WELCOME TO ST. DAVID’S PARISH
March 29th, 2015
Reflection
We begin Holy Week by recalling Jesus’
triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The Passion
reading makes us reflect on the suffering and
death of the Lord. United with Him in His agony
on the cross, may we come to share in His victory
over sin and death.
ShareLife Update

toward ShareLife so far this year. To date we have
raised over $ 32,300.00.

th

Cardinal Collins, the auxiliary bishops and the

Tenebrae
st
On Tuesday, March 31 at 7:30 pm, the St.

truly blessed to have this opportunity to listen to
some Lenten music with passion readings to “stir
the soul”. The Tenebrae responsories convey the

Domenica delle Palme – B –
Insieme ai figli di Israele, la Chiesa partecipa oggi al
trionfo profetico del Cristo, che entra nella città santa
di Gerusalemme per passare da questo mondo al
Padre. Il racconto della passione che si legge in
questa domenica presenta un’unica storia, il cui
elemento dominante è la vittoria di Dio sugli assalti
del male, che raggiunge il culmine nella passione di
nostro signore Gesù Cristo.
