From Pastors Desk
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Before anything else is said, blessed palms will be distributed after Easter, after we have been given permission to reopen and begin life as usual. There is no way to distribute palms without the risk of spreading the Corona virus, and so, the diocese has instructed all parishes to refrain from giving them out on Palm Sunday itself. That being said, I am attempting to hook up a system so that Masses can be watched online, though I have to admit that I am not an electronics wiz, and it is going to take some effort to get there. Three weeks into this period of closure, and it seems like months since we have been able to come together to worship, to talk, to enjoy each other’s humanity. As I mentioned in last week’s col-umn, I have been celebrating the Mass in my room, since it seemed strange to celebrate without anybody present to respond to the various invitations to prayer. But let’s see if I can break the fourth wall and have some interaction with some of you online. Stay tuned to the parish website for details. Of course, this Sunday is Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, the final days of our Lenten journey, when we can just see the end of the period of preparation and sacrifice. We are in that final stretch when the glory of the Resurrection awaits us, just around the bend, and unlike the government, the Church is not going to extend our period of Lent. We have almost arrived at the celebration of Easter Joy, when we will push away the tears of anguish brought on by the suffering and death of Christ, to realize that Christ has conquered death itself. Before we get there, we experience Holy Week and the encounter with Christ and His Church during these days. First off, today’s feast of Passion Sunday. Many of us come to church and receive the palms, sit there and try to follow along with the Passion Narra-tive, waiting for those moments when we are to respond. Some people are very forceful in their proclamation of “CRUCIFY HIM!” and being the person standing in for Christ, it can be a little disheartening to have your parishioners calling for your execution, but it is also a blessing to be able to identify so closely with Jesus in these final hours. For the past two years we have celebrated Tene-brae together, and hopefully we will again experience this traditional prayer service on the Wednesday of Holy Week. On Holy Thursday morning, the priests of the diocese, along with many deacons and laity, normally come to the Cathedral of St. Agnes, to join Bishop Barres for the Chrism Mass. This year it will be broadcast on Catholic Faith Network, but it will be a private celebration of the Mass, with minimal participation from anyone. This is a special time for the priests, as it is the celebration of the institution of the Ministerial Priesthood of Jesus Christ, and as such we priests would recite the promises we made at our ordina-tions. This year we will do it separately, sharing only a spiritual bond with our brother priests and bishops, but this will not dimin-ish the profession itself. That evening, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated throughout the world, and my brother priests will take bread and wine, as Christ did, and speaking the words He spoke the night before He was offered up as the Sacri-fice, we will celebrate the most Sacred of all things we possess, the Eucharist. Finally, on Good Friday, we will experience the Cross. And so much of our time this Lent has been filled with our own crosses, it seems almost cruel to have yet another one to endure. But we remember, that without the Cross, there can be no Resurrection, and we are an Easter people, patiently waiting and praying for the Resurrection and New Life. Pax, Fr. Henry

FIVE SIMPLE WAYS TO CELEBRATE HOLY WEEK AT HOME Create a simple prayer space in your home, and gather there to pray during the week. Palm Sunday: At your regular Mass time, read the fir st Palm Sunday Gospel (Mt 21:1–11) and meditate on or discuss what Jesus might be thinking as he enters Jerusalem for the last time. Holy Thursday: Bake bread for shar ing at dinner ; make a r itual of str ipping the dinner table of all cloths and decorations after dinner. Good Friday: Pray the Stations of the Cross at 3 p.m. Holy Saturday: In the morning, read Psalm 64 and break your Good Fr iday fast solemnly with a simple meal. Easter Sunday: Dress up the dinner table again. Include candles and crosses, so that the candy baskets aren’t the only festive items present. Sing Alleluia and read the Easter Gospel (Matthew 28:1-10) with solem-nity and joy. Look online for other suggestions for celebrating Holy Week at home, to deepen and enrich your experience at this time of social isolation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
HOLY WEEK AND THE PASCHAL TRIDUUM
Sunday, March 28 - Sunday, April 4, 2010
“The days of Jesus’ life-giving death and glorious resurrection are approaching, the hour he triumphed
over Satan’s pride, the time we celebrate the great event of our redemption” (Preface of the Lord’s Passion II,
Sacramentary). Thus the Church begins the one week of the year that we formally designate as “Holy.” Simple
rituals can link the domestic church to parish church and Church universal. Enthrone Sunday’s palms where
you pray, behind the family crucifix, even as part of front door decorations: “Christ reigns here,” they proclaim;
“all are welcome!” During the first three days of Holy Week, ready Easter clothes, prepare festal foods, clean
the house, beautify the yard. Late Holy Thursday afternoon, share Lent’s final meal before the Lord’s Supper
Mass. Pitcher, bowl, and towel make a fitting centerpiece; perhaps conclude the meal by washing each other’s
feet. On Good Friday, observe the paschal fast from food—from TV and computer, too! Then come to Holy
Saturday’s Vigil with mind clear, stomach empty, and heart full of “holy anticipation” that bursts into living
flame when the new fire is kindled.

April 5, 2020 - Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
HOSANNA!
“Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the
highest” (Matthew 21:9). With these words the Church enters the holiest of weeks, commemorating the
passion, death, and resurrection of Christ. When the people of Jerusalem cried out with their “hosannas,”
they were using an ancient Hebrew shout of acclamation that meant “Pray, save us.” The king to whom
they were shouting eventually would save them, but in a way that would be far from what they expected.
Salvation would come from the wood of the cross as Jesus hung there to bring freedom from sin and life
through death, opening the gates of heaven for all who put their faith and
trust in him.

5 de abril de 2020 - Domingo de Ramos “De la Pasión del Se-ñor”¡HOSANNA!
“¡Viva el Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en el cielo!” (Mateo 21:9). Con estas palabras la Iglesia entra en la semana más santa cuando conmemora la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo. Cuando el pueblo de Jerusalén gritó sus “hosannas”, estaba usando un antiguo grito de aclamación hebreo que significa “sálvanos ahora”. El rey a quien se lo gritaban los salva-ría, pero de una manera que sobrepasó sus expectativas. La salvación vendría del madero de la cruz del cual colgaba Jesús para traer libera-ción del pecado y vida por medio de la muerte, abriendo las puertas del cielo para todos los que ponen su fe y confianza en él.

Dicha tradición se inició gracias al fervor eucarístico de san Felipe Neri (1515-1595), motivando a la gente a que al visitar los templos para la adoración al Santísimo Sacramento también meditara los siete momentos o “visitas” que Jesús realizó la noche de su juicio. La meditación comienza precisamente en el huerto de los olivos para concluir en el Calvario. El hecho de que Jesús sea llevado de un lado a otro, se recuerda en un contexto de fe y adoración su presencia real en la sagrada Eucaristía. Para las visitas no hay un ritual establecido, no obstante, la práctica popular es rezar una estación al Santísimo Sacramento (Tres Padrenuestros, incluyendo Avemaría, Gloria al Padre y la jaculatoria eucarística) y luego dejar un momento de silen-cio para acompañar a Jesús en su agonía. La última visita debe ser en la parroquia doméstica.

Sleep ps for when COVID-19 anxiety causes restless nights ROCKVILLE CENTRE — Increased anxiety related to concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing periods of interrupted sleep or insomnia for some. Catholic Health Services (CHS) experts offer ps on how to cope, saying ge ng the proper amount of sleep each night is vital to making sure your immune system is at peak performance. They add, a good night’s sleep sharpens mental acuity and leads to reduced stress levels. “During periods of high stress, it’s crucial to get sufficient sleep, because it can increase our chances of minimizing the im-pact of COVID-19 or other ailments,” explains St. Charles Hospital’s Sleep Disorders Center Coordinator Brendan Duffy, RPSGT, CCSH. “Sufficient sleep can help us reduce the me frame of coronavirus and accelerate recovery.” A good night’s sleep is also vital for those living with illnesses such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease and depression. Experts say healthy sleep promotes be er management of these underlying condi ons. For most adults, generally, seven to eight hours of sleep is required to maintain op mal health. Adolescents need be-tween eight and ten hours of sleep nightly and younger children require between nine and eleven hours of sleep each day. For those having difficulty falling asleep, or achieving a proper night’s sleep, Duffy offers several ps. ● Reduce alcohol use and smoking ● Take a warm shower just prior to bed me ● Take part in a pre-sleep ac vity such as reading or medita on ● Stay ac ve and exercise at home to “earn” be er sleep ● Maintain a normal rou ne and resist the tempta on to dras cally extend your me in bed. For more informa on, or to find a sleep expert visit www.chsli.org or call 1-855-CHS-4500.
If you can’t go to confession, take your sorrow directly to God, pope says VATICAN CITY (CNS) — People who cannot get to confession because of the coronavirus lockdown or another serious rea-son can go to God directly, be specific about their sins, request pardon and experience God’s loving forgiveness, Pope Francis said. “This is the right time, the opportune moment. An act of contrition done well, and our souls will become white like the snow,” the pope said March 20 during his livestreamed morning Mass. Pope Francis began the Mass by praying again for doctors, especially in northern Italy, where the COVID-19 pandemic still is infecting thousands and leading to the deaths of hundreds of people each day. Italy began a nationwide lockdown March 10 in an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Churches are open for pri-vate prayer and priests can hear confessions if they are wearing a mask and gloves and stay more than 3 feet away from the penitent. But people are being encouraged not to leave their homes at all. The first reading at Mass March 20 was from Hosea, and it encourages people to return to the Lord with all their hearts, recog-nizing their sins and letting God forgive them, the pope said in his homily. “Return to your father who is waiting for you,” the pope said. “The God of tenderness will heal us; he will heal us of the many, many wounds of life and the many ugly things we have done. Each of us has our own!” God welcomes every repentant sinner with open arms, he said. “It’s like going home.” Lent is a special time “to let God wash us, purify us, to let God embrace us,” the pope said, and the best place for that is the confessional. “But many people today would tell me, ‘Father, where can I find a priest, a confessor, because I can’t leave the house? And I want to make peace with the Lord, I want him to embrace me, I want the Father’s embrace.'” The pope said his response would be, “Do what the Catechism (of the Catholic Church) says. It is very clear: If you cannot find a priest to confess to, speak directly with God, your father, and tell him the truth. Say, ‘Lord, I did this, this, this. Forgive me,’ and ask for pardon with all your heart.” Make an act of contrition, the pope said, and promise God, “‘I will go to confession afterward, but forgive me now.’ And im-mediately you will return to a state of grace with God.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church, N. 1452, says: “When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, con-trition is called ‘perfect’ — contrition of charity. Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible.” “As the catechism teaches,” Pope Francis said, “you can draw near to God’s forgiveness without having a priest at hand. Think about it. This is the moment.”

Diocese of Rockville Centre announces Morning Star Initiative
As you may have heard, the Diocese of Rockville Centre has decided to launch a bold plan, called the Morning Star Initiative, to revitalize Catho-lic elementary school education on Long Island. The goal of this initiative is to restore a robust Catholic culture to the DRVC schools, improve academics, and create a more fiscally sustainable model for schools. The Diocese will partner with the Marianists, who have two centuries of Catholic educational commitment and expertise. The Diocese has asked Brother Thomas Cleary, S.M., President of Chaminade High School, to serve as the Chief Revitalization Officer and to spearhead this effort. He will be assisted by his fellow Marianists, who will seek feedback and ideas from the full spectrum of those with a stake in a revitalized Catholic elementary education, including our parishioners. We value your input,
so please share your thoughts. Please visit the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s website at Morningstarinitiative.org .
