PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION APRIL 13, 2014

Holy Week Choosing God

In His words and deeds, Jesus revealed that choosing God means caring for one another, showing mercy and justice, forgiving one another. In other words, choosing God means we are willing to face the same challenges Jesus faced: Sacrificing self, letting go of what we hold most dear. Jesus loved life. He did not want to die, yet he chose to die. And that decision, that choice “for God” has sent ripples through all time and space. Jesus' decision was His "yes" to God's will, His "yes" to live out, die out, and arise out of God's overwhelming love for us. Was Jesus afraid? Enough to sweat blood. Even so, Jesus chose God. Can you do less?

“It is a good and holy thought

to pray for the dead.” 2 Macabees:12

We extend our sympathy and prayers to the families and friends of Therese Bowers, Lois Kawiecki and Lucille Neuhaus.

* * *SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD* * * * On the night before he died, Jesus said, “Could you not watch one hour with me?”

Can you imagine how betrayed and abandoned Jesus must have felt, being left alone during His agony in the garden. Each of His apostles fled and left Him to face the angry mob alone. The Bible tells us His sorrow was overwhelming to the point of sweating blood.

Now, some two thousand years later, each of us has a chance to answer the same question.

Four people are needed per hour to commit to spend time with Jesus in Church. The Church will remain open from 9:00 p.m. on Holy Thursday to 8:00 p.m. on Holy Saturday.

Sign-up sheets are in the back of Church.
