Burns Dear Parishioners: Last Sunday’s gospel began with some Greeks approaching Phillip and asking, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus." After Phillip went to Andrew, they both went to Jesus and reported the question. Notice the way Jesus answered the question, certainly not by giving them an appointment. He said, "the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” The gospel continues with a vision of how all of this would happen. What a wonderful way to begin Holy Week, the most important week in the Church’s prayer life. Jesus is telling us that if we want to see Him, we must be willing to walk with Him during His most important hours. We can do this best by being present for as many of the Holy Week services as we can, beginning with Palm Sunday, when processions are held at St. Aloysius at two masses, 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., by walking down the Crepe Myrtle Alley into the church carrying blessed palms; by listening to the reading of the Passion at all Palm Sunday masses; by being present for Holy Thursday mass at 7:00 p.m.; by attending Way of the Cross on Good Friday at 12:00 Noon and/or the Good Friday Service at 3:00 p.m.; and by being present for the Easter Vigil Mass at 8:00 p.m. Saturday or one of the Easter Sunday masses. (Note: There will be no 5:30 p.m. mass on Easter Sunday.) Now, I realize that not everyone can attend all of these services, but Jesus is telling us to experience His path to Calvary as best as we can. The Chrism Mass for our Diocese will be celebrated at St. Joseph Cathedral on Wednesday, April 1, at 10:30 a.m. At this special Mass, the priests, deacons and representatives of the entire diocesan community gather with Bishop Muench as he blesses the Holy Oils for use in the coming year. Reconciliation will be offered on Wednesday, April 1 from 6:00 p.m. -7:30 p.m. Please note, reconciliation will not be offered on Holy Saturday, April 4. So if you really want to see Jesus, come and learn how He was willing to die for us. By doing this you may become more intent on handing your life over to those you love and serve.
