EQUAL TO GOD JESUS EMPTIED HIMSELF
AND TOOK THE HUMAN FORM OF A SLAVE
TO THE POINT OF DEATH ON A CROSS
COMPLETELY
CONVINCED OF THE
GOSPEL MESSAGE
Our charismatic, confident pope,
Francis, leads Holy Week asking
the church to live beyond is
customary organic and hierarchical
institution to be a people on the
way to God, the pilgrim and
evangelizing people that always
exceeds ritual expression – a
Church that has the mercy of God
as its central theme and activity.
“With all my heart I ask you to
read the Beatitudes as your plan of
action.
Matthew 25 tells us
specifically what we have to do”
says Pope Francis.
We are created in the image and
likeness of God who extended
mercy to Christ who suffered on
the cross as a slave charged with
treason to the Roman emperor and
an outspoken prophet to the temple
priests.
Like St. Francis of Assisi, Pope
Francis combines continuity with the
great tradition of the Church with
renewal and ever new surprises. He
wants “a poor church for the poor.”
The pope’s radical program involves
all of us walking the via cruces,
humble and devout, to move
continents and mountains by a
revolution of tenderness and love.
Palm Sunday is the origin of this
Gospel as a way forward, a revolution
of mercy. We welcome Jesus to our
city as he takes the form of the victims
of neighborhood drive-by shootings,
car-jackings, and heroine youth. Our
advocacy efforts will be blessed by
the Father’s mercy in our time.
¿
É
Entramos ahora en
la
semana
más
importante del año
cristiano,
la
celebración de los misterios de la
Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de
Cristo; es importante, lógicamente,
porque es la conmemoración de los
misterios de salvación cristianos. Es
mucho más que un simple recuerdo o
una representación de los hachos; es
vivir lo que está ocurriendo, aquí y
ahora, en nuestras vidas. La Pasión
de Cristo encierra todo lo humano.
Por su Encarnación, Cristo asumió
todo lo humano: dolores alegrías,
sufrimientos, angustias y renovación
de vida. La Semana Santa, por lo
tanto, nos hace entrar de nuevo en
nuestra más profunda identidad.
Un niño le preguntó una vez a su
mamá por qué cada Viernes Santo
había que hacer lo mismo: el Vía
Crucis y toda la reflexión sobre la
Pasión. Inmediatamente, la mamá
respondió: “Porque esto es quienes
somos”. Es toda nuestra vida, la de
ahora y la eterna; es nuestra más
profunda
identidad;
es
donde
encontramos la respuesta a todos
nuestros interrogantes.

As we move along in our Lenten journey
and recall Christ's passion today, I'd like to
share a quote from Pope Francis that
speaks to our tough times, our desert
moments, and how important our witness
and hope is for others:
"In the desert people of faith are needed who, by
the example of their own lives, point out the way to
the Promised Land and keep hope alive. In these
situations we are called to be living sources of
water from which others can drink. At times, this
becomes a heavy cross, but it was from the cross,
from his pierced side, that our Lord gave himself to
us as a source of living water. Let us not allow
ourselves to be robbed of hope!" (Evangelii
Guadium # 86)
How is God asking you to be a source of life and
hope for someone this week?
Blessings, Sr. Lorraine

Mensaje de
Hna Lorraine
Mientras avanzamos en nuestra caminata
cuaresmal y recordamos de la pasión de Cristo
hoy, me gustaría compartir una cita del Papa
Francisco que habla de nuestros tiempos
difíciles, nuestros momentos de desierto, y sobre
cómo tan importante son nuestro testimonio y
nuestra esperanza para otros:
"En el desierto se necesitan sobre todo personas
de fe que, con su propia vida, indiquen el camino
hacia la Tierra Prometida y de esta forma
mantengan viva la esperanza. En todo caso, allí
estamos llamados a ser personas-cántaros para
dar de beber a los demás. A veces el cántaro se
convierte en una pesada cruz, pero fue
precisamente en la cruz donde, traspasado, el
Señor se nos entregó como fuente de agua viva.
No nos dejemos robar la esperanza!" (Evangelii
Guadium # 86)
Como Dios te pide ser una fuente de vida y
esperanza para alguien ésta semana?
Bendiciones,Hna. Lorraine

Archbishop Oscar Romero will
be recognized as Blessed on

The Vatican announcement states “Archbishop
Romero was killed in hatred of the faith—and
not for purely political reasons.
The
beatification is a gift from heaven that we all
walk the path of justice and peace.”
