LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind and heart to hear the Word of God. Take time to read the
Mass Readings for Sunday, March 24
PRAY WITH SCRIPTURE
The readings for Palm Sunday provide an excellent opportunity to read & pray with scriptures while imagining yourself as one of the people in the scene. This prayerful way of reading scripture allows us to spend quiet time with Jesus letting him reveal to you what he wants to through these readings.
HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST
This weekend at Mass we receive palm fronds which we use to participate in the reenactment of Christ's triumphant arrival in Jerusalem, days before he was crucified. In the Gospels, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a young donkey, and to the lavish praise of the townspeople who threw clothes, or possibly palms or small branches, in front of him as a sign of homage. This was a customary practice for people of great respect. (a)
Palm branches are a widely recognized symbol of peace and victory. The use of a donkey instead of a horse is highly symbolic, it represents the humble arrival of someone in peace, as opposed to arriving in war.(a)
Palm Sunday is the final Sunday of Lent, and the beginning of Holy Week.

Un mensaje del p. Carlos
En este domingo en que aún estamos en cuaresma, la liturgia nos presenta un panorama de lo que sucedía en aquel momento cuando Jesús Se acercaba a la celebración anual de la Pascua judía y Jesús, como todos los años , junto con sus apóstoles y discípulos se dirige a Jerusalén para celebrar allí la fiesta, pero esta vez muchas otras cosas se están moviendo alrededor de esta fiesta, muchos han estado siguiendo a Jesús , algunos han recibido sanación, otros se han convertido, hay confusión en los judíos acerca de este hombre, sencillo, pero con algo muy especial, que ellos no entienden.
¡Hosanna al Hijo de David, Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor!, nosotros queremos seguir a Cristo, aunque sea complejo el proceso de seguimiento, sabiendo que detrás de la complejidad de la vida encontraremos la Luz, Luz de vida en la Pascua Eterna.
San Marcos en su evangelio, nos presenta la narrativa apasionante de la pasión y muerte de Jesús. Jesús enfrenta la traición, la negación y el abandono, todo por amor a nosotros y en obediencia al plan divino de redención. La cortina del templo se rasga, simbolizando el acceso directo a Dios para todos a través de la muerte de Cristo. En el evangelio de este domingo se nos presenta el drama de la salvación, donde la obediencia, la humildad y el sacrificio se entrelazan para ofrecernos el regalo inigualable de la vida eterna.
Este es un tiempo de gracia que es la Cuaresma, somos llamados a reflexionar sobre nuestra propia respuesta a la vida entregada de Jesús de Nazaret. ¿Cómo respondemos al amor desbordante de Dios manifestado en la Cruz? Que el misterio de la pasión y muerte de nuestro Señor Jesucristo resuene en nuestros corazones, transformándonos y guiándonos hacia una vida de amor, servicio y entrega. Que vivamos con gratitud por la redención que se nos ha dado y que, al seguir a Cristo, podamos compartir la esperanza de la resurrección.
La fiesta de hoy nos tiene que hacer pensar en nuestra actitud, ¿nos alejamos de la Iglesia, de Dios, solo porque nos pide una entrega generosa? ¿O no queremos tener un papel activo en mi vida bautismal? ¿También nosotros lo abandonaremos y lo dejaremos solo? Paz Bien!

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
Paying attention to negative behavioral cues
A child may not be able to verbalize when he or she is being abused, but certain signs may prompt caregivers to take a closer look. Red flag behaviors may include a sudden change in behavior, like a child hating something he previously liked, or changing eating habits. Children suffering from abuse may become increasingly moody, aggressive, or depressed, or secretive and defensive. For more red flag behaviors, read the VIRTUS® article “Being Attentive to Children and Youth” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
Read the VIRTUS® article “Being Attentive to Children and Youth” here.
Prestar atención a las señales de comportamiento negativas
Es posible que un niño no pueda verbalizar cuando está siendo abusado, pero ciertas señales pueden llevar a los cuidadores a observarlos más de cerca. Los comportamientos de alerta pueden incluir un cambio repentino de comportamiento, como que un niño odie algo que antes le gustaba o muestre cambios de hábitos alimentarios. Los niños que sufren abuso pueden volverse cada vez más malhumorados, agresivos, deprimidos, reservados y a la defensiva. Para obtener más información, lea el artículo en inglés de VIRTUS® “Being Attentive to Children and Youth” (Poner atención a los niños y jóvenes) en lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
