March 25, 2018 Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

PASSION The contrast between the processional reading in today’s liturgy and the proclama-tion of the Passion is striking. We are given a glimpse of how profoundly the word of God is fulfilled in Jesus. First he must be hailed as the Messiah, the One who is to come. He must be acknowl-edged by all, though they do not know what they are saying. They think he is the promised king, a worldly king of the Jews who will free them from the Roman occupation. They do not yet understand, even the disciples, exactly where this triumphal procession is leading. In our lives, we too do not know where we are going. It is in faith that we can follow Christ wherever he may lead us, trusting that death is not the end, nor evil the victor.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION For many centuries, Christian pilgrims have longed to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, and on Passion Sunday the eyes of the world are on the Via Dolorosa, the “Road of Sorrows,” in Jerusalem. As soon as it became safe for Christians to worship in public in the fourth century, a way was marked out. It was changed a few times over the years, and today’s usual route was sketched by the Franciscans six hundred years ago, although Anglicans and Byzantines have their own unique detours. Friday is the most favored day, although it is crowded then. Almost everyone begins at the Lion’s Gate in the Muslim Quarter, and ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It’s less than a quarter mile, but it threads its way through crowded markets with souvenir shops and fast-food snacks. There are, just as in your parish church, fourteen stations along the way. The exact spots are not known, but what matters is the pilgrim’s unique ability to see even an ordinary road in a teeming city as something more than meets the eye.—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Rice Bowls Available at Church Entrances We encounter Jesus this week in Jerusalem, a community he knew well. We prayerfully enter our own communities too, encountering those who are hungry and thirsty, those who need our help. How does our Lenten journey motivate us to serve those we meet in our daily lives? Visit crsricebowl.org for more.

RECEIVING THE EUCHARIST Just a reminder that as the reception of the Body and Blood of Christ is an act of faith: A) One must be without mortal sin to receive; B) One must believe it is indeed the Body and Blood of Christ; C) One must be of appropriate age and formation in knowledge;

and D) One must be engaged in what is going on at Mass.

THE ACT OF RECEPTION One comes up before the minister of the Hosts and bows. You are bowing to the presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. You may either receive on the tongue or in the hand. You may kneel or stand. Regardless, once you have bowed, either stick your tongue slightly out or place your right hand over your left hand. Once the minister has said, “The Body of Christ,” an audible “Amen” must be said. I am instructing our ministers to withhold the host and cup until the Amen is said. One then moves to the Precious Blood. Even if one is not receiving, one stops and bows before continuing on. If one receives the Chalice, the same audible “Amen” is to be said upon hearing “The Blood of Christ.” It is wholly inappropriate to receive the Eucharist and not go back to the pew. An act of thanksgiving to God is to be done in recognition for what one has received.
