Dear parishioners,
Palm Sunday is a strange day in our liturgical calendar. We begin by waving palms, but somewhere in the middle, we call for Jesus to be crucified. We celebrate today an equally paradoxical God, one who comes to save through suffering. "I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!" Jesus, who so often in the Gospels tries to hide his true identity, speaks thunderously to the Pharisees who would still the rejoicing crowd. At the Last Supper, Jesus confirms the Messianic promise to his disciples, saying "I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred one on me." Yet, before the night is over, Jesus has been betrayed. We hear the tragedy unfold in Luke's Passion narrative. Jesus is abused by the council of elders, denied by Peter, whipped by Roman soldiers, and condemned to death by Pilate. But what else do we see? Jesus heals someone who came to arrest him, forgives his torturers, promises a repentant man paradise, and - by his loving endurance - converts a centurion at the foot of the cross. Jesus is both Redeemer of the World and Suffering Servant. In taking on the mantle of Messiah, Jesus does not only receive our praise and our accolades, but he bears our burdens and sins and does so with the deepest love. He may go about our salvation in a paradoxical way, but he is dearer to our own suffering hearts for it. This week, we remember that no sorrow of our own is beyond the reach of the compassion of God. I hope you plan to join us as we prepare ourselves for Easter during Holy Week. Our Holy Week Schedule is as follows: Sunday, (today) Reconciliation 11:15-12:30pm Monday of Holy Week, 7:30 am Mass with Confessions to follow. Wednesday of Holy Week, 7:30 am Mass. Confessions 4:30-6pm. Holy Thursday, 7:00 pm Mass. Adoration following. Good Friday, 12pm Stations. 5 pm Service. Saturday, 8:30 pm Easter Vigil Mass Sunday, 8 & 10 am Easter Masses We are still in need of volunteers to help with our Easter liturgies. See next column and email Tracy if you can help out. May God bless you in the upcoming week, Fr. Dustin Vu
