NOTES FROM FATHER BOB…

PALM SUNDAY 2014 It was a quiet Sunday morning. Orange juice and coffee were on the kitchen table. The kitchen, itself, was dark and secluded, being situated on the far side of the house, away from the rising sun. Outside, the day was bright and sunny, with a clear sky, but in the kitchen there was nothing to disturb the early morning shadows. In the cool darkness a man sat sipping his juice, slowly waking up to the day. Suddenly a blazing light burst into the room and blinded the seated figure. The light was so bright that the man could see nothing at all. What had happened? Where had this light come from? How had it penetrated his inner sanctum of darkness and cool? As he turned to face the light, the answer to all his questions became clear. The sun in the east was shining on the window of a house at the rear of his property and reflecting dazzlingly into his dark and secluded den, bathing it in brilliant light. The sun had invaded and illuminated his dark and shadowy kitchen. Yes, the sun is a light that darkness cannot overpower. Every day the sun, rising, bathes the whole world in light, and seeks out with its bright rays, every dark and secluded corner of the earth. The sun is so bright and powerful, it is no wonder that many ancient peoples thought of it as a God. In the Christian tradition we use the image of the sun as a sign of God. A Christian hymn speaks of Jesus as “the sun of ransomed earth”. Jesus speaks of himself as “the light of the world”, and at his birth, the scriptures say, “the rising sun has come to visit us”. The hymn of the early church, quoted by Saint Paul today, also uses language reminiscent of the action of the sun, rising, setting and rising again. Jesus, in the heavens, came down to earth and descended even further, into the darkness of suffering and death. Then, out of the darkness of the tomb, he is raised to the highest place in all creation, as the risen Lord. Like the sun rising, Jesus sheds his light upon all humankind, and his life is our hope and healing. The risen Lord lives forever and his risen life has overcome every darkness and every depth of misery and despair. He shines for all to see. His light seeks out the hidden places of the human heart, and the dark stories of tragic lives. Jesus knows these places, has walked these roads, has suffered these torments. What good to us is a God who doesn’t care? What use to us is a God who does not know? What kind of God is a God who only looks on? The passion story of Jesus that we read today is also the story of all human life in every age. In the sufferings of Jesus we see the darkness of the world. Jesus unjustly treated, wrongly accused, spat upon, laughed at, interrogated, tied up, tortured, condemned, led to execution, stripped of everything, nailed, left to die, buried and forgotten. These things happen to people everyday in every age. The darkness can seem impenetrable, its evil incurable. But it is not so. Jesus, rising in glory, shines a light so bright that nothing can quench it. That light reflects in the hearts and minds and faces of every good person, and by reflection, enters the dark and hidden places of human sadness and suffering. The risen Jesus is given a name, Saint Paul tells us today. It is a name above all other names. That name is “Lord”. As the apostle Thomas said, on seeing Jesus in the upper room, “My Lord and my God.” This name means that evil will not triumph, and no one shall be lost forever. God’s love is for all that he has made. Just as the sun shines on honest and dishonest men alike, so, too, it is with the resurrection of Jesus. It shines for all. It shines on those who believe in the Lord, and on those who do not believe. On those who are not able to believe, and on those who refuse to believe. The light of Christ, reflected in our humble lives, may yet shine on many a dark corner and bring light and hope to many a darkened life. It was a quiet Sunday morning when light burst out from a darkened tomb. Light of Christ, Fr. Bob Pastor

The Sacred Triduum refers to the three days before Easter. They include Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. On Holy Thursday we commemorate the Last Supper and Christ’s Passion and approaching crucifixion. Good Friday is a solemn time in which we remember the suffering death on the cross of Jesus Christ. On Holy Saturday we observe the Easter Vigil and anticipate Christ’s triumphant resurrection from the dead. The Sacred Triduum is the apex of our liturgical year, and its glorious fulfillment. Let us observe these days as a special time of prayer and meditation.

“Let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will.” Imagine Jesus, a man who had been praying and fasting for forty days in the desert; a man who had been driving away demons, raising the dead, curing the sick and the blind.

Now he enters into the Holy City, not as you would expect a king to enter, but on the back of a lowly donkey that his disciples find tied to a tree! “Meek” is the word the Gospel uses to refer to this King, and we understand why as we examine his life – from his birth in a stable, to his entrance into the Holy City, to his death of crucifixion, a method reserved for slaves and criminals. We see that Jesus was not a king of this world. Although he could have asked God to take away his suffering – to ask him for help – he does not. Jesus has entirely surrendered to God’s will up until the end of his life!

• PRAY that you might see Jesus in those who may not appear, in your eyes, to be worthy of your praise, attention or gifts. • FAST from worry; feast on trust. • LEARN. Read about the Bread and Blessings Program in the Diocese of Santa Fe. Reflect on how we can lift up through prayer, gifts and service, those in our community who are invisible and forgotten. Visit www.tallerdeJose, to learn about this community resource center and hear the stories of those who have been helped here. 25% of our CRS Rice Bowl proceeds will help Taller continue their mission. • GIVE. Be sure to return your rice bowls this week to the designated bins in the Church narthex. Thank you for your generosity!
