ST. JOSEPH CHURCH An Apostolate of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest Canon Glenn Gardner, Rector PASSION SUNDAY April 7, A.D. 2019 - April 14 A.D. 2019 LATIN MASS TIMES Sunday 11:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. Wednesday 6:00 p.m. Confessions 30 minutes before each mass From the Rector… There is only one reason: Love! Love for the Father and love for mankind, whom He wants to reconcile with the Father. Only infinite love can explain the sufferings and humiliation accepted by Jesus. While His divinity hides itself, and almost seems to abandon Him, Jesus who is both human and divine, suffers in His human nature. Do- ing so, Jesus has given meaning to human suffering, He has made it meritorious: if accepted for the love of God and offered up for the salvation of the world. Jesus is the innocent victim, and He attains the high point of His mission into the world when it is His hour for which He longed. As we look at Jesus on the cross we confront the mystery of suffering and death and the paradox that suffering with Jesus leads to glory and happiness. Our task now is to follow Him during Holy Week. He says, “If you wish to be my disciple. Take up your cross daily and follow me.” These words are addressed to you and me. In the Acts of the Apostles (5:41) it is said that the Apos- tles rejoiced that they could suffer something for Jesus. They found joy in their sufferings because they saw mean- ing in it. They were sharing in the sufferings of Christ and had hope of eternal salvation. So during this Passion- tide, let us imitate them!
