Passion Sunday or Palm Sunday (Domingo de Ramos) is the Sunday when we formally begin our proximate preparation for the Easter vigil. We will be re-enacting the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem with the waving of palm branches. The old testament prophecy of Zechariah about the humble Messiah who enters Jerusalem and there wages the last battle of God against His enemies is fulfilled in Jesus who rides the foal of a donkey into the Holy City. The battle itself will be waged against the powers of Satan and will be won on the Cross of Golgotha.

The first Sunday of Lent reminded us of the Spiritual Combat we have been engaged in since the day we were baptized. The second Sunday reminded us of the Victory of the Lord over suffering and the guarantee that the evils we undergo today is temporary. Today, we are once more reminded of the connection existing between our Lenten observances and our identity as the New Temple where fruits of our worship “in spirit and in truth” (cf. John 4:23) are continuously offered to God.

With Ash Wednesday, we begin our yearly preparation for our baptismal renewal on Easter, the Season of Lent. Benedict XVI describes the acceptance of the ashen cross on Ash Wednesday as a gesture of humility:
It is essentially a gesture of humility, which means: I recognize myself for what I am, a frail creature, made of earth and destined to the earth, but also made in the image of God and destined to him. Dust, yes, but loved, molded by love, animated by his vital breath, capable of recognizing his voice and of responding to him; free and, because of this, also capable of disobeying him, yielding to the temptation of pride and self-sufficiency. This is sin, the mortal sickness that soon entered to contaminate the blessed earth that is the human being. Created in the image of the Holy and Righteous One, man lost his own innocence and he can now return to be righteous only thanks to the righteousness of God, the righteousness of love that — as St. Paul writes — was manifested “through faith in Jesus Christ” (Romans 3:22). Homily on Ash Wednesday 2010
It is with this gesture of humility that we renew our commitment through repentance and conversion to the Lord.

“Repent and believe in the Gospel!” We hear this admonition during Ash Wednesday as a reminder that it should be one of the characteristics of the pilgrim Church’s lifestyle. The Church must always be on the way of conversion. Conversion is turning to God in fidelity and love. In the beginning of his ministry, a ministry carried out in the shadow of the Cross, Jesus calls four fishermen who would later on become members of his core group. In these four fishermen, we see the first fruits of Jesus’ preaching. Peter and Andrew, James and John — all four will later on become apostles and martyrs for the Gospel of Christ.

Epiphany Sunday is about the glory of God shining in Christ. "Epiphany" comes from the Greek "epi" and "phanein" which means "to shine on". The glory of God shines forth through Jesus whose birth we celebrate.
The gospel selection is from Mateo 2:1-12, a traditional reading associated with the episode of the visit of the magis to the infant Jesus. The "magis" that Matthew mentions here as people who know how to read the signs of the sky. A star awakens their quest for a newborn king. Their visit to Jerusalem brings them into contact with the Scriptures that point them to Bethlehem as the place where the newborn king is to be found. This conspiracy between nature and the prophetic text brings them to Jesus and Mary.

“God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:4).
At the beginning of the civil New Year, we turn to Mary, Our Mother. The 8th day of a child’s birth was for the Jews the time of its insertion into the life of the family and therefore to the network of relationships to which the family is inserted. “Jesus” is now legally, “son of Joseph, of the house of David, of the tribe of Judah, son of Jacob — an Israelite. But we could not forget that the name given to Jesus was the name given by God the Father through the angel Gabriel — a name made known to Mary (Luke) and to Joseph (Matthew) even before the infant was conceived. Joseph is the legal father, but Mary is the real mother, as Matthew himself underlines in his genealogy.
In Paul’s letter to the Galatians, the apostle underlines the soteriological implication of the truth of Jesus’ birth “from a woman” when “the fulness of time had come”. Through the Son of Mary we all have become sons of God.
