ASSIONOF THEL
ORD[Christ Jesus] humbled himself,
becoming obedient to the point
of death, even death on a cross.
— Philippians 2:8
HOLY WEEK. For the Palm Sunday Gospel, we return
to the Gospel according to Mark. The account of the
Passion takes up nearly one-third of Mark’s entire Gospel
and, of all the evangelists, he is the one who presents the
details most graphically. He depicts the humanity of
Jesus most intensely, describing his sufferings
thoroughly. Mark portrays Jesus as a complete
fulfillment of the “Suffering Servant” of Isaiah, the
obedient, humble slave dying on a cross of whom Paul
speaks in Philippians. But it is important to remember
that we call this “Holy Week” and not “sad week” or
“suffering week,” for each of the readings today, even the
lamentations of the psalm, end in the promise of the
strength and hope that is granted by God to those who
faithfully give of themselves in love. As we enter into
this week through these readings, we must reflect deeply
on the sufferings of Jesus, but still be confident in the joy
of risen, eternal life that awaits all of us who faithfully
walk with him through these days.

First Reading — In spite of my sufferings I am not
disgraced. I am not put to shame (Isaiah 50:4-7).
Psalm — My God, my God, why have you abandoned
me? (Psalm 22).
Second Reading — Christ emptied himself, and God
filled this emptiness with exaltation (Philippians 2:6-11).
Gospel — The account of Christ’s passion according to
Mark (Mark 14:1 — 15:47 [15:1-39]).

The Liturgies of Holy Week
Holy Week is the culmination of the liturgical year.
During these holy days, the liturgy will lead us, with
Jesus, to the depths and to the heights.
It begins with a harsh juxtaposition, as we carry palms
in remembrance of Christ’s triumphant entry into
Jerusalem and then listen to the Passion according to
Matthew, as the King is handed over for crucifixion.
Then, on Holy Thursday, we remember the night Jesus
was handed over—the night he gave himself for us and
to us, to live in our midst forever in the sacrament of his
Body and Blood. On Good Friday, we touch with our
hands the mystery of the Lord’s cross, the instrument of
torture that has become the tree of life. Then, at the
great Easter Vigil, the lighting of the paschal candle
speaks to us of the triumph of light over darkness, of
life over death. The resurrection of the Lord becomes a
living reality in our midst as the catechumens for whom
the Church has prayed throughout Lent are plunged into
the mystery of Christ’s death and share in the glory of
his resurrection. These are indeed holy days, the
culmination of the Church’s liturgy, and an invitation to
participate in the very life of Christ. Come, let us
worship.

SEMANA SANTA. Por el Evangelio del Domingo de
Ramos, volvemos al Evangelio según San Marcos. El relato
de la Pasión ocupa casi un tercio de todo el Evangelio según
Marcos y, de todos los evangelistas, él es quien presenta los
detalles más gráficos. Marcos representa la humanidad de
Jesús con mayor intensidad, describiendo sus sufrimientos a
fondo. Presenta a Jesús como el cumplimiento completo del
“Siervo sufriente” de Isaías, el esclavo humilde y obediente
que muere en la cruz y de quien Pablo habla a los filipenses.
Pero es importante recordar que a esto lo llamamos
“Semana Santa” y no “semana triste” o “semana de
sufrimiento”, porque cada una de las lecturas de hoy,
incluso los lamentos del Salmo, terminan con la promesa de
la fuerza y la esperanza que son otorgadas por Dios a los
que fielmente dan de sí mismos en amor. A medida que
entramos a esta semana por vía de estas lecturas, debemos
reflexionar profundamente sobre los sufrimientos de Jesús,
pero con la tranquilidad de la alegría de la vida resucitada y
eterna que nos espera a todos los que fielmente caminamos
con él durante estos días.

Esta parte del espacio litúrgico es mucho más que un pódium
o tribuna. Es la sede de la Palabra de Dios. Es la montaña
desde la cual se proclama la Buena Nueva al pueblo de Dios
que, a menudo, sufre las desventajas. Es un eco claro del
espacio elevado que había en las sinagogas judías desde el
cual se recitaba la Escritura. En nuestros templos, tiene un
lugar propicio porque en la acción de proclamar, Cristo está
presente. Las historias que desde aquí se proclaman, en sus
orígenes fueron historias orales cuya intención era ser
contadas a otra generación. Puesto que este lugar está
reservado especialmente para la proclamación de la Palabra
de Dios, reconociendo que desde ahí Dios habla a su pueblo,
debe dársele un respeto semejante al del altar. Esta es la mesa
de la palabra que nos conduce a la mesa eucarística. Esta
acción de proclamar nos recuerda al mismo Jesús, en la
sinagoga, cuando proclamó: “El Espíritu del Señor está sobre
mí, porque él me ha ungido para que dé la Buena Noticia a
los pobres; me ha enviado a anunciar la libertad a los cautivos
y la vista a los ciegos, para poner en libertad a los oprimidos,
para proclamar el año de gracia del Señor” (Lucas 4:18 – 19).

El comportamiento abusivo
no es consensual
El término “consensual” implica que
una persona acepta libremente hacer
algo y comprende lo que está
consintiendo en hacer. Cuando se trata de abuso infantil,
ningún niño puede dar su consentimiento, o aceptar
libremente, participar en un comportamiento inapropiado
con una persona mayor. De cualquier forma, los niños
pueden ser manipulados de manera que parezca que han
dado su consentimiento de alguna manera debido al
respeto que los niños tienen a la autoridad del abusador.
Esta es la razón por la que el abuso a menudo implica un
uso indebido o abuso de poder sobre una víctima y puede
lograrse mediante una variedad de comportamientos
inapropiados que le dan ventaja al abusador.

Abusive behavior is nonconsensual
The term “consensual” implies that a person freely
agrees to do something and understands what they are
consenting to do. When it comes to child abuse, no child
can give consent, or freely agree, to engage in
inappropriate behavior with an older person – however
children can be manipulated such that it appears they
have consented in some way out of deference to the
abuser’s authority. This is why abuse often involves
misuse or abuse of power over a victim and can be
accomplished through a range of inappropriate behaviors
that give the abuser the upper hand.
