“Go into the village opposite you, and as you enter it you will find a colt tethered on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here. And if anyone should ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you will answer, ‘The Master has need of it.’” The events of Holy Week are so well known to us. Beginning today they unfold before us again. We

solemnly bring the prayers, sacrifices and good works of Lent to their conclusion. The days before us, the triduum, reliving the paschal mystery, are more than tradition. The Christ, crucified and rejected is real for us today. Jesus’ directive to the two disciples is directed to us. If anyone asks why you are living this Holy Week, the answer is the same: ‘The Master has need of it.’ Our loving God is not asking us simply to recall or remember, but challenges us to discover the passion of Christ in our own time. As He was led through the streets to Calvary, many saw and continued business as usual. Others perhaps thought that that criminal was getting what he deserved. This is because they do not know Christ. For us believers, the tragedy of the Via Dolorsa leads to Calvary, to be followed by the joy of resurrection. This is not a week of failure, but eventual victory. The passion and death of Christ leads to the glorious resurrection. May the words of the gospel express the wish of Jesus for us this week. May it be our mantra: ‘the Master has need of us.’ May this be a special week of prayer and devotion. By Rev. William J. Reilly

“Vayan al pueblo que está enfrente y, al entrar, encontrarán un asno atado, que nadie ha montado todavía. Desátenlo y tráiganlo; y si alguien les pregunta: ‘¿Qué están haciendo?’, respondan: ‘El Señor lo necesita.’” Conocemos bien los eventos de Semana Santa. Empezando hoy, se despliegan frente a nosotros de nuevo. Solemnemente concluimos las oraciones, sacrificios, y buenas obras de la Cuaresma. Los días de trívium cuando revivimos el misterio pascual son más que la tradición. Cristo crucificado, rechazado, es real para nosotros hoy. Las instrucciones de Jesús a sus dos discípulos se nos dirigen a nosotros. Si alguien les pregunta por qué están viviendo esta Semana Santa, la respuesta es la misma: ‘El Señor lo necesita.’ Nuestro amoroso Dios no nos pide que simplemente recordemos, sino que nos reta a descubrir la pasión de Cristo en nuestros tiempos. Al pasar por las calles camino al Calvario, muchos lo vieron y continuaron sus labores normales. Otros quizá pensaron que el criminal recibía lo que merecía. Esto fue porque no conocían a Cristo. Para los creyentes, la tragedia de la Vía Dolorosa es seguida por la alegría de la resurrección. Esta no es una semana de fracaso, sino de victoria. La pasión y muerte de Cristo llevan a la gloriosa resurrección. Ojalá que las palabras del evangelio expresen el deseo de Jesús para nosotros esta semana. Que sea nuestra mantra: ‘El Señor nos necesita.’ Que sea esta una semana especial de oración y devoción. Escrito por Rev. William J. Reilly

“Festeggiamo oggi l’entrata messianica di Gesù a Gerusalemme; in ricordo del suo trionfo, benediciamo le palme e leggiamo il racconto della sua passione e della sua morte. È il profeta Isaia con il suo terzo cantico sul servo sofferente di Iahvè che ci prepara ad ascoltare questo passo del Vangelo. La sofferenza fa parte della missione

del servo. Essa fa anche parte della nostra missione di cristiani. Non può esistere un servo coerente di Gesù se non con il suo fardello, come ci ricorda il salmo di oggi. Ma nella sofferenza risiede la vittoria. “Egli spogliò se stesso, assumendo la condizione di servo, umiliò se stesso, facendosi obbediente fino alla morte, e alla morte di croce”. E, come il suono trionfale di una fanfara, risuonano le parole che richiamano l’antico inno cristiano sulla kenosi citato da san Paolo: “Per questo Dio l’ha esaltato al di sopra di tutto”. L’intera gloria del servo di Iahvè è nello spogliarsi completamente, nell’abbassarsi, nel servire come uno schiavo, fino alla morte. La parola essenziale è: “Per questo”. L’elevazione divina di Cristo è nel suo abbassarsi, nel suo servire, nella sua solidarietà con noi, in particolare con i più deboli e i più provati. Poiché la divinità è l’amore. E l’amore si è manifestato con più forza proprio sulla croce, sulla croce dalla quale è scaturito il grido di fiducia filiale nel Padre. “Dopo queste parole egli rese lo spirito”, e noi ci inginocchiamo - secondo la liturgia della messa - e ci immergiamo nella preghiera o nella meditazione. Questo istante di silenzio totale è essenziale, indispensabile a ciascuno di noi. Che cosa dirò al Crocifisso? A me stesso? Al Padre? (www.lachiesa.com)
