Now, why is this so? What is its significance? Well, the Fifth Sunday of Lent is the beginning of the two weeks of 'PASSIONTIDE' in the Church. The first week is known as Passion Week and the second week which we shall begin in seven days on Palm Sunday is known as 'HOLY WEEK'. Going through the readings of Passion Week, you'll notice the INCREASING HATRED the people had for Christ. They accused him of being a blasphemer, sorcerer, being possessed by an evil spirit and so on. The old Gospel reading for Passion Sunday (fifth Sunday of Lent) from the eighth chapter of Saint John's Gospel ends with these words: “They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.”-John 8:59. (Continued on page 2) St. Matthew Catholic Church 2 March 13, 2016 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Dear Parishioners and Friends of Saint Matthew Parish, (cont’d) According to Saint Augustine, at this moment when "Jesus hid himself," Christ in fact became invisible by virtue of His divine nature. Saint Augustine writes: He does not hide Himself in a corner of the temple, as if afraid, or running into a cottage, or turning aside behind a wall or column: but by His Divine Power making Himself invisible, He PASSED THROUGH THEIR MIDST. To help signify this mystery, Catholic statues and images are veiled with purple cloth on the evening before Passion Sunday. Jesus "hides Himself." One cross will be unveiled for Veneration (Kissing of the Crucifix) on GOOD FRIDAY. The other images and statues are unveiled until Holy Saturday. This is the moment at which the fast of Lent ends and the glory of Easter begins. This unveiling shows us that Christ has revealed himself as risen and victorious. So in Summary: The veiling of the crucifixes and statues symbolizes the fact that Christ's Divinity was hidden at the time of His Passion and death, the very essence of “Passiontide.” Msgr. John Talesfore, Pastor ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chrism Mass On Thursday, March 17th at 5:30PM, Archbishop Cordileone will celebrate the Chrism Mass at St. Mary’s Cathedral. This is a beautiful celebration of the blessing of all the oils used in sacramental service throughout the year. All the priests from the Archdiocese will be there, please note: the Blessed Sacrament will be repose after the 12:05 Mass. Msgr. John Talesfore Queridos Parroquianos y Amigos de la Parroquia de St. Matthew, EL VELO SOBRE LAS CRUCES Y ESTATUAS EN LAS ÚLTIMAS DOS SEMANAS DE CUARESMA Para aquellos que han estado asistiendo a misa con regularidad, habrán notado que a partir de hoy (Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma) los crucifijos, estatuas y otras imágenes de nuestra Iglesia han sido cubiertas con una tela de color púrpura. ¿Por qué es esto así? ¿Cuál es su significado? Bueno, el Quinto Domingo de Cuaresma es el principio de las dos semanas de 'PASSIONTIDE' en la Iglesia. La primera semana se conoce como la Semana de la Pasión y la segunda semana que vamos a empezar en siete días con el Domingo de Ramos se conoce como "SEMANA SANTA". Pasando por las lecturas de la Semana de la Pasión, te darás cuenta de como el ODIO que la gente le tenia a Cristo iba en AUMENTO. Lo acusaron de ser un blasfemo, hechicero, ser poseído por un espíritu maligno y así sucesivamente. La Antigua lectura del Evangelio de la Pasión del Señor (quinto domingo de Cuaresma) a partir del octavo capítulo del Evangelio de San Juan termina con estas palabras: "Tomaron entonces piedras para tirarle. Pero Jesús se escondió y salió del templo. "- Juan 8:59. Según San Agustín, en este momento en que "Jesús se escondió" Cristo, de hecho, se hizo invisible en virtud de su naturaleza divina. San Agustín escribe: Él no se esconde a sí mismo en una esquina del templo como si tuviera miedo, o corriendo en una casa de campo, o desviándose detrás de una pared o columna: pero por su divino poder, haciéndose invisible, EL PASÓ POR ENMEDIO DE ELLOS. Para ayudar a entender lo que significa este misterio, estatuas e imágenes católicas son cubiertos con una tela de color púrpura la noche antes del Domingo de la Pasión. Jesús "se esconde." Una cruz se descubrirá para la veneración el Viernes Santo. Las otras imágenes y estatuas se descubrirán el Sábado Santo. Este es el momento en el que termina el ayuno de Cuaresma y comienza la gloria de la Pascua. Esta revelación nos enseña que Cristo se ha revelado como resucitado y victorioso. Así que en resumen: El velo de los crucifijos y estatuas simboliza el hecho de que la Divinidad de Cristo estaba escondida en el momento de su pasión y muerte, la esencia misma de “Passiontide”.

Francis continued: “God’s face is the face of a merciful father who is always patient. Have you thought about God’s patience, the patience [God] has with each one of us? That is [God’s] mercy. [God] always has patience, patience with us . . . understands us . . . waits for us . . . does not tire of forgiving us” if we return ‘with a contrite heart” (Pope Francis, Angelus address, March 17, 2013). Parishes preparing catechumens may proclaim Jesus’ raising of Lazarus. Referring to Lazarus, and all those “raised” from the “death” of sin, Jesus defines the community’s “mission of mercy”— “Untie him and let him go” (John 11:44). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S.
