Papi Reddy Yeruva participation in faith development. Through education and communication, we Cell: (715) 2084697 challenge the members of our parishes to grow in worship, formation, and service.

Cluster Administrative Assistant: Robert Lecheler Phone: (715) 5323051 or (715) 532 Visit us on our website: www.ruskcountycatholiccommunity.org 3232 Email: [email protected] Palm Sunday Reflection by Fr.Papi Reddy Deacons: Dear Brothers and Sisters THE CELEBRATION OF the Palm Sunday appears to be paradoxical. In the Thomas Fuhrmann beginning, people have welcomed Jesus as their king, but in the end, the crucified him. Craig Voldberg Thus, at first, there is a glory for Jesus, but later, there came a great tragedy. The gospel Douglas Sorenson (retired) serves as a synopsis of the whole celebration of the Holy Week. We remember the great event, the great story of our salvation in and through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us Jerome Drahos (retired) try to pick up some significant things in the passion narrative. I can think of three sad things: a) betrayal; b) abandonment; and c) death. Cluster Information: First, the gospel presents a story of betrayal. We heard of Judas Iscariot, one of the 611 First Street South disciples, who betrayed Jesus. Likewise, we there is Peter, the trusted disciple, who did Ladysmith, WI 54848 not join Jesus in praying at Gethsemane, and who denied Him in the presence of the high priest’s maids. Second, the gospel presents a story of abandonment. There were people, and Phone: (715) 5323051 disciples as well, who abandoned Jesus. When they saw Jesus suffering and hanging on Fax: (715) 6091059 the Cross, they simply left him. Furthermore, his loud cry, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani,” demonstrates a “seeming’ abandonment by the Father. Office Hours: Third, the gospel ends in crucifixion and death of Jesus. For some people around 8:00 am N 4:00 pm Monday Thursday him, the death of Jesus appears as a total failure. But, for believers, the death of Jesus is 9:00 am N 4:00 pm Friday rather seen as the fulfillment of what he lived for. It is the highest moment of God’s salvific plan for us. It is God’s greatest expression of his love for us. The stories of betrayal, abandonment and death are also our own stories. On Secretary: Tamara Richardson the one hand, we have experienced these in our relationship with others. Often we are Email: [email protected] victims of betrayal, abandonment, and death. But in some occasions, we were also the “victimizers” to others. We can hear stories of wives being betrayed by husbands, and Bookkeeper: Eileen Swaenepoel husbands betrayed by their wives. Infidelities seem to be rampant these days. It is Email: [email protected] unfortunate that migration has contributed to this occurrence. We can also hear stories of people betrayed and abandoned by their siblings. We can also hear stories of friends Faith Formation: Linda Stock being betrayed and killed by their friends. Thus, stories of betrayal, abandonment, and death are real stories. These are stories that some people would either love or hate to Email: [email protected] talk about. These are stories which are in need of a process of forgiveness; the kind of forgiveness that Jesus gave to his tormentors. On the other hand, these stories are also Our Lady of Sorrows School true in our relationship with God. Modernism, secularism, consumerism, atheism…. all Phone: (715) 5323232 these contribute to the betrayal, abandonment, and death of God in our midst. How Principal: Megan Dieckman have we betrayed Him? Believing in Him and yet doing nonChristian practices is a Secretary: Margie Gerber betrayal. Professing the faith, but do not live it out is a betrayal. The absence of the [email protected] “sense of sin” is a betrayal to God who always asks us to repent and undergo conversion. Have we abandoned God? Yes, we have abandoned Him! Secularism is an obvious form of abandonment of God. If we no longer see the meaning and importance of Sunday worship is an index of abandonment of God. We have also killed God in a way. The Holy Week is a moment of grace for us. This is a moment of reflecting upon Rusk County Catholic Community the great love of God for us through his suffering and death on the cross. Love is a two way relationship. God expects us to respond to this love. But if our response is one of betrayal, abandonment, and killing God, then, we ask for his forgiveness and mercy. @RuskCatholic Amen. God bless you. Stay home and stay healthy.
