PASIÓN
La palabra “pasión” conlleva un profundo y determinado compromiso. Pero es interesante que también tiene relación a la pasividad. La persona profundamente apasionada del relato evangélico de Lucas es Jesús. Parece pasivo pero no lo es. Está totalmente
consciente de sí mismo y totalmente presente al día que comienza el jueves por la noche
en su última cena con los apóstoles y termina con su entierro antes de la puesta del sol
el día siguiente. Entonces le sigue el largo silencio del sábado.
El relato de la pasión se lee entero y sin pausa el Domingo de Ramos en la Pasión. Esta
historia, que se encuentra en cada uno de los evangelios, no cambia. Somos nosotros los
que cambiamos. Cada año, nos presentamos con otro año de historia para escuchar y
hacerle caso a esta historia que tanta falta nos hace. La vida nos traquetea y de nuevo
volvemos a los relatos de la Pasión para aprender a seguirle.

PASSION
The word “passion” connotes deep, focused engagement. It also relates to passivity,
interestingly. The deeply passionate person in the Gospel narrative from Luke is Jesus.
He appears passive, but he is not. He is wholly self-possessed and wholly present for the
one day that begins on Thursday evening at his last meal with his apostles and ends with
his burial before sunset the next day. Then follows the long Sabbath silence.
The narrative of the Passion is read whole and without pause on the Palm Sunday of the
Passion. This story, found in each of the Gospels, is unchanging. We are the ones who
change. Each year, we bring ourselves with another year’s history to hear and heed the
story we so badly need. Life has its way with us, and we look again to the Passion narratives to learn to follow.

Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
M
isericordiae Vultus: The Face of Mercy is Pope Francis’ official decree announcing this Jubilee Year of
Mercy. But Francis had already declared that Jesus “has
shown the face of God’s mercy” back in 2013 on his first
Palm Sunday as pope. Francis described Luke’s account of
Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem: “Crowds, celebrating, praise,
blessing, peace: joy fills the air. Jesus has awakened great
hopes, especially in the hearts of the simple, the humble, the
poor, the forgotten, those who do not matter in the eyes of
the world. He understands human sufferings . . . has bent
down to heal body and soul.” Entering Jerusalem, Jesus
looks at all of us with love, Francis continued, at our sicknesses and sins. “A beautiful scene, full of light—the light of
the love of Jesus” (Pope Francis, Palm Sunday homily,
March 24, 2013). May this Jubilee Year’s Holy Week and
Triduum make us Jesus’ own light-bearers and love-givers to
all who long to see the Face of Mercy.

Domingo de Ramos “de la Pasión del Señor”
M
isericordiae Vultus: El rosto de la Misericordia es el
documento oficial (en este caso una Bula papal) anunciando este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia. Sin embargo, el
Domingo de Ramos de 2013, el Papa Francisco había anunciado que “Jesús ha mostrado el rostro de la misericordia de
Dios”. El Papa Francisco describe la historia del Evangelio
de Lucas donde Jesús entra en Jerusalén así: “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”. El
Papa Francisco sigue diciendo que Jesús al entrar a Jerusalén
mira a todos con amor en nuestras debilidades y pecados.
“Es una bella escena, llena de luz – la luz del amor de Jesús,
de su corazón –, de alegría, de fiesta” (Papa Francisco, homilía del Domingo de Ramos, 24 de marzo de 2013). ¡Qué la
Semana Santa y Triduo Pascual de este Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia nos hagan portadores de la luz de Jesús y mensajeros de amor a todos los que anhelan ver El rostro de la
Misericordia!

GOOD FRIDAY HOLY LAND COLLECTION
The daily news reminds us of the violence and instability
plaguing the Middle East, but we rarely hear of the shrinking
Christian community there, a community that struggles to
remain in the land of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection.
On Good Friday, our parish will take up the annual Good
Friday Collection for the Holy Land. Please help support our
brothers and sisters in the Holy Land by giving to Good Friday’s special collection. This Pontifical collection allows the
Franciscans and others to continue caring for Christianity’s
holiest sites and for God’s people in the Holy Land. Please
be generous in your support.

LENTEN REGULATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In accordance with the provisions of Canon law (cf. Canons
1249-1253) as implemented by the National Conference of
Catholic Bishops for the United States, the following regulations are to be observed by the Catholics in the Diocese of
Orange in the penitential practices:
1.
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
THURSDAY, MARCH 21
The Parish Perpetual Day of Adoration is the 21st day of the
month immediately after the morning Mass until 6:15 am the
following morning. Come and spend some quiet time with the
Lord.
ADORACIÓN PERPETUA DEL SANTÍSIMO SACRAMENTO
JUEVES, 21 DE MARZO
2.
3.
El día de Adoración Perpetua del Santísimo Sacramento es el 21
del mes. Adoración comienza después de la Misa de la mañana
hasta las 6:15 am de la mañana siguiente. Venga y dedique un
poco de tiempo a solas con el Señor.
It is to be noted for all that the faithful are bound to do
penance and, as a specification of this obligation by the
Church, some form of abstinence by those 14 years of
age and older is to be observed on all Fridays throughout
the year.
Everyone 14 years of age and older is bound to abstain
from meat on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of
Lent. If for some serious reason a person must eat meat
on a Friday in Lent, some other form of self-sacrifice
should be performed.
Everyone who is at least 18 years of age and not yet 60
is bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
a. On these two days of fast only one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain
strength may be taken, but together they should not
equal another full meal. Eating between meals on
these days is not permitted, but liquids are allowed.
b. Where health or ability to work would be seriously
affected, the law does not oblige.

the first Thursday of the month and are active in several
fundraisers and community activities. These include La Purisima Fish Fry, Holy Family Fiesta, golf tournament, OLSF
basketball free throw contest for students, and meal preparation for Isaiah House.
