From the Desk of Father Davis
This weekend, the Church begins a very solemn commemoration of our Lord's passion, suffering, and death. It
almost has nothing to do with the palm branches that so many of us eagerly look forward to receiving as part of today's
ceremony; unless, of course, the branches truly express a deep authentic acknowledgement that Jesus is the Christ, the Lord
of our lives.
Meditación del Padre Gustavo
Este año en el Ciclo A corresponden las lecturas del Evangelio según San Mateo principalmente este domingo de Ramos
escuchamos el relato de la pasión, muerte y resurrección con la entrada triunfal de Jesús en Jerusalén montado en un burro,
poseído de una humildad y obediencia divina mientras la multitud lo aclama como el mesías batiendo palmas y con gritos de
júbilo entonando la frase Hosanna que significa sálvanos.

Days of Fast and Abstinence:
Ash Wednesday (February 18, 2026) and Good Friday
(April 3, 2026) are days of fasting and abstinence from
meat products.
Abstinence from Meat:
All Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat.
Abstinence from meat is obligatory for Catholics 14 years
of age and older.
Fasting:
Fasting is obligatory for Catholics from age 18 through age
59. On days of fasting, the norm is: one full meal, and two
smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal. Eating
between meals is to be avoided, though liquids are
permitted.
Who is Excused?
Those who are excused from fasting and/or abstinence
include persons who are ill (physically or mentally),
including those suffering from chronic illness, as well as
pregnant or nursing women, and others for whom these
obligations would be harmful. When in doubt, the faithful
should seek prudent council. |

Pontifical Good Friday Collection
Friday, April 3, 2026
During Holy Week, the Gospel readings come to life in a
special way as we gather to celebrate the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus. The readings remind us of our
special connection to the land where this great story
unfolded.
Supporting the church in the Holy Land is an historic
mission. Since the time of St. Paul, Christians
worldwide have understood the responsibility to support
the land where Jesus walked. (cf. 2 Cor. 8-9)
Christians in the Holy Land face special challenges -
many of which we hear about in the daily news. The
war left deep wounds that will take time to heal. Many
Christians (for example, 90% in Bethelem) depend on
the pilgrimage industry to live. They could not work
during the pandemic, and the war again stopped
pilgrims from coming. Even as some pilgrims start to
come back to the Holy Land, it will take time before our
Christians may make once again a living from it.
Supporting the collection offers hope to the Holy Land
Christians.
Although often through adversities, a Christian presence
always remained in the Holy Land since the beginning of
the Church. It is important that Christians continue to
live, work and pray in the Holy Land, where the Church
started. The Christians are now less than 2% of the
population, from 23% a century ago, and with the war,
many more are thinking about leaving. In Bethlehem,
more than 90 Christian families have left since October
7. The Holy Shrines must not become like museums,
with many visitors, but without a local community, where
the Church was born.
Thank you for supporting the Pontifical Good Friday
Collection, as encouraged by Pope Leo. Through the
Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics
around the world to stand in solidarity with the Church in
the Holy Land, directly making a difference in the lives of
those caught up in war, violence and instability in this
region. You become an instrument of peace in a
troubled land. |
