Cycle A
Fifth Sunday of Lent
A Sunday Reflection
Maybe it will bother you that today we speak of death.
The culture of the image and of the eternal youth prevents us
to stop and think a moment about this tragic event in our lives.
Of course neither commercials nor TV show do not talk about
it. Even the world of cinema that so full of violence and deaths,
trivializes the tragedy of death and makes it only virtual. The
facts of the crime, then, although we touch, remain always distant from us. Very little we think that death may come to affect
ourselves or the people dear to us. But there is no doubt that
our turn will come too. The Church’s wisdom has reminded it
on Ash Wednesday: “Remember man that you are dust, and to
dust you shall return.” We are dust, but we delude ourselves to
be gods and immortals. There are signs that remind us - thank
God - that we are mortal men: old age, sickness, and death.
When we do not have answers to these events, we exorcise
them running away from them in various shapes or forgetting
them. Sometimes, we let ourselves be dominated by them, so
we end up in depression or despair. The increase in neurological diseases it is a tangible sign. Yet the dignity of our human
life is not destroyed by death. We were not created to die, but
to live and to live eternally. Jesus comes to give us certainty
and hope. The certainty: Christ lived like us, suffered like us,
died as we die and was buried in a tomb. He also tasted the
bitterness of betrayal, the loneliness of abandonment, the oppression of the pain, the darkness of death. But: Christ is risen!
He is truly risen! He, the only one, he conquered death forever. The hope: life is stronger than death. Christ, who is the
Life, is to give us the victory over death and to open to us the
way to immortality. Do not be afraid: physical death is only a
step. Christ has the power to tear you away from your “eternal”
death, which is the sin, and give you “eternal” life. “I am the
resurrection and the life,” Jesus says. “Do you believe this?”

Una reflexion dominical
Tal vez te molestará que hoy se hable de la muerte. La cultura de la imagen y de la eterna juventud nos impide de pararnos a
pensar un momento sobre este trágico acontecimiento en nuestras vidas. Por supuesto, no nos hablan de ello los anuncios o los programas de televisión. Incluso el mundo del cine, tan lleno de violencia y
muerte, trivializa la tragedia de la muerte o la pone a sólo virtual. Los
hechos del crimen, pues, aunque nos toquen, siempre permanecen
distantes de nosotros. Muy poco pensamos que la muerte puede llegar a afectar a nosotros mismos o a las personas queridas, cercana
de nosotros. Pero no hay duda de que nuestro turno llegará también.
La sabiduría de la Iglesia se lo ha recordado el Miércoles de Ceniza:
“Recuerda, hombre, que polvo eres y al polvo volverás.” Somos
polvo, pero nos engañamos a nosotros mismos pensando de ser
dioses y inmortales. Hay unas señales que nos recuerdan - gracias a
Dios - de que somos hombres mortales: la vejez, la enfermedad, la
muerte. Cuando no tenemos respuestas a estos eventos, nosotros los
exorcizamos huyendo de ellos en diferentes formas u olvidándolos.
El aumento de las enfermedades neurológicas es una señal tangible.
Sin embargo, la dignidad de la vida humana no se ha destruido por la
muerte. Nosotros fuimos creados no para morir, sino para vivir y para
vivir eternamente. Jesús viene a darnos una certeza y una esperanza.
La certeza: Cristo vivió como nosotros, sufrió como nosotros, se murió como nosotros morimos y fue enterrado en una tumba. También
probó la amargura de la traición, la soledad del abandono, la opresión
del dolor, la oscuridad de la muerte. Pero, ¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Ha
verdaderamente resucitado! Él, el único, que venció a la muerte para
siempre. La esperanza: la vida es más fuerte que la muerte. Cristo,
que es la Vida, se nos dará la victoria sobre la muerte y nos abrirá el
camino a la inmortalidad. No temas: la muerte física es sólo un paso.
Cristo tiene el poder de arrancarte de tu muerte “eterna”, que es el
pecado, y darte vida “eterna.” “Yo soy la resurrección y la vida”,
dice Jesús, “¿Crees tú esto?”

Saintly Meditation
Meditation for Palm Sunday
As soon as the Church obtained her freedom in
the fourth century, the faithful in Jerusalem re-enacted the
solemn entry of Christ into their city on the Sunday before
Easter, holding a procession in which they carried branches
and sang the Hosanna (Matthew 21, 1-11). In the early Latin
Church, people attending Mass on this Sunday would hold
aloft twigs of olives, which were not, however, blessed in
those days. This Palm Sunday procession, and the blessing
of palms, seems to have originated in the Frankish Kingdom. The earliest mention of these ceremonies is found in
the Sacramentary of the Abbey of Bobbio in northern Italy
(beginning of the eighth century). The rite was soon accepted in Rome and incorporated into the liturgy. The prayers
used today are of Roman origin. A Mass was celebrated in
some church outside the walls of Rome, and there the palms
were blessed. Then a solemn procession moved into the city
to the basilica of the Lateran or to Saint Peter’s, where the
Pope sang a second Mass. The first Mass, however, was
soon discontinued, and in its place only the ceremony of
blessing was performed. Even today the ritual of the blessing clearly follows the structure of a Mass up to the Sanctus.
Everywhere in medieval times, following the Roman custom,
a procession composed of the clergy and laity carrying palms
moved from a chapel or shrine outside the town, where the palms
were blessed, to the cathedral or main church. Our Lord was represented in the procession, either by the Blessed Sacrament or
by a crucifix, adorned with flowers, carried by the celebrant of
the Mass. Later, in the Middle Ages, a quaint custom arose of
drawing a wooden statue of Christ sitting on a donkey (the whole
image on wheels) in the center of the procession. These statues
(Palm Donkey; Palmesel) are still seen in museums of many European cities.

Meditación de los santos
Meditación para el Domingo
¿Qué significado tiene Domingo de Ramos en
nuestras vidas?
Es una oportunidad para proclamar a Jesús como el rey y
centro de nuestras vidas. Debemos parecernos a esa gente
de Jerusalén que se entusiasmó por seguir a Cristo. Decir
“que viva mi Cristo, que viva mi rey...” Es un día en el que
le podemos decir a Cristo que nosotros también queremos
seguirlo, aunque tengamos que sufrir o morir por Él. Que
queremos que sea el rey de nuestra vida, de nuestra familia,
de nuestra patria y del mundo entero. Queremos que sea
nuestro amigo en todos los momentos de nuestra vida.
La Misa se inicia con la procesión de las palmas. Nosotros
recibimos las palmas y decimos o cantamos “Bendito el que
viene en el nombre del Señor”. El sacerdote bendice las palmas y dirige la procesión. Luego se comienza la Misa. Se lee
el Evangelio de la Pasión de Cristo.
Al terminar la Misa, nos llevamos las palmas benditas a
nuestro hogar. Se acostumbra colocarlas detrás de las puertas en forma de cruz. Esto nos debe recordar que Jesús es
nuestro rey y que debemos siempre darle la bienvenida en
nuestro hogar. Es importante no hacer de esta costumbre una
superstición pensando que por tener nuestra palma, no van a
entrar ladrones a nuestros hogares y que nos vamos a librar
de la mala suerte.
