Dear brothers and sisters,

Today we start preparing to enter into the center of our Faith… the Paschal Triduum. We are celebra!ng today that Jesus Christ enters triumphant, riding on a colt, into Jerusalem. The people see the promises about to be fulfilled as they see the Messiah come into the Holy City as it was announced and prophesied. And we can be with the people rejoicing and being glad as he enters today Jerusalem. And as we celebrate this, we read the Passion according to Luke. It seems a li#le disjointed to have these two things together. But it is not, because the same Messiah who enters triumphant in Jerusalem is the same one that will enter triumphant Heaven with us in tow. Christ will open a way to Heaven for humanity as he passes over the Paschal Mystery of his Death and Resurrec!on. We hear how

easy the people that acclaimed him now want him crucified –we want a God that follows our plans and projects, not a God that we need to follow. We want our way not His way. We are posed the same ques!on, who do you want- Jesus or Barabbas… you want the jus!ce of the Cross or you want YOUR own jus!ce at any price.

I truly invite you to take advantage of this !me and to enter with Christ in his Paschal Mystery. On Monday, we are all invited to the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral at 8 PM (I recommend that you arrive around 7 pm if you want to find sea!ng). On Holy Thursday Morning and Good Friday, we are all invited to sung Morning Prayer at 7:30 AM. Holy Thursday our celebra!on will start at 7 PM and Good Friday we will have 3 celebra!ons in different languages. Holy Saturday, we will have sung Morning Prayer at 8 AM, Confessions at 11 AM and Blessing of the Easter Food at noon. Easter Vigil will start at 8:30 AM. May we be able to die with Christ and Rise with him to new life.

Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Hoy comenzamos a prepararnos para entrar en el centro de nuestra Fe ... el Triduo pascual. Celebramos hoy que Jesucristo entra triun- fante, montado en un potro, a Jerusalén. La gente ve las promesas a punto de cumplirse al ver al Mesías entrar en la Ciudad Santa como fue anunciado y profe!zado. Y podemos estar con la gente regocijándose y alegrándonos al entrar hoy a Jerusalén. Y mientras celebra- mos esto, leemos la Pasión según Lucas. Parece un poco inconexo tener estas dos cosas juntas. Pero no lo es, porque el mismo Mesías que entra triunfante en Jerusalén es el mismo que entrará con nosotros en el Cielo triunfante. Cristo abrirá un camino al cielo para la humanidad cuando pase por encima del misterio pascual de su muerte y resurrección. Escuchamos lo fácil que la gente que lo aclamó ahora lo quiere crucificado; queremos un Dios que siga nuestros planes y proyectos, no un Dios que debemos seguir. Queremos que nuestro camino no sea su camino. Nos planteamos la misma pregunta: ¿a quién quieres- Jesús o Barrabás? Quieres la jus!cia de la Cruz o quieres tu propia jus!cia a cualquier precio.

Realmente los invito a aprovechar este !empo y entrar con Cristo en su Misterio Pascual. El lunes, todos estamos invitados a la Misa del Crisma en la Catedral a las 8 PM (le recomiendo que llegue alrededor de las 7 PM si quiere encontrar asientos). El jueves santo por la mañana y el viernes santo, todos estamos invitados a cantar la oración de la mañana a las 7:30 a.m. El Jueves Santo nuestra celebración comenzará a las 7 PM y el Viernes Santo tendremos 3 celebraciones en diferentes idiomas. El Sábado Santo, habremos cantado la Ora- ción de la mañana a las 8 AM, las Confesiones a las 11 AM y la Bendición de la Comida de Pascua al mediodía. La Vigilia Pascual comenza- rá a las 8:30 AM. Que podamos morir con Cristo y resucitar con él a una nueva vida.

San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!

Queridos irmãos e irmãs,

Hoje começamos a nos preparar para entrar no centro da nossa Fé ... o Tríduo Pascal. Nós estamos celebrando hoje que Jesus Cristo entra triunfante, cavalgando sobre um jumen!nho, Jerusalém. As pessoas vêem as promessas prestes a serem cumpridas quando vêem o Messias entrar na Cidade Santa como foi anunciado e profe!zado. E podemos estar com o povo regozijando e alegrando-se quando ele entra hoje em Jerusalém. E quando celebramos isso, lemos a Paixão segundo Lucas. Parece um pouco desar!culado ter essas duas coisas juntas. Mas não é, porque o mesmo Messias que entra triunfante em Jerusalém é o mesmo que entrará no Céu triunfante conosco a reboque. Cristo abrirá um caminho para o Céu para a humanidade ao passar pelo mistério pascal da sua morte e ressurreição. Ouvimos como é fácil as pessoas que o aclamarem querem que ele seja crucificado - queremos um Deus que siga nossos planos e projetos, não um Deus que precisamos seguir. Nós queremos o nosso caminho, não o caminho dele. Nós somos colocados a mesma pergunta, quem você quer Jesus ou Barrabás ... você quer a jus!ça da Cruz ou você quer SUA jus!ça a qualquer preço.

Convido-vos verdadeiramente a aproveitar este tempo e a entrar com Cristo no seu mistério pascal. Na segunda-feira, todos nós estamos convidados para a Missa Crismal na Catedral às 20h (eu recomendo que você chegue por volta das 19h, se quiser encontrar lugares para sentar). Na Quinta-feira Santa de manhã e Sexta-feira Santa, todos somos convidados a cantar a Oração da Manhã às 7h30.

Quinta-feira Santa nossa celebração terá início às 19:00 e sexta-feira santa teremos 3 celebrações em diferentes idiomas. Sábado Santo, cantaremos a Oração da Manhã às 8 da manhã, as Confissões às 11 da manhã e a Bênção da Comida da Páscoa ao meio-dia. A vigília pascal começa às 8h30. Que possamos morrer com Cristo e Levantar-se com ele para uma nova vida.

São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!

Fr. Francisco

Bishop's Weekly Bible Reflection on Stewardship

April 14, 2019

“ I tell you, Peter, before the cock crows this day, you will deny three times that you know me. ” (Luke 22:34) How many times have you heard

someone make a disparaging comment about Jesus or our Catholic faith/ How did you react? Do you remain quiet not to cause a dist$rb-

ance? Or, do you remain quiet because you believe people will think negatively about you? Pray for the courage to speak up and enter into a

respectf$l dialog$e when the oppor!$nit% arises.

“Is anyone among you sick?He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. There- fore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.”
