(Carta en español en la página 5) “Noble and Humble” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord prepares us to leave behind Jesus’ public ministry and

enter into his suffering and death. From miracles, crowds, and praise we move to pain, silence,

and humility. Only the strong and true lovers of Jesus will make it to the foot of the cross.

A painting in the Vatican Museum by Pseudo Domenico di Michelino, The Triumphant Entry into

Jerusalem, depicts Jesus coming into Jerusalem sitting nobly—on a donkey—in the center. The

prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 sets the scene and marks its importance: “Exult greatly, O daughter

Zion! Shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! Behold: your king is coming to you, a just savior is he,

humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” By riding into Jerusalem on a

donkey, Jesus embraces the path of the Messiah that God mapped out through the prophets. He

comes as a king and in peace and obedience. Jesus wins with meekness and love.

Returning to the painting, we see little children laying down their coats before Jesus. These

simple souls recognize his divine humility and honor him with their gestures while the crowd

acclaims his kingship. The reign of Jesus incites praise, fidelity, and allegiance. The people wave

olive branches and throw them on the ground before him.

Counting the followers in the painting, eleven process with golden halos around their heads.

These symbols of holiness highlight the fact that to love Jesus is to follow him to the end, as do

almost all of the twelve disciples Jesus selected to join him in his ministry. One follower, however,

is surrounded in shadow. Unlike the others, he looks away. His heart is set on another plan.

Lord, you are the model of nonviolence and unconditional love.

May your example inspire me to be a more loving and forgiving person in life.

In an effort to be prepared in case of an emergency, we are creating a food pantry to help people in our community during emergencies. We ask that you support the parish and donate any of the following items to grow our food pantry ef-forts. • Bottled water

• Powdered milk • Shelf Stable Milk • Canned soups

(Letter in English on page 3)

“Noble y humilde” Por Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

El Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor nos prepara para dejar atrás el ministerio público de

Jesús y entrar en su sufrimiento y muerte. De milagros, multitudes y alabanzas pasamos al dolor,

el silencio y la humildad. Solo los fuertes y verdaderos amantes de Jesús llegarán al pie de la cruz.

Una pintura en el Museo del Vaticano de Pseudo Domenico di Michelino, La entrada triunfal a

Jerusalén, muestra a Jesús entrando a Jerusalén sentado noblemente, en un burro, en el centro.

La profecía de Zacarías 9: 9 establece la escena y marca su importancia: “¡Exultad mucho, hija

Sión! ¡Grita de alegría, oh hija de Jerusalén! He aquí: tu rey viene hacia ti, un salvador justo es él,

humilde, y monta en un burro, en un potro, el potro de un burro ". Al ir a Jerusalén en un burro,

Jesús abraza el camino del Mesías que Dios trazó a través de los profetas. Él viene como un rey y

en paz y obediencia. Jesús gana con mansedumbre y amor.

Volviendo a la pintura, vemos niños pequeños que dejan sus abrigos delante de Jesús. Estas almas

simples reconocen su humildad divina y lo honran con sus gestos mientras la multitud aclama su

realeza. El reinado de Jesús incita alabanza, fidelidad y lealtad. La gente agita las ramas de olivo y

las tira al suelo delante de él.

Contando a los seguidores en la pintura, once procesos con halos dorados alrededor de sus

cabezas. Estos símbolos de santidad resaltan el hecho de que amar a Jesús es seguirlo hasta el

final, al igual que casi todos los doce discípulos que Jesús seleccionó para unirse a él en su

ministerio. Un seguidor, sin embargo, está rodeado de sombras. A diferencia de los demás, él mira

hacia otro lado. Su corazón está puesto en otro plan.

Señor, eres el modelo de la no violencia y el amor incondicional.

Que tu ejemplo me inspire a ser una persona más amorosa y perdonadora en la vida.

En un esfuerzo por estar prepara-dos en caso de una emergencia, estamos creando una despensa de alimentos para ayudar a las perso-nas en nuestra comunidad durante emergencias. Le pedimos que apoye a la parro-quia y que done cualquiera de los siguientes artículos para aumentar nuestros esfuerzos de despensa de alimentos. • Agua embotellada • Leche en polvo

• Leche de conservación larga • Sopas enlatadas • Vegetales enlatados

• Fruta enlatada
