The complete name for this Sunday’s liturgy is “Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion.” Let us do our best to live this week closely connected to our Lord whose passionate love for us knows no bounds — culminating in His death on the cross and His triumph over death — all for us. Two very different responses to our Lord’s passion are highlighted during the Gospel reading from Luke today: the response of Simon of Cyrene and WKH UHVSRQVH RI -HVXV¶ DFTXDLQWDQFHV 2I 6LPRQ we are told, “They took hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country; and after laying the cross on him, they made him carry it behind Jesus.” Whether Simon entered willingly and compassionately into this service or whether he took up the Cross of Christ with a grudge, we don’t know. What we do know is this: Simon did his part faithfully. He stayed near to Christ, carrying the Cross until our Lord reached Golgotha, the site of His crucifixion. We also know that Simon’s family were among the first of the early Christians. Staying QHDUWR&KULVWHPEUDFLQJWKH&URVV TXLWHOLWHUDOO\ WUDQVIRUPHGKLVOLIHDQGWKHOLIHRIKLVIDPLO\ In contrast, near the end of this Gospel account we are told of another reaction to Jesus’ passion and death, namely that “all +LVDFTXDLQWDQFHVVWRRGDWDGLVWDQFH´7KH\NQHZ-HVXV7KH\KDGKHDUGKLPSUHDFKLQJDQGWHDFKLQJZLWQHVVHG+LVVLJQV and miracles, maybe even benefited personally from them. Perhaps they did not participate in mocking Him or calling for His crucifixion. But they chose to stay a safe distance from Him when the going got tough. Unlike Simon, they refused to go too near to Christ. Where will you place yourself this week? Keeping your distance from all the pain and suffering Christ endured? Or close by, staying near to Him like Simon did? It is when we go near to Christ that we can be transformed by Him. It is by embracing the crosses in our lives, stewarding them well rather than trying to run from them, that we become His true disciples. Still unconvinced? Let the words of this Sunday’s Gospel this week speak to you personally: “The chief priests and scribes… stood by accusing him harshly” and He did not defend Himself, for love of me. ³+HURGDQGKLVVROGLHUVWUHDWHGKLPFRQWHPSWXRXVO\DQGPRFNHGKLP´DQG+HVWD\HGTXLHWIRUORYHRIPH The crowd shouted, “Away with this man! Release Barabbas to us” and He let Himself be led away, for love of me. “With loud shouts they persisted in calling for his crucifixion” and He did not object, for love of me. “Even the soldiers jeered at Him” and He endured it patiently, for love of me. “They crucified Him and the criminals there” and He died, for love of me. Stay near to Christ this Holy Week — attend the Triduum services of Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, pray the Stations of the Cross, increase your fasting just a bit — and allow yourself to be transformed by His passionate love, so that this week indeed becomes a week like no other. Copyright © 2019 — Catholic Stewardship Consultants, Inc. 2QWKH:D\+RPH Today’s Mass is a bit puzzling, at the beginning people are waving palm branches to welcome Jesus but in less than a week he is tortured and put to death. Why? Why was Jesus such a threat that the religious authorities put him to death? Are you amazed that God loved us so much as to die for us? How can we respond to this amazing love? 35$<(55(48(676 April 14, 2019 Rest In Peace Please remember in your prayers those who have died recently: George Thaler. 2XUSUD\HUVDUHZLWKWKLVIDPLO\GXULQJWKLVGLI¿FXOWWLPH Pray for the Sick of Our Parish Brooks Armstrong Stephen Gaston Lisa Johnson Richard Pogue Nan Sroufe Bailey Avrett Travis Gibson Susan Kuzia %DE\/XFLD3UHVWL¿OLSSR Sophia Strelec Paige Christian Hugh Greene Laurie Landrum Daniel Rich Patricia Tropea Christy Davis Christopher Grubisa Logan LaPan Aileen Robinson Joe Ward Stephen Douglas Ami Gulliams Matilda Lazio Wanda Roper Vickie Walters Gregg Dross Carol Hayes 7RQ\0DQLTXLV Julienne Sales Candace Watts Margaret Dunstan Thomas Hennessey Myrna Montalvo Joan Schenkel Charles Patrick Wier, Jr. Diane Dymeck Angela Maietta Heslen Sheri Morris MaeAnnie Screven Anita Wylds Tony Eubanks Hinton Family Kathy Mosner Michael Sheehan Barbara Frantom John Hoverkamp Eleanor Peterson Christy Sisk Joe Fulghum Cambri Jewell Percy Pierce Julia K.
