PROPHETIC ANOINTING
The solemnity of today's readings invites us into silent contemplation of the mystery of our redemption. There are so
many levels on which to understand the events of the Passion. The woman who anoints Jesus acts prophetically in a
way that the other disciples do not yet grasp. Anointing is for priests, prophets, and kings, and also for the preparation
of the dead. It is for healing and for holiness. Her action acknowledges the imminent events of the passion and death of
the Lord, and points toward his resurrection and triumph over evil and death. He is priest and victim, prophet and God,
King and Lord. All these things are acknowledged in her prophetic anointing.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Is today "Palm Sunday" or "Passion Sunday"? Though now known officially as Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord,
confusion is understandable, since before the 1969 reform of the calendar two separate Sundays bore these titles. Passion Sunday was a week before Palm Sunday. To add to the confusion, the Gospel accounts of the Passion of the Lord
were not read on Passion Sunday, but on Palm Sunday! On Passion Sunday, the cross and statues were veiled in full
purple drapes. The organ had fallen silent at the beginning of Lent, and now the sanctuary bells were replaced by
wooden clappers. The introit (opening chant) for the old Mass of Passion Sunday hints at a reason for reform: "Do me
justice, O God, and fight my fight against a faithless people" (Psalm 42). This liturgy was laden with references to the
"infidelity" of the Jews, a theme that gave rise to inflammatory preaching and, in some places, attacks against the persons and property of the Jewish people. This does not stand as a "treasure" of any sort in our tradition. Our authentic
tradition, rather, is the ability to reflect and repent and to seek reconciliation with the Jews, our brothers and sisters in
the love and service of God.

Religious life ought to promote growth in the church by
way of attraction. The church must be attractive. Wake up
the world! Be witnesses of a different way of doing things,
of acting, of living!...It is this witness that I expect of you.
Religious should be men and women who are able to wake
the world up.
-POPE FRANCIS, meeting with the Union of Superiors
General, Nov. 29, 2013
Question Corner
Fr. Ken Doyle answers the question:
What are the Catholic guidelines with regard to eulogies at funeral Masses?
Andrew Cuomo's eulogy at his father's funeral has prompted a number of questions from Catholics. It has also created
a certain awkwardness for parish priests, who are called upon daily to minister to grieving families while remaining
faithful to the liturgical guidelines of the church.
The general rule is clear: Eulogies at Catholic funerals are discouraged. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal
(the rubrics that serve as a preface to the large red book that the priest reads from at the altar) says simply in No. 382:
"At funeral Masses there should usually be a short homily, but to the exclusion of a funeral eulogy of any kind."
The reason for limitations on eulogies has to do with the nature and purpose of a funeral Mass. The liturgy should be
focused on the promise of eternal life and the eventual hope of reunion. It is not meant to be a canonization of the deceased.
Instead it is a tribute to the merciful love of Christ and to the victory over death won by Jesus, together with the prayerful plea that the merits of that victory be extended now to the person being prayed for.
On Tuesday of Holy Week, March 31, 2015, The Most Reverend Edward K. Braxton will celebrate the Mass of
Chrism in our Cathedral of Saint Peter in Belleville. The Mass will begin at 11:30 AM. The Chrism Mass is one of the
principal expressions of the life of our Local Church. On this day, the Priests and the Christian Faithful of the Diocese
gather around Bishop Braxton as he consecrates the Sacred Chrism and blesses the Oil of the Catechumens and
the Oil of the Sick.
The Chrism Mass is celebrated in every cathedral in the world in preparation for the Easter Triduum. Only a bishop
can consecrate chrism, pure olive oil infused with rich fragrance, so this liturgy is a sign of the unity of the local Church
and the bishop's ministry to all who will be baptized and confirmed in our parishes in the coming year. Chrism is also
used in the ordination of priests and bishops and the consecration of new altars. Two other sacramental oils, the unscented olive oil for catechumens and for the sick, will be blessed in the same liturgy and transported carefully to every
parish by the beginning of the Triduum.
Remember when Noah's dove returned with the sign of the world's rebirth? The dove carried an olive branch, a pledge
that God was breathing the world to life again. Yet olives require human nurture. Olives are inedible unless they are
cured by human labor. Olive trees grow on sunny slopes, away from the shade of city walls, so they can only be
properly tended, cured, and laboriously pressed in peace time. The Chrism Mass with its olive oils expresses God's
deepest desires for us, and our resolve to place our lives in service to God's saving, healing, loving plan.
