Palm Sunday’s Greeting: It’s the willow that hits you not I, Easter will be in a week.

Лоза б’є не я б’ю, від нині за тиждень буде Великдень

Blessed is He Who Comes in the Name of the Lord

When Jesus entered Jerusalem like a triumphant conqueror, many were astonished at the majesty. But when a short while afterward he entered upon His passion, His appearance was ignoble, an object of derision. In the one Jesus is surrounded by glory and honor, in the other He has neither dignity nor beauty. In the one He is the joy of all and the glory of the people, in the other the butt of men and the laughing stock of the people. In the one He receives the acclamation: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes as the king of Israel. In the other there are shouts that He is guilty of death and He is reviled for having set himself up as king of Israel. In the procession the people meet Jesus with palm branches, in the passion they slap Him in the face and strike His head with a rod. In the one they extol Him with praises, in the other they heap insults upon Him. In the one they compete to lay their clothes in His path, in the other He is stripped of His own

clothes. In the one He is welcomed to Jerusalem as a just king and savior, in the other He is thrown out of the city as a criminal, condemned as an impostor. In the one He is mounted on a colt and accorded every mark of honor; in the other He hangs on the wood of the cross, torn by whips, pierced with wounds, and abandoned by His own. If, then, we want to follow our leader without stumbling through prosperity and through adversity, let us keep our eyes upon Him, honored in the procession, undergoing ignominy and suffering in the passion, yet unshakably steadfast in all such changes of fortune. Lord Jesus, you are the joy and salvation of the whole world; whether we see You seated on an ass or hanging on the cross, let each one of us bless and praise You, so that when we see You reigning on high we may praise You forever and ever, for to You belong praise and honor throughout all ages. Amen.

Guerric of Igny

We remember Christ's entrance into Jerusalem one week before His death and

Resurrection. This ancient holyday has always been marked with much joy and hope,

for it is a sign and portend of things to come, namely Christ's sacrifice on the Cross

and His Resurrection on the third day. We will bless and distribute willow branches

after the Divine Liturgy and blessing of oil and anointing all the Faithful.

Cardinal Lubomyr Husar addressed

Ukrainian parliament

On March 17, 2017 The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Ukrainian Revolution 1917-1921. Cardinal Lubomyr Husar, Archbishop Emeritus of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church addressed the assembly. According to Gazeta.ua, Cardinal Lubomyr Husar addressed the Parliament: “Ukraine is to achieve the public good when citizens of the country are protected. “We have learned that political activity - is one of the high sacrificial ministries. The person to whom the people entrust their fate shall be careful when treating their own calling. This person must comprehend that every citizen of the state should feel secure and through joined efforts attain a state called the public good. I think that the experience we gained and still recruit, enrich themselves. So there is real hope that the great things will come true. Where each of us will feel happy in their own country.” After these words, the Cardinal was given a standing ovation by MPs and government members.

A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and

smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our

possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer

space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more

computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These

are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and

nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
