PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD  MARCH 20, 2016
DOMINGO DE RAMOS DE LA PASIÓN DE NUESTRO SEÑOR  20 DE MARZO, 2016
DOMENICA DELLE PALME DELLA PASSIONE DEL SIGNORE  20 DI MARZO , 2016
“Go into the village straight ahead of you. Upon entering it you will find an ass tied there
which no one has yet ridden. Untie it and lead it back. If anyone should ask you, ‘why are you
untying the beast’ say, ‘the Master has need of it.’ They departed on their errand and found
things just as he had said.” Saint Luke sets the scene for us to join Jesus and His followers in
their entry to the holy city. Triumph will soon turn to tragedy. The crowd of greeters will quickly
depart, and
others will take their place. Holy Week is upon us. We can begin these solemn
days, remembering what transpired in Jerusalem. We can approach the Passover meal, observe
the washing of the disciples’ feet, and the giving of the gift of the Eucharist. We join the
disciples in the garden of olives, see the betrayal, hear the denial and the unjust arrest. We will walk the
dusty streets to the hill of Calvary, listen to His final words, and quietly leave the guarded tomb. The events
of Holy Week really ask much more of us. We read and listen, we are moved to compassion. But as we walk
this week, discover others who are suffering in a similar way. Consider refugees and displaced persons, hear
their cry. Consider families of those incarcerated and support their pain. The streets of Jerusalem are the
halls of a hospital for the terminally ill, where the Christ continues to suffer today. The passion of Christ
crosses the centuries and is revealed for our consideration today.
“Vayan al pueblo que está enfrente y, al entrar, encontrarán un asno atado, que nadie ha
montado todavía. Desátenlo y tráiganlo; y si alguien les pregunta: ‘¿Qué están
haciendo?’, respondan: ‘El Señor lo necesita’. Los enviados partieron y encontraron todo
como él les había dicho.” San Lucas nos muestra la escena para que nos unamos a Jesús y
sus seguidores en su entrada a la ciudad santa. Triunfo se convertirá pronto en tragedia. La multitud se
dispersará y otros tomarán su lugar. La Semana Santa ha llegado. Podemos comenzar estos días solemnes
recordando lo que sucedió en Jerusalén. Podemos visualizar la comida de Pascua, observar el lavado de los
pies de los discípulos, y el don de la Eucaristía. Nos unimos a los discípulos en el Jardín de los Olivos, vemos
la traición, escuchamos la negación y el arresto injusto. Caminaremos las empolvadas calles al Monte del
Calvario, escucharemos sus palabras finales y calladamente dejaremos la tumba que está siendo guardada.
Los eventos de la Semana Santa piden mucho más de nosotros. Al leer y escuchar se nos mueve hasta la
compasión. Pero al caminar esta semana descubrimos a otros que sufren de forma similar. Considere
refugiados y personas desplazadas, escuche su lamento. Considere las familias de gente encarcelada y
apóyelos en su dolor. Las calles de Jerusalén son los pasillos de un hospital de enfermos terminales, en
donde Cristo continúa sufriendo hoy. La pasión de Cristo atraviesa siglos y se revela para nuestra
consideración hoy.
“Festeggiamo oggi l’entrata messianica di Gesù a Gerusalemme; in ricordo del suo trionfo,
benediciamo le palme e leggiamo il racconto della sua passione e della sua morte. È il profeta
Isaia con il suo terzo cantico sul servo sofferente di Iahvè che ci prepara ad ascoltare questo
passo del Vangelo. La sofferenza fa parte della missione del servo. Essa fa anche parte della
nostra missione di cristiani. Non può esistere un servo coerente di Gesù se non con il suo
fardello, come ci ricorda il salmo di oggi. Ma nella sofferenza risiede la vittoria. “Egli spogliò se
stesso, assumendo la condizione di servo, umiliò se stesso, facendosi obbediente fino alla
morte, e alla morte di croce”. E, come il suono trionfale di una fanfara, risuonano le parole che
richiamano l’antico inno cristiano sulla kenosi citato da san Paolo: “Per questo Dio l’ha esaltato al di sopra di
tutto”. L’intera gloria del servo di Iahvè è nello spogliarsi completamente, nell’abbassarsi, nel servire come
uno schiavo, fino alla morte. La parola essenziale è: “Per questo”. L’elevazione divina di Cristo è nel suo
abbassarsi, nel suo servire, nella sua solidarietà con noi, in particolare con i più deboli e i più provati. Poiché
la divinità è l’amore. E l’amore si è manifestato con più forza proprio sulla croce, sulla croce dalla quale
è scaturito il grido di fiducia filiale nel Padre. “Dopo queste parole egli rese lo spirito”, e noi ci inginocchiamo
- secondo la liturgia della messa - e ci immergiamo nella preghiera o nella meditazione. Questo istante di
silenzio totale è essenziale, indispensabile a ciascuno di noi. Che cosa dirò al Crocifisso? A me stesso?
l Padre?
