                                   pastor’s note
                                    Today begins the most sacred week of our liturgical experience, Holy Week. Beginning
                                    with the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem which we remember on Palm Sunday,
                                    we start the final journey to the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, the trial and
                                    condemnation of our Lord culminating in His crucifixion and death, the removal of the
                                    body of Christ from the cross and its placement in the dark and lifeless tomb. Then, there
                                    is silence.

                                    It isn't until Saturday evening of next weekend, at 8:15pm, that we see the hope of
                                    what God has accomplished for us. The darkness of sin and death is not the ultimate
                                    declaration about the life of Christ. Rather, the darkness is not triumphant but the light
                                    that has come into the world conquers all, even death itself. So journey with us this week
                                    and re-immerse yourself in the grace and power of what these days proclaim, recall and
                                    evoke. These are the very days that define our lives and the faith that inspires those lives
                                    to be lived in the name of the one who came to free us from sin and death.

Pay particular attention to the special Holy Week schedule that is found on page three of today's bulletin. The times
and events of the final days of this week are unlike any other week of the year. And you don't want to miss out on all
that's available for us to participate in as we recall the deep love and boundless mercy of our God.

And just as we took up a special collection on Ash Wednesday at the start of this season, on Good Friday we once
again take up an offering that completely goes to support the work of the Church in the Holy Land and the Christian
communities that are so much a minority there, but are nonetheless a visible and ongoing presence of what started
literally 2,000 years ago when Christ sent His disciples out to continue the work of the Kingdom. The Christian
community is a minority throughout the Middle East and this is our one main chance every year to show our care for
and solidarity with them. Please be generous.

Finally, on Tuesday of Holy Week the priests from throughout the Archdiocese of Denver gather at the Cathedral with
our Archbishop for a special celebration called the Chrism Mass. In it, all the holy oils that are used for the sacraments
throughout the coming year are blessed and distributed to the parishes. And in a sign of our unity with our Archbishop,
the priests annually renew our commitment to live out the calling we have received to be priests for the people here in
the Archdiocese. Please remember and pray for the priests this coming Tuesday.

– Msgr. Tom

PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD

  a reflection on
 today’s readings
Grow
Palm Sunday can seem like a study in contrasts. We hear the
jubilant account of Jesus riding triumphantly into Jerusalem.
Then we listen to the Passion narrative, reminded that
Jesus' kingship bears little resemblance to royalty as we
perceive it. He will suffer and He will die. As Paul describes
it, "He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of
death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly
exalted Him." Jesus tries to explain this to the disciples, who
don't fully grasp the events about to take place, instead
quarreling over who would be the greatest. Yet even in this
chaos of misunderstanding, Jesus continues to teach them,
promising that those who would stand by Him in His trials
will join Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. There are certainly
times when we fail to fully perceive and understand all that
the Lord is teaching us or why we are undergoing certain
trials and difficulties. As we enter into Holy Week, we can
ask Jesus to help us understand the meaning of the cross in
our own lives, using this time to reflect on the meaning of
His sacrifice for each of us.

Go
As we listen to the Passion narrative, we hear Peter betray
Jesus, the soldiers jeer at Him and a passerby being told to
carry Christ's cross. Only Luke's account describes the two
criminals, one of whom demanded that Jesus "save yourself
and us." The second criminal rebukes Him, asking Jesus to
"remember me when you come into your Kingdom." After
Jesus dies, the centurion glorifies God, a good man takes
Him down from the cross and the women prepare His body
for burial. As we enter Holy Week, we will have time to
reflect on Jesus' last days, but also on the individuals in the
crowd the day He died. How did they react? How would we
have reacted? What can we learn from the women who
stayed beside Jesus, the criminal who looked beyond his
own pain and sin to see Jesus as Messiah and even Peter
in his initial betrayal? During the week ahead, we can also
make an effort to attend each liturgy of the Triduum using
this time to deepen our faith as we prepare for Easter.

Act
Take time to read the Passion narrative at home. Invite
Jesus into your heart. If you've fallen a little behind on
your Lenten commitments, Holy Week is a great time to hit
refresh.
