March 20, 2016 ~ Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord FR. DAN UPDATE… Keep praying for Fr. Dan, hopefully he will be back in a few weeks. HOLY WEEK 2016… Today on this Palm Sunday we come together as a Catholic Community of Faith to walk into Jerusalem with Jesus. He was welcomed that day as a great prophet, some even thought he was the Messiah. People waved their palm branches as a sign of honor and respect. How soon would the tide turn against him. It almost reads like a modern day saga of the presidential candidates. The only thing that did not change during Holy Week was the consistency that Jesus had to fulfill the mission that was given to him by his Father. He was to suffer and to die on the cross for the sins of humankind. God so loved the world and he sent his beloved Son to save us from sin and death. During this season of Lent we have attempted to be renewed in our commitment to Jesus and his Gospel. It is not always easy with all the temptations of the world around us to remain fixed and committed to our mission as Jesus was, but he is there to help us. It is not easy to be a disciple of Jesus today when so many do not accept his message of love, peace and justice, especially for the poor. But like Jesus we have to continue our mission and not get distracted by all the things that are going around us. Be consistent in your faith. Be consistent in your words and actions and let others know that we are proud to be Catholic. So many deserted Jesus in the difficult times of life. Jesus will not desert us, he will support us. Easter tells us it is all worth it. Walk with Jesus this week. Come to the Holy Week Services. And celebrate with Joy the resurrection next Sunday…Fr. Joe CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES | CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA - Rice Bowl at work When Cyclone Haruna hit Vaviroa’s family farm in Madagascar in 2013, her fields flooded and crops died. But she knew she could get her farm operating once more if she just had the tools and seeds she needed. That’s where Catholic Relief Services came in—by providing Vaviroa with these necessary items, she was able to start anew. To learn more, please visit: crsricebowl.org/stories-of-hope/week-5 RICE BOWL… TO RETURN. Many thanks to all who are participating in Operation Rice Bowl this year. Please leave your Rice Bowl or Rice Bowl envelope in the basket in the sanctuary between now and the Sunday after Easter.

JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY DEC 2015 TO NOV 2016 "God is joyful. This is interesting: God is joyful! And what is the joy of God? The joy of God is forgiving, the joy of God is forgiving! The joy of a shepherd who finds his little lamb; the joy of a woman who finds her coin; it is the joy of a father welcoming home the son who was lost, who was as though dead and has come back to life, who has come home. Here is the entire Gospel! Here! The whole Gospel, all of Christianity, is here! But make sure that it is not sentiment, it is not being a 'do-gooder'! On the contrary, mercy is the true force that can save man and the world from the 'cancer' that is sin, moral evil, and spiritual evil. Only love fills the void, the negative chasms that evil opens in hearts and in history. Only love can do this, and this is God's joy!" - Pope Francis …IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES … He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and in the prophets and Psalms must be fulfilled.” Luke 24:44 The Prophecy: Psalms 22:14-19 - Like water my life drains away; all my bones are disjointed. My heart has become like wax, it melts away within me. As dry as a potsherd is my throat; my tongue cleaves to my palate; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs surround me; pack of evildoers closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat; they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots. The Fulfillment: Matthew 27: 31, 35 - And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him…After they had crucified him, they divided his garments by casting lots. About the Prophecy of Psalms Psalm 22 is a Psalm of David. In this psalm he is describing an execution. The early portion of this psalm describes the Messiah’s suffering; the later portion describes the universal deliverance the Messiah makes possible. The Psalm is important in the New Testament. Its opening words occur on the lips of the crucified Jesus (Mk 15:34; Mt 27:46), and several other verses are quoted, or at least alluded to, in the accounts of Jesus’ passion (Mt 27:35, 43; Jn 19:24).

From Bishop Serratelli Dear Friends in Christ, Year after year, the world sees the violence in the Middle East and how Christians are being forced to flee this area that is so sacred to our faith. It is a tragedy happening right before our eyes. Because of this, the annual collection for the Holy Land takes on even greater significance, and so I ask for your support when it is taken on Good Friday. This special collection helps make it possible for Christians to remain in the Holy Land, including the poor and young couples, by building affordable apartments and supporting schools. It offers medical and social assistance, family counselling, youth centers and employment opportunities to many seeing work. It gives them hope at a time when all seems hopeless. The collection also funds the work of the Franciscans who have been entrusted for the last 800 years with the care of the Holy land sites. This is a great blessing to Christians who live there and for the countless pilgrims who visit e3ach year. Last year alone, capital repairs and improvements were made to sacred sites in Jerusalem, Nazareth and Mount Tabor thanks to our participation in the Holy land collection. This is an important way for us Catholics to support the place where our faith was born. I ask you to be generous as possible when the Collection for the Holy Land is taken up this Good Friday. Faithfully yours in Christ, Most Reverend Arthur J. Serrratelli, S.T.D., S.S.L., D.D. Bishop of Paterson
