The Unexpected King When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, many onlookers probably didn’t know what to think of such an image. Kings ordinarily drew much greater crowds than this. Kings usually entered in a horse-drawn carriage that was bedecked with jewels, and other ornaments signifying his kingliness. Most kings had servants following along, very likely fanning his highness to keep bugs away, and to cool his brow.

Jesus rode in on a donkey. It was very likely a bumpy, uncomfortable ride. And only His followers were praising Him saying “Hosanna!” Palm branches probably didn’t do much to cool Him, and the flying insects were not dissuaded.

Jesus was unlike other kings in many ways, and His entry into Jerusalem was emblematic of His kingship. Although His entry was met with shouts of praise, the adoration came from those who knew Him as the Son of God, not from the local authorities and other good citizens of the city. They probably wondered what all the commotion was about.

Kings lived in palaces. They had great wealth, and they flaunted it. Kings had servants waiting on them hand and foot. They had dancing girls entertaining their party guests at lavish banquets. Kings owned slaves and treated the accordingly. Kings conquered other kingdoms, enslaved their people, seized their assets and ruled mercilessly. Those who opposed their will met with severe punishment or execution. In those days, executions were far more harsh and painful than we can imagine. Executioners tried as hard as they could to make the death penalty as severe as possible. Crucifixion is a prime example.

When Jesus’ disciples first heard Him talking about being the Messiah, they supposed He meant that He would be their military ruler, a revolutionary who would overthrow the current regime and take over the realm. They expected Him to rule the land by might as most kings did.

Instead, the King they found in Jesus was lowly, poor, merciful and forgiving. He would be the only king they ever heard of who sacrificed Himself, not other people. Most kings sent others to be executed. He didn’t take their place himself.

Today, what king, or prime minister or president would sacrifice himself to save his people? What king, prime minister or president would choose to live in a one-bedroom apartment in a poor part of town and leave the royal residence for others to live in? What king, prime minister or president would ride a bicycle to work, rather than be chauffeured around in a bullet-proof limousine attended by a squadron of secret service agents?

Jesus’s kingship consists in what He gave up, rather than in what he gathered to Himself. Jesus’ glory can be seen in His sacrifice, not in any material wealth, popularity or military might. Jesus is the most humble person who ever lived. It is for His love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, compassion and the salvation He brings that we shout together with those who received Him on Palm Sunday, “Hosanna!” Amen.

El Rey Inesperado

Cuando Jesús entró a Jerusalén montado en un burro, muchos espectadores probablemente no sabían qué pensar de tal imagen. Los reyes generalmente atraían multitudes mucho más grandes que esto. Los reyes solían entrar en un carruaje tirado por caballos que estaba adornado con joyas, y otros adornos que significaban su majestuosidad. La mayoría de los reyes tenían sirvientes que lo seguían, muy probablemente abanicando su alteza para mantener alejados a los insectos, y para enfriar su frente.

Jesús entró en un burro. Era muy probable que fuera un viaje lleno de baches, incómodo. Y solo sus seguidores lo alababan diciendo "¡Hosanna!" Las ramas de palmera probablemente no hicieron mucho para darle aire fresco, y los insectos voladores no fueron disuadidos. Jesús fue diferente a otros reyes en muchos sentidos, y su entrada a Jerusalén fue emblemática de su reinado. Aunque Su entrada fue recibida con gritos de alabanza, la adoración provino de quienes lo reconocieron como el Hijo de Dios, no de las autoridades locales y otros buenos ciudadanos de la ciudad. Probablemente se preguntaron de qué se trataba toda la conmoción.

Los reyes vivían en palacios. Tenían gran riqueza, y la alardeaban. Los reyes tenían criados esperándolos de pie. Tenían bailarinas que entretenían a sus invitados de fiesta en banquetes lujosos. Los reyes poseían esclavos y los trataban como correspondía. Los reyes conquistaban otros reinos, esclavizando a su gente, se apoderaban de sus bienes y gobernaban sin piedad. Aquellos que se oponían a su voluntad se enfrentaban a un severo castigo o ejecución. En aquellos días, las ejecuciones eran mucho más duras y dolorosas de lo que podemos imaginar. Los ejecutores intentaban tan fuerte como podían para que la pena de muerte fuera lo más severa posible. La crucifixión es un buen ejemplo.

Cuando los discípulos de Jesús lo escucharon hablar de ser el Mesías, supusieron que quería decir que Él sería su jefe militar, un revolucionario que derrocaría al régimen actual y se apoderaría del reino. Ellos esperaban que Él gobernara la tierra por la fuerza, como lo hacía la mayoría de los reyes.

En cambio, el rey que encontraron en Jesús era humilde, pobre, misericordioso y perdonador. Sería el único rey del que hayan oído hablar de quién se sacrificó a sí mismo, no a otras personas. La mayoría de los reyes enviaban a otros a ser ejecutados. Él no, Jesús mismo tomó el lugar de ellos.

Hoy, ¿qué rey, o primer ministro o presidente se sacrificaría para salvar a su pueblo? ¿Qué rey, primer ministro o presidente elegiría vivir en un apartamento de una habitación en una zona pobre de la ciudad y dejar la residencia real para que otros vivan en ella? ¿Qué rey, primer ministro o presidente iría en bicicleta al trabajo, en lugar de ser conducido en una limusina a prueba de balas a la que asiste un escuadrón de agentes del servicio secreto?

La realeza de Jesús consiste en lo que Él abandonó, en lugar de en lo que se reunió para sí mismo. La gloria de Jesús se puede ver en su sacrificio, no en ninguna riqueza material, popularidad o poder militar. Jesús es la persona más humilde que jamás haya vivido. Es por su amor, misericordia, gracia, perdón, compasión y salvación que Él trae para que gritemos junto con los que lo recibieron el Domingo de Ramos, "¡Hosanna!" Amén.

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer; an hour of adoration. This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from. An adorer is needed for:

Friday 12:00 midnight—1:00 a.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la Iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la mission por medio de la oración; una hora de adoración. Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildisima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en solo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger. Tambien es necesario un adorador los:

viernes 12:00 media noche—1:00 a.m.

Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

Deborah Harris tells us about a timely one.

The story about the birth, life, death, and

resurrection of Jesus Christ has been told and retold

over 2,000 years. To the over one billion of

Catholics in the world today, these stories are of

endless fascination and have an ever deeper meaning

to us. Let’s look at a couple that will be out in the

narthex bookcase.

The Birth and Passion of Jesus: The Jerusalem

Passion Play, photographs by Max and Hilla

Jacoby, and text by Lawrence F. Mihlon is a vivid

and powerful presentation of Jesus’ Passion. Its 111

full color photographs and scriptural narratives

capture the splendor and anguish of the gospel story.

It is very powerful and allows you to feel like you are

walking with Jesus on His incredible journey.

The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus’s

Final Week in Jerusalem, by Marcus J. Borg and

John Dominic Crossan depicts Jesus giving up His

life to protest power without justice and to condemn

the rich who lack concern for the poor. At the end of

the week, Jesus marches up Calvary, offering

Himself as a model for others. In this book we not

only meet the historical Jesus, but meet a new Jesus

who engages us and invites us to follow Him.

The authors use the Gospel according to Mark

because it is the oldest. Mark tells us how the story

of Jesus was told around 70 AD. They also used

Mark’s Gospel because he went out of his way to

chronicle Jesus’s last week on a day-to-day basis.

Finally, Mark chronicles Friday’s events in three-

hour intervals: 6 am, 9 am, 12 noon, 3 pm, and 6 pm.

Without Easter we wouldn’t have Good Friday.

Easter is about the most spectacular miracle there has

ever been, the resurrection of Jesus. God raised

Jesus who promises us everlasting life. This book

presents a day-to-day account of Jesus’ final week of

life. The story begins on Palm Sunday with two

triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry is

that of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading

Roman soldiers into the city. The second heralded a

new kind of moral hero who was praised by the

people as He rode in on a humble donkey. God is

proving that Jesus was indeed His Son.

What: Catholic Kidz Camp

When: June 10-14

Where: Notre Dame Gym

Time: 8:00-12:00

Kids will check-in with St. Catherine, pick-up their flight plan and meet their very own Guardian

Angel! They will encounter exciting characters from the Bible whose lives were transformed by the

angels. Who knows? They may meet Mary, the Queen of Angels on the way! Kids will have a soaring

good time!

Parachute with the Angels and St. Catherine Labouré Catholic Kidz Camp is divided into four

age-specific programs. The creative grade-appropriate lessons are based on Sacred Scripture and

Catholic Tradition and the Doctors of the Church. Each day, after the Welcome & Prayer, fun lessons

begin and explain the various roles angels play in our salvation. These lessons are engaging and

promote active participation. Each day children will listen to the story of Saint Catherine Labouré

because Catherine was led by an angel to meet Mary, the Queen of Angels. After listening to a

specific section of the storybook which complements the daily lesson, children will participate in a

variety of drama skits, role-play, games and Bible verse memory activities. Sensational, easy-to-make

crafts reflect each day's theme. Songs from the Angel of God Music CD are upbeat, lively and the

lyrics enrich the overall program.

VOLUNTEERS: WE NEED YOU!!!

If you are interested in helping our kids learn their Catholic faith

in a fun and exciting way, please contact:
