Easter Sunday
EASTER BLESSINGS
Dear Parishioners and Friends,
The empty tomb discovered by Jesus’ friends on the day he
rose from the dead is the ultimate sign of God’s mercy and
love for all of us. Jesus’ post-Resurrection words and
appearances should be a source of consolation and
inspiration for us now and always. After Mary Magdela
discovered the empty tomb, Jesus appeared to her and said
“Woman, why are you weeping?...I am going to my Father
and your Father….to my God and your God” (John 20:1517). Later that day Jesus appeared to his disciples who
were hiding behind locked doors for fear of persecution
and said to them, “Peace be with you, as the Father has
sent me, so I send you...receive the Holy Spirit.”
Death and separation from our loved ones are two of life’s
most difficult experiences. The joy of Easter unites us with
God’s mercy to console us and with God’s love, revealed
to us through Jesus Christ and His plan of Salvation which
seeks to unite us with him and one another eternally in
heaven.
In the power of this Truth I wish you all a joy-filled and
holy Easter! I congratulate and welcome those who have
come into the Church during Lent and at our Easter Vigil.
I extend an invitation for those who have been away for
various reasons to come back home;
Divine Mercy Sunday (April 3rd), celebrates Jesus’
invitation for all to return to him by way of his Divine
Mercy. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, along with the praying of the Divine Mercy Chaplet will take place in the church from
3PM to 4:30PM on this day. What a wonderful way to
celebrate this beautiful feast day designated by St. John
Paul II and now experienced during this Jubilee Year of
Mercy.
Please come and make use of the Holy Doors which enable
us to attain the plenary indulgence granted to those who are
prepared to receive it.
May the Peace of the Risen Lord be with you.
Fr. John

Tiempo Ordinario
Domingo
de Pascua:
Resurrección
del Señor
CAPTURADO POR LA HISTORIA
"¡Somos tes gos!" Las lecturas bíblicas del Domingo de Pascua se centran en detalles reportados por
tes gos oculares. Escucha detenidamente y sen rás que la historia te captura. Pedro reporta las buenas
obras hechas por Jesús, su muerte en la cruz, y su Resurrección. El pasaje del Evangelio de san Juan nos
hace correr a la tumba vacía con Pedro y Juan, y dar una mirada adentro para ver el lienzo usado para
cubrir el cuerpo de Jesús. El Salmo 118 resume nuestra respuesta: "¡Es un milagro patente!"
¿Qué detalles de resurrección vemos hoy en nuestra vida? ¿Cómo hemos muerto a la vida vieja y resucitado de nuevo con Jesús? Tengamos bien en cuenta la nueva vida que nos rodea. Es un milagro patente.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hace casi dos mil años María Magdalena fue muy de mañana al sepulcro de Jesús. Fue a rezar como muchos
hacemos ante la tumba de un ser amado. Esa mañana ella se convertiría en apóstol de los apóstoles, primera
testigo de Jesús resucitado de entre los muertos. Siglos después el testimonio de la Magdalena sigue siendo
importante en la historia cristiana. Durante estos días en Anguiano, España, hombres y jóvenes de las viejas
familias de la zona bailan y caminan con una pequeña imagen de la Magdalena. Se visten con camisas y faldones
largos de muchos colores, mostrando la belleza de la diversidad hispana. Ellos bailan en honor de esa santa
mujer de Magdala y lo hacen sobre andas de casi un metro de altura. Ellos toman la imagen desde la iglesia de
su pueblo en las montañas en el norte del país y la llevan bailando por las calles empedradas bajando al
santuario que han preparado para ella. Todo el pueblo reza y festeja en honor de la santa que fue buscando un
difunto y se encontró con el Señor de la vida eternal. ~Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Company
Los sacerdotes, diaconos, y el personal
administrativo de la parroquia de
Saint Mary, les desean a todos nuestros
visitantes y feligreses una Feliz Pascua.
Que todos podamos apreciar y compartir la fe , la
esperanza, el amor y gozo del Tiempo Pascual.
