Pastor’s Note ~ Palm Sunday 2021
Our Palm Sunday liturgy is only theater if it has no effect on our Christian
commitment to follow Jesus in our own world so marked by violent threats
to anyone foolish enough to speak truth to power. Riding on a donkey in-
stead of a white horse! We have enough examples of prophets killed for
challenging the status quo: What social justice issues await new leaders in
our own time?
This year we read Mark’s Passion, a straightforward account of the final
hours of Jesus’ life, from his anointing in Bethany to his entombment. By
participating in the Palm Sunday procession and listening actively to the
Passion, we are invited once again to review our own place within the real
liturgy of the world — the “work of the people” that makes us the church in
the modern world, witnesses to Christ, advocates for all those in need.
The body of Christ that dies on the cross is all of us. The body of Christ that is raised from the
dead to new life is all of us. Our solidarity in suffering becomes our shared resurrection.
So extravagant since a simple pin prick of the Son of God could have accomplished it all! What
love and understanding of our human condition that he chose this life and Holy Week. So we get
the message.
Monday, Tuesday, and Spy Wednesday of Holy Week were quiet days for the Nazarene.
Wednesday is so called because, according to Matthew, Judas sold Jesus out that day for chump
change.
On Holy Thursday, our sanctuary becomes the Upper Room. Its altar becomes the long narrow
table where Jesus sat. When He whispers, "This is my body" and "This is my blood." On Holy
Thursday late, our church becomes the Garden of Gethsemane. There the Nazarene undergoes
the dark night of the soul. Before Him is a cruel death. Good Friday is a day that will live in infamy.
We shall crowd into our church for services. The side aisle becomes Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa. We
follow Christ in the Stations of the Cross. We dwell on Sydney Carter's words: "I danced on Friday
when the sky turned black. It's hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body and
they thought I'd gone."
On Holy Saturday, we come mourning to church but full of hope. Emerging from the church on
Easter Sunday, we shout Christ's empty tomb because our hope in the resurrection is actualized.
WE ARE PART OF THAT CROWD. The African-American
song asks the question, "Were you there when they crucified
my Lord? Were you there when they nailed him to a tree?"
The answer is yes, a definite yes. We may not have been
there physically but it was our sin that nailed him to the cross.
It was because of our sin that he endured so much suffering.
Not only was he rejected by the crowd that day, but he was
also abandoned by the heavenly Father. It was bad enough
being rejected by his fellow Jews, the people whom God had
taken special care of over the centuries, but to be rejected by the Father. We can’t begin to imag-
ine how Jesus must have felt when he called out, "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?"
Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday are two sides of the same coin. They are two sides of the faith
God wants you to have in your life. Rejoice and sing as Jesus comes into your life! Weep and
mourn as his death confronts you with your sin. Yes, we were there in the crowd on both days,
shouting ‘Hosanna!’ and later ‘Crucify!’ Because of what Jesus has done for us and our faith in
him, one day we will be in that great crowd gathered around the throne of God, and there everyone
will shout words of praise, heavenly hosannas, that will ring through all eternity, "To him who sits
on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" Rev
(5:13). Amen. Pg 3

Meditación del Evangelio 28 de marzo de 2021 ©LPi
En este Domingo de Ramos, mientras se bendicen las palmas cantamos con gusto: “¡Hosanna al
Hijo de David! ¡Bendito sea el que viene en nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en lo más alto de los cie-
los! (Mateo 21:9). Toda la ciudad estaba de fiesta, estaba alborotada por Jesús. La alegría de esta
celebración queda también plasmada en la liturgia de hoy. La oración de la bendición de las palmas
ayuda y aumenta el gozo en nuestros corazones: “Aumenta, Señor Dios, la fe de los que esperan
en ti, escucha con bondad las suplicas de quienes te invocan, para que, al presentar hoy nuestros
ramos a Cristo victorioso, demos para ti en él frutos de buenas obras. Él, que vive y reina por los
siglos de los siglos. Amén.
También, escuchamos la Pasión del Señor de acuerdo a San Marcos. Así, da comienzo la Semana
Santa o Semana Mayor. Toda la celebración nos prepara para el Triduo Pascual. Nuestros catecú-
menos serán bautizados y daremos comienzo a la
cincuentena Pascual. Tomemos conciencia de los
dos triunfos de Jesús --- La entrada triunfal a la Ciu-
dad de Jerusalén y su triunfo de la resurrección ---
En esta semana vamos a conocer la gran capaci-
dad del amor de Dios, al ver de lo que es capaz
Jesús por todos nosotros. El reto, es de qué somos
