Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions for April
Dear Friends in Christ, Our Holy Week begins today with Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem. As we begin these Sacred Days, I would like to thank you for your participation in the various activities of Lent during these past weeks. I hope that the spiritual guide, Living Faith, has helped you on your Lenten journey. The special days of Holy Week are considered to be our High Holy Days as Catholics and the various celebrations are deeply rooted in the traditions of our Catholic faith. I invite you to participate in the liturgies of these special days. If you have never attended the celebrations of Holy Week, perhaps this is the year to attend either individually or as a family. The Holy Week Schedule is listed on the cover and below and may also be referenced on our website, www.annunciationorlando.org. At our Easter Sunday Masses, we will be blessed with many visitors. I thank you in advance for extending a warm Annunciation welcome and hospitality to those who may be here from other faith backgrounds, other places or who do not worship with us on a regular basis. I appreciate your patience as we celebrate our Core Value to be a Welcoming
Parish Community.
When you come before the Lord this week, please whisper my name (and the names of the Clergy and Religious Sisters of our parish) to the Almighty. Pray that we are blessed with wisdom, strength and hope during these special days. Know that we will pray for you, your loved ones and your intentions. We may not see each other every day but may we meet each day in our prayers! In Christ,
Very Rev. Stephen D. Parkes, V.F. Pastor

The Triduum The Triduum (TRIH-du-um) is the time of the Church year when we celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This three-day celebration begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday and continues on Good Friday with the Passion of the Lord. We leave the Church in silence, waiting to celebrate the glory of our Lord’s resurrection. Then, on Saturday at sun down, the Church re-gathers to celebrate the final, and most grand, moment of the Triduum: the Resurrection of our Lord.
Holy Thursday The Mass on Holy Thursday is commonly known as the Feast of the Lord’s Supper. This Mass is a time for Catholics to remember the Last Supper where
Jesus and his apostles gathered to celebrate Passover. In the Holy Thursday celebration, two ritual actions stand out among the rest: the Washing of the Feet and the Celebration of the Eucharist.
Good Friday: The Passion of th Lord In this solemn celebration, we remember the Passion and Death of Our Lord. The service is marked by several important rituals including the proclaiming of the Passion according to John, the Veneration of the Cross, an extended form of General Intercessions and finally, the distribution of Communion (reserved from the Holy Thursday celebration of the Eucharist). http://bustedhalo.com/features/walking-through-the-triduum
Divine Mercy Sunday - April 12th at 2pm in our Church All are welcome to this special devotion
~ Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament ~ The Rosary
~ Sacrament of Reconciliation ~ Divine Mercy Chaplet
The Message of Divine Mercy Sunday is that God loves "all of us" no matter how great our sins. He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. We look forward to praying with you.
The Divine Mercy Novena: Jesus gave St. Faustina nine intentions for which to pray the Chaplet beginning on Good Friday and ending on Holy Saturday.
Please visit annunciationorlando.org/divine-mercy for additional information about Divine Mercy Sunday and links to the novena prayers.
Chrism Mass - Wednesday, April 1 Bishop John Noonan invites you to the Chrism Mass on Wednesday, April 1 at 6:30 p.m. at St. James Cathedral
Holy Oils Consecrated The clear aim of the Chrism Mass is for the blessing of the Holy Oils used during the Church year. These are the Oil of the Sick, Oil of Catechumens and Sacred Chrism. Pastors carry these oils back to their parishes where they will be part of celebrations for the coming year, beginning with the Easter Vigil. Whenever the Holy Oils are used at a parish, the ministry of the Bishop who consecrated them is symbolically present.
Priests Renew Their Commitment To Priestly Service The second purpose of the Chrism Mass is the unity of all the priests of the Diocese with their Bishop. All priests in the Diocese of Orlando are invited to concelebrate the Mass and renew their priestly commitment.
Jubilarians Honored Priests in the Diocese of Orlando celebrating 50 or 25 years of priestly service will be honored at the Chrism Mass.

After Mass Fellowship to honor our Parish Feast Day - The Annunciation of the Lord
Annunciation Catholic Church Altamonte Springs, Florida
Excerpt from the Gospel
Mark 14: 27-31
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will have your faith shaken, for it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be dispersed. But after I have been raised up, I shall go before you to Galilee.” Peter said to him, “Even though all should have their faith shaken, mine will not be.” Then Jesus said to him, “Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows twice you will deny me three times.” But he vehemently replied, “Even though I should have to die with you, I will not deny you.”
Stewardship Reflections on the Readings for the Palm Sunday The end of our Lenten journey is imminent. Have we altered our lives? Have we rededicated ourselves? Have we renewed our covenant with the Lord? These are major conversions and changes, and perhaps the best question we can ask ourselves is quite simply, “Is anything different?”
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “the real aim of Lent is, above all else, to prepare us for the celebration of the death and Resurrection of Christ… the better the preparation the more effective the celebration will be.” We have been called to a conversion of heart.
In the few days we have remaining we must strive for some form of purification, by some effort to reject sin and selfishness. As good stewards, we need to identify something in our lives, someone in our lives perhaps, with which or with whom we must reconcile. First and foremost we must reconcile with God; if we fix that relationship, everything else naturally follows.
We have been given gifts through the Holy Spirit. This is a vital time for us to use those gifts to build the Kingdom of God. St. David of Crete said this of Palm Sunday: “Let us run to accompany the Lord as He hastens toward His Passion, not by covering His path with palms, but by being humble and by trying to live as He would wish.” www.thecatholicsteward.com
