Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., had been Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, since 1998. He was born on December 17, 1936 in Buenos Aires, to an Italian immigrant who worked on the railroads and his wife, also of Italian descent. He was ordained for the Jesuits on December 13, 1969 during his theological studies at the Theological Faculty of San Miguel. He was novice master in San Miguel, where he also taught theology. He served as Provincial for Argentina from 1973 to 1979 and as rector of the Philosophical and Theological Faculty of San Miguel from 1980 to 1986. After completing his doctoral dissertation in Germany, he returned to his homeland to serve as a confessor and spiritual director in Córdoba. On May 20, 1992 he was appointed titular Bishop of Auca and Auxiliary of Buenos Aires, receiving episcopal consecration on June 27. On June 3, 1997 he was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Buenos Aires and succeeded Cardinal Antonio Quarracino on February 28, 1998. He was also Ordinary for Easternrite faithful in Argentina, who lack an Ordinary of their own rite. Archbishop Bergoglio was named cardinal by Blessed John Paul II on February 21, 2001. He served two terms as President of the Bishops’ Conference of Argentina from November 8, 2005 until November 8, 2011. He has served on the Congregation of Clergy, Congregation of Divine Worship and Sacraments, Congregation of Institutes of Consecrated Life, and the Congregation of Societies of Apostolic Life, as well as the Pontifical Council for the Family and the Pontifical Commission for Latin America. He was Adjunct Relator General of the 10th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops in October 2001. On March 13, 2013 he was elected the 266th pope in the apostolic succession dating from the time of Saint Peter. Prayer for the new pope O gracious God, our shepherd and guide, look with love on Francis your servant, whom you have appointed as successor to Saint Peter. Grant him courage and wisdom, and fill him with love for your people. May he serve with fidelity all those whom you have entrusted to his care and bring your Church together in unity of heart and purpose as we seek to fulfill the mission of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

Washing Feet Paul Turner “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” Restaurants often display this sign to show who’s not welcome at their table. A sign at the Last Supper could have read, “No shirt, no shoes = service.” It would have shown who was welcome at the table. One of the most striking scenes at the Last Supper happens when Jesus pulls off his tunic, has the disciples remove their sandals, and begins a service like none other — washing feet. The episode, which occurs only in John’s Gospel, comes where we expect to find Jesus’ most famous line from the Last Supper. “This is my body. This is my blood.” Instead of pointing at the bread and wine, he gives an example of service. We begin to see that Eucharist involves more than food and drink — it involves commitment, community, faith and selflessness. Other New Testament writers tell us Jesus said, “Do this,” in reference to the celebration of the Eucharist. John’s Jesus says it in reference to the service of washing feet.

The presider may wash the feet of members of the community. In this act, the local church witnesses the selfless service of Christ and sees an example of faith in action. If we are believers, if we share in the bread and the cup, then we also share in service. Sometimes we hear the complaint that the washing of the feet is too old-fashioned, that it doesn’t fit our modern culture. Sometimes we search for a more meaningful adaptation washing hands, or shining shoes! But it’s hard to beat the shocking humility of the original gesture. It didn’t fit Jesus’ culture very well either. Peter objected to the whole idea. The service to which Jesus calls us also doesn’t fit the culture. Businesses may call it service, but they charge us even if it’s self-service. The service of the Gospel is freely given. Holy Thursday invites us to the table not as guests who dine and run, but as hosts who eat and serve. The meal isn’t over till the cleanup. Copyright © 1997 Resource Publications, Inc., 160 E.

Domingo de Ramos de la Pasión del Señor 24 de marzo de 2013 El Señor me ayuda, por eso no quedaré confundido. — Isaías 50:7a Domingo 24 de Marzo. Domingo de Ramos Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Los cristianos de todo el mundo vamos a celebrar en esta Semana el misterio central de nuestra fe. Vamos a meditar y orar sobre el camino salvador de Cristo: la muerte, el Viernes Santo, la sepultura, el Sábado Santo, y la resurrección a la nueva vida a partir de la noche pascual, con la Vigilia y durante cincuenta días. Es lo que hemos empezado a celebrar hoy, con las aclamaciones a Cristo en la procesión, a modo de entrada a esta semana tan intensa para la comunidad cristiana. Contemplemos llenos de fe el dolor y la muerte de Jesús, y a la vez dejémonos llenar de esperanza, porque también nuestro dolor o el dolor del mundo, aunque no sepamos cómo, tiene sentido como participación en el dolor salvador de Cristo Jesús. La contemplación de los dolores sufridos por Jesús durante su pasión y muerte no debe dejarnos únicamente impresiones sensibles y sentimentales. Hay que llegar a una compasión más profunda, a aquella actitud espiritual que nos hace solidarios con el sufrimiento de las personas que padecen, es decir, con los motivos reales de su sufrimiento. Según el cántico de Isaías, Jesús aceptó voluntariamente los dolores de la pasión para "saber decir al abatido una palabra de aliento", es decir, para destruir el mal profundo de los hombres. Llegaremos al núcleo esencial de la compasión hacia Cristo, cuando hayamos emprendido una lucha efectiva contra el pecado en nosotros y en los demás. La pasión de Cristo continúa hoy en todos los hombres y mujeres que sufren cualquier clase de dolor físico o moral: hambre y desnudez, pobreza y abandono, tristeza, desesperación, falta de comprensión y amor. Continúa, de modo especial, en todos los hombres y mujeres que son víctimas del odio y el maltrato de otras personas. Esto significa, en último término, que el único signo válido de la lucha de los cristianos contra el pecado es la compasión. Contemplemos la Cruz de Cristo con ojos de fe. Desde que Cristo padeció y murió en ella, la cruz ha dejado de ser oprobio e ignominia para convertirse en signo de victoria y salvación. La tradición genuina de la Iglesia no ha considerado nunca la Cruz bajo el aspecto doloroso, sino dentro de una perspectiva de triunfo y exaltación. Por ello, siempre los fieles hemos usado el signo de la cruz como un gesto específicamente cristiano, que nos distingue y nos honra. Pero también por esa misma razón constituiría una grave inconsciencia convertirla en un instrumento ornamental. La aceptación de la Cruz en nuestra vida es algo muy serio y comprometedor. Semana Santa, es la gran oportunidad para detenernos un poco. Para pensar en serio. Para preguntarnos en qué se está gastando nuestra vida. Para darle un rumbo nuevo al trabajo y a la vida de cada día. Para abrirle el corazón a Dios, que sigue esperando. Para abrirle el corazón a los hermanos, especialmente a los más necesitados. Semana Santa, es la gran oportunidad para morir con Cristo y resucitar con Cristo, para morir a nuestro egoísmo y resucitar al amor. P. Jairo
Para reflexionar:
Para muchos el Domingo de Ramos y la bendición de estos es considerado como el momento más importante del año y el motivo para asistir a la Iglesia y no volver hasta el año siguiente. Sin embargo, no podemos quedarnos en el inicio del camino: la Iglesia nos enseña que esta celebración es “la puerta” de la Semana Santa, la cual culminará en la celebración del Triduo Pascual con la gloriosa Resurrección del Señor, y por lo tanto, deberemos vivirla intensa y adecuadamente, y ayudar a nuestros hermanos a tomar conciencia de ello también. ¿Cómo nos estamos preparando para esta Semana Santa? ¿Cuáles los compromisos personales, familiares y comunitarios, que deberemos asumir para ayudarnos y ayudar a otros a que la vivan intensamente?
La Oficina Parroquial estará cerrada comenzando el Jueves Santo al mediodía, y de nuevo abrirá el lunes, 1de abril a las 9:00am. LES DESEAMOS A USTEDES Y SUS FAMILIAS UNA FELIZ Y BENDECIDA PASCUA DE RESURRECIÓN.
EL VIERNES SANTO (29 de marzo) TENDREMOS LA REPRESENTACIÓN DEL VIA CRUCIS EN VIVO EN LOS TERRENOS DEL COLEGIO HORA: 5:00PM
