos oferece algo infinitamente melhor!

Junte-se a nós na quinta-feira santa às 7:30, conforme cada uma de nossas paróquias honra a Ceia do Senhor, com a bela lavagem ritual dos pés e a procissão da Sagrada Eucaristia ao seu lugar de repouso. Nesta noite, mostramos a nossa solidariedade com os nossos irmãos e irmãs na comunidade hispânica (St. John's) ou a comunidade brasileira (St. Thomas). Quão triste e doloroso é que alguns escolherão não orar connosco naquela noite, porque incomoda-os de ouvir Deus adorado em uma língua diferente da sua.

Na sexta-feira santa, venha e reviva a paixão de Jesus. Venerar sua cruz, receber seu corpo, lamentar a morte, sentir o horrível silêncio de sua tumba.

Em seguida, compartilhe a esplêndida vigília da Páscoa. Seja renovado com fogo, água e canção e a lembrança do maior milagre de todos os tempos: a ressurreição de Jesus, o único evento que nos oferece uma esperança de que nada mais na vida - nem dinheiro, nem fama, sem poder na Terra - pode Comprar. Este é o presente mais tremendo de Deus para nós: o triunfo de seu Filho, Jesus Cristo sobre o pecado e a morte. Celebraremos quase 2000 anos de graça e misericórdia em três dias. O que poderia ser mais importante, mais inspirador, mais valioso para nós e para o nosso mundo ferido e problemático do que amar e orar uns com os outros, para elevar a nossa voz em um coro de louvor a Deus, que em sua misericórdia nos deu a vida eterna! Por favor venha! Ore, ouça, cante, seja alimentado e coloque Deus de volta no centro da sua vida! É a sua escolha. Deus abençoe. Pe. JohnPe. JohnPe. JohnPe. John

AVISO IMPORTANTE PARA LA SALUD Es>mada Comunidad por este medio queremos in-

formarles por parte de nuestro Cardenal Sean, que

durante esta temporada de Influencia tomemos las

precauciones necesarias; estas son las sugerencias:

**Les pedimos no tener contacto Dsico (de manos)

durante el Padre Nuestro ni en el Saludo de Paz.

**Durante este >empo de precaución, tambien les

informamos que La San-

ta Comunión se estarádistribuyendo solo bajo

una especie, el Cuerpo de Cristo.

Favor de considerar recibiendo el Cuerpo de Cristo

en la mano y no en la lengua. Asi cumplen

la instrucción de Jesus de “Tomad y comed”.

El Pueblo de la Vida, nacida de la Cruz Cuando tomó Jesús el vinagre, dijo: "Todo está cumplido". E inclinando la cabeza entregó el espíritu ». (Jn 19, 30). Y el soldado romano « le atravesó el costado con una lanza y al instante salió sangre y agua » (Jn 19, 34). Todo ha alcanzado ya su pleno cumplimiento. La « entrega del espíritu » presenta la muerte de Jesús semejante a la de cualquier otro ser humano, pero parece aludir también al « don del Espíritu », con el que nos rescata de la muerte y nos abre a una vida nueva. El hombre participa de la misma vida de Dios. Es la vida que, mediante los sacramentos de la Iglesia —de los que son símbolo la sangre y el agua manados del costado de Cristo—, se comunica continuamente a los hijos de Dios, constituidos así como pueblo de la nueva alianza. De la Cruz, fuente de vida, nace y se propaga el « pueblo de la vida ». (Ioannes Paulus PP. II, Evangelium vitae n.51)

Our weekly distribution center is well controlled, organized, and spacious, allowing us to provide effective dispersal of needed items donated by both parishes. Many people visit the center each week after our hot lunch, and all are truly grateful for your kindness and generosity. On behalf of our brothers and sisters in Christ, and the many vol-unteers who assist in the outreach program, we thank you abun-dantly! For your convenience, you may drop off donations to the St. John’s Parish Center, Monday to Friday, from 9:30to 3:30pm, OR a plastic bin marked : For Friday Outreach may be found in the left side of the foyer of the upper church.

Peabody’s 43rd WALK for HAITI GOOD FRIDAY, March 30, 2018 at 9:00AM at the outdoor track of the Peter Torigian Senior Center, 79 Central St.

Faith and Concern, Inc. supports projects in Haiti which promote life and hope now and for the future of the Haitian people. Whether providing teacher salaries, building a schoolroom, or training young women for employment, funding education is al-ways our priority. Last year $10,000. went to the Haitian Sisters for a K-12 school of 300 children. Together we make a real difference! We invite you to walk with us, pray and make a do-nation, 100% of which goes directly and entirely to the work in Haiti. We are ecumenical and non-sectarian. Having a 501C3 non-profit status, your donations are tax-deductible. For more details, see information on large table at the back of church; or call Sister Nancy at 978-530-1014.

Meet Father DeVeer−A steadfast ministry built on respect for allFather Richard “Dick” DeVeer grew up in loving family that instilled the foundational values of his ministry: respect and joy.

For more than �ve decades, Father DeVeer embraced the priest’s role to carry Christ into people’s hearts. He galvanized teens to march with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Boston. As a �re chaplain, he answered the call to serve at Ground Zero after 9/11. Recognizing the needs of the most vulnerable in Haiti, he and his parishioners created the St. Boniface Haiti Foundation to provide critical healthcare to the “poorest of the poor.”

Today, Father DeVeer is very active and remains close to the families from his previous parishes. These pivotal moments and lasting friendships demonstrate how priests like Father DeVeer stand by us when we need them most.

To help ensure that they receive necessary care and support as they live out their vocation, please give to the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust through the special Easter collection.
