March 25th - Palm Sunday of the Passion of The Lord

From Fr. Suresh

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24

Second Reading: Philippians 2:6-11

Gospel: Mark 14:1 - 15:47

COMMEMORATION OF THE LORD’S ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM “Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and

bestowed on him the name which is above every name.” - Philippians 2:8-9

PALM SUNDAY... JOURNEY WITH JESUS TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS Our humanity bleeds through today's Gospel passages in more ways than one. We see both elation and fall, hope in the

midst of the darker sides of our natures. If we allow it, these Gospels hold a mirror to our own fickle hearts. The

crowds cry "Hosanna" and the Apostles profess allegiance unto death. In a manner of days — even hours — Jesus is

betrayed, abandoned, denied, condemned, tortured, and executed. As God, he could have stopped this horrific narrative

from unfolding, but he doesn't. He allows free will to play itself out.

There are nearly two millennia between this spectacle and us. We can stand safely removed, if we choose. But Lent

invites us to return to this story. Lent invites us to find ourselves in the people we encounter there. Are we the repentant

woman at Bethany? Are we naysayers of such lavish piety? Have we acted in a way that betrays those we love or

denies what we know to be good and true? Have we fallen asleep in our faith? Have we unfairly accused others of a

crime or immorality we imagine, though perhaps they didn't commit? Do we help others carry their burdens? Do we

stand in solidarity with those who suffer? Do we care for the dying?

This week, take up today's Gospel again. Look carefully at the Passion narrative and sit with it in silence. Find yourself

in the story and ponder its meaning for your own life. Journey with Jesus to the foot of the Cross so that you too may

say, along with the faithful centurion, "truly this man was the Son of God!"

ST. IGNATIUS/DOROTHY RICE SCHOLARSHIP FUND —

NOW IN OUR 21ST YEAR ASSISTING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL TUITION!

The St. Ignatius/Dorothy Rice Memorial Scholarship Fund assists families who are not able to afford the full tuition at

St. Ignatius School (which averages about $9500 per year). Each year we help to keep children in our school who other-

wise couldn’t afford a Catholic Education. Over the past 20 years we have assisted 175 children from 120 families!

The average child in this programme receives about $200-$300 per month off the fees, paid by the scholarship fund

(directly to the school bursar), while the child’s family pays the rest.

In return for the help, the families actively contribute to the school and parish in a variety of ways (helping out with

fundraisers, chaperoning school trips, cleaning the grounds, assisting at sports days, serving on committees, etc.).

How you can help:

Donation envelopes are available at the front entrance of St. Ignatius Church or in the church office. Donations can

be dropped in the collection, sent in by mail or dropped off at the church office. If paying by cheque, please make

your donations payable to: ST. IGNATIUS, and in the memo, please indicate “Scholarship Fund”.

On-line transfers can be done through Butterfield Bank… contact May in the parish office for details.

Perhaps your company would like to assist with regular contributions OR a one-off donation?

Please consider the Scholarship Fund from time to time when doing your charitable work throughout the year!

Many thanks to all those who have contributed to the fund during recent months and during the past several years!

For further information, please contact Jeremy Rice in the Parish Office or via e-mail: [email protected].

DIVINE MERCY NOVENA

BEGINS GOOD FRIDAY 3:00 PM

We encourage all to pray the Novena to Divine Mercy which will begin at 3:00 pm at St. Ignatius

after the Good Friday Service. Each day of the Novena, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be prayed

at 3:00 pm at St. Ignatius, in preparation for Divine Mercy Sunday on April 8th, 2018.

Jesus asked St. Faustina to pray the Chaplets of Mercy and told her that “On each day of the novena

you will bring to My Heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy... On each

day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls. By this novena I will grant

every possible grace to souls." (Diary 1209, 796)

Jesus also said to Sister Faustina: "Say unceasingly this chaplet that I have taught you. Whoever will recite it will

receive great Mercy at the hour of death. Priests will recommend it to sinners as their last hope of salvation. Even if

there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this Chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My Infinite

Mercy. I desire that the whole world know My Infinite Mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those who trust

in My Mercy...." (Diary 687)

The Novena and Chaplet of Mercy are a source of grace. It’s a time of mercy for the whole world.

Further information and prayer leaflets are available at the Evangelization Committee’s display area.
