___________________________________________
As we enter this week that we consider the holiest of all, we try to
unite ourselves with the Passion of the Lord, so also to share His
Resurrection. We might ask ourselves where we can begin our
personal and communal journeys this week. Perhaps, we can take as
our starting point this Sunday’s second reading from Saint Paul to the
Philippians, where we find this:
Parish “Your attitude must be that of Christ Jesus,

emptied himself, taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance,

De Monseñor Fran Cilia
_____________________________________
Al entrar en esta semana que consideramos la más santa de todas,
tratamos de unirnos a la Pasión del Señor, para compartir también Su
Resurrección. Podríamos preguntarnos dónde podemos comenzar
nuestros viajes personales y comunitarios esta semana. Tal vez,
podamos tomar como punto de partida la segunda lectura de este
domingo de San Pablo a los Filipenses, donde encontramos esto:
“Vuestra actitud debe ser la de Cristo Jesús,
Quien, aunque tenía la forma de Dios. . .
se despojó a sí mismo, tomando la forma de esclavo,
viniendo en semejanza humana; y encontrándose en apariencia humana,
se humilló a sí mismo, haciéndose obediente hasta la muerte,
incluso la muerte en una cruz.”
Que nuestra participación en los misterios de la Cruz del Señor y Resurrección nos ayude, a todos y cada
uno, a servir con amor, como lo hizo Él.
En anticipación del Triduo Pascual. . .
_________________________________________________________
El Jueves Santo, 14 de abril, La misa vespertina de la Cena del Señor se
celebrará a las 7:30 p.m. Incluirá el “Mandatum” (Lavatorio de Pies) y la
procesión al Altar de Reposo en la Carpa. La tradicional Santa Colecta para
Los Pobres será a las obras de San Vicente de Paul. Esta misa será trilingüe
(inglés, español y portugués).
El Viernes Santo, 15 de abril, vamos a celebrar la Liturgia de la Pasión del
Señor (Liturgia de la Palabra, Adoración de la Cruz y Santa Comunión) a las
12:00 y 5:30pm en inglés ya las 7:00pm en español. El Viernes Santo, la
colecta es para la preservación de sitios santos en Tierra Santa.
La liturgia trilingüe de la Vigilia Pascual del Sábado Santo (Servicio de la Luz, Liturgia de la
Palabra, Liturgia del Bautismo y Liturgia de la Eucaristía) comenzará al aire libre con la Bendición del
Fuego Nuevo a las 8:30 p. m.
El Domingo de Resurrección seguiremos el horario habitual de misas dominicales. Las Misas
incluirán la Renovación de las Promesas Bautismales y bendición con el Agua de Pascual.
Flores para Jueves Santo y Semana Santa
________________________________________________________________
Con gusto aceptaremos sus ofrendas para El Altar de Reposo y Pascua. Este año, el
Altar estará en la Carpa. Nos encantaría ver lirios de cala y otras plantas primaverales
(azaleas, lirios, etc.) para esa noche. Además, para Semana Santa, esperamos poder
utilizar esas plantas y flores, además de donaciones de Lirios de Pascua. Estaremos recibiendo flores
hasta el medio día del Sábado Santo. Le agradeceríamos su consideración.
Apelación Diocesana Anual

Boletim Paroquial Português
Domingo de Ramos– C
Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda
______________________________________________
“Hosana ao Filho de David!” Assim bradava a multidão quando Jesus
entrava montado numa jumenta na cidade de Jerusaém!
“ Crucifica-O! Crucifica-O!” Assim bradava a multidão no
julgamento de Jesus perante Pilatos; que cobardamente sucumbiu aos
apetites da multidão.
Tal como á dois mil anos as multidões de hoje exultam e condenam ao desbarato e comforme os
apetites condicionados pelos meios de comunicação. Caiem na idolatria de elevar e apoiar leaders sem
respeito pelas meios de governar os seus povos com justiça e equidade e no processo desrespeitar as
leis que o Senhor nos deixou para vivermos em paz, harmonia e felecidade. Poucos estavam ao lado de
Jesus e até os Apóstolos que O acompanharam na sua vida pública:Pedro negou Jesus três veses e
Judas O traiu entregando-O aos leaders dos judeus. Também hoje oa representantes governamentais
apoiam os leaders que subjugam os pobres, os indefesos, o futuro das crianças, traindo o juramento de
proteger as comunidades que os elegerem na suposta ideia de eles governarem para o bem comum do
povo. Quando o sacerdote der entrada na nossa missa ao gesto de abanar os ramos e ao cantar-mos
“Hosana Tu reinarás” pensemos e analizemos em que grupo nos situamos. Estaremos ao lado da
multidão que gritava; “Crucifica-O!”; ou estaremos com Maria, João, Madalena, Simão o Cireneu, José
de Arimateia, etc. São dois grupos distintos: Um grupo vai -se nas ondas tal e qual as “marés” (ideias
fictícias e enganadoras) que os levam ou do grupo pequeno, que mesmo sofrendo, com a paixão e
morte do: Filho, o amigo, o irmão... continuou com Ele até á morte de cruz. A pergunta que se faz neste
dia é esta: Em que grupo nos situamos?
O Domingo de Ramos; também nos fala dos lados extremos da vida: A alegria exuberante de sermos
filhos de Deus e de viver a vida cristanmente na promessa da Ressurreição nos legada por Jesus na
Páscoa. Essa alegria está espelhada nos hosanas dirigidos a Jesus na Sua entrada em Jerusalem. No
outro lado está o egoismo e o grande sinal de tristeza e crueldade daqueles que se deixam levar pelas
más decisões que leaders sem escrúpulos os motivam para fazerem mal e destruirem os valores de
unidade e amor fraterno. Nos nossos dias resulta no mesmo: não há victórias no mal, na guerra, no
crime, tudo isso e mais resultam dum aglomorado de más decisões que fazemos e essas são contrárias
ás recomendaçs que Deus nos faz. Por outro lado temos a oportunidade de seguir e apoiar Jesus tal
como: Maria e os outros o fizeram cientes das consequências que esta decisão acarretava. Seguir Jesus
teve consequências trágicas no tempo da Sua paixão e morte tal e qual nos nossos dias acitar Jesus, dar
verdadeiro testemunho de ser cristão acarreta as consequências de não estar na moda, de ser simplório,
e outros epitetos deselegantes e insultantes. Mas seguir fielmente Jesus e viver com Ele e por Ele tem
as consequências de viver com Ele na felecidade da vida eterna.
Entrada na Semana Santa
____________________________________
A partir do próximo Sábado entraremos na Semana Santa e consequentemente a isso sugerimos o
seguinte: (1) Olhem na secção em inglês do boletim para verificarem os horários e serviços litúrgicos
do Tríduo Pascal. Alguns dos serviços será multilingual. (2) No próximo . (4) Todas as tigelas de arroz
tem que ser entregues no escritório na Quinta-feira do dia 7 de Abril próximo. Recomenda-se que a
soma total colhida na tigela seja esse total convertido em cheque. (5) Estejam atentos que as
celebrações do Tríduo Pascal podem se feitas em lugares diferentes tal como : a igreja, a tenda e até o
Salão Paroquial. (6) Enquanto que em muitos locais o uso da máscara esteja retirado na nossa igreja e
em qualquer celebração ou serviço litúrgico tem que se usar a mácara. Pelo que se sabe a pandemia não
acabou e requere-se cautela e boas práticas saudáveis são sugeridas pelo pastor da nossa paróquia.
Um Santo e Alegre Domingo para todos!!
