Passion homily and more

From Deacon Ron Reno:

Good morning, another beautiful spring day in the 40’s today and close to 70 degrees this coming Sunday. Hallelujah! We had a lovely MP service with the distribution of the Holy Sacrament last weekend. We were blessed to chant the Venite, Psalms and the Benedictus along with our choir. What a blessing and learning experience. I especially loved the Communion Hymn chosen “O Lamb of God, Still keep me near.” James George Deck’s prayer of Thanksgiving. Father Andrews’s homily was especially appropriate for a Passion service, Thank you Father Andrews for all you do for this mission church. Father’s homily is attached.

Our Palm service this weekend is a reminder and commemoration of Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Jesus’s path to victory started with His choice of riding on the back a donkey (a beast of burden) to go into Jerusalem. We should pray for God to give us the humility that Jesus chose. This Saturday as we transition from Lent to Holy week, we need to pray for our turbulent world. We need to pray for everyone on the St. Jude’s intercessory list, continue on your fast and abstinence, for humility, humbleness, and think about this man who was stripped naked, who endured incredible pain and yet offered us salvation through His death and Resurrection. Thank God for all the blessings He has given us, Deacon
