Dear friends,
As priest and presider my role in the reading of the Passion of the Lord is that of Jesus, but for most of my life I have been in
the role of the crowd. I have always found it so difficult to cry out “Crucify Him!”
I don’t want to acknowledge that by choosing sin, I am indeed choosing death…the death of the Lord. However, each of us
must acknowledge this if we are to receive the redemption which comes to us from His death on the Cross. Only when we
have acknowledged our own sinfulness and culpability are we open to the saving grace of His mercy. We cry out, no matter
how much we love the Lord, no matter how earnestly we seek His mercy, because we have been there among that crowd.
Today marks the beginning of the most holy week in the life of the Church. The Triduum, the 3 days in which we recollect
the Passion, Death, and Resurrection and celebrate anew the Paschal Mystery, are the most important days of our year.
Come join us for the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, for the Passion of the Lord on Good Friday, and the
Vigil Mass of Easter on Holy Saturday.
Each of these is unique in its own way. On Holy Thursday, we have the Washing of the Feet and the Reception of the Holy
Oils which were blessed by the Bishop at the Chrism Mass on Tuesday at the co-Cathedral and we conclude with Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament in its place of repose. On Good Friday, we have the Reading of the Passion of the Lord according
to John, the Solemn Intercessions, and Adoration of the Cross. The fact that the Vigil Mass of Easter starts with a bonfire
should be a clue that this is a celebration of the Mass like no other.
May your Holy Week be truly holy.

St. Pius V Catholic Church April 9, 2017
Queridos amigos,
Como sacerdote y presidente mi papel en leer la Pasión del Señor es el de Jesús, pero durante la mayor parte de mi
vida he estado en el papel de la multitud. Siempre me ha parecido tan difícil gritar "¡Crucifícalo!" No quiero reco-
nocer que al escoger el pecado, de hecho estoy escogiendo la muerte ... la muerte del Señor. Sin embargo, cada
uno de nosotros debe reconocer esto si vamos a recibir la redención que viene a nosotros desde Su muerte en la
Cruz. Sólo cuando hemos reconocido nuestra propia pecaminosidad y culpabilidad estamos abiertos a la gracia
salvadora de Su misericordia. Gritamos, no importa cuánto amemos al Señor, no importa cuán fervientemente bus-
camos su misericordia, porque hemos estado allí entre esa multitud.
Hoy marca el comienzo de la semana más santa de la vida de la Iglesia. El Triduo, los 3 días en que recordamos la
Pasión, la Muerte y la Resurrección y celebramos de nuevo el Misterio Pascual, son los días más importantes de
nuestro año. Venid a la Misa de la Cena del Señor el Jueves Santo, la Pasión del Señor el Viernes Santo y la Misa
Vigilia de la Pascua en el Sábado Santo.
Cada uno de ellos es único a su propia manera. El Jueves Santo, tenemos el Lavado de los Pies y la Recepción de
los Oleos Santos que estuvieron bendecidos por el Obispo en la Misa Crismal el martes en la co-Catedral y con-
cluimos con la Adoración al Santísimo en su lugar de reposo. El Viernes Santo tenemos la Pasión del Señor según
Juan, las Solemnes Intercesiones y Adoración a la Cruz. El hecho de que la Misa Vigilia de la Pascua comience
con una hoguera debe ser una pista de que ésta es una celebración de la Misa como ninguna otra.
Que tu Semana Santa sea verdaderamente santa.
Fr. Joe

Living Our Faith from the Office of Parish Social Ministry Branches of Palm and a variety of other local trees are a symbol of victory and hope, as well as of new life. Jesus was treated that
way when he entered Jerusalem but in a couple of days, the same people cried for him to be crucified. They discovered that their
expectation of being liberated from Roman rule did not happen, instead they are told by Jesus to carry their own Cross. When He
carried his own Cross and called us to do the same, he truly liberated us from sin and death, but not from the Romans.
It is the end of Lent 2017. Has my Lenten sacrifice prepared me to carry my Cross? Has it led me to discover my giftedness, hope,
and led me to the resolution to be a true disciple of Christ. Am I now truly able and willing to feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
house those seeking shelter from oppression and poverty? Are we now able to see past our own need or are we still holding God to
our expectations?
We are in need of helpers in the Food Pantry. Several of our regular volunteers are not able to be here for the near future, Can you
come and help? We need the volunteers for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:45 to 12:45PM specially on Thursdays, April 13 and
27 (these days we need you at 9AM) Come and join us!
Viviendo nuestra fe de la Oficina del Ministerio Social Parroquial Ramas de Palma y una variedad de otros árboles locales son un símbolo de victoria y esperanza, así como de nueva vida. Jesús fue
tratado de esa manera cuando entró en Jerusalén, pero en un par de días, la misma gente clamó por él para ser crucificado. Ellos
descubrieron que su expectativa de ser liberado de la dominación romana no sucedió, sino que Jesús les dijo que llevaran su propia
Cruz. Cuando Él llevó su propia Cruz y nos llamó a hacer lo mismo, verdaderamente nos liberó del pecado y de la muerte, pero no
de los romanos.
Es el fin de la Cuaresma 2017. ¿Me ha preparado para llevar mi Cruz mi sacrificio de Cuaresma? ¿Me ha llevado a descubrir mi
talento, mi esperanza, y me llevó a la resolución de ser un verdadero discípulo de Cristo? ¿Soy ahora verdaderamente capaz y
dispuesto a alimentar a los hambrientos, a vestir a los desnudos, a alojar a aquellos que buscan refugio contra la opresión y la
pobreza? ¿Podemos ahora ver más allá de nuestra propia necesidad o seguimos manteniendo a Dios a nuestras expectativas?
Necesitamos ayudantes en la Despensa de Alimentos. Varios de nuestros voluntarios regulares no pueden estar aquí para el futuro
cercano, ¿Pueden venir a ayudarnos? Necesitamos a los voluntarios para los martes y jueves de 9:45 a 12:45 PM especialmente los
jueves, 13 y 27 de abril (estos días los necesitamos a las 9AM). ¡Ven y únete a nosotros!

Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion
At The Procession With Palms -- Gospel MT 21:1-11
When Jesus and the disciples drew near Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two
disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tethered, and a
colt with her. Untie them and bring them here to me. And if anyone should say anything to you, reply, ‘The master
has need of them.' Then he will send them at once." This happened so that what had been spoken through the
prophet might be fulfilled: Say to daughter Zion, "Behold, your king comes to you, meek and riding on an ass, and
on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden." The disciples went and did as Jesus had ordered them. They brought the
ass and the colt and laid their cloaks over them, and he sat upon them. The very large crowd spread their cloaks on
the road, while others cut branches from the trees and strewed them on the road. The crowds preceding him and
those following kept crying out and saying: "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is the he who comes in the
name of the Lord; hosanna in the highest." And when he entered Jerusalem the whole city was shaken and asked,
"Who is this?" And the crowds replied, “This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee."
At The Mass — First Reading IS 50:4-7
The Lord GOD has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will
rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear; and I have not rebelled, have not turned
back. I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my face I did not shield
from buffets and spitting. The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
Responsorial Psalm PS 22 R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
Second Reading PHIL 2:6-11
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather,
he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he
humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly
exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Gospel MT 26:14—27:66

Domingo de Ramos "De la pasión del Señor"
Procesión de las Palmas -- Evangelio Mt 21, 1-11
Cuando se aproximaban ya a Jerusalén, al llegar a Betfagé, junto al monte de los Olivos, envió Jesús a dos de sus discípulos,
diciéndoles: "Vayan al pueblo que ven allí enfrente; al entrar, encontrarán amarrada una burra y un burrito con ella;
desátenlos y tráiganmelos. Si alguien les pregunta algo, díganle que el Señor los necesita y enseguida los devolverá". Esto
sucedió para que se cumplieran las palabras del profeta: Díganle a la hija de Sión: He aquí que tu rey viene a ti, apacible y
montado en un burro, en un burrito, hijo de animal de yugo. Fueron, pues, los discípulos e hicieron lo que Jesús les había
encargado y trajeron consigo la burra y el burrito. Luego pusieron sobre ellos sus mantos y Jesús se sentó encima. La gente,
muy numerosa, extendía sus mantos por el camino; algunos cortaban ramas de los árboles y las tendían a su paso. Los que
iban delante de él y los que lo seguían gritaban: "¡Hosanna! ¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en nombre del
Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!" Al entrar Jesús en Jerusalén, toda la ciudad se conmovió. Unos decían: "¿Quién es éste?" Y la
gente respondía: "Éste es el profeta Jesús, de Nazaret de Galilea".
La Misa — Primera lectura Is 50, 4-7
En aquel entonces, dijo Isaías: "El Señor me ha dado una lengua experta, para que pueda confortar al abatido con palabras de
aliento. Mañana tras mañana, el Señor despierta mi oído, para que escuche yo, como discípulo. El Señor Dios me ha hecho
oír sus palabras y yo no he opuesto resistencia ni me he echado para atrás. Ofrecí la espalda a los que me golpeaban, la
mejilla a los que me tiraban de la barba. No aparté mi rostro de los insultos y salivazos. Pero el Señor me ayuda, por eso no
quedaré confundido, por eso endurecí mi rostro como roca y sé que no quedaré avergonzado".
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 21 R. Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?
Segunda Lectura Flp 2, 6-11
Cristo, siendo Dios, no consideró que debía aferrarse a las prerrogativas de su condición divina, sino que, por el contrario, se
anonadó a sí mismo, tomando la condición de siervo, y se hizo semejante a los hombres. Así, hecho uno de ellos, se humilló
a sí mismo y por obediencia aceptó incluso la muerte, y una muerte de cruz. Por eso Dios lo exaltó sobre todas las cosas y le
otorgó el nombre que está sobre todo nombre, para que, al nombre de Jesús, todos doblen la rodilla en el cielo, en la tierra y
en los abismos, y todos reconozcan públicamente que Jesucristo es el Señor, para gloria de Dios Padre.
