Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord Sunday, March 24, 2013

Our Lady Queen of Peace Ivan Dragicevic of Medjugorje, will speak at St Joseph’s Church on Saturday evening, April 13th. Ivan Dragicevic, one of the six visionaries of Medjugorje who continues to receive daily ap-paritions of Our Lady, will be at St Joseph’s Church on Tarbell St. in Pepperell.

Since June 24, 1981, a truly astonishing phenomenon has been taking place in Medjugorje, a village in a mountainous region of Bosnia-Hercegovina. It is claimed that the mother of Jesus, Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, has been appearing to six young people and giving “messages” to the world. In Our Lady’s words:

“I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life and to enjoy this fullness and peace you must return to God.” Our Lady exhorts everyone to convert and to pray al-ways, to have a continuous awareness of the presence of God through reconciliation with Him and with one’s neighbor, through fasting, works of charity, reading the Scriptures and partaking in the sacraments—particularly the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.

There will be, Rosary at 6 p.m. followed by a Time of silence at 6:40 , Holy Mass at 7pm, and a talk presented by Ivan at 8pm. The activity will be held at the St. Joseph’s Church 28 Tarbell St. Pepperell, MA 01463.

For more information, please contact Joseph P. Naff, LICSW, Director, Office of Healing and Pastoral Care, at jnaff@nh-cc.org or 603-668-0014, ext. 233.

Chrism Mass The Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci joyfully invites the Faithful of the Diocese of Manchester to participate in the celebration of The Chrism Mass on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 6:00 in the evening at St. Joseph Cathedral, Manchester, New Hampshire. At this Mass the Bishop will bless the Oil of the Sick and of Catechumens and consecrate the Oil of Chrism. The Bishop will also call on the priests to publically renew their priestly promises. Please call 663.0153 or go to www.catholicnh.org/chrism for more information and to confirm your attendance.

Chris will anoint everyone present, and prayer teams from the Rivier Prayer Community will be available to pray with individuals for physical, emotional or spiritual healing. Everyone welcome!

Pope Francis - March 13, 2013

Jorge Mario Bergoglio was born on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of five children of Italian immigrants. After entering the seminary of Villa Devoto, Buenos Aires, he joined the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on March 11, 1958. He was ordained on December 13, 1969. After several years of teaching, Bergoglio served as Provincial for Argentina for the Society of Jesus from 1973-1979 before going to Germany to finish his doctoral dissertation. In 1992, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires, and was consecrated on June 27 of that year by Cardinal Antonio Quarracino, archbishop of Buenos Aires. His episcopal motto was Miserando atque eligendo" ("lowly, and yet chosen". Bergoglio succeeded Cardinal Quarracino as Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998, and was created cardinal by Blessed John Paul II in the consistory of Feb-21-2001. As both bishop and cardinal, Bergoglio was known for his humility, intellect, and commitment to the poor. He opted to live in a small apartment rather than the bishop's residence, and gave up the limousine provided him in favor of public transportation. Cardinal Bergoglio participated in the conclave of April 18-19, 2005, which elected Pope Benedict XVI. In 2005, he was elected president of the Episcopal Conference of Argentina from 2005-2008, and again from 2008-2011. On February 23, 2013, he was named a member of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. After the resignation of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013, Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ, was elected on the second day of the conclave on March 13, 2013. He took as his name Francis. St. Francis, founder of the Franciscan order, is one of the world's most beloved saints in popular devotion, and is known for his solidarity with the poor and his emphasis on caring for God's creation. In selecting a name from the Franciscan, rather than the Jesuit, tradition, it is speculated that Pope Francis wished to set a tone for his papacy of unity among all Christians, emphasize concern for the poor and environmental stewardship, and build a bridge between the traditionally European papacy and the rest of the world. In addition to being the first pontiff to take the name of Francis, Pope Francis is also the first member of the Society of Jesus to be elected pope, the first pope born in the Americas, and the first non-European pope in over 1200 years.

What does Palm Sunday Mean?Palm Sunday is one of the most important days in the Christian calendar after Christmas and Easter. Palm Sunday is the Sunday, before Easter, and marks the beginning of Holy Week, the week of events leading up to Jesus’ death.

Are you sleeping?Early in my marriage I had the horrible habit of becoming extreme-ly drowsy whenever my wife wanted to deal with a difficult issue. It was a highly inappropriate psychological coping mechanism, and I had the hardest time overcoming it. Try as I might to appear alert and interested, I kept falling asleep. Needless to say, that did little to endear me to my wife. And so I have a bit of sympathy for the apos-tles who accompanied Jesus to the Mount of Olives and promptly fell asleep. Jesus expressed his tremendous sorrow and asked them to keep watch. But time and again they dozed. I imagine it wasn’t only the wine from the Passover meal, nor the lateness of the hour that had them dropping off to sleep. I suspect that fear had a lot to do with it. Here was the person they could most count on in any diffi-cult situation—the one who stood up to the temple officials and who calmed the stormy seas—and he was clearly in great turmoil. I think we all can tend to snooze—literally or figuratively—when fear strikes. We can give in to the urge to hide in bed with the covers pulled up over our heads when life gets uncertain or scary. But time and again Jesus tells us, “Fear not.” On Good Friday, Jesus walks head-on to face humanity’s greatest fear—suffering and death. If we don’t sleep through his passion, we’ll be awake for his resurrection.

-Tom McGrath

One of the readings for the Week Is 50: 4-7

The repetition of some topics enables us to get an idea of a new section. It opens with an oracle about the Servant, who begins speaking. He is declared disciple of the Lord God, from whom he receives the words to support the weak. this servant is shown as someone filled with confidence and yet, is persecuted and insulted, His mission is to teach all those who fear the Lord and who are lost and lacking in clarity. However, he will be faithfully supportive because he waits for the definitive triumph that God himself will concede
