This Week (March 25 —April 1, 2018)

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, PASSION The contrast between the processional reading in today’s liturgy and the proclama-tion of the Passion is striking. We are given a glimpse of how profoundly the word of

God is fulfilled in Jesus. First he must be hailed as the Messiah, the One who is to come. He must be acknowl-edged by all, though they do not know what they are saying. They think he is the prom-ised king, a worldly king of the Jews who will free them from the Roman occupation. They do not yet understand, even the disciples, exactly where this triumphal procession is leading. In our lives, we too do not know where we are going. It is in faith that we can follow Christ wherever he may lead us, trusting that death is not the end, nor evil the vic-tor. United in Prayer Always, /s/ Fr. Mark Reburiano
