Joe Noonan On Palm Sunday we celebrate ’ triumphant entry into the Holy City of Jerusalem where he would celebrate his last Passover meal, be arrested, tried and crucified. At first, Jesus was greeted like a king with crowds praising him and laying palm branches and coats on the ground before him. Many of the crowd knew Jesus while others simply joined in the celebratory atmosphere. His closest disciples and apostles must have been ecstatic as they witnessed the marvelous welcome given to Jesus.

Then in a few short days everything changed. The bottom dropped out of the popular movement when Jesus was arrested. The first people to flip from praising to mocking Jesus may not have known him or were recent disciples more susceptible to the Jewish officials’ denouncement of Jesus. After the scandal of Jesus’ sham trial, passion and death, many disciples left Jerusalem with feelings of disappointment and loss. With the departure of Judas Iscariot, the remaining apostles and a few disciples remained locked and hidden away until after the Resurrection and gift of the Holy Spirit at .

Those left were deeply shaken, afraid and confused. However, Jesus had a plan and work for them to do. After his Resurrection, Jesus kept his promise and sent the Holy Spirit upon the early Church inspiring them to preach and teach. The Spirit guided them to receive the greatest gifts ever given to man, God’s own presence in the sacraments, especially Baptism and the Eucharist. The early Church courageously faced their fears and doubts. As a result, many came to believe through them and were baptized. They celebrated Mass, healed the sick and forgave sins as Jesus had empowered them to do.

Since those first days, the Catholic Church has been the plan of God to carry on the saving work of Christ across time and generations. You are a beloved member of the body of Christ, the Catholic Church. You are part of the most direct pathway to Jesus that exists. He created his Church to share his divine life with us in order to prepare us to share in his Resurrection. Faith is an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ for our salvation. Everything in the Catholic Church exists to increase our faith.

If you have been scandalized by some of the horrible acts of evil perpetrated by a small amount of Judas priests, then I encourage you - like the early Church - to hold strong to your faith and pursuit of Jesus within the Catholic Church. The earliest days were very hard for those believers. Peter had denied Jesus three times. Judas Iscariot, an apostle had betrayed him. Many disciples fled, never to return. The Catholic Church started as a group who needed to trust in God and to believe the plan Jesus had would come to fruition. They gave their lives for that purpose.

Throughout time, every institution and every leader has had some flaws. Yet no institution has ever been given the Holy Spirit as the Catholic Church has. And you are the Catholic Church, the mystical body of Christ. You have been empowered by the same Holy Spirit. Jesus has a plan and work for us to do here at St. Damian and in our homes, workplaces and neighborhoods. Be courageous in your following of Christ. Stay loyal to Christ in the Church that he founded as the vehicle for our salvation. Worship him and receive him in the Eucharist when we welcome him every Sunday into our hearts as the early Church did.

If you are NEW to St. Damian then WELCOME! Please stop by and introduce yourself. I would like to meet you. May your palm branches, placed in a visible spot in your home, remind you to welcome Jesus every day into your life and every Sunday at Mass. 3

April 14, 2019 Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion

Jesus warns us in the Gospel of Matthew, "If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." It is an invitation to a way of life, and a plan that leads to holiness. But make no mistake, it is a warning as well. The cross is a sign of victory, but only in light of the Resurrection. Alone, it is a symbol of ultimate sacrifice: the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for a fallen world, and the sacrifice we are called to make to truly follow him.

The power of this symbol has been diminished in popular culture. It is often used in fashion and simple wall art and on bumper stickers and T-shirts, sometimes with Christian clichés and sometimes not. But the cross is something so much more. It is a reminder of the pain, suffering, and death of one who loved us so much that he would give his very life for us. It is our God on that cross. It is God who cries out in despair, feeling the ultimate depth of human emotion. And there lies the key for us in trying to live this life of carrying our crosses.

For those who suffer the death of a loved one, the Father lost his Son. For those who suffer the ravages of disease, his body was broken, beaten, and pierced. For those who feel they have no way out - whether due to prisons that are physical or prisons that are of the mind - he hung on a cross and cried out, "Why?" For those who feel alone and abandoned, he hung on a tree where no one could comfort him, not even his own mother. He has walked in all our shoes, and now we are called to walk in his. In the cross, we find solidarity with the human condition. In an empty tomb, we find our hope.

-Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS 7

Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the sacrament of the priesthood. During the , Jesus offers himself as the Passover sacrifice, the sacrificial lamb, and teaches that every ordained priest is to follow the same sacrifice in the exact same way. The Holy Thursday Liturgy marks the end of and the beginning of the sacred "Triduum,” or three, of Holy Week. These days are the three holiest days in the Catholic Church. This Mass stresses the importance Jesus puts on the humility of service, and the need for cleansing with water, a symbol of baptism. Also emphasized are the critical importance of the Eucharist and the sacrifice of Christ’s Body, which we now find present in the consecrated Host. At the conclusion of the Mass, the faithful are invited to continue Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament throughout the night, just as the disciples were invited to stay up with the Lord during His agony in the garden before His betrayal by Judas. After Holy Thursday, no Mass will be celebrated again in the Church until the celebrates and proclaims the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. St. Damian celebrates the Mass of the Last Supper at 7:30 pm

From the earliest days of , no Mass has been celebrated on Good Friday, since the Mass is a celebration both of the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and of His Resurrection. Instead, the Church celebrates a special liturgy in which the account of the Passion according to the Gospel of John is read, a series of intercessory prayers (prayers for special intentions) are offered, and the faithful venerate the Cross by coming forward and kissing it. The Good Friday liturgy concludes with the distribution of Holy Communion. Since there was no Mass, consecrated Hosts that were reserved from the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday are distributed instead. Good Friday is a day of strict fasting and abstinence. Catholics over the age of 18 and under the age of 60 are required to fast, which means that they can eat only one complete meal and two smaller ones during the day, with no food in between. Catholics who are over the age of 14 are required to refrain from eating any meat, or any food made with meat.

The Children of St. Damian will re-create the in the Passion Play at 3:00 PM in the Church. All are welcome to the performance.

The Liturgical Celebration of the Lord’s Passion takes place in the Church at 7:30 PM.

The blessing of the Easter Basket has been a cherished Catholic ritual for centuries among families of Eastern European origin and adopted by people of all ethnic backgrounds who enjoy this richly symbolic custom. The Christian significance of Easter is symbolized in the foods used for the Holiday feast. Baskets containing a sampling of Easter foods are brought to church to be blessed on Holy Saturday. After the Resurrection Mass, the family would share this Blessed food and exchange good wishes.

Our Basket Blessing will be Saturday, April 20 at 1:00 PM in the Church.
