PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD
DOMINGO DE RAMOS “DE LA PASION DEL SEÑOR”
Una
Nota
del
Párroco
Triduum, The Passover of Our Lord.
The Paschal Triduum, or three days, commemorates
Jesus’ passage from death to life. Unique in the public
worship of the Church, these solemn days stand apart
from Lent and from the Easter season. Following the
tradition of the ancient world, each day begins at sundown
and ends at sundown the following day.
Since the second century, Christians celebrated the great
Easter Vigil, an event which began the night of the Holy
Saturday continuing until dawn on Eater morning. During
this Vigil, Christians commemorated salvation history,
awaited the return of Jesus, and celebrated the
resurrection of the Jesus at dawn on Easter Sunday.
I hope you have the opportunity to be part of not just this
ancient tradition, but to witness the love God had for
humanity letting his Son, Jesus Christ, die on the Cross,
so you and I might have life.
El Triduo Pascual conmemora el paso de Jesús de la
muerte a la vida. Un hecho único en el culto de la Iglesia.
Siguiendo la tradición, cada día del Triduo comienza con
el atardecer y termina con el atardecer del día siguiente.
Desde el siglo II, los cristianos celebraban ya la Vigilia
Pascual, un evento que comenzaba la noche del Sábado
continuando hasta el amanecer. Durante la Vigilia, los
cristianos recordaban la historia de salvación, esperaban
la venida de Jesús y celebraban la resurrección de Jesús el
Domingo de Pascual al amanecer.
Espero que tomes la oportunidad de ser parte no sólo de
esta tradición antigua, sino que puedas ser testigo del
amor que Dios tuvo para con la humanidad dejando a su
Hijo Jesucristo morir en la cruz, para que tú y yo
tuviéramos vida.
In Christ,
Fr. Ignacio

Second CollecƟon Announcement:
Easter Sunday, March 27th
As Pope John Paul II said, The
responsibility for the seminary
belongs to the enƟre ChrisƟan
community”. We are blessed in this
Archdiocese with over 50 men who
are responding to a call for priestly service to the people of
God in the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Though this generous giŌ
of God is a blessing for this Archdiocese, it does pose a
challenge to us. These men need both our financial support
and our prayers. Please provide a sound future for the
seminarians here in the Archdiocese of Atlanta by giving
generously to the Archdiocesan Seminarians’ CollecƟon next
weekend.
Como dijo el Papa Juan Pablo II: “La responsabilidad por el
seminario pertenece a toda la comunidad crisƟana”. Hemos
sido bendecidos en nuestra Arquidiócesis con más de 50
hombres que están respondiendo al llamado de servir en
sacerdocio al pueblo de Dios dentro de la Arquidiócesis de
Atlanta. Aunque este don generoso de Dios es una bendición
para esta Arquidiócesis, nos pone frente a un desaİo. Estos
hombres necesitan tanto nuestro apoyo financiero, como
todas nuestras oraciones. Le rogamos que, por medio de una
ofrenda abundante en la Colecta por los Seminaristas de la
próxima semana, provea de un buen futuro a los seminaristas
aquí en la Arquidiócesis de Atlanta.

Isaiah/Isaias 50:4-7
Psalms/Salmos 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24

Luke / Lucas 22:14--23:56 or 23:1-49
The readings for today’s
Mass help prepare us for
the liturgical celebrations
of the upcoming week.
In Isaiah we hear the
Suffering Servant speak
of his mission from the
“Lord God” (v.4). The
servant has received “a
well-trained tongue” in
order to speak a word to the weary “that will waken
them” (v.4). The open ear is a sign of the servant’s willing
acceptance of his vocation. But the response to the preaching
of the servant is persecution. His back is beaten, his beard is
torn out and he suffered from “insults and spitting” (v.6). But,
“The Lord God is my help…I shall not be put to shame” (v.7).
Reflecting on this text, it is easy to understand how the early
church saw this text as a prophecy of Jesus in his suffering.
Paul writes to the Philippians about Jesus’ self-emptying,
“taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness” (v.7).
Here he is talking about the Second Person of the Trinity who
“humbled himself, becoming obedient to death…on a
cross” (v.8). Unlike Adam and Eve who sought to reach beyond their limits, he “did not regard equality with God something to be grasped” (v.6). “Because of this, God greatly exalted him (v.9). We know that beyond the cross, there is an empty grave.
Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem begins the final act of his mission. Much of Luke’s gospel has taken place during “his journey up to Jerusalem” (v.28). Riding into Jerusalem on a colt,
an animal of peace, not of war, Jesus is greeted by the people
who proclaim him “the king who comes in the name of the
Lord” (v.38). But at the same time “some of the Pharisees in
the crowd” (v.39) object and call him to silence his disciples.
So the stage is set as those who acclaim Jesus and those who
reject him gather in Jerusalem for the coming feast that will
bring about the salvation of the world.
For Reflection: How does Jesus’ example of humility
serve as an example for me? How can I better participate in
the events of this upcoming Holy Week?
Reflexión de Corresponsabilidad
En la historia del Evangelio del primer Domingo de
Ramos, oímos que al dueño del burro solo había que
decirle, “El Señor lo necesita,” para dar al animal
gustosamente. ¿Estoy tan dispuesto a dar para la
obra del Señor?
Weekly Stewardship Scripture Reflections
In the Gospel story of the first Palm Sunday, we hear
that the owners of the ass had only to be told, “The
Master has need of it,” to give the animal gladly.
Do I give as readily to the Lord’s work?
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful
for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting
faults, and giving instruction for right living
(2 Timothy 3:16)
Toda Escritura está inspirada por Dios y es útil
para enseñar y reprender, para corregir y educar
en una vida de rectitud (2 Timoteo 3,16)
