Domingo de Ramos 28 de Marzo del 2021
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Estamos iniciando La Semana Santa, denominada antiguamente
«semana mayor» o «semana grande». Esta es la semana que conmemora
la Pasión de Cristo e inicia con el Domingo de Ramos. Desde el siglo V se
celebraba en Jerusalén con una procesión la entrada de Jesús en la ciudad
santa, poco antes de ser crucificado.El Domingo de Ramos -pregón del
misterio pascual- comprende dos celebraciones: la procesión de ramos y la
eucaristía. Lo que importa en la primera parte no es el ramo bendito, sino
la celebración del triunfo de Jesús. Los ramos nos muestran que Jesús va a
sufrir, va a morir, pero como vencedor; resucitara. El domingo de Ramos
es la inauguración de la Pascua, o paso de las tinieblas a la luz, de la humillación a la gloria, del pecado a la
gracia y de la muerte a la vida.
La segunda parte de la Semana Santa está constituida por el Triduo Pascual, que conmemora, paso a
paso, los últimos acontecimientos de la vida de Jesús, desarrollados en tres días; el Jueves Santo, el Viernes
Santo y el Domingo de Resurrecion.
En el evangelio de hoy escucharemos que una mujer llego con un frasco de perfume muy caro, de
nardo puro; quebró el frasco y derramó el perfume en la cabeza de Jesús. Algunos dijeron indignados: “¿A
qué viene este derroche de perfume? Podía haberse vendido por más de trescientos denarios para dárselos a
los pobres”. Trescientos denarios era el salario de un año de una persona normal que trabajaba en esa época.
Esta mujer dio todo el salario de un año como símbolo del amor que le tuvo a Jesús porque mucho le había
