St. Anthony of Padua Church ~ www.sapparish.org ~ Palm Sunday ~ April 9, 2017

The cross of shame in Jesus’ time has become for us the sign of

victory over sin and death. Through his perfect sacrifice of love

on the cross, Jesus won for-

giveness for our sins and

defeated the power of sin and evil. By so doing, Jesus transformed the

cross from an instrument of death into the tree of life and source of our

salvation.

We experience all kinds of emotions in today’s readings. The joyous

crowd becomes an angry and vengeful crowd. Jesus’ disciples betray,

deny or run away from him. The women, however, remain strong even

though their hearts are being torn out. The heavens weep as Jesus emp-

ties himself out, obedient to the point of death – death on a cross.

Social Apostolate:

Please bring donations of shampoo,

conditioner, liquid soap, body lotion,

tooth paste/brush, mouthwash and new

socks to the Holy Thursday liturgy.

You will be asked to bring the donation

to the altar during the collection. Items

and needy that are served each week at

St. Anthony of Padua.

Prayer for Holy Week

God of such unwavering love,

how do I "celebrate"

the passion and death of Jesus?

I often want to look the other way

and not watch, not stay with Jesus

in his suffering.

Give me the strength

to see his love with honesty and

compassion and to feel deeply

your own forgiveness and mercy

for me. Help me to understand

how to "celebrate" this week.

I want be able to bring

my weaknesses and imperfections

with me as I journey with Jesus

this week, so aware of his love.

Amen!

Domingo de Ramos ~ 9 de Abril de 2017 ~ Palm Sunday

La cruz de la vergüenza en el tiempo de Jesús se ha convertido

para nosotros en el signo de la

victoria sobre el pecado y la

muerte. A través de su sacrificio perfecto de amor en la cruz, Jesús ganó el

perdón por nuestros pecados y derrotó el poder del pecado y el mal. Al hacer

esto, Jesús transformó la cruz de un instrumento de muerte en el árbol de vida y

fuente de nuestra salvación. Experimentamos todo tipo de emociones en las

lecturas de hoy. La alegre multitud se convierte en una multitud enojada y

vengativa. Los discípulos de Jesús traicionan, niegan o huyen de él. Las

mujeres, sin embargo, siguen siendo fuertes aunque sus corazones están siendo

arrancados. Los cielos lloran mientras Jesús se vacía, obediente hasta el punto

de la muerte - la muerte en una cruz.

Operación CRS Taza de arroz:

Si olvidó traer de vuelta su Taza de

Arroz, puede hacerlo el Jueves Santo o

el próximo fin de semana. ¡Gracias por

participar!

durante la recolección. Los artículos

recogidos serán distribuidos a los

Abrazar la cruz de Jesús conduce a la vida eterna.

Párrafo ~ 2302

Al recordar el mandamiento, "No

matarás", nuestro Señor pidió paz de

corazón y denunció la ira y el odio

asesinos como inmoral. La ira es un

deseo de venganza. "Desear venganza en

Para hacer mal a alguien que debe ser

castigado es ilícito ", pero es digno de

elogio imponer la restitución" para

corregir los vicios y mantener la justicia

". Si la ira llega al punto de un deseo

deliberado de matar o Gravemente herida

a un vecino, es gravemente contra la

caridad; Es un pecado mortal. El Señor

dice: "Todo el que se enoje con su

hermano estará sujeto al juicio".

Palm Sunday

Catechism of the Catholic Church ~ 2302 By recalling the commandment, "You shall not kill," our Lord asked

for peace of heart and denounced murderous anger and hatred as

immoral. Anger is a desire for revenge. "To desire vengeance in

order to do evil to someone who should be punished is illicit," but it

is praiseworthy to impose restitution "to correct vices and maintain

justice." If anger reaches the point of a deliberate desire to kill or

seriously wound a neighbor, it is gravely against charity; it is a mortal

sin. The Lord says, "Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be

liable to judgment."

But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to

judgment, and whoever says to his brother,‘Raqa’, will be

answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool’, will be

liable to fiery Gehenna. Matthew 5:22

Pero yo os digo que cualquiera que se enoje con su hermano será

sujeto de juicio, y el que le diga a su hermano: Raqa, será

Respondiendo al Sanedrín, y cualquiera que diga: "Tonto", estará

sujeto a la ardiente Gehenna. Mateo 5:22

Prayer for Priests

Dear Lord,

We pray that the

Blessed Mother will

wrap her mantle of

protection around

Your priests and

through her interces-

sion may they be

strengthened in their

ministry.

We pray that Mary

will guide Your priests,

dear Lord, to follow

her own words, “Do

whatever He tells you”.

May Your priests have

the heart of St. Joseph,

Mary’s most chaste

spouse. May the

Blessed Mother’s own

pierced heart inspire

them to embrace all

who suffer at the foot

of the holy cross for the

love of God the Father.

May Your priests be

Holy, as you are holy,

And through the power

of the Holy Spirit,

may they be filled with

the fire of Your love

seeking nothing but

Your greater glory

and the salvation of

souls. Amen!

St. John Vianney,

Pray for us!
