Message from Father Robert:

Last week, I wrote of the parish’s celebration of Palm Sunday, this week I will explain how we are going to celebrate the Sacred Triduum, which is the most beautiful celebration in the life of the Church. Once again thank God we can celebrate it publically, even if it may be modified. However, before I go into detail, this Monday is “Reconciliation Monday” and there will be a priest available for confessions from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. in all parishes of the Archdiocese of New York. On Thursday. Friday, and Saturday there will be the office of Tenebrae with Morning Prayer at 9:00 a.m. The Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper will be at 7:00 p.m., there will be two services for Good Friday 3:00 p.m. in English and 5:00 p.m. in Spanish both in the church, and the Easter Vigil will be at 8:00 p.m. We will also have the blessing of Easter foods between 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Holy Saturday. For the Mass of the Lord’s Supper there will be no washing of the feet, surprisingly it is an optional rite, also we hope to set up an Altar of Repose for the procession of the Blessed Sacrament in which there will be a period of silent adoration until 11:00 p.m. We kindly ask everyone to remain in their seats for the procession and to adore the Blessed Sacrament from your place. On Good Friday there will be no outdoor Stations of the Cross. During the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion only the priest will venerate and kiss the Cross, then lead everyone into a general Adoration of the Cross. We are happy to announce that five individuals will be received into the Church during the Easter Vigil so there will be reserved seating for them and their guests, and given the concerns of many there will probably no lighting and blowing out of individual candles. Once again we kindly ask for your patience and understanding as well as thank you immensely for it in advance. Within the past two weeks I received a surprise in the mail, it was a book entitled Grace in Season: The Riches of the Gospels in Seventy Sermons by Archbishop Augustine Di Noia, O.P. The book is simply his published homilies which are very profound especially his ones during Holy Week. I would like to conclude with what he said in a Palm Sunday homily that reminds us of the essence of the Holy Week ceremonies despite any differences we might experience this year. May God bless you and your families during this sacred time of grace. “The celebrations of Holy Week give us opportunities at every turn to participate in the Paschal Mystery not just as onlookers but as actors in the events commemorated. We are there, albeit liturgically and sacramentally, but nonetheless really. This is a special grace of the Holy Week liturgies: so profoundly to enter into the mysteries of Christ’s passion as to receive their benefits in the depths of our hearts and to imitate in our lives the pattern of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our beloved Savior and Lord. Amen.” (p.62)

Mensaje del Padre Robert:

La semana pasada escribí sobre la celebración del Domingo de Ramos en la parroquia, esta semana explicaré cómo vamos a celebrar el Sagrado Triduo, que es la celebración más hermosa de la vida de la Iglesia. Una vez más gracias a Dios podemos celebrarlo públicamente, incluso si puede ser modificado. Sin embargo, antes de entrar en detalles, este lunes es "Lunes de Reconciliación" y habrá un sacerdote disponible para confesiones de 3 p.m. a 9 p.m. en todas las parroquias de la Arquidiócesis de Nueva York. El jueves. El viernes y el sábado estará la oficina de Tenebrae con Oración matutina a las 9:00 a.m. La misa del Jueves Santo de la Cena del Señor será a las 7:00 p.m., habrá dos servicios para el Viernes Santo 3:00 p.m. en inglés y 5:00 p.m. en español tanto en la iglesia, y la Vigilia Pascual será a las 8:00 p.m. También tendremos la bendición de los alimentos de Pascua entre las 2:00 y las 4:00 p.m.m. el Sábado Santo. Para la Misa de la Cena del Señor no habrá lavado de pies, sorprendentemente es un rito opcional, también esperamos instalar un Altar de Reposo para la procesión del Santísimo Sacramento en el que habrá un período de adoración silenciosa hasta las 11:00 p.m. Pedimos amablemente a todos que permanezcan en sus asientos para la procesión y adoren el Santísimo Sacramento de su lugar. El Viernes Santo no habrá estaciones al aire libre de la Cruz. Durante la Liturgia de la Pasión del Señor sólo el sacerdote venerará y besará la Cruz, y luego conducirá a todos a una adoración general de la Cruz. Nos complace anunciar que cinco personas serán recibidas en la Iglesia durante la Vigilia Pascual, por lo que habrá asientos reservados para ellos y sus invitados, y dadas las preocupaciones de muchos probablemente no habrá iluminación y soplado de velas individuales. Una vez más le pedimos amablemente su paciencia y comprensión, así como gracias inmensamente por ello de antemano. En las últimas dos semanas recibí una sorpresa en el correo, fue un libro titulado Gracia en Temporada: Las Riquezas de los Evangelios en Setenta Sermones por Monseñor Augustine Di Noia, O.P. El libro es simplemente sus homilías publicadas que son muy profundas especialmente las suyas durante la Semana Santa. Me gustaría concluir con lo que dijo en una homilía del Domingo de Ramos que nos recuerda la esencia de las ceremonias de Semana Santa a pesar de cualquier diferencia que podamos experimentar este año. Que Dios os bendiga a vosotros y a vuestras familias durante este tiempo sagrado de gracia. "Las celebraciones de la Semana Santa nos dan oportunidades a cada paso de participar en el Misterio Pascual no sólo como espectadores sino como actores en los eventos conmemorados. Estamos allí, aunque litúrgica y sacramentalmente, pero sin embargo realmente. Esta es una gracia especial de las liturgias de la Semana Santa: tan profundamente entrar en los misterios de la pasión de Cristo como recibir sus beneficios en las profundidades de nuestro corazón e imitar en nuestra vida el modelo de muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo, nuestro amado Salvador y Señor. Amén." (pág. 62)

Our parish relies on the Easter and Christmas offerings to accomplish the necessary work that needs to be done in the parish. Please be as generous as your means will allow in the Easter Flower and Easter Sunday offerings.

May God abundantly bless you for your generosity!
