“Conjugal love expresses the unitive meaning of marriage in such a way as to show
how this meaning is ordered toward the equally obvious procreative meaning. The
unitive meaning is distorted if the procreative meaning is deliberately disavowed…
Likewise, the procreative meaning of marriage is degraded without the unitive.”
(Excerpted from the U.S. Bishops’ Pastoral Letter entitled Marriage: Love and Life In The Divine Plan.

Prayer to God the Father of All Life
Eternal God, You have revealed Yourself as the Father of all Life. We praise You
for the Fatherly care which You extend to all creation, and especially to us, made
in Your image and likeness. Bless our families and bless our land, that we may
have the joy of welcoming and nurturing the life of which You are the source and
the Eternal Father. Amen.

LENT TO TRIDUUM: JOURNEY OF CONVERSION
The Year of Faith is a summons to an authentic and renewed
conversion to the Lord Jesus, the world’s only Savior. In the mystery of
Jesus’ death and resurrection, God has revealed, in its fullness, the
love that saves and calls us to conversion of life through forgiveness of
our sins (see Benedict XVI, Door of Faith, 6).
March, in this Year of Faith, leads us by Lent’s journey of
conversion to the Paschal Triduum: Holy Thursday’s foot washing and
Mass of the Lord’s Supper, Good Friday’s celebration of Jesus’ lifegiving passion, the Vigil and Easter morning’s joy at Jesus’ glorious
resurrection. In some parishes, especially those with catechumens, the
March Gospels challenge us to join the Samaritan woman and the man
blind from birth in deepening our understanding of Jesus as more than
a prophet, indeed the Savior of the world. In other parishes, the
Gospels invite us to let the Lord “prune” us of sin that we may bear fruit
while there is time; to return as prodigals to our Father’s house and
ease the welcome home for fellow sinners; to embrace as our own the
pardon Jesus so graciously offered the woman caught in adultery.
These Gospels bid us open our hearts to God’s gentle but powerful
grace slowly purifying and transforming our thoughts and relationships,
our mentality and conduct. But if at Easter we find ourselves
disappointed at the incompleteness of our transformation, Lent’s yearly
recurrence reminds us: conversion, like the journey of faith, is indeed a
journey that lasts a lifetime.

EASTERTIME
A Sense of the Season
First, we kept the forty days, with praying, fasting and giving alms. Then we celebrated the three days of
Christ’s passion, dying and rising. Now we delight in the fifty days, with rejoicing, feasting and giving witness!
The season of Easter is fifty days long. It is a time of unbridled joy, of exuberant rejoicing. The church tells us,
“The fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost are celebrated in joyful exultation as one feast day, or better
as one ‘great Sunday.’ These above all others are days for the singing of the Alleluia.” (General Norms for the Liturgical Year and
Calendar, #22)
Why is Eastertime fifty days? The ancient cultures that gave us the Bible had great respect for numbers. They believed that numbers
contained hints about God and the meaning of life. The number seven was thought to contain fullness: There are seven days in the
week, according to God’s original way of ordering time, creating all that there is and resting. So if you multiply 7 times 7, you have
“fullness times fullness.”
But wait! 727 is 49! With God, there is always more—more than we can ever imagine. So our holy season of Easter is even more than
“fullness times fullness.” It’s “fullness times fullness” and then some: 727+1. That’s what love is like: more than we can ever imagine.
That’s what heaven is going to be like: more than we can ever imagine.
The fifty days are days for looking for the risen Lord among us, for hearing in each other’s stories of rising from the big and small
deaths, days when we experience something of Christ’s triumphs. That’s why we look to the newly baptized, robed in bright new
clothes and oily with gladness: At Easter, they died and rose with Christ! Now they take their places with us. Together, like the apostles
who were so full of the Spirit that people thought they were drunk, we rush about with good and giddy news: Death is not the last
word! Life and love are forever! And slowly, painstakingly, we work together, together with Christ, to change this world into the world
to come. Sing Alleluia! Copyright © 1997 Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications, 1800 North Hermitage Avenue, Chicago IL 60622-1101; 1-800-933-

TRANSFORMACIÓN
El punto culminante de nuestra fe cristiana y la fiesta más importante de todo el año de la Iglesia se celebra hoy. Jesús
glorioso y resucitado tiene que haber lucido diferente de alguna manera, pues sus discípulos no pudieron reconocerlo
enseguida, ni siquiera aquellos que lo conocían mejor, a quienes Jesús tuvo que asegurarles que no era un fantasma.
Invita a Tomás a que toque sus llagas, toma el desayuno con Pedro y sus compañeros junto al lago y en Emaús dos
discípulos lo “ven” cuando toma el pan, lo bendice, lo parte y se los entrega. Nosotros recibimos a este mismo Jesús en
cada Eucaristía. Dorothy Day se dio cuenta que conocemos a Dios y a los demás al partir el pan y que este hecho acaba
con nuestra soledad. Day se convirtió en una de las más grandes campeonas en favor de los pobres, los abandonados, los
hambrientos y los vagabundos. La verdadera fe, como la de Dorothy Day, nos transforma. Algunos experimentan una
conversión súbita, mientras que para otros es un proceso más lento que se va desenvolviendo en el transcurso del tiempo.
Si llegamos a conocer la verdad de la Pascua, ella emanará y se desbordará de nuestra propia vida llegando a todos los
que nos rodean. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

“Felices Pascuas”
Pascua viene de una palabra hebrea pesah que quiere decir “lugar de pastos” e indica el final de un periodo de ayuno. La
Pascua Judía celebra la libertad del cautiverio de Egipto. El cristianismo tomo la fiesta de la Pascua para celebrar la
muerte y resurrección de Jesús quien nos da la libertad del cautiverio pecaminoso de nuestras vidas. Eventualmente el
uso de “Pascua” pasó a indicar cualquier evento en la vida de Jesús que añade a la libertad que nos obtuvo en su
vida, cruz y resurrección. He aquí porque tradicionalmente se hablaba de la Pascua del Nacimiento, o Pascua
de Resurrección y la Pascua del Espíritu Santo (Pentecostés) y todavía en grandes fiestas religiosas del año
la gente se saluda con “Felices Pascuas”.
En EE.UU., Argentina y otros países se celebra la Pascua (Easter en inglés) con la búsqueda de huevos
multicolores y supuestamente traídos por una coneja. Easter era una diosa teutónica cuyos símbolos
eran el huevo y la coneja, símbolos de vida y fertilidad que pasaron a representar la nueva vida
que se nos da al ser liberados del pecado por la pascua de Jesús. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.

Easter Sunday
March 31, 2013
Comment
Compared to the readings of the Easter Vigil, those for Easter Sunday may seem a bit anticlimactic. While the readings for the Vigil
build and rise to a glorious crescendo, today’s readings are more subdued, like the stillness before dawn, before the first light. In fact,
the joy and excitement of the day come bursting through mainly in the responsorial psalm: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us
rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118:24).
In the first reading, Peter is preaching the fundamentals of
faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Roman
New Life
centurion Cornelius—who observed the Jewish faith but who
New life abounds! Fresh signs of resurrection surround us.
was not circumcised—and to his Gentile family and friends.
The work of Lent is done: hatchets are buried, fences are
Jesus, who “went about doing good and healing,” was crucified, mended, grudges forgotten. Christ is risen! New life
whom “God raised on the third day,” who was seen by
“witnesses … who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead” (Acts 10:38, 40–41). So much of God’s generosity in Christ
Jesus is crammed into so few words, much of the formula of faith from the apostolic community.
Paul’s letter reminds us that we all have a part in the Resurrection. We have all died and risen with Christ. That is why the
Resurrection makes an impact on our lives here and now. We’re called to be people alive in Christ, people bound for glory together
with him.
John’s account of the Resurrection is not simply low-key. Rather, the evangelist offers a number of details that reveal a “coming to
light,” as it were. Mary, expecting to prepare the body of Jesus for permanent burial, finds an empty tomb. She does not understand
and hurries to Peter and John with the shocking news. The two apostles come to the burial site. John remembers how the garments of
death have fallen and how one is carefully rolled. The men do not know what to make of this. Experience will have to follow. Faith will
follow. Light will dawn. New life will come.
Reflection
Resurrection does not mean—just cannot mean—return to everyday life. Resurrection means a breakthrough to the extraordinary
life Jesus promised when he said, “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Jesus rose from the
dead to make that abundantly clear. He ascended to “God’s right hand” not only to show us that heaven is our home, but to ready it for
our arrival. We look forward to that homecoming and recognize that Jesus himself will be our ultimate “judge.” We anticipate that
judgment, believing that Jesus, who knows first-hand our condition—our sufferings, temptations, joys, desires, and trials—and who
came to call sinners, refused to cast the first stone, and declined to condemn, will be there to welcome us and to act as a compassionate
judge. We look forward to that day as one of hope and ultimate joy, a day of mercy, not merit, a day of grace, not disgrace.
Are we ready to rise? Rise from the dead? Can we put aside anxious and tentative living and embrace life with confidence and
surety? Jesus’ resurrection assures us that we can, for Jesus died and rose not for himself, but for us. Easter reconciles us with
creation, with ourselves, and with God. Winter is over; the dead time is past. Now is the time for living. Now is the time for embracing
one another and the future with renewed humanity and unclouded hope. Copyright © 2003, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
I can remember as a child being afraid of the dark. Not all the time—just usually after seeing a horror movie. For nights
after, I would peer into the darkness, trying to make sure there was nothing out there. Even as an adult there have
been times when I walked through a dark place feeling an uneasiness that was hard to shake.
Easter in the Gospel of John begins in the dark. Night still holds the earth in its embrace. Darkness also gripped the
hearts of Jesus’ followers—the darkness of grief, sorrow, and hopelessness. Jesus of Nazareth—who had preached in a
way no one else ever had, who had worked deeds of great power by curing the sick, healing lepers, giving sight to the
blind, lifting up the lame, and who had even called the dead back to life—had been crucified and laid in the tomb. A
large stone had been rolled in front of the entrance, death’s final punctuation mark.
Only John tells us there was a garden where he was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had ever
been laid. From this garden God decided to begin creation anew, so while it was still dark God breathed once again
into a human figure, and the new Adam was raised up and would never die.
Not all darkness is to be feared. Sometimes it may even be necessary, summoning God to create once again, dispelling
the shadow of death and despair that can settle over the human heart. -James A. Wallace, c.ss.r.
LIVING GOD’S WORD
We pray to God on Easter that we shall never again see darkness. We ask God to open our eyes to know him in the
breaking of bread and we ask for the strength to follow him in his risen life. Copyright © 2012, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
