A Note from Fr. Jim: My good friends in Christ Jesus, On Palm Sunday we enter into Jerusalem with Jesus, and the Church enters into Holy Week. This week is not simply about remembering and re-telling the story. This week is about our entering into the very mystery by which we are saved. The Paschal Mystery is that of Christ’s death and resurrection. By our Baptism – we are immersed and inserted into this mystery. In order to prepare for this sacred time leading up to our Lord’s Passion and Resurrection, I invite you to meditate on some quotes from the saints. “True reverence for the Lord’s passion means fixing the eyes of our heart on Jesus crucified and recognizing in him our own humanity.” –Pope St. Leo the Great

“The tragedy of the passion brings to fulfilment our own life and the whole of human history. We can't let Holy Week be just a kind of commemoration. It means contemplating the mystery of Jesus Christ as something which continues to work in our souls.” –St. Josemaria Escriva

“We give glory to you, Lord, who raised up your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living. ..You are incontestably alive. Your murderers sowed your living body in the earth as farmers sow grain, but it sprang up and yielded an abundant harvest of men raised from the dead.” –St. Ephrem the Syrian "The death of the Lord our God should not be a cause of shame for us; rather, it should be our greatest hope, our greatest glory. In taking upon himself the death that he found in us, he has most faithfully promised to give us life in him, such as we cannot have of ourselves." - St. Augustine

“Why did you suffer for me, dear Jesus? For love! The nails…the crown…the cross…all for the love of me!”–St. Gemma Galgani “Mount Calvary is the academy of love.” -St. Francis de Sales Please enter into this week with great reverence and expectation. Our God is ready to die for us. Have a blessed Holy Week, Fr. Jim

Mary’s Closet

Religious Education celebrated the closing of our year 2018/2019 on April 10th. Please say thank you to all our Catechists who spent this last year helping to prepare your children as they travel on their Faith Journey. We are so blessed to have such caring and compassionate Catechists. As we just completed 1st Communion with 138 students, I would like to encourage you to attend mass with your children each week so they can receive Holy Communion each week and draw closer to Jesus. They are anxious and eager to learn and we appreciate all that you do! Confirmation Retreat will be held on August 11th from 10am-5pm The students will meet at the Cathedral for Mass at 10am. Following Mass, the students will go to the Parish Hall and have pizza for lunch and continue their afternoon Retreat to prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation on September 8th. All Confirmation students are required to attend this Retreat. Information regarding this Retreat is posted on the bulletin board in the back of the Cathedral. Our calendar year for classes is now closed and we encourage you to watch for registration this August so that your children can enroll and continue their Journey. If you have any questions, please contact Barb Ernst at 308-384-2523 ext 213. Thank you for your support!

Fasting and Abstinence

Operation Rice Bowls may be brought to the church during Holy Week. You can bring them to the sacristy before or after any of the liturgies. You can also put them in the collection. This is our annual almsgiving which supports the work of the Catholic Relief Services.

Rice Bowls

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year until the beginning of their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have completed their 14th year of age c. 1252). If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the “paschal fast” to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and celebrate more readily his Resurrection (see Sacrosanctum Concilium, 109).

The Parish office will closed on Noon on Thursday, April 18th for Holy Thursday

Parish Office, Daycare,& SMIP will be closed on Good Friday, April 19th

Hector Perez brings us alongside Jesus in the final hours of His public ministry as He brings to fulfillment the very purpose of His Incarnation, the salvation of all mankind. Fr. Perez's detailed insights of those last three days offer a moving look into the lov-ing heart of the Messiah and detailed descriptions of his intense emotional and physical sufferings. With this knowledge, our hearts can only love him more.

THE STORY OF OUR REDEMPTION

St. Mary’s Cathedral Eucharistic Adoration Prayer Intentions

You will receive the Saint ( Blessed) of the day, Mediation plus Gospel of the day to your Facebook page in each day.

Great way to start you day or end your day with us

Check us out on Facebook: St. Mary’s Cathedral Grand Island Ne

We begin the final week of Lent with these familiar readings. This year, we hear the Passion from the Gospel of Luke. These readings for Palm Sunday and the Passion used to be read on successive Sundays. Now they are combined into a single feast, so that we may see the whole sweep of the glory and the suffering played out. Jesus accepts the adulation of the crowd, the foreshadowing of his glory in the Resurrection. He bids farewell to his disciples in his last Passover, and forgives his tormentors as he dies on the cross. Later this week, we enter the Holy Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, when the whole story of our redemption will play out once again. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

“When battered by life's storms, or immersed in a dense fog of suffering and uncertainty, we may feel alone and unequipped to handle the circumstances. Yet with words that echo through thousands of years into the corners of our hearts, the Lord says to us, ‘Do not fear: I am with you’ (Isaiah 41:10).” USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities 2017-18 Respect Life Reflection

Did you know that Fr. Jim does the Gospel Reflection on upcoming Sunday on our Facebook page on video. Thanks to Pax Christi multimedia!!!

Last week for 40 Cans for Lent

The Diocese of Grand Island is sponsoring a religious vocation promotion initiative. “CALLED BY NAME” is a program that invites men and women, 18 years of age or older, to consider a vocation as a priest, religious sister, brother, or deacon. This program has been recommended by the U.S. Bishops’ Committee on Vocations in its document, “A Future Full of Hope: A National Strategy for Vocations to Priesthood and Religious Life for the Archdioceses and Dioceses of the United States.” Parishioners throughout the diocese are encouraged to consider who in our midst might serve well as a priest, deacon or religious and submit their names. There are many good prospective priests, brothers, sisters and deacons who are simply waiting to be asked. Last weekend we handed out cards upon which you could list fellow parishioners (or yourself!) who you think might have the calling of priesthood, religious life or the permanent diaconate. If you did not get a card – you can still pass along the names to the parish of-fice. Please include the person’s name, which vocation you think is theirs and their contact information (phone number and address if you know it). Thank you.

Anuncios en Español Page 9 Información de la Oficina de Educación Religiosa:

El programa de Educación Religiosa celebró el cierre de nuestro año 2018/2019 el 10 de abril. Por favor agradezca a todos nuestros catequistas que pasaron este último año ayudando a preparar a sus hijos en su viaje de fe. Somos muy afortunados de tener tan buenos y compasivos catequistas. Cuando acabamos de completar la Primera Comunión con 138 estudiantes, me gustaría animarlos a que asistan a misa con sus hijos cada semana para que puedan recibir la Santa Comunión cada semana y acercarse más a Jesús. ¡Están ansiosos por aprender y nosotros apreciamos todo lo que hacen! El retiro de Confirmación se llevará a cabo el 11 de agosto de 10am a 5pm. Los estudiantes se reunirán en la Catedral para la misa de las 10am. Después de la misa, los estudiantes irán al centro parroquial, comerán pizza y continuarán su retiro en la tarde para prepararse para el sacramento de la Confirmación el 8 de septiembre. Todos los estudiantes de Confirmación deben asistir a este retiro. La información sobre este retiro esta publicada en el tablón de anuncios en la parte posterior de la Catedral. Nuestro año calendario para las clases ya está cerrado y lo invitamos a que se inscriba en agosto para que sus hijos puedan inscribirse y continuar su viaje de fe. Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con Barb Ernst al 308-384-2523 ext 213. ¡Gracias por su apoyo! Ganadoras Del Concurso De Arte De Pro-Vida: Felicitamos a Aleny Cruz-de segundo grado y a Kelly Ramirez-Ramirez del 4 grado por ganar el primer lugar en su clase en el Concurso de Arte de la Cultura de Vida de nuestra Diócesis de Grand Island. El arte de las dos niñas se envió para participar en el concurso estatal. Los ganadores de ese concurso serán anunciados en el otoño. Muchas felicitaciones y bendiciones a las dos. Si miran a Aleny y a Kelly por favor de felicitarlas por su participación y avance en la causa de Pro-Vida.

Platica Pre-bautismal En Mayo : Debido a que estamos ocupa-dos con bastantes eventos parroquiales serán limitadas la fechas para poder tomar la plática pre-bautismal. Por ejemplo no vamos a tener plática pre-bautismal en el mes de Abril. La próxima plática es el 19 de Mayo a las 2pm. Las personas que vayan a bautizar aquí deben de pasar a la oficina parroquial para hacer el papeleo necesario. Nadie puede tomar esta plática sin estar pre-

viamente registrado. Por favor llamen a la oficina si tienen preguntas 308-384-2523 ext. 221. Horarios de oficina lunes a

jueves de 8:30am-4:30pm. Visite www.stmarysgi.formed.org para abrir su puerta gratuita a innumerables videos y charlas católicas en español y en inglés que incluyen estudios bíblicos, películas, documentales y más. Esta semana el Pdr. Jim recomienda el programa de video: “Semana Santa en Roma.” Asista a las solemnes ceremonias de la Semana Santa en Roma, desde el Domingo de Ramos en la Plaza de San Pedro hasta la Vigilia Pascual dentro de la Basílica, pasando por el lavado de los pies a cargo del Papa o el Vía Cru-cis nocturno del Viernes Santo en el Coliseo. Teólogos, profeso-res e historiadores del arte explican qué sucedió en aquellos últi-mos días de Jesucristo en Jerusalén y sus consecuencias para la humanidad.

Rice Bowls/Plato de Arroz: Las cajitas que simbolizan un plato de arroz, ya se deben de regresarse. Si todavía no ha hecho por favor de traerlas a la sacristía o ponerlas en la canasta de la co-lecta. Gracias por su sacrificio en esta cuaresma, Dios los bendi-ga y les duplique sus donaciones. Porque se cubren las imágenes y no permiten velas en Semana Santa?: Por favor de no traer flores, encender velas en la iglesia comenzando el jueves santo. Explicación del Porqué: En la liturgia tridentina, y hasta el Concilio Vaticano II, durante la Cuaresma se cubría todo lo que en el templo represen-taba a la Iglesia triunfante, o del cielo: retablos, imágenes, etc. En primer lugar para representar la gloria en todo su esplendor en la noche de pascua. Se le daba así a la liturgia, que cuenta con la sensibilidad de los fieles, un carácter de sobriedad, de recogi-miento, de penitencia. Incluso la noche de Pascua, la Vigilia Pas-cual, se comienza con todo apagado, para que vayamos descu-briendo la Luz de Cristo y de la gloriosa Resurrección poco a poco. Con el Gloria ya se termina de encender todas las luces.

“Llamado Por Nombre” : La Diócesis de Grand Island está patrocinando una iniciativa de promoción de las vocaciones religiosas. "LLAMADO POR NOM-BRE" es un programa que invita a hombres y mujeres, de 18 años de edad o más, a considerar una vocación como sacerdote, her-mana/o religiosa, o diácono. Este programa ha sido recomendado por el Comité de Vocaciones de los Obispos de los Estados Uni-dos en su documento “Un futuro lleno de esperanza: Una estrate-gia nacional para las vocaciones al sacerdocio y la vida religiosa para las Arquidiócesis y las diócesis de los Estados Unidos”. En el corazón de este programa se encuentra la creencia de que todos compartimos un llamado común a través del bautismo, al que estamos invitados a responder de diversas maneras: matrimonio, vida individual, vida religiosa consagrada, diaconado y sacerdo-cio. El proceso LLAMADO POR NOMBRE se enfoca en el sacer-docio, el diaconado y la vida consagrada, y enfatiza el papel de la comunidad cristiana en el llamado a hombres y mujeres a consi-derar estas vocaciones. Se alienta a los feligreses de toda la diócesis a considerar quiénes de nosotros podrían servir bien como sacerdotes, diáconos o religiosos y presentar sus nombres. Hay muchos buenos posibles sacerdotes, hermanos, hermanas y diáconos que simplemente esperan que se les pregunte. El fin de semana pasado, distribuimos tarjetas en las que puedes referir a otros feligreses (o a ti mismo)!) . Si desea nominar a alguien (o a usted mismo), llévelo a su casa, complételo y devuélvalo el próxi-mo domingo a la canasta de la oferta. También puedes dárselos a uno de nuestros sacerdotes, diáconos o hermanas. ¡Que Dios levante vocaciones desde aquí en nuestra parroquia de la catedral!

La Pasión del Señor:El viernes Santo a las 3:30 pm te invitamos a que vivas el Vía Crucis bilingüe en vivo en el estacionamiento después del rezo de la novena y La Coronilla a La Divina Misericordia en el estacionamiento de La Catedral. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Una Nota del Padre Jim Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor

Mis buenos amigos en Cristo Jesús, El Domingo de Ramos entramos en Jerusalén con Jesús, y la Iglesia entra en la Semana Santa. Esta semana no se trata simplemente de recordar y volver a contar la historia. Esta se-mana es sobre nuestra entrada en el mismo misterio por el cual somos salvados. El misterio pascual es el de la muerte y resu-rrección de Cristo. Por nuestro Bautismo, estamos inmersos e implantados en este misterio. Para prepararme para este tiem-po sagrado que conduce a la Pasión y Resurrección de nuestro Señor, los invito a meditar en algunas citas de los santos.

"La verdadera reverencia por la pasión del Señor significa fijar los ojos de nuestro corazón en Jesús crucificado y reconocerlo en él nuestra propia humanidad".- Papa León I el Magno o Grande “La tragedia de la pasión hace realidad nuestra propia vida y el conjunto de la historia humana. No podemos dejar que la Se-mana Santa sea solo una especie de conmemoración. Significa contemplar el misterio de Jesucristo como algo que continúa obrando en nuestras almas”. Santo Josémaria Escriva

“Te damos gloria, Señor, quien levantó tu cruz para atravesar las fauces de la muerte como un puente por el cual las almas podrían pasar de la región de los muertos a la tierra de los vi-vos. ..Estás indudablemente vivo. Sus asesinos sembraron su cuerpo viviente en la tierra mientras los granjeros siembran el grano, pero brotó y produjo una abundante cosecha de hom-bres resucitados de entre los muertos”. San Efrén de Siria "La muerte del Señor nuestro Dios no debe ser un motivo de ver-güenza para nosotros; más bien, debe ser nuestra mayor espe-ranza, nuestra mayor gloria. Al asumir sobre sí mismo la muerte que él encontró en nosotros, ha prometido fielmente darnos la vida en él, como no podemos tener de nosotros mismos”. - San Agustín “¿Por qué sufriste por mí, querido Jesús? ¡Por amor! "Los Cla-vos... la Corona... la cruz... ¡todo por el amor a mí!" – Santa Gemma Galgani "El monte Calvario es la academia del amor". San Francisco de Sales

Por favor, entra en esta semana con gran reverencia y expecta-tiva. Nuestro Dios está dispuesto a morir por nosotros. Ten una bendita Semana Santa, Padre Jim.
