Passion of the Lord Palm Sunday of the 
“The Passion” 
Matthew 26:14 - 27:66 

“Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened…” Matthew 27:50-52 
Today, St. Matthew leads us into the passion and death of Jesus. We hear of Jesus’ great promise to his apostles and to us at the Last Supper, and we witness his betrayal, rejection, murder, and burial in the tomb. Even in these final hours, Jesus continues to proclaim and embody the kingdom of heaven, freely accepting death, and placing himself completely in the hands of his Father, giving his life out of love for the whole world.  

Reflection: What do you live for? What occupies your attention? During this Holy Week, spend time in prayer as you approach Easter, contemplating the passion of Jesus. How is God calling you to proclaim his kingdom and to place your life in his hands?

SPX teachers are encouraging our neighborhood friends to put a decoration of a FROG in their front & lane side windows. 

F.R.O.G. stands for Fully Rely On God.

Children taking walks, riding in their cars, or doing their family bike ride for exercise are “hunting” for frogs in windows. You can color a page of a frog, make a drawing, or position a stuffed animal in the window to participate in the Hoppy Hunt! 

Parishioners and children of SPX Parish have created an Outdoor Stations of the Cross! It will be out by tomorrow (April 1st) in the grass along the sidewalks surrounding the whole church. If you are taking an exercise walk with your family or a bike ride through Lake Vista, feel free to walk the circle with your family and enjoy some special prayer time in the fresh air. Stations will be set very far apart and you are not to gather as you pray them, rather enjoy the private prayer time by yourself or with your family.

Dear parishioners,

I hope that you and your family are doing well.  All of us know the challenges that we are facing dealing with the coronavirus and its effects upon everyone in the community.  Many people can feel isolated and alone at this time and so it is important that we as a parish community try to reach out to as many of our parishioners as we can.  We are creating a communication outreach of the parish to try to contact our parishioners.  If you are able to help by making some phone calls, please clink on the link below to sign up.  Once you sign up, you will be sent a page number or two from the Parish Directory.  Try to call all those households listed on that particular page.  If you do not have a current Parish Directory (2019) we have copies on a table inside the front door of church, which is open from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.  A script is provided for you to follow when making the calls.  If anyone you call gives you information (prayer intention or email address) or you think they could use a follow up call from a member of the parish staff, please pass that information on to us by emailing the church staff at parishlife@spxno.org with the subject line PHONE CALL.

Thank you for helping out.  God be with all of us.

Fr.Pat
