Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord April 9, 2017

God greatly exalted [Christ] and bestowed on him the name which is above every name.

-- Philippians 2:9

St Joseph Catholic Church † Iglesia Catolica San Jose

“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” -St. Jerome

While making progress in spiritual life, it becomes obvious that self-love is more harmful to a person than anything else. Normally in proportion to the love and affection you have for something, it will cling to you. If your love is pure, simple and well ordered, you will not be a slave to anything. Not to lose your freedom, avoid coveting and the desire to possess what is not essential. After achieving that spirit of freedom, we must consciously, deliberately, and with our whole heart, commit ourselves to the Lord. We become free from unnecessary cares. We must resign to the will of the Lord. The tendency to seek this or that, desire to be in this place or that place, to have more ease and pleasure, will not help one to be free from care. Some defect will be found in everything and everywhere someone will vex you. At this stage we see a tendency for the possession of earthly things which will not help. For spiritual progress one has to despise them and root out the desire for them from the heart. These include money, wealth, ambition for honor and empty praise, all of which will pass away with this world. If our hearts are not well founded, that is not founded in the Lord, when occasion comes we will change. For this very reason people walk away from faith with slight provocations. Their religious practices were not grounded in the Lord. They did not connect with Him. Hence they could not survive simple crisis and remain closer to the Lord.. We must constantly pray to cleanse ourselves with the grace of the Holy Spirit. We must pray for the grace to root out all vain care, anxiety, and desires for the perishable. We must pray for the heavenly wisdom to learn above all else to seek and find Him, to enjoy and love Him more than anything. We need special grace to avoid flatterer and to bear with those who disagree with us. This will help our spiritual journey on the right path. At this level we will not take to heart when someone talks badly about us or say unpleasant things to us. When we walk in the Spirit, we will remain silent in evil times and turn inwardly the Lord so that we will not be disturbed by human opinions and our peace will not depend on the words of men. We will find true peace and glory in the Lord. We realize that all unrest and distraction of the senses arise out of disorderly love and vain fear. Spirituality is not just a set of sentimental exercises. We all have to go through the purifying process in this life. We have to be cautious to avoid the tendency to seek human consolation. When we are troubled, when our hearts are not at rest, and when we are greatly afflicted by these present sufferings, we must fly to the Lord for comfort. Humbled and freed by Him, we will become patient. We will not be afraid however much we may be distressed. Instead of complaining and blaming others, we will pray with joy that “thy will be done” not mine. This is how we truly follow Jesus and identify with His sufferings for our salvation. Our sufferings become redemptive. We must train our children to grow with such devotional attitude every day. God bless you all.

Mientras progresamos en la vida espiritual, es evidente que el amor propio es más perjudicial para una persona que cualquier otra cosa. Normalmente, en proporción al amor y afecto que tiene por algo, se aferra a uno mismo. Si tu amor es puro, simple y bien ordenado, no serás esclavo de nada. No perder tu libertad, evitar la codicia y el deseo de poseer lo que no es esencial. Después de lograr ese espíritu de libertad, debemos conscientemente, deliberadamente y con todo nuestro corazón, comprometernos con el Señor. Nos libramos de los cuidados innecesarios. Debemos resignarnos a la voluntad del Señor. La tendencia a buscar esto o aquello, el deseo de estar en este lugar o ese lugar, de tener más facilidad y placer, no ayudará a uno a estar libre de cuidado. Algún defecto se encontrará en todo y en todas partes alguien te molestará. En esta etapa vemos una tendencia a la posesión de cosas terrenales que no ayudará. Para el progreso espiritual uno tiene que despreciarlos y arraigar el deseo para ellos desde el corazón. Estos incluyen el dinero, la riqueza, la ambición de honor y vana alabanza, todo lo cual pasará con este mundo. Si nuestros corazones no están bien fundados, eso no está fundado en el Señor, cuando llegue la ocasión cambiaremos. Por esta misma razón la gente se aleja de la fe con ligeras provocaciones. Sus prácticas religiosas no estaban basadas en el Señor. No se conectaron con Él. Por lo tanto, no podrían sobrevivir crisis simples y permanecer más cerca del Señor. Debemos orar constantemente para limpiarnos con la gracia del Espíritu Santo. Debemos orar por la gracia para extirpar toda vana atención, ansiedad y deseos de los perecederos. Debemos orar por la sabiduría celestial para aprender sobre todo a buscarlo y encontrarlo, para disfrutarlo y amarlo más que nada. Necesitamos una gracia especial para evitar el adulador y para soportar con aquellos que no están de acuerdo con nosotros. Esto ayudará a nuestro viaje espiritual en el camino correcto. En este nivel no vamos a tomar a pecho cuando alguien habla mal de nosotros o decir cosas desagradables para nosotros. Cuando andamos en el Espíritu, permaneceremos en silencio en tiempos malos y nos volveremos interiormente al Señor para que no seamos perturbados por las opiniones humanas y nuestra paz no dependerá de las palabras de los hombres. Encontraremos la verdadera paz y gloria en el Señor. Nos damos cuenta de que toda inquietud y distracción de los sentidos surgen del amor desordenado y del vano temor. La espiritualidad no es sólo un conjunto de ejercicios sentimentales. Todos tenemos que pasar por el proceso de purificación en esta vida. Tenemos que ser cautelosos para evitar la tendencia a buscar el consuelo humano. Cuando estamos atribulados, cuando nuestros corazones no están en reposo, y cuando estamos muy afligidos por estos sufrimientos actuales, debemos volar al Señor para consuelo. Humillados y liberados por Él, seremos pacientes. No tendremos miedo por mucho que nos sintamos angustiados. En lugar de quejarnos y culpar a los demás, oraremos con alegría que "tu voluntad sea hecha" no la mía. Así es como realmente seguimos a Jesús y nos dentificamos con Sus sufrimientos por nuestra salvación. Nuestros sufrimientos se vuelven redentores. Debemos entrenar a nuestros hijos a crecer con tal actitud devocional todos los días. Dios los bendiga a todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El Viernes Santo es el día más impresionante que se conmemora en el calendario cristiano. Es el día en que Jesús, muriendo en la cruz, se revela al mismo tiempo como Hijo del Hombre e Hijo de Dios. Los hispanos conmemoramos este día no sólo con la liturgia oficial de la Iglesia, sino también con nuestras devociones populares como el Vía crucis en vivo, el Pésame a la Virgen y el sermón de las Siete Palabras. Esta última devoción es también conocida como el Sermón de tres horas y es mayormente usada por las Iglesias protestantes, sin embargo, tiene su origen gracias al sacerdote Jesuita Francisco del Castillo, en Perú. Como Jesús, este santo varón dedicó toda su vida a los pobres y marginados. El Viernes Santo de 1660, mientras predicaba en la iglesia de Nuestra de Señora de los Desamparados, ante la efigie del Señor en agonía, decidió hacer una comparación del sufrimiento de Cristo al sufrimiento de los desampa-rados, llamando a los cristianos al apostolado de caridad y justicia. Las siete últimas palabras de Jesucristo deben movernos al servicio de los desamparados. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Now we have come to the center of the Christian year, beginning with today, Passion Sunday, Holy Week, and culminating in the Pasch, the Sacred Triduum. Some have called the culminating event in this week’s journey of faith “The Three Days of Easter.” The origins of many of our observances, including today’s blessing of palms and solemn entry into the church, hearken back to old Jerusalem. In the late fourth century, a woman living a consecrated life in southern France made a four-year pilgrimage to Jerusalem. There, she encountered the rich liturgies of the city, bursting with Christians. She was a keen observer, and fortunately for us wrote vivid letters of her experience to a circle of women friends she calls her sisters. By the time of her journey, it is clear that even some catechumens were undertaking the dangerous journey so that they could be formed at the very site of the events of Christ’s passion and rising. At the heart of the pilgrim experience were processions, such as today’s joyous procession to the Mount of Olives, and brilliant catechesis from the bishop every day, as well as intense fasting and prayer. When you resolve to keep this week holy in your own life, and especially when you commit to participate in the full Triduum with worship in church and fasting at home, a very ancient tradition is within your grasp. Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PARA VER A CRISTO CLARAMENTE Hoy comenzamos viendo a través de las puertas de Jerusalén, vemos a la multitud, aclamando y agitando ramos de olivo en el aire. Es una atmósfera de júbilo, triunfo y celebración. Podemos distraernos o embelesarnos con la escena y no ver claramente las características de Jesús cuando entra. Pero nuestras lecturas de Isaías y la carta de Pablo a los filipenses aclaran estas características. Él es el Siervo que Sufre, manso y callado ante sus captores y perseguidores; es la mismísima imagen del Dios invisible, sin embargo, no se aferrará a la igualdad con Dios antes de sufrir su enfrentamiento final en humildad. Isaías y Pablo nos ayudan a “ver al Cordero de Dios” antes de oír el relato de su mayor y último enfrentamiento. Es importante que veamos a Cristo claramente antes de oír el relato de su Pasión, porque nosotros –su Cuerpo por medio del Bautismo, la Iglesia– somos su rostro. Debemos, junto con él, pasar por este tiempo de sufrimiento para que podamos, también junto con él, pasar por su triunfo final. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

SEEING CHRIST CLEARLY We start today looking through the portals of Jerusalem, seeing crowds of people, cheering and waving palm branches in the air. The whole atmosphere is one of joy, triumph, and celebration. We can get distracted or enthralled by the scene, and not see clearly the features of Jesus as he enters. But our readings from Isaiah and Paul’s letter to the Philippians clarify his features for us. He is the Suffering Servant, meek and mute before his captors and persecutors; he is the very image of the unseen God, yet will not clutch at equality with God before he endures his final confrontation in humility. Isaiah and Paul help us “behold the Lamb of God” before we hear the story of his final and greatest confrontation. It is important that we see Christ clearly before we hear the account of his passion, for we—his Body through baptism, the church—now bear his face. We must, with him, enter into this time of trial so we can, also with him, enter into his final triumph. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
