From the Pastor’s Desk:
29 March 2015
Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
We begin these holiest of days, commemorating the passion
of the Lord, with the solemn celebration of the Lord’s entrance
into Jerusalem. Hailed as King on that first Palm Sunday,
Jesus would triumphantly enter into the holy city of Jerusalem
accompanied by loud cries of “Hosanna.” Just days after this
procession in triumph, another procession would lead Jesus out
of Jerusalem, jeered and mocked by loud cries of “crucify Him.”
But just as the days are holy, the days are filled with irony as
well. What seems to be triumph actually proceeds the
triumphant moment of glory that the world does not recognize
in the enthronement of Jesus on the Cross. What seems to be
defeat is in reality a great victory, for God’s Will conquers sin
and death as Jesus willingly and lovingly embraces His Cross.
Holy Week is not a dramatization of the historical events
leading to Jesus’ death. Nor is it meant to be a theatrical
presentation of His Resurrection. These holy days invite us to
participate fully—spiritually and physically—in the paschal
mystery of Jesus Christ in order that we might more completely
enter into relationship with our heavenly Father, seeking to
accomplish His will as did His Son, Jesus, by His Paschal
Mystery. May we become what we celebrate, so that as
members of Christ’s Body, we who unite our lives and our
sufferings with Him will also be united with Him in resurrection
by our faithfulness.
May each of us experience a prayerful and blessed Holy
Week.
The schedule for Holy Week is again included in this week’s
bulletin. The Parish Office will be closed in observation of the
Easter Triduum and the Solemnity of Easter from 12:00 noon
on Holy Thursday, April 2nd until Tuesday morning, April 7th.
At the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy
Thursday, a collection will be taken up at the Mass to support
the Monroe City Ministerial Alliance and the Monroe City Food
Bank. At the Masses of Easter, the collection will be the annual
Infirm Priest Fund and Priest Retirement. This annual Easter
collection helps to maintain a reserve fund for out-of-theordinary health needs of priests not covered by health
insurance and funds retirement needs of our older priests who
gave decades of service to our parishes throughout the
Diocese of Jefferson City. This year’s assessment is
$6,770.00. Any short-fall of this assessment must be taken
from our operational budget, so I especially request your
participation in this appeal. This will be the only collection at
the Easter Masses.
This week you should have received a mailing invitation to
our parish for the Holy Week liturgies. This was invitation was
proposed, designed and mailed by the Stewardship Committee
of our parish. I thank them for their efforts of welcoming and
evangelizing the local community to worship with us this Easter
Triduum.
