SENIOR MINISTRY
The Senior Ministry con nues to evolve in our eﬀorts to be of assistance to our senior community.
And as part of this process, we told you of our associa on with the Senior Outreach Services, a division of the Sanford Center of Aging at UNR. This has proven to be very helpful to those who have
a ended the lecture series. This year the scope of services oﬀered by SOS has expanded greatly
and includes a resource pla orm for most any assistance or service a senior may need. Hence, as
this service provides many of the goals of our month Lunch and Learn, we are suspending them
eﬀec ve immediately. In turn we will be u lizing the funds budgeted for new programs. These addi ons to our agenda will not impact our ongoing/established services.
Remember, we are always looking for volunteers for the Thri shop and our other ac vi es. If your

please call Stephanie at 775-338-5557 for addi onal informa on.

UNCION PROFETICA
La solemnidad de las lecturas de hoy nos invita a una contemplación silenciosa del misterio de nuestra redención. Hay tantas maneras de comprender los sucesos de la Pasión. La mujer que unge a Jesús se comporta profé camente y de un modo que los
otros discípulos aún no comprenden. La unción es para los sacerdotes, los profetas y
los reyes, y también para la preparación de los muertos. Es para la sanación y la san dad. Su acción reconoce los sucesos de la pasión y la muerte del Señor que se avecinan, y señala hacia la resurrección y el triunfo sobre el mal y la muerte. Jesús es sacerdote y víc ma, profeta y Dios, Rey y Señor. Todas estas cosas se hacen explícitas en su
unción profé ca.

TRADICIONES
DE
NUESTRA FE
El Domingo de Ramos o Domingo de Ramos es una solemnidad extraña en el calendario cris ano. Al conmemorar la entrada triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén, la Iglesia nos recuerda lo fácil que es darle la espalda a Jesús. Las misas de este domingo, cuando se
celebran de acuerdo a las normas, comienzan en la calle, fuera del templo, en el mundo. Allí se proclama el Evangelio de la entrada a Jerusalén, se bendicen los ramos o
palmas, luego, con cantos alegres y llenos de hosannas los fieles entran al templo para
con nuar con la celebración de la misa, en la cual, la lectura de la Pasión ene un lugar
prominente.
La lectura de la Pasión está dividida entre el narrador, Jesús, los personajes de la Pasión y el pueblo. De nuevo, si la misa se celebra propiamente, desde sus bancas, los
fieles proclaman las palabras del pueblo, gritando: "¡Cruci quenlo!"
Los dos evangelios de este domingo nos recuerdan lo fácil que es abandonar al Señor.
Los mismos cris anos que afuera del Templo le cantaban hosanna piden su muerte
dentro del Templo. Los mismos que en la calle le celebraban con ramos, lo coronan con
espinas en el santuario.

Oración por nuestro Sínodo Diocesano
Padre nuestro, Tú nos has llamado por nuestro bautismo a ser
fieles miembros de tu Iglesia.
Envía el Espíritu Santo a guiar nuestro trabajo del Segundo Sínodo de la
Diócesis de Reno.
Inspíranos a traer nueva vida a la misión de tu Iglesia aquí en el norte de Nevada.
Por medio del trabajo de nuestro Sínodo ayúdanos a ir a donde el Espíritu Santo nos conduzca,
que podamos ser instrumentos de
esperanza para el mundo anunciando la Buena Nueva a toda la gente. Con el ejemplo y ayuda
de María nuestra Madre quien se reunió con los discípulos en el Cenáculo,
ayúdanos a escuchar la llamada del Espíritu Santo.
Ven, Espíritu Santo llena los corazones de tus fieles y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor.
Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo nuestro Señor. Amen
