“The world has grown cold, it is for us Catholics to rekindle the vital fire which had been extin-guished. It is for us to inaugurate the era of the

martyrs, for it is a martyrdom possible to every Christian. To give one’s life for God and for one’s brothers (and sisters), to give one’s life in sacrifice, is to be a martyr. It is indif-ferent whether the sacrifice be consummated at one moment, or whether slowly consuming, it fills the altar night and day with sweet perfume. To be martyr is to give back to heaven all that one has received, wealth, life, our whole soul.” –Bl. Frederic Ozanam- (Ramson, Praying with Frederic, p.103)

Respect Life Judith Hyatt

Most Christians today re-ceive a bunch of palm fronds, olive branches, pussy willow, or forsythia (a relative of the olive) to carry in procession and to bear home in bless-ing. Some even offer sprigs of palm or other branches as a ges-ture of peace to those they have offended. The desire is to make a clean sweep of your spiri-tual house before the Easter feast. Accepting the branch is a token of the bearer’s will-ingness to journey with the Church through a grateful remembrance of Jesus

life-giving resurrection. Traditionally, the plants associated with today’s feast are planted in cemeter-ies as a sign of Christ’s vic-

tory over death and the promise of new life. The joy of this day’s opening proces-sion soon gives

way to a solemn reading of the Passion, this

year according to Matthew. The ritual is meant not only to strengthen us to hear this account, but to stir us up to accompany the Church on this journey through Holy Week. It also prepares us for next Sunday’s joyful renewal of our baptismal vows. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST JESUS The Lenten cycle brings us to this “mixed” Sunday of palm branches and painful suffering. Our liturgy opens by recalling Jesus’ triumphant entry along the main road into Jerusalem, then moves quickly to the back streets of be-trayal and humiliation, the courtyards of torture and aban-donment, the hill of execution. Isaiah’s strange and gripping “Song of the Servant of God” was to become the song of Jesus. It is the song of one who strides forward consistently in the face of criti-cism, even scorn: “I have not rebelled, have not turned back.” It is to become our song, as faithful followers of Jesus Christ. How are we to react when we hear the account of the passion and death of the Lord? Paul tells us that our attitude must be Christ’s, who “emptied himself, taking the form of a slave.” We pray that we may absorb the atti-tude of Christ, and face life squarely in its triumph and its pain.

THE CROSS We should glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection, through whom we are saved and delivered. —Entrance Antiphon, Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, The Roman Missal

Domingo de Ramos “De la Pasión del Señor”

El Viernes Santo es el día más im-presionante que se conmemora en el calendario cris-tiano. Es el día en que Jesús, mu-riendo en la cruz, se reve-la al mismo tiempo como Hijo del Hombre e Hijo de Dios. Los hispanos conmemoramos este día no sólo con la liturgia ofi-cial de la Iglesia, sino también con nuestras de-vociones populares como el Vía crucis en vivo, el Pésame a la Virgen y el sermón de las Siete Pala-bras. Esta última devoción es también conocida co-mo el Sermón de tres horas y es mayormente usada por las Iglesias pro-testantes, sin embargo

tiene su origen gracias al sacer-dote Jesuita Francisco del Castillo, en Perú. C o m o

Jesús, este santo varón dedicó toda su vida a los pobres y marginados. El Viernes Santo de 1660, mientras predicaba en la iglesia de Nuestra de Se-ñora de los Desamparados, ante la efigie del Señor en agonía, decidió hacer una comparación del sufri-miento de Cristo al sufri-miento de los desampara-dos, llamando a los cristia-nos al apostolado de cari-dad y justicia. Las siete últimas palabras de Jesu-cristo deben movernos al servicio de los desampara-dos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

LA ACTITUD DE CRISTO JESÚS El ciclo de la Cuaresma nos trae de nuevo a este domingo mixto, a las palmas y al doloroso sufri-miento. Nuestra liturgia recuenta el triunfo de Jesús en el camino principal a Jerusalén, luego se mueve a los callejones: a la traición y la humillación, a los patios de la tortura y el abandono, a la colina de la ejecución. El extraño y conmovedor “canto del siervo de Dios” de Isaías se convierte en la canción de Jesús. Era la canción del que avanza con perseverancia, an-te la crítica y la burla. Y “yo no me resistí ni me eché atrás”. Deberá ser nuestra canción también. ¿Cómo debemos reaccionar cuando oímos el re-

cuento de la Pasión y Muerte del Señor? Pablo escribió que nuestra

actitud deberá ser igual a la de Cristo, “que tomó la condición de esclavo”. Rogamos para po-der asumir la actitud de Cristo, y enfrentarnos a la vida con valentía— con sus triunfos y sus dolores.
