REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
The conviction and enthusiasm of eyewitness
accounts gives them a certain ring of truth. Yet the
more eyewitnesses there are the more variance
there may be in the details reported. Different
witnesses may have seen different things--or seen
things differently--but they usually agree on the
fundamental truth about what happened.
The Easter scriptures record the eyewitness
accounts of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter.
Their credibility rests not on the precise details,
but on the conviction and enthusiasm of the
eyewitnesses. It is their belief in the Resurrection
that convinces others to believe.
Like these scriptural eyewitnesses, today’s
believers are also “witnesses chosen by God in
advance, who ate and drank with him after he
rose from the dead” (Acts 10:41). We are called
to “testify that he is the one appointed by God”
(10:42) by giving eyewitness accounts of how
the Spirit of the risen Christ is alive today. Our
accounts may not agree in every detail, but the
core truth will be the same, that Jesus Christ is
risen indeed! --Virginia Stillwell

FIGHT AGAINST
‘LOGIC OF PROFIT,’
UNEMPLOYMENT IS UNJUST,
POPE SAYS
Because unemployment is an injustice that harms
human dignity, people must make certain that
the “logic of solidarity and the logic of justice”
prevail over the “logic of profit,” Pope Francis said.
“When people don’t earn their bread, they lose
their dignity. This is the tragedy of our times,
especially for young people, who, without work,
have no prospects for the future and can become
easy prey to criminal organizations,” he said March
25 at the end of his general audience talk in St.
Peter’s Square. The pope’s comments came after
he greeted a delegation of state workers from
Calabria in southern Italy; they were led by Bishop
Luigi Renzo of Mileto-Nicotera-Tropea. Public
employees of the province of Vibo Valentia, where
Bishop Renzo’s diocese is located, had not been
paid for the past five months and were planning
a two-day general strike. The pope said he was
aware of the workers’ “serious economic situation”
and expressed his prayers and concern for their
“unbearable” difficulties. Launching a “heartfelt
appeal,” Pope Francis asked that “the logic of profit
not prevail over that of solidarity and justice.”
VATICAN CITY (CNS)
POPE’S PALM SUNDAY
HOMILY
Below is the Vatican-provided translation of Pope
Francis’ Palm Sunday homily, which was given this
morning in St. Peter’s Square:
At the heart of this celebration, which seems so
festive, are the words we heard in the hymn of the
Letter to the Philippians: “He humbled himself”
(2:8). Jesus’ humiliation.
These words show us God’s way and the way of
Christians: it is humility. A way which constantly
amazes and disturbs us: we will never get used to
a humble God!
Humility is above all God’s way: God humbles
himself to walk with his people, to put up with
their infidelity. This is clear when we read the Book
6
DIOCESE & WORLD NEWS
of Exodus. How humiliating for the Lord to hear
all that grumbling, all those complaints against
Moses, but ultimately against him, their Father,
who brought them out of slavery and was leading
them on the journey through the desert to the
land of freedom.
This week, Holy Week, which leads us to Easter, we
will take this path of Jesus’ own humiliation. Only
in this way will this week be “holy” for us too!
We will feel the contempt of the leaders of his
people and their attempts to trip him up. We
will be there at the betrayal of Judas, one of the
Twelve, who will sell him for thirty pieces of silver.
We will see the Lord arrested and carried off like
a criminal; abandoned by his disciples, dragged
before the Sanhedrin, condemned to death,
beaten and insulted. We will hear Peter, the “rock”
among the disciples, deny him three times. We will
hear the shouts of the crowd, egged on by their
leaders, who demand that Barabas be freed and
Jesus crucified. We will see him mocked by the
soldiers, robed in purple and crowned with thorns.
And then, as he makes his sorrowful way beneath
the cross, we will hear the jeering of the people
and their leaders, who scoff at his being King and
Son of God.
This is God’s way, the way of humility. It is the way
of Jesus; there is no other. And there can be no
humility without humiliation.
Following this path to the full, the Son of God took
on the “form of a slave” (cf. Phil 2:7). In the end,
humility means service. It means making room for
God by stripping oneself, “emptying oneself”, as
Scripture says (v. 7). This is the greatest humiliation
of all.
There is another way, however, opposed to the
way of Christ. It is worldliness, the way of the
world. The world proposes the way of vanity, pride,
success… the other way. The Evil
One proposed this way to Jesus
too, during his forty days in the
desert. But Jesus immediately
rejected it. With him, we too can
overcome this temptation, not
only at significant moments, but
in daily life as well.
In this, we are helped and
DIOCESE & WORLD NEWS
comforted by the example of so many men and
women who, in silence and hiddenness, sacrifice
themselves daily to serve others: a sick relative, an
elderly person living alone, a disabled person…
We think too of the humiliation endured by all
those who, for their lives of fidelity to the Gospel,
encounter discrimination and pay a personal
price. We think too of our brothers and sisters who
are persecuted because they are Christians, the
martyrs of our own time. They refuse to deny Jesus
and they endure insult and injury with dignity.
They follow him on his way. We can speak of a
“cloud of witnesses” (cf. Heb 12:1).
Let us set about with determination along this
same path, with immense love for him, our
Lord and Saviour. Love will guide us and give us
strength. For where he is, we too shall be (cf. Jn
12:26). Amen . [Original text: Italian]

SYNOD LEADER: THE POPE’S
‘GREAT REVOLUTION’ IS
ONE OF ‘LANGUAGE AND
ATTITUDES’
In an address to the bishops of Slovakia, the
Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops said
that “the great revolution” of Pope Francis is “the
revolution of language and attitudes, in integral
fidelity to the doctrine of all time, the revolution of
tenderness and mercy.”
The Pope teaches us “not to indulge in defeatism
and to avoid polarizations,” Cardinal Lorenzo
Baldisseri said on March 24. There is “a new style,
in which the contents of the irrenouncable Gospel
of life are all reaffirmed and proclaimed,” while
“avoiding the temptation to impose unbearable
burdens.”
“The culture of life is one
with the ‘option for the
poor,’” he added, as he
distinguished the option
for the poor from welfare
programs and decried
“libertarian biotechnology
ideologies.”

risen (Acts 10:34a, 37-43).
Psalm — This is the day the Lord has made; let us
rejoice and be glad (Psalm 118).
(1) Second Reading — All who are baptized, set
your hearts in heaven (Colossians 3:1-4) or
(2) Second Reading — Christ our Passover is sacrificed; therefore let us celebrate (1 Corinthians
5:6b-8).
Gospel — Three witnesses, Mary, Peter, and John;
each responds to the empty tomb (John 20:1-9) or
Mark 16:1-7 (or, at an afternoon or evening Mass,
Luke 24:13-35).

mystery we celebrate today, the culmination of
three days laden with mystery and meaning.
You can hear the older term, and the
resistance to English influence, in the Irish “Casca”
and Scottish “Pask.” Romance languages stay close
to the deep paschal tradition, with the French
“Pâques,” Spanish “Pascua” and Italian “Pasqua.”
Memories of our pagan past with “Oester” will
not soon fade away: even Japanese Christians
are under her spell, for today’s feast is called “
I-suta.” Swahili, a young language, takes the more
traditional route with “Pasaka.” Each language
yields a rich insight into the feast. Spanish includes
a sense that today is a “big Sunday” by adding the
designation “Pascua” to the greatest feasts, such as
“Pascua de la Natividad” (Christmas). Once Christ is
risen, every step of life’s journey is illuminated by
the light of the Pasch! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR
TRADITION
Our tradition has a way of honoring ageold customs, and is patient with how practices
unfold in different places. The name of today’s
feast illustrates this well. English is a Germanic
language, and our word “Easter,” or German
“Oester,” points back to the pagan goddess
Eoestre, the star of the vernal equinox feast. The
Greek title “Pasch” reaches back in a more helpful
manner to the Hebrew “Pesach,” or “Passover.”
“Paschal Triduum” may be slow to replace “Easter”
in our vocabulary, but it is clearer about the
8
BÚSQUEDA
El Domingo de Pascua es un día para la
búsqueda. Las primeras comunidades cristianas se
reunían alrededor de los apóstoles para conocer
más sobre la vida y el ministerio del Señor Jesús.
San Pablo les dijo a los colosenses bautizados que
buscaran “las cosas de arriba”. María Magdalena
fue a la tumba para encontrar el cuerpo del Señor
y ungirlo. Nosotros vamos a la iglesia el Domingo
de Pascua buscando muchas cosas. Para algunos
de nosotros, este es un trayecto anual cuando
buscamos conectarnos con el fundamento de la
fe cristiana. Para otros, este día es la culminación
de una larga trayectoria para el arrepentimiento
de la Cuaresma. Para los nuevos bautizados
es el primer día de una nueva vida llena de
promesas y expectativas. No importa lo que sea
que busquemos, inspirémonos con la acción del
discípulo amado de Jesús quien al ver el sudario
dentro de la tumba “vio y creyó”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA FE EN CRISTO
La fe en Cristo y el compromiso con él
llevan consigo la garantía de una vida para
siempre y..., el estímulo de la esperanza
para luchar constantemente contra todo
aquello que amenaza la existencia humana.
