One who is in line to confess himself feels all these things – even shame – but then, when he finishes confessing, he leaves free, great, beautiful, forgiven, [...] happy. And this is the beauty of Confession.” “Jesus is there… and He receives you with so much love.” Quotes by Pope Francis PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD STAFF OFFICE (360) 426-6134 FAX (360) 426-6231 www.saintedwardshelton.org Pastor-Fr.

PRIMERA LECTURA Isaías 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. Marcos 15, 1-39 Luego que amaneció, se reunieron los sumos sacerdotes con los ancianos, los escribas y el sanedrín en pleno, para deliberar. Ataron a Jesús, se lo llevaron y lo entregaron a Pilato. Éste le preguntó: “¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?” Él respondió: “Sí lo soy”. Los sumos sacerdotes lo acusaban de muchas cosas. Pilato le preguntó de nuevo: “¿No contestas nada? Mira de cuántas cosas te acusan”. Jesús ya no le contestó nada, de modo que Pilato estaba muy extrañado. 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. Durante la fiesta de Pascua, Pilato solía soltarles al preso que ellos pidieran. Estaba entonces en la cárcel un tal Barrabás, con los revoltosos que habían cometido un homicidio en un motín. Vino la gente y empezó a pedir el indulto de costumbre. Pilato les dijo: “¿Quieren que les suelte al rey de los judíos?” Porque sabía que los sumos sacerdotes se lo habían entregado por envidia. Pero los sumos sacerdotes incitaron a la gente para que pidieran la libertad de Barrabás. Pilato les volvió a preguntar: “¿Y qué voy a hacer con el que llaman rey de los judíos?” Ellos gritaron: “¡Crucifícalo!” Pilato les dijo: “Pues ¿qué mal ha hecho?” Ellos gritaron más fuerte: “¡Crucifícalo!” Pilato, queriendo dar gusto a la multitud, les soltó a Barrabás; y a Jesús, después de mandarlo azotar, lo entregó para que lo crucificaran. Pero el Señor me ayuda, por eso no quedaré confundido, por eso endurecí mi rostro como roca y sé que no quedaré avergonzado”. Palabra de Dios. SALMO RESPONSORIAL MARCH 28-29, 2015 Salmo 21, 8-9. 17-18a. 19-20. 23-24 R. Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? Al verme se burlan de mí, hacen visajes, menean la cabeza: “Acudió al Señor, que lo ponga a salvo; que lo libre si tanto lo quiere”. R. Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? Me acorrala una jauría de mastines, me cerca una banda de malhechores: me taladran las manos y los pies, puedo contar mis huesos. R. Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? Se reparten mi ropa, echan a suerte mi túnica. Pero tú, Señor, no te quedes lejos; fuerza mía, ven corriendo a ayudarme. R. Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? Contaré tu fama a mis hermanos, en medio de la asamblea te alabaré. Fieles del Señor, alábenlo, linaje de Jacob, glorifíquenlo, témanle, linaje de Israel. Le pusieron una corono de espinas Los soldados se lo llevaron al interior del palacio, al pretorio, y reunieron a todo el batallón. Lo vistieron con un manto de color púrpura, le pusieron una corona de espinas que habían trenzado, y comenzaron a burlarse de él, dirigiéndole este saludo: “¡Viva el rey de los judíos!” Le golpeaban la cabeza con una caña, le escupían y, doblando las rodillas, se postraban ante él. Terminadas las burlas, le quitaron aquel manto de color púrpura, le pusieron su ropa y lo sacaron para crucificarlo. Llevaron a Jesús al Gólgota Entonces forzaron a cargar la cruz a un individuo que pasaba por ahí de regreso del campo, Simón de Cirene, padre de Alejandro y de Rufo, y llevaron a Jesús al Gólgota (que quiere decir “lugar de la Calavera”). Le ofrecieron vino con mirra, pero él no lo aceptó. Lo crucificaron y se repartieron sus ropas, echando suertes para ver qué le tocaba a cada uno. Fue contado entre los malhechores Era media mañana cuando lo crucificaron. En el letrero de la acusación estaba escrito: “El rey de los judíos”. Crucificaron con él a dos bandidos, uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda. Así se cumplió la Escritura que dice: Fue contado entre los malhechores. SEGUNDA LECTURA Filipenses 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. Ha salvado a otros y a sí mismo no se puede salvar Los que pasaban por ahí lo injuriaban meneando la cabeza y gritándole: “¡Anda! Tú que destruías el templo y lo reconstruías en tres días, sálvate a ti mismo y baja de la cruz”. Los sumos sacerdotes se burlaban también de él y le decían: “Ha salvado a otros, pero a sí mismo no se puede salvar. Que el Mesías, el rey de Israel, baje ahora de la cruz, para que lo veamos y creamos”. Hasta los que estaban crucificados con él también lo insultaban. 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. Palabra de Dios. Y dando un fuerte grito, Jesús expiró Al llegar el mediodía, toda aquella tierra se quedó en tinieblas hasta las tres de la tarde. Y a las tres, Jesús gritó con voz potente: “Eloí, Eloí, ¿lemá sabactaní?” (que significa: “Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?” Algunos de los presentes, al oírlo, decían: “Miren, está llamando a Elías”. Uno corrió a empapar una esponja en vinagre, la sujetó a un Carrizo y se la acercó para que bebiera, diciendo: “Vamos a ver si viene Elías a bajarlo”. Pero Jesús, dando un fuerte grito, expiró. Intenciones del Santo Padre confiadas al Apostolado de la Oración para 2015 Universal: Para que las personas aprendan a respetar la creación y a cuidarla como don de Dios. Por la evangelización: Para que los cristianos perseguidos sientan la presencia reconfortante del Señor resucitado y la solidaridad de toda la Iglesia. Entonces el velo del templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba a abajo. El oficial romano que estaba frente a Jesús, al ver cómo había expirado, dijo: “De veras este hombre era Hijo de Dios”. Palabra del Señor. 4 PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD OUTREACH Blessing Cards Community Meals Homebound Communion REACH Shari Petri Mike Wallace Fr. Belisle Fr.
