Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord

Each year as we begin Holy Week, I spend some time

wondering how Jesus made it through this week. It

was an emotional roller coaster. On Palm Sunday He

is hailed as a king and on Good Friday He is crucified

as a thief. He pours out everything until nothing is left.

As I journey through this week, I feel this same roller

coaster physically, emotionally and spiritually. To be

honest, by the evening of Easter Sunday, I do not have

much left in the tank. I too try to pour out every drop

of energy. After an Easter meal with my family, I

always fall asleep. How did Jesus do it?

Meister Eckhart is a Dominican priest of who died

around 1328. He said, “Wisdom (holiness) consists in

doing the next thing you have to do, doing it with your

whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.” We have

been striving this Lent to grow closer to God by

growing in holiness by acts of prayer, fasting and

almsgiving. This may be the week that God grants us a

special grace. Let yourself be poured out by giving

everything to the Lord who gives everything to us.

God invites us to dive into each day of the greatest

love story when he pours out his life-blood from the

Cross. Put yourself into the Passion of Jesus this Holy

Week. You may find that the gift you get comes from

giving all.

Fr. Jeff

Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor

Cada año, cuando comenzamos la Semana Santa, paso

un tiempo preguntándome cómo pasó Jesús esta sema-

na. Fue una montaña rusa emocional. El Domingo de

Ramos es aclamado como rey y el Viernes Santo es

crucificado como ladrón. Él derrama todo hasta que no

quede nada. Mientras viajo esta semana, siento esta

misma montaña rusa física, emocional y espir-

itualmente. Para ser honesto, en la tarde del Domingo

de Pascua, no me queda mucho en el tanque. Yo

también trato de derramar cada gota de energía.

Después de una comida de Pascua con mi familia,

siempre me quedo dormido. ¿Cómo lo hizo Jesús?

Meister Eckhart es un sacerdote dominico que murió

alrededor de 1328. Dijo: "La sabiduría (santidad)

consiste en hacer lo siguiente que tienes que hacer,

hacerlo con todo tu corazón y encontrar deleite en

hacerlo". Hemos estado esforzándonos en esta Cuar-

esma para crecer más cerca de Dios al crecer en san-

tidad mediante actos de oración, ayuno y limosna. Es-

ta puede ser la semana en que Dios nos conceda una

gracia especial. Déjate derramar dando todo al Señor

que nos da todo. Dios nos invita a sumergirnos en ca-

da día de la mayor historia de amor cuando derrama su

sangre de la Cruz. Ponte en la Pasión de Jesús esta

Semana Santa. Puede encontrar que el obsequio que

recibe proviene de darlo todo.

Padre Jeff

Prayer: A longing for Home

Shelter us, O Lord, and give us the compassion and knowledge to help others in their search for shelter.

Protect us, O Lord, from darkness, and give us the wisdom and skills to protect others who live in unsafe and un-healthy housing and longing for the light.

Bless us, O Lord, with homes that make comfort and joy realities for our families, and give us the grace to ensure this for all families.
