   Many people spread their cloaks on the road,
        and others spread leafy branches
         that they had cut from the fields.
Those preceding him as well as those following kept
                crying out: "Hosanna!
  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
    Blessed is the kingdom of our father David
                   that is to come!
              Hosanna in the highest!"

Pastor’s Letter                                              Welcome Home
March 28, 2021

Dear Parish Family,

On Palm Sunday I always remember my first trip to the Holy Land. It was a long flight, more than twelve
hours from JFK to Israel, and with the time difference, we landed the following afternoon from the evening
we left. We met our guide, who after settling us in the bus for another long journey to Galilee, cheerfully
greeted us with a warm “Welcome Home!”

Yes, the Holy Land is our spiritual home. The city of Jerusalem is especially important because it is the
place of the dying and rising of Jesus. It is the city of the washing of feet and celebration of the Last Supper.
It is spiritual home also to Judaism and Islam. Even as we cherish this sacred land we see it marked by all of
the political and religious conflicts that mark our lives.

As we celebrate the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem today, we also mark the beginning of Holy
Week. Holy Week is a kind of spiritual home base for all of us, an opportunity to return to the most
important events of our spiritual lives. We are entering God’s city. Our church and community are God’s
city. The world is God’s city and this year it is a world filled with illness and grief, a world that is reaching
out for hope. But what will life be like in this city of God? How will God bring us hope? Holy Week helps
us to understand what God is doing in our world and in our lives.

Holy Thursday remembers the institution of the Eucharist and profoundly connects the Eucharist to simple
acts of loving service. As we remember Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet, we are called to reflect on what
our world would be like if we were all more devoted to serving one another as Christ served his disciples.

Good Friday remembers the suffering and dying of Jesus and how the passion of the Lord is connected to the
many ways that people suffer in our world. The message of God’s mercy and compassion reminds us that
God is near to the sick, the dying and the bereaved, and especially to those who, like Jesus, suffer from the
violence and hatred of others. Good Friday invites us to be near and stay near to those who are hurting in
God’s city.

The celebrations of Easter are always beautiful. They are even more meaningful when we have walked the
entire journey with the Lord from triumphal entrance into the Holy City to the place of his resurrection. I
hope that as you celebrate the entrance of God into our city today, you will also plan to be with us at all the
special celebrations of this most Holy Week.

Perhaps this week is the right time for you to come to church “live and in person.” Or maybe it is better for
you to keep safe and to join us online. However you choose to celebrate this week, remember that you are
always welcome here at Sacred Hearts.

Welcome home!

 Sincerely yours in Christ!

Reconciliation in Holy Week

Receiving the Sacrament of reconciliation is an excellent
practice in the season of Lent. Our parish celebrates this
sacrament every Saturday from 4:00 to 4:45 PM before
our Saturday evening mass. Our pastor and priests who
assist here are also available by appointment to celebrate the
sacrament.
During Holy Week we will join with all the
parishes of our diocese to celebrate
reconciliation from 3 PM to 8:00 PM on
Monday, March 29th and Holy Saturday from
10 to 11 am. Be sure to take some time to
experience the miracle of God’s healing
forgiveness.

The Gospel of the Entrance into Jerusalem

Mark 11:1-10
When Jesus and his disciples drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethpage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, he
sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately on entering it,
you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone should say to
you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ reply, ‘The Master has need of it and will send it back here at once.’” So
they went off and found a colt tethered at a gate outside on the street, and they untied it. Some of the
bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They answered them just as Jesus had told
them to, and they permitted them to do it. So they brought the colt to Jesus and put their cloaks over it. And
he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut
from the fields. Those preceding him as well as those following kept crying out:
         Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
         Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!
         Hosanna in the highest!

Entrance Hymn: Hosanna to the Son of David
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest.

Refrain:
Lord we lift up your name, with hearts full of praise.
Be exalted, O Lord my God. Hosanna in the highest.

Glory, Glory, Glory to the Kings of Kings.
Glory, Glory, Glory to the Kings of Kings.
Refrain

First Reading: Isaiah: 50:4-7
The Lord GOD has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary
a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning he opens my ear that I may hear; and I have not rebelled,
have not turned back. I gave my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who plucked my beard; my
face I did not shield from buffets and spitting. The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I
have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.

Psalm: My Soul is Thirsting
Refrain: My soul is thirsting, my body pines; for you my heart is longing.
Your love is better than life itself; you are the God who upholds me. You are the God whom I seek.

Second Reading: Philippians 2:6-11
Christ Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in ap-
pearance, he humbled himself, becoming 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, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Gospel Refrain
Love lifted on the cross for me: My Lord, my lord, my salvation.
Love lifted high to set me free: My Lord, my God, my salvation

First Reading: Exodus: 12:1-8, 11-14
Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a
lamb, one apiece for each household. If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in
procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it. The lamb must be a
year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats. You shall keep it until the
fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the
evening twilight. They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in
which they partake of the lamb. That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
“This is how you are to eat it: with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand, you shall eat like those
who are in flight. It is the Passover of the Lord. For on this same night I will go through Egypt, striking down every
firstborn of the land, both man and beast, and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the Lord! But the blood
will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt, no
destructive blow will come upon you. “This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall
celebrate with pilgrimage to the Lord, as a perpetual institution.”

Psalm: Our Blessing Cup
Our blessing cup is a communion with the blood of Christ;
and the bread we break, it is a sharing in the body of the Lord

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Brothers and sisters:
I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took
bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of
me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as
you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the
Lord until he comes.

Gospel: John 13:1-15
Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved
his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the
Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and
that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He
took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’
feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are you
going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you
will understand later.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash
you, you will have no inheritance with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then not only my feet, but my
hands and head as well.” Jesus said to him, “Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed, for
he is clean all over; so you are clean, but not all.” For he knew who would betray him; for this reason, he said,
“Not all of you are clean.” So when he had washed their feet and put his garments back on and reclined at table
again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly
so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one
another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.”
Primera Lectura: Ex 12, 1-8. 11-14
En aquellos días, el Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón en tierra de Egipto: “Este mes será para ustedes el primero de
todos los meses y el principio del año. Díganle a toda la comunidad de Israel: ‘El día diez de este mes, tomará cada uno
un cordero por familia, uno por casa. Si la familia es demasiado pequeña para comérselo, que se junte con los vecinos y
elija un cordero adecuado al número de personas y a la cantidad que cada cual pueda comer. Será un animal sin defecto,
macho, de un año, cordero o cabrito. Lo guardarán hasta el día catorce del mes, cuando toda la comunidad de los hijos
de Israel lo inmolará al atardecer. Tomarán la sangre y rociarán las dos jambas y el dintel de la puerta de la casa donde
vayan a comer el cordero. Esa noche comerán la carne, asada a fuego; comerán panes sin levadura y hierbas amargas.
Comerán así: con la cintura ceñida, las sandalias en los pies, un bastón en la mano y a toda prisa, porque es la Pascua, es
decir, el paso del Señor. Yo pasaré esa noche por la tierra de Egipto y heriré a todos los primogénitos del país de Egipto,
desde los hombres hasta los ganados. Castigaré a todos los dioses de Egipto, yo, el Señor. La sangre les servirá de señal
en las casas donde habitan ustedes. Cuando yo vea la sangre, pasaré de largo y no habrá entre ustedes plaga
exterminadora, cuando hiera yo la tierra de Egipto.
Ese día será para ustedes un memorial y lo celebrarán como fiesta en honor del Señor. De generación en generación
celebrarán esta festividad, como institución perpetua’”.

Segunda Lectura: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Hermanos: Yo recibí del Señor lo mismo que les he trasmitido: que el Señor Jesús, la noche en que iba a ser entregado,
tomó pan en sus manos, y pronunciando la acción de gracias, lo partió y dijo: "Esto es mi cuerpo, que se entrega por
ustedes. Hagan esto en memoria mía".
Lo mismo hizo con el cáliz después de cenar, diciendo: "Este cáliz es la nueva alianza que se sella con mi sangre. Hagan
esto en memoria mía siempre que beban de él".
Por eso, cada vez que ustedes comen de este pan y beben de este cáliz, proclaman la muerte del Señor, hasta que vuelva.

Gospel Verse

Praise and Honor to You O Lord, Jesus Christ

Evangelio

Antes de la fiesta de la Pascua, sabiendo Jesús que había llegado la hora de pasar de este mundo al Padre y habiendo
amado a los suyos, que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el extremo.
En el transcurso de la cena, cuando ya el diablo había puesto en el corazón de Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón, la idea de
entregarlo, Jesús, consciente de que el Padre había puesto en sus manos todas las cosas y sabiendo que había salido de
Dios y a Dios volvía, se levantó de la mesa, se quitó el manto y tomando una toalla, se la ciñó; luego echó agua en una
jofaina y se puso a lavarles los pies a los discípulos y a secárselos con la toalla que se había ceñido.
Cuando llegó a Simón Pedro, éste le dijo: "Señor, ¿me vas a lavar tú a mí los pies?" Jesús le replicó: "Lo que estoy
haciendo tú no lo entiendes ahora, pero lo comprenderás más tarde". Pedro le dijo: "Tú no me lavarás los pies jamás".
Jesús le contestó: "Si no te lavo, no tendrás parte conmigo". Entonces le dijo Simón Pedro: "En ese caso, Señor, no sólo
los pies, sino también las manos y la cabeza". Jesús le dijo: "El que se ha bañado no necesita lavarse más que los pies,
porque todo él está limpio. Y ustedes están limpios, aunque no todos". Como sabía quién lo iba a entregar, por eso dijo:
'No todos están limpios'.
Cuando acabó de lavarles los pies, se puso otra vez el manto, volvió a la mesa y les dijo: "¿Comprenden lo que acabo de
hacer con ustedes? Ustedes me llaman Maestro y Señor, y dicen bien, porque lo soy. Pues si yo, que soy el Maestro y el
Señor, les he lavado los pies, también ustedes deben lavarse los pies los unos a los otros. Les he dado ejemplo, para que
lo que yo he hecho con ustedes, también ustedes lo hagan".
Good Friday Readings

First Reading: Isaiah: 52:13-53:12
 See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and
      greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him—
 so marred was his look beyond human semblance and his appearance beyond that of the sons of man—
 so shall he startle many nations, because of him kings shall stand speechless; for those who have not been
told shall see, those who have not heard shall ponder it. Who would believe what we have heard? To whom
has the arm of the Lord been revealed? He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from the parched
earth; there was in him no stately bearing to make us look at him, nor appearance that would attract us to
him. He was spurned and avoided by people, a man of suffering, accustomed to infirmity, one of those from
whom people hide their faces,
 spurned, and we held him in no esteem. Yet it was our infirmities that he bore, our sufferings that he
endured, while we thought of him as stricken, as one smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for
our offenses, crushed for our sins; upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we
were healed. We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; but the Lord laid upon him the
guilt of us all. Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; like a lamb led to
slaughter or a sheep before the shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth. Oppressed and condemned,
he was taken away, and who would have thought any more of his destiny? When he was cut off from the
land of the living, and smitten for the sin of his people, a grave was assigned him among the wicked and a
burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood. But the Lord was
pleased to crush him in infirmity. If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a
long life, and the will of the Lord shall be accomplished through him. Because of his affliction he shall see
the light in fullness of days; through his suffering, my servant shall justify many, and their guilt he shall
bear. Therefore I will give him his portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoils with the mighty,
because he surrendered himself to death and was counted among the wicked; and he shall take away the sins
of many, and win pardon for their offenses.

Second Reading: Hebrews: 4:14-16; 5:7-9
Brothers and sisters:
Since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold
fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but one who has similarly been tested in every way, So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to
receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. In the days when Christ was in the flesh, he offered prayers
and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was
heard because of his reverence. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered; and when
he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.

Eucharistic Adoration on Fridays from 9 AM to Noon
               Pope Francis has declared this year to be time of inter-
               cessory prayer to St. Joseph. Joseph protected Mary as
               she gave birth to Jesus, he guarded Jesus from
               Herod’s attempts to destroy him, and he watched over
               the life and growth of Jesus with fatherly care. Now
               we ask Joseph to watch over and protect the lives of
               all, especially our children, born and unborn. Join us
               each week immediately following the Friday 9 AM
               Mass.

                                                                                          Reflection On the Gospel
                                                                                                    March 28, 2021

               If your head is spinning this Sunday, you have good reason. It is Palm Sunday, but also Passion Sunday, a
               contrast in two Gospels. First we have the glorious entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in which he is treated and
               greeted like royalty. Later we hear the gruesome details of betrayal, denial, mockery, humiliation, false
Spirituality

               accusations, torture, and brutal execution all of the same Jesus by many of the same people. What happened—
               and in such a short period of time? Hard to imagine—or is it? How many times have we witnessed similar
               fickleness or been guilty of it ourselves? How often hypocrisy or double standard? It is easy to judge the
               ordinary people in Jesus’s passion. It is likely we want to identify with the courageous women who stood with
               Jesus while others hid, but can we honestly and humbly place ourselves in the scene? Where would we be? One
               line in the second Gospel could serve as a test: “The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you
               wish you can do good to them.” We all know the first half of that sentence, but the second?” How do we treat
               the poor? Do we do good to them as is in our power, or do we divert attention elsewhere to avoid that
               responsibility? This Palm Sunday, Holy Week, and throughout the year, let’s try harder to be more consistently
               good, so our heads don’t have to spin and leave us feeling dizzy.

                                                Almsgiving in Lent
                Lent is a perfect time for us to pray for those in need - whether it is for their material, emotional or
                                                            spiritual needs.

               And when you practice fasting and abstinence during these forty days, please remember those of our
                            neighbors who are hungry and consider sharing your gifts with them.

                  One good way to do this is by making a gift to the Catholic Ministries Appeal, which supports
               programs that help feed people in our community each year through both Catholic Charities and our
                                                     Parish Outreach Centers

Our Lady of the Hamptons Regional
                                                 Catholic School

                  Our Lady of the Hamptons is the premier Catholic elementary school on
                  the East End and proudly serves the members of this parish. The growth
                  of this school stands as a great tribute to the vision and courage of the
                  parish and school leadership, dedicated teachers and caring parents over
                  the years. A strong religious background, rigorous academics, modern
                  facilities and a strong fine arts framework are the hallmarks of the OLH
Regional School

                  experience.

                  OLH and its supporting parishes has been challenged to seek grants and
                  donations...investments in our Church and country.... If the school can
                  “find” one hundred thousand dollars in support during the month of
                  March, that amount will be matched by an anonymous donor. His
                  matching gift will go directly to the Morningstar Initiative and, in turn, to
                  Tomorrow’s Hope, the foundation that subsidizes families in need of
                  tuition assistance. This is a win-win situation! If you know of someone
                  who may be interested in accepting this challenge, please contact your
                  pastor, or Sister Kathy. (As of March 8, $21,250 of the goal has been
                  reached)

                  The registration of new students for the September 2021 school year is
                  now open. Interested parents are urged to consult the Admissions and
                  Principal’s pages on www.olh.org for exact details. A personal interview
                  with parent and child is required. Guided tours are offered as well as
                  virtual tours of the facilities. While waiting list status is already
                  operational, interested families are urged to contact the school
                  immediately if interested in being considered. 631-283-9140.
