PASTOR`S LETTER

PALM SUNDAY, MARCH 25

Palm Sunday begins the celebration of Holy Week which is finished by the Paschal

Triduum. These are the days that emphasize the most important points of our

faith: the martyrdom, the death on the cross, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The great humility of Jesus who fulfills the will of his Father starts with his

“triumphal” entering into Jerusalem on an ass (donkey, colt). It was a humble sign of fulfilling prophesies about a suffering servant of God, the Messiah. His depriva-

tion and abandonment left him totally in a powerless situation showing his true human condition, called catharsis, in which

a counting on an invisible God borders with heroism of totally trusting in God. This is why the responsorial psalm today,

like an echo, should resound in our ears almost in a form of reproach to God, who keeps silent, but Jesus repeats it as a

sign of totally trusting in God: “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” It is about the situation of man who ex-periences the emptiness and nothingness of life, a man who calls God in time of experience of luck of His presence and

power. Jesus must go through His tests of martyrdom and death in order to show a man that in similar border situations

every man could and should count on Him because He was the first who has passed the border of life and painful death.

After his resurrection He knows what is on other side. This is why He becomes for us a light and hope. The narration of

the Passion of the Lord is for us an example (pattern, paradigm) of the historical struggle of man with the sense of life and

the existence of God. In Jesus Christ we receive the answer, light, and hope. Let us build in Jesus Christ’s cross and resur-rection the sense of our life, suffering and struggles.

Mark in your calendar the date: March 28, Holy Wednesday, 6-8 PM. It will be occasion of the Parish confession before

Easter, with many priests speaking in English, Polish, and Spanish. Holy Saturday the blessing of the baskets: 11 AM.

Czytania dzisiejszej niedzieli, na przykładzie Pasji Jezusa, ukazują dramat człowieka stającego w obliczu próby i bolesnego doświadczenia swej egzystencji. Jezus pokazuje, że w tej skrajnej sytuacji, zwanej w psychologii katarsis, powinno się liczyć

na Boga sprawdzając do granic możliwości swoje bezgraniczne zawierzenie Bogu. Chrystus przeżywając swoją mękę i śmierć, zwieńczoną zmartwychwstaniem, pokazuje źródło siły i nadziei, która pozwala każdemu chrześcijaninowi stawić czoła wszelkim próbom życia, a szczególnie tajemnicy śmierci.

Proszę zaznaczyć sobie najbliższą datę, 28 marca, Wielką Środę, kiedy to w godzinach od 6 do 8 PM będzie można skor-zystać ze spowiedzi wielkopostnej. Przewidzianych jest 10. księży spowiedników. Święcenie pokarmów w nabliższą (Wielką) Sobotę o godz. 12 w południe i 1 PM.

Las lecturas de este domingo, al ejemplo de la Pasión de Jesucristo, nos muestra el drama del hombre que choca con la prueba de su dolorosa experiencia. Jesús demuestra que en esta situación extremal que en psicología llamamos catarsis se debe contar con Dion testificando así una total y radical confianza en Dios. Jesucristo, por su martirio, muerte terminada en

la resurrección, nos revela el manantial de nuestra fuerza y esperanza, la cual permite a cada Cristiano enfrentarse a todas las

pruebas de vida, y especialmente al misterio de la muerte.

Marken el día de la confessión cuaresmal, el próximo Miércoles Santo, 28 de marzo, desde 6 a 8 de la tarde, en nuestra par-roquia. Van a venir unos diez sacerdotes confesando en inglés y espanol. Así podemos mejor prepararnos a las fiestas de Nochebuena. El Sábado Santo nos vamos a bendecir los cestos de comida, a las 11 de la mañana.

EUCHARIST ADORATION

New Spring/Summer Extended Hours

Beginning April 5

THE EUCHARIST IS THE

HEART OF THE CHURCH

Excerpt from Our Holy Father,

Pope St John Paul II's homily

"Christ has died. Christ is risen.

Christ will come again in glory. These

words contain the very essence of the

Eucharistic mystery.

In them we find what we bear witness to and share in

every day as we celebrate and receive the Eucharist.

In the Upper Room Jesus effects the consecration.

By virtue of His words, the bread - while keeping the

external appearance of bread - becomes His Body,

and the wine - while maintaining the external appearance

of wine - becomes His Blood.

THIS IS THE GREAT MYSTERY OF FAITH! THIS

IS THE LIVING BREAD WHICH CAME DOWN

FROM HEAVEN!"

How to make a Holy Hour:

Meditate during your Holy Hour.

This is a time for quiet and for spirituality.

Find something specific for your meditation.

Combine prayer and reading.

Offer Christ your petitions and thanksgivings.

Enjoy the peace that comes from being

in the presence of God.

We need your help to volunteer so the Blessed

Sacrament is not left unattended. Please consider signing

up by choosing a time slot. A signup sheet is located in

the Center of the Church on a podium.

Beginning April 5 Our Hours for Adorations during

Daylight Savings times will be on Thursday after the 8:15

am Mass to 5:00 pm, with prayers to the Divine Mercy

at 3 pm in Polish ending with Divine Mercy Chaplet

and benediction in English at 4:45 pm.

- Deacon John
