Holy Land Collection - Good Friday, April 2nd

Your donation will help to support the work of the Franciscans working in the Holy Land. They work to

maintain holy places and shrines; they assist Christians Custody in building thousands of

residential units, senior care facilities and provide medical assistance for the needy. They operate and

support schools open to all, regardless of religion or nationality. They provide scholarships for men to answer the call to become a Franciscan priest or

brother. They provide pastoral care in 29 parishes in the Holy Land with programs to support youth and family, especially in regions affected by war. The

friars organize liturgical celebration for local Christians and pilgrims and share with other

Christian communities in the Holy Land in ongoing ecumenical cooperation.

Thank you for your support!

HOLY WEEK: For the Palm Sunday Gospel, we return to the Gospel according to Mark. The account of the Passion takes up nearly one-third of Mark’s entire Gospel and, of all the evangelists, he is the one who presents the details most graphically. He depicts the humanity of Jesus most intensely, describing his sufferings thoroughly. Mark portrays Jesus as a complete fulfillment of the “Suffering Servant” of Isaiah, the obedient, humble slave dying on a cross of whom Paul speaks in Philippians. But it is important to remember that we call this “Holy Week” and not “sad week” or “suffering week,” for each of the readings today, even the lamentations of the psalm, end in the promise of the strength and hope that is granted by God to those who faithfully give of themselves in love. As we enter into this week through these readings, we must reflect deeply on the sufferings of Jesus, but still be confident in the joy of risen, eternal life that awaits all of us who faithfully walk with him through these days.
