Christ Our Saviour Parish
I have set my face like flint… Isaiah 50:7
April 14th 2019 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
Every year, the Church opens a window into Christ’s
suffering, so we understand the love that compelled him.
“Jesus took his place at the table, and the Apostles with
him.” I was struck that these are words that begin the
telling of the passion of Christ in Luke’s Gospel. Jesus is
taking his place, in place of us.
He took his place as the sacrificial lamb during
the Passover meal. Then, he took his place in humble
service. He took his place being counted among the
wicked, losing all his social standing. He took his place
interceding for us, then, in undergoing scurrilous insults.
He took his place in being convicted while innocent,
while watching an ungrateful, guilty criminal walk free.
As the painful description of our Lord’s suffering
continues, we see something else unfold. He received.
He received help, care, even pity. This, our Lord God,
Saviour and Redeemer, did. He received the final
punishment with its nails and the crown of thorns. While
he received the judgment of the world upon himself, he
received the repentant sinner, hung along side him. This
is how our Saviour lived. And died.
When you receive him in the Eucharist today, do
so gratefully, humbly and confidently. For God so loved
the world that he gave all. For you.

Stewardship Reflection “I tell you, Peter, be-
fore the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me.” (Luke 22:34)
How many times have you heard someone make a disparag-ing comment about Jesus or our Catholic faith? How did you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a disturbance? Or, do you remain quiet because you believe people will think nega-tively about you? Pray for the courage to speak up and enter into a respectful dialogue when the opportunity arises.
Marriage Tip: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?” (Mk 15:34) Have there been times when you have felt forsaken by God? Has he later proved his presence and love to you? Praise God for his love and presence in your life and marriage.

Chrism Mass will be celebrated on Holy Tuesday, April 16, 2019 at 7:30PM at St.
Boniface Cathedral in Winnipeg.
In 2016, Pope Francis issued an Apostolic
Exhortation entitled Amoris Laetitia or The Joy
of Love. The theme of the Chrism Mass is based
on the rich teachings of Pope Francis that underline the importance of marriage and family for our Church and
society as a whole. Following the Chrism Mass, a time of
fellowship, with refreshments, will take place in the
Parish hall of the Cathedral.
(Meditation on the Seven Last Words
of Jesus Christ in Word and
Song). The parish of Christ Our
Saviour presents a Lenten choral and
inspirational meditation on the Words of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
Held on Holy Wednesday, April 17,
2017 at 7pm at Christ Our Saviour
Parish. Admission is free Bring a

He was broken to heal and redeem our broken relation-ship. Only when we realize and address the brokenness of sin, do we seek the fullness of God'd love. Christ came to carry more than a cross; He came to carry us back to the Father. It's fitting that a man name Joseph would, once again, offer a place of rest for the Mother's child. The Cross and the Manger are inexorably linked.
Splash Canyon VBS, you have fun and share the Splash
Canyon message with the kids! If you can help full or
