Easter
Envelopes:
Most
Catholics look at Christmas and Easter as
occasions to make an offering to the
Parish larger than what is given on a
weekly basis. Everyone knows that times
are hard right now. The leadership at
Epiphany understands that but still faces
major financial obligations. We urge you
to be a good steward of the Parish that we
all so love. All gifts—big or
small— are equally appreciated and
very much needed. Thank you! Easter giving
envelopes are available at the entrances
of the church.

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Mark 14:1-15:47
[15:1-39]
This Palm Sunday reading of
the Passion of the Lord is taken from
Mark's Gospel. It was the first written
account of how Jesus suffered and died. It
is also the shortest version of the
Passion and is written almost like a
newspaper story that presents "just the
facts."
The most important truth Mark wants
to communicate is that Jesus is the
Messiah, the Son of God, whose suffering
leads to glory. When Jesus cries out from
the cross, "My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?" (Psalm 22:1), he is praying
in the words of the psalmist who continues
to trust God even when all seems
hopeless.
As we read or listen to the Passion,
we try to unite ourselves with Jesus and
all those who suffer injustice in today's
world. 1. Imagine that you are one of the
following people: Pilate, Barabbas, a
Roman soldier, Simon of Cyrene, a member
of the crowd, or the centurion. Describe
your thoughts and feelings about Jesus as
he endures his Passion and
Crucifixion.
2. What does the example of Jesus
teach us about seeking revenge against
others?
3. What insights into human behavior
does the Passion of Jesus give
you?
4. How will you show this week that
you honor Jesus as the Messiah and Son of
God?
