March 27-28 -- Passion (Palm) Sunday
Our Lenten journey climaxes in this celebration of Holy Week. Throughout these days we
are called to experience with Christ a journey of unselfish love; to die to all that is sinful in
us and to rise to new and renewed life. Will justice and charity be renewed in us through this
journey? Will we make room for those in need as we let selfishness die in us?
Marzo 27-28 – Domingo de Ramos
Nuestro viaje Cuaresmal llega a su clímax en esta celebración de la Semana Santa A lo
largo de estos días estamos llamados a experimentar con Cristo un viaje de amor
generoso; a morir a todo lo que es pecaminoso en nosotros y a levantarnos a una vida
nueva y renovada ¿Serán la justicia y la caridad renovadas en nosotros durante este viaje?
¿Haremos espacio para aquellos necesitados mientras dejamos que el egoísmo muera en
nosotros?
