Jesus, Shepherd of Souls Parish Parroquia Jesús, Pastor de Almas

Este fin de semana iniciamos unos de los días más sagrados en la Iglesia Católica; Semana Santa, que es cuando celebramos con gran devoción la Salvación que nos trajo Jesucristo a través del Misterio Pascual.

Nos hemos estado preparando en un ambiente de penitencia y otras prácticas cuaresmales. Con la celebración del Domingo de Ramos recordamos la entrada triunfal de Jesús a la ciudad de Jerusalén como el Mesías prometido.

Aquí en Jesús, Pastor de Almas celebramos estos importantes días con gran solemnidad. Es durante el Triduo Pascual cuando experimentamos unidos en la oración el sentido profundo de las celebraciones de la Misa de la Última Cena, los servicios del Viernes Santo y la Vigilia Pascual.

La belleza y el carácter sagrado de estas celebraciones es posible gracias a la colaboración y dedicación de todos en nuestra parroquia. Tenemos a los que sirven junto al altar prestando mucha atención a todo lo que se necesita durante los servicios, lectores que proclaman la palabra de Dios, ujieres y voluntarios que dan las direcciones correctas, músicos que enriquecen nuestras liturgias y nuestro equipo de ambientación que decora nuestras iglesias.

Continuemos la celebración de la Semana Santa con un espíritu de oración y agradeciendo a Dios por Su Infinito Amor representado en la persona de Jesucristo Nuestro Señor y Salvador.

¡Que tengan una Bendecida Semana Santa!

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PARROCO

This weekend we start one of the most Sacred times in our Catholic Church; Holy Week, when we celebrate with great devotion the Salvation brought to us by Jesus Christ through His Paschal Mystery.

We have been preparing ourselves in an environment of penance and other Lenten practices. With the celebration of Palm Sunday we remember the triumphant entrance of Jesus to the city of Jerusalem as the promised Messiah.

Here at Jesus, Shepherd of Souls we celebrate these important days with great solemnity. It is during the Easter Triduum that we experience united in prayer the deep meaning of the celebrations of The Mass of the Last Supper, the Good Friday services and the Easter Vigil.

The beauty and sacredness of these celebrations is made possible by the collaboration and dedication of all in our parish. We have those serving by the altar paying close attention to all that is needed during the services, Lectors proclaiming the word of God, Ushers and Volunteers giving the right directions, Musicians enriching our liturgies and our Environment team decorating our churches.

Let us continue the celebration of Holy Week with a prayerful spirit and thanking God for His Infinite Love represented in the person of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior.

Have a Blessed Holy Week!

OBITUARY - JESUS, THE CHRIST OBITUARIES FROM CALVARY

FRIDAY EVENING EDITION

JESUS OF NAZARETH,

KING OF THE JEWS,

CRUCIFIED FOR BLASPHEMY CALVARY- Jesus Christ, 33, of Nazareth, died today on Mount Calvary, also known as Golgotha, the Place of the Skull. Betrayed by the Apostle Judas and rejected by His own people, Jesus was crucified by the Romans under the orders of Governor Pontius Pilate. Causes of death were crucifixion, extreme exhaustion, severe torture and loss of blood.

A descendant of Abraham, Jesus Christ was a member of the House of David. He was the son of the late Joseph, a carpenter, and Mary, His devoted Mother. Born in a stable in Bethlehem, Judea, Jesus is survived by His Mother, Mary; His faithful Apostles; numerous disciples and many other followers.

Jesus was self-educated and spent most of His adult life working as a Teacher. Jesus also occasionally worked as a Medical Doctor and it is reported that He healed thousands of patients. Until the time of His death, Jesus was teaching, preaching and sharing The Good News, healing the sick, touching the lonely, feeding the hungry, helping the poor and raising the dead.

Jesus was also noted for telling parables about His Father’s Kingdom and performing miracles amongst those who were suffering. These signs included feeding thousands of followers with only five loaves of bread and two fish as well as restoring the eyesight to a man born blind. On the day before His death, Jesus held a Last Supper celebrating the Passover Feast, at which He foretold the end of His Earthly Ministry.

His body was quickly buried in a stone grave generously donated by Joseph of Arimathea, a loyal friend of the family. By order of Pontius Pilate, a boulder was rolled in front of the tomb and Roman soldiers were put on guard. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that everyone try to live as Jesus did: by loving everyone- even enemies- unconditionally. Donations may be sent to anyone in need.

Pray for the sick... Oremos por los enfermos...

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Creo, Jesús mío, que estás real y verdaderamente en el cielo y en el San simo Sacramento del Altar.

Os amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo vivamente recibirte dentro de mi alma, pero no pudiendo hacerlo ahora sacramentalmente, venid al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya os hubiese recibido, os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti.

Amén

Prayer to Christ the Healer In the comfort of your love, I pour out to you, my Savior, The memories that haunt me, the anxie es that perplex me, the fears that s fle me, the sickness that prevails upon me, and the frustra ons of all the pain that weaves about within me.

Lord, help me to see your peace in my turmoil, your compassion in my sorrow, your forgiveness in my weakness, and your love in my need.

Touch me, O Lord, with your healing power and strength. Amen.

Oración a Cristo el Sanador En el consuelo de tu amor, me abro a , mi Salvador, Los recuerdos que me atormentan, las ansiedades que me dejan perplejo, los miedos que me ahogan, la enfermedad que se apodera de mí y las frustraciones de todo el dolor que se teje dentro de mí.

Señor, ayúdame a ver tu paz en mi confusión, tu compasión en mi dolor, tu perdón en mi debilidad y tu amor en mi necesidad.

Tócame, oh Señor, con tu poder y fuerza sanadores.

Amén.
