PRAY FOR VOCATIONS
The best way of supporting our
New Orleans Seminarians is by
praying for them. Please pray this
week for Bryan DeVillier.
Is today “Palm Sunday” or “Passion Sunday”?
Though now known officially as Palm Sunday of
the Passion of the Lord, confusion is understandable, since before the 1969 reform of the calendar
two separate Sundays bore these titles. Passion
Sunday was a week before Palm Sunday. To add to
the confusion, the Gospel accounts of the Passion
of the Lord were not read on Passion Sunday, but
on Palm Sunday! On Passion Sunday, the cross and
statues were veiled in full purple drapes. The organ
had fallen silent at the beginning of Lent, and now
the sanctuary bells were replaced by wooden
clappers. The introit (opening chant) for the old
Mass of Passion Sunday hints at a reason for
reform: “Do me justice, O God, and fight my fight
against a faithless people” (Psalm 42). This liturgy
was laden with references to the “infidelity” of the
Jews, a theme that gave rise to inflammatory
preaching and, in some places, attacks against the
persons and property of the Jewish people. This
does not stand as a “treasure” of any sort in our
tradition. Our authentic tradition, rather, is the
ability to reflect and repent and to seek reconciliation with the Jews, our brothers and sisters in the
love and service of God.

And there is a time to die...
Y hay un tiempo para morir…
United with the families of our
deceased members, we pray for
their eternal rest, especially for Irena Olasin.
May their families find comfort as a result of our
prayer.

SUFFERING
Jesus did not come to do away with suffering or
remove it. He came to fill it with his presence.
Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
[Christ Jesus] humbled himself,
becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
— Philippians 2:8

PROPHETIC ANOINTING
The solemnity of today’s readings invites us into
silent contemplation of the mystery of our
redemption. There are so many levels on which to
understand the events of the Passion. The woman
who anoints Jesus acts prophetically in a way that
the other disciples do not yet grasp. Anointing is
for priests, prophets, and kings, and also for the
preparation of the dead. It is for healing and for
holiness. Her action acknowledges the imminent
events of the passion and death of the Lord, and
points toward his resurrection and triumph over evil
and death. He is priest and victim, prophet and
God, King and Lord. All these things are
acknowledged in her prophetic anointing.

UNCIÓN PROFÉTICA
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 proféticamente 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
santidad. 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 víctima, profeta y Dios, Rey y
Señor. Todas estas cosas se hacen explícitas en su
unción profética. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

NUESTRA LAMPARA DEL
SANTUARIO
Arderá en memoria de
Luis Armando Aldana
El Domingo de Ramos o Domingo de Ramos es
una solemnidad extraña en el calendario cristiano.
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 continuar con la celebración
de la misa, en la cual, la lectura de la Pasión tiene
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: “¡Crucifíquenlo!”
Los dos evangelios de este domingo nos
ecuerdan lo fácil que es abandonar al Señor. Los
mismos cristianos 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.

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
