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.

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.
