GOOD FRIDAY
COLLECTION
Christians around the world are united in a special way during Lent, Holy Week and Easter.
Our hearts, minds and prayers are also especially aware of the Holy Land.
Our parish, once a year on Good Friday, is
called on to support Christians in the Holy
Land, Many Christians in the Holy Land depend
on the collec-tion for their lives.
As a pontifical collection requested by Pope
Francis, the annual Good Friday Collection offers a direct link for parishioners to be witnesses of peace and to help protect the Holy Places.
When you donate on Good Friday, you are supporting Christians in the Holy Land.
Franciscans and others in the Holy Land are
housing and feeding the poor, providing religious formation and education, maintaining
shrines and parishes, and conducting pastoral
ministry.
The Good Friday Collection is requested by
the Holy Father. Please be as generous as
your abundance allows.

Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di marzo
UNA RELIQUIA DELLA PASSIONE
Se dovessi scegliere
una reliquia della tua Passione,
prenderei proprio quel catino
colmo d'acqua sporca.
Girare il mondo con quel recipiente
e ad ogni piede
cingermi dell'asciugatoio
e curvarmi giù in basso,
non alzando mai la testa oltre il polpaccio
per non distinguere
i nemici dagli amici,
e lavare i piedi del vagabondo,
dell'ateo, del drogato,
del carcerato, dell'omicida,
di chi non mi saluta più,
di quel compagno per cui non prego mai,
in silenzio finché tutti abbiano capito nel mio
il tuo amore.

DOMINGO DE RAMOS DE LA PASION DEL
SEÑOR
El Evangelio de hoy nos cuenta el relato de la Pasión a partir de
lo vivido por el apóstol Marcos. Se pueden subrayar algunas
caracteristicas del Proyecto de Jesús que condicionan el
contexto de su pasión,muerte y resurrección , como
consecuencias de un proceso de vida y consagración realizado
por el hijo de Dios.
En primer lugar , se trata de la causa de los pobres y excluidos.
El origen mismo de Jesús,campesino, pobre ,galileo,nunca convenció a los poderosos y
dificilmente a muchos de su propia condición, pero quienes se fueron identificando con él
entendieron que Dios se revela a los pobres.
El segundo elemento tiene que ver con el talante profético de la predicación de Jesús. Desde sus
primeros dias en Nazareth comenzó a ser signo de contradicción y a confrontar con hechos y
palabras a las autoridades civiles y religiosas. Ahora bien, lo profético no está limitado a la
confrontación con el poder establecido, sino a un cambio en la lógica de la autoridad.
El tercer elemento es la fidelidad de Jesús al Padre. En la Cuaresma que concluimos este
miercoles se ha hecho un recorrido por el evangelio de Juan , quien en repetidas ocasiones hizo
referencia a la unidad entre Jesús y el Padre que lo envió,le encomendó una misión y con quien
se conocen mutuamente. Este es un tiempo oportuno para renovar nuestro compromiso
bautismal, que nos habilita como misioneros al servicio de la vida y nos exige ser profetas de hoy.
AVISOS PARROQUIALES
 INICIAMOS HOY LA SEMANA MAYOR DE NUESTRA FE CATOLICA , LA SEMA-
NA SANTA , TE INVITAMOS A CADA UNA DE LAS CELEBRACIONES EN CONMEMORACION A LA PASION , MUERTE Y RESURRECCION DE NUESTRO SEÑOR
JESUCRISTO. ESTAREMOS DISTRIBUYENDO LA
