WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
Isaiah’s beautiful description of his vocation could serve as a call for all Christians
and people of faith: a gift from God, the willingness of people to use that gift, and the
fortitude to withstand hardship. Think in terms of your own faith life. What abilities
has God given you? How have you shared them? When have you felt tempted to turn
from them? Know that in the end, God is your help and you will not be put to shame.
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My Dear Parish Family,
.
.
.
.
It was just 9 days ago. I was standing on the hillside of the
.
Mount of Olives, looking west across the Kidron Valley and up .
.
to the (now sealed) ‘Golden Gate’ to Jerusalem – tracing the
.
.
penultimate journey of Jesus’ life as he made his triumphant
.
.
entry to the sounds of the crowd waving palm branches and
.
.
singing “Hosanna to the son of David!” And, today we com.
.
memorate that great event through this Palm Sunday liturgy.
.
.
How awesome it must have been, yet so tragic to have that tri.
umph turned into sorrow in just a few short days. Soon enough, .
.
.
Jesus would be back in the garden on the Mount of Olives,
.
praying and sweating drops of blood as his hour drew near.
.
.
Then came his last trip from the Mount of Olives, back into
.
.
Jerusalem at night, having been betrayed by a friend. Please,
.
take the opportunity this week to enter into this great drama and ..
.
pray with Jesus the liturgies of Holy Week.
.
.
.
.
When Jesus was arrested for his teachings there was not as yet
.
the Church or Christianity, merely intolerance and jealousy.
.
.
Today, problems are the same and Christians throughout the
.
world are being persecuted terribly. Two weeks ago in Yemen, ..
.
uniformed gunmen entered the Missionaries of Charity care
.
.
facility for the elderly, handcuffed four of the nuns and 12
.
others, then shot them in the head. A priest who was staying at ..
.
the facility was taken and missing since the attack.
.
.
.
Pope Francis has called the Sisters “martyrs of today” as “they .
.
gave their blood for the Church.” The Holy Father "prays that
.
.
this pointless slaughter will awaken consciences, lead to a
.
.
change of heart, and inspire all parties to lay down their arms
.
.
and take up the path of dialogue." I encourage us all to pray
.
.
likewise and do what we can do to help the Christians of the
.
.
Middle East.
.
.
.
God bless you.
.
.
.
.
Fr. Scott
.
.
.
.
.
Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan
.
.
a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the
.
.
foundation of humility.
.
.
—Saint Augustine (354-430)

EXCERPT FROM “MERCY AND TRUTH
SHALL MEET”
BISHOP DAVID M. O’CONNELL, C.M.
Mercy helps us understand the Resurrection. In the
Letter of Peter we read: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ who, according to his abundant mercy has begotten us
again to a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead (1 Peter 1: 3).” Mercy gives rise to a hope that would not be
possible had Jesus not risen from the dead.

ST. JOSEPH’S
PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimada Familia Parroquial,
Hace 9 días estuve parado en el Monte de Olivos, mirando al oeste frente al Valle
de Cidro hacia el Portón Dorado (que ahora está cerrado) recordando los últimos
pasos de la vida de Jesús, su entrada triunfante el domingo de Ramos frente a la
multitud que lo recibía con palmas, alabanza y devoción. Diciendo “Hosanna es
el Señor hijo de David”, y hoy conmemoramos ese gran evento en la historia
celebrando el Domingo de Ramos. Que bello fue ese día, aunque pocos días
después de su triunfo se convirtió en una tragedia. Jesús de nuevo esta en el
huerto, orando y sudando gotas de sangre esperando la hora del llamado de su
Padre. Después comienza su última jornada desde el Monte de Olivos hacia
Jerusalén, donde es traicionado por su amigo. Familia, les pido que en esta
semana se acerquen más a Jesús, viviendo estos momentos de Jesús a través de
oración y leyendo las liturgias de la Palabra de esta Semana Santa.
Cuando Jesús fue arrestado por sus enseñanzas todavía no existía la Iglesia o el
Cristianismo, solo había intolerancia y envidia. Hoy día tenemos los mismos
problemas al nivel mundial, la persecución a los Cristianos es terrible. Hace 2
semanas en Yemen, la milicia entro a la Misión de la Caridad, fundada para
ayudar a los ancianos; esposo a 4 monjas y a otras 12 personas, y luego le
dispararon en la cabeza. Había allí un Sacerdote misionero que fue secuestrado y
desde entonces se sabe nada de él.
El Papa Francisco ha nombrado a las religiosas “mártires de hoy” pues “dieron su
sangre por la Iglesia.” El Santo Padre está orando para que este masacre no haya
sido en vano, y que de frente al mundo y levante la conciencia de este problema,
para que los corazones de los tiranos sean convertidos por nuestro Señor. El
Santo Padre nos pide a todos que oremos por esta causa para que se acabe la
persecución de los cristianos en el Medio Oriente.
Que Dios los Bendiga,

LECTURAS:
Domingo de Ramos
Fr. Scott
Excerpta de la carta del Obispo David O’Connell
“La Misericordia y la Verdad se Reunirá”
La Misericordia nos ayuda a comprender la Resurrección.
En la carta de Pedro leemos: “Bendito sea Dios, Padre de
Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor, por su gran Misericordia. Al resucitar a
Cristo Jesús de entre los muertos, nos dio una vida nueva y una
esperanza viva (1 Peter 1: 3).” La Misericordia nos da la esperanza
que no es posible sin la Resurrección de Jesús.

PALABRA DE VIDA DE PARTE DE LOS
OBISPOS DE LOS ESTADOS UNIDOS:
Intercesiones por la Vida: Rueguen al Señor
Por los funcionarios públicos, para que Dios les
conceda la humildad, la sabiduría, y el valor para
defender cada vida humana.
Si quieres ascender, debes primero descender? Si construyes una torre para penetrar las nubes? Coloca
primero la fundación de la humildad.
—Saint Augustine (354-430)
