April 14, 2019

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Palm Sunday is a strange day in our liturgical calendar. We

begin by waving palms, but somewhere in the middle, we call

for Jesus to be crucified. We celebrate today an equally

paradoxical God, one who comes to save through suffering.

"I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out!" Jesus,

who so often in the Gospels tries to hide his true identity, speaks

thunderously to the Pharisees who would still the rejoicing

crowd. At the Last Supper, Jesus confirms the Messianic

promise to his disciples, saying "I confer a kingdom on you, just

as my Father has conferred one on me." Yet, before the night is

over, Jesus has been betrayed.

We hear the tragedy unfold in Luke's Passion narrative. Jesus is

abused by the council of elders, denied by Peter, whipped by

Roman soldiers, and condemned to death by Pilate. But what

else do we see? Jesus heals someone who came to arrest him,

forgives his torturers, promises a repentant man paradise, and -

by his loving endurance - converts a centurion at the foot of the

cross. Jesus is both Redeemer of the World and Suffering

Servant. In taking on the mantle of Messiah, Jesus does not only

receive our praise and our accolades, but he bears our burdens

and sins and does so with the deepest love. He may go about our

salvation in a paradoxical way, but he is dearer to our own

suffering hearts for it. This week, we remember that no sorrow

of our own is beyond the reach of the compassion of God.

Estados Unidos, el periodo de tiempo para cumplir con

este proceso se extendió para incluir el periodo que

comienza desde el Primer domingo de Cuaresma hasta la

celebración de Pentecostés, que este año es el 9 de junio de

Domingo de Ramos

"¡Hosanna al hijo de

David! ¡Bendito sea el que

viene en el nombre del

Señor! ¡Hosanna en lo más

alto de los cielos!"

(Mateo 21:9). Hoy inicia la Semana Santa o Semana Mayor. En este

hermoso tiempo la Iglesia en su liturgia nos invita a tener la

oportunidad de detenernos en nuestro camino para

reflexionar en las cosas que de verdad valen la pena. Hoy,

se conmemora la entrada triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén.

Estamos a punto de celebrar los misterios de la pasión,

muerte y resurrección de nuestro único Salvador. En esta

Semana Santa, busquemos momentos apropiados para

agradecer al Señor todo lo que ha hecho por nosotros.

¿Con qué disposición podremos vivir esta Semana Santa?

¿Qué podremos aportar por los más necesitados? El Papa

Francisco nos invita a lo siguiente:

Jesús entra en Jerusalén. La muchedumbre de los

discípulos lo acompañan festivamente, se extienden los

mantos ante él, se habla de los prodigios que ha hecho, se

eleva un grito de alabanza: ¡Bendito el que viene como rey,

en nombre del Señor! ¡Paz en el cielo y gloria en lo

alto!» (Lucas 19,38). Gentío, fiesta, alabanza, bendición,

paz; Se respira un clima de alegría. Jesús ha despertado en

el corazón tantas esperanzas, sobre todo entre la gente

humilde, simple, pobre, olvidada, esa que no cuenta a los

ojos del mundo. Él ha sabido comprender las miserias

humanas, ha mostrado el rostro de misericordia de Dios y

se ha inclinado para curar el cuerpo y el alma.

¿Qué piensas de estas palabras del Papa? La respuesta debe

ser un compromiso entre Jesús y tú.
