WELCOME TO/ Bienvenidos a ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON CATHOLIC CHURCH Registration forms are in the back of Church or available from the office. Formas para registro en la parroquia están disponibles en la mesa que esta en la parte de atrás de la iglesia o en la oficina. Father’s Notes When people think of the book of Revelation they often think, “end of the world,” apocalypse, four horsemen and doom. That is not entirely false, but not entirely true either. The book gets its name from the first word “apokalypsis” which basically means “revelation.” Lots of people mistakenly call this the “Book of Revelations.” That is plural. That is wrong. It is a singular revelation. This revelation is a vision that St. John received on the island of Patmos. We know that because he tells us a few verses later. Patmos is an island in the Aegean Sea that the Romans used as a place to exile political prisoners during the time of John’s vision. So what was revealed? Jesus is revealed. John received from the Lord a vision on the “Lord’s Day.” In ancient times as today the Lord’s Day for the Christian is Sunday,the day of the Resurrection. Because this vision takes place on a Sunday the Church has chosen some of the book to be proclaimed on some Sundays of the Easter Season. This book is highly symbolic and is difficult to understand. But through the eyes of the Christian many of the symbols and images Jesus reveals to John become clear if we know about the Liturgy. The book of Revelation take place during the heavenly Mass. Take this week’s reading for example. John witnesses to the Heavenly Worship of God. We call part of our earthly worship of God the Mass. The angels, living creatures, and elders cry out their praises to the Lamb on the throne. Well the Lamb is Jesus remember, “This is the Lamb of God who take away the sins of the world.” And the rest of the characters set the scene like before we sing the Holy, Holy. “With all the choirs of angels we sing…” So the next time you go to mass on earth know that you participate in the Mass of Heaven. Who knows, maybe Jesus will reveal something to you Notas del Padre Cuando la gente piensa en el libro de revelación a menudo piensa en el , "fin del mundo", apocalipsis, cuatro jinetes y la fatalidad. Eso no es del todo falso, pero tampoco del todo cierto. El libro toma su nombre a la primera palabra "apokalypsis" que básicamente significa "revelación." Muchas personas erróneamente llaman a esto el "Libro de las Revelaciones." Eso es plural. Eso esta mal. Es una revelación singular. Esta revelación es una visión que San Juan recibió en la isla de Patmos. Lo sabemos porque el nos dice unos versículos más adelante. Patmos es una isla en el mar Egeo que los romanos utilizaban como lugar para los presos políticos exiliados durante el tiempo de la visión de Juan. Así que, que fue revelado? Jesús se revela. Juan recibió del Señor una visión sobre el "Día del Señor". En la antigüedad como hoy el día del Señor para los cristianos es el domingo, el día de la resurrección. Debido a que esta visión se lleva a cabo en un domingo la Iglesia ha elegido algo del libro que será proclamado en algunos domingos del tiempo de Pascua. Este libro es altamente simbólico y es difícil de entender. Pero a través de los ojos de los cristianos muchos de los símbolos y las imágenes que Jesús revela a Juan quedaron claros si sabemos acerca de la Liturgia. El libro de la revelación tiene lugar durante la misa celestial. Tome las lecturas de esta semana, por ejemplo. Juan da testimonio de la adoración celestial de Dios. Llamamos a parte de nuestra adoración de Dios terrenal la misa. Los ángeles, seres vivos, y los ancianos lloran alabanzas al Cordero en el trono. Así Cordero es Jesús recuerda, "Este es el Cordero de Dios que quitas el pecado del mundo." Y el resto de los personajes establece la escena antes de que se cante el Santo, Santo. "Con todos los coros de los ángeles cantamos ..." Así que la próxima vez que vayas a misa en la tierra recuerda que participas en la misa del Cielo. Quién sabe, tal Fr. Jeff vez Jesús te revelará algo a ti. Pdr. Jeff DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS Mon. Tue. Wed. Thu. Fri. Sat. Sun. Apr. Apr. Apr. Apr. Apr. Apr.
