Dear Parishioners,
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad! On this Easter day, we have
reason to rejoice. We remember in a special way the great mystery of Christ’s triumph over
death. The Risen One comes to each of us saying: “Peace! I am with you now and forever”.
Today, we celebrate in a special way what we remember each Sunday as we gather for
Eucharist. The Lord is in our midst as a saving, life-giving presence. All of our Sundays during
the year are reflected in the light of this Easter Sunday.
But, Easter is not just a day. It is not simply an “event’. It is a season of fifty days. This Easter
“seasoning” gives us the opportunity to savor the rich experience of the paschal feast, tasting
and seeing the goodness of God, revealed in Christ’s dying and rising. This Easter season is
filed with stories and symbols that speak of new light and new life. Can we open our ears and
our eyes to let the Risen One come again into our lives offering us the promise of peace, joy and
love?
One of the many reasons my own heart is overflowing with joy is our new Holy Father and the
example he has given us of simplicity and service. I have been deeply touched by the way in
which he is embodying Christ’s message of “love and service.” I invite you to continue to pray
for him and for the whole Church during this time, so that we may truly be a Church that
reflects the Good News of the Risen Christ who comes to bring us Peace, Joy and Eternal Life.
May this Easter Season be filled with encounters with the Risen Lord who will open our eyes to
the wonders that our gracious God has done for us!
Fr. Bob

BOOK DISCUSSION
On April 21 at 11:15 in the Parish Office all are welcome to participate in a discussion of the
book House of Prayer No. 2: A Writer's Journey Home by Mark Richard. According to the
New York Times Book Review, Richard has penned “an absorbing account of growing up in
the 1960s South, living with a disability, becoming a writer and finding faith. Richard’s book attests to
the power of words (and the Word) in shaping a life. . . . Richard is a fiercely gifted writer. . . . [His]
special childhood results in considerable powers of observation, empathy and imagination.”

Queridos Parroquianos,
¡Éste es el día en que actuó el Señor: sean nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo¡ Este día Pascual nos da
muchas razones para regocijarnos. Recordamos de una manera muy especial el gran misterio
del triunfo de Cristo sobre la muerte. El Resucitado viene a cada uno de nosotros diciendo “La
paz esté con ustedes. Estoy con ustedes ahora y para siempre.” Hoy celebramos la esencia de la
Eucaristía, aquello que nos reúne cada semana: que el Señor está entre nosotros para salvar y
darnos la vida. Cada domingo del año comparte la luz de este domingo Pascual.
Pero la Pascua no dura sólo un día. La Pascua dura 50 días. En verdad es una temporada que la
Iglesia nos da para entrar más profundamente en la alegría que el Cristo Resucitado nos ha
ofrecido. Nos da la oportunidad de gustar y ver la bondad del Señor que quiere que
experimentemos su amor eterno por el amor sacrificial de su Hijo, Jesucristo. Durante esta
temporada Pascual escucharemos las historias que nos cuentan de los primeros discípulos que
se encontraron al Cristo Resucitado en el cenáculo, en el camino a Emaús, en la playa del lago
de Galilea, en el jardín donde se colocó la tumba donde sepultaron a Jesús. Como aquellos
discípulos, tendremos la oportunidad de ver y oír a Jesucristo. ¿Estamos dispuestos a verlo con
ojos abiertos y oírlo con oídos abiertos? ¿Dejaremos recibir en nosotros su promesa de la paz, la
alegría y del amor eterno?
Yo sé que una de las razones por la cual me regocijo en esta Pascua tiene que ver con nuestro
nuevo Papa Francisco y el ejemplo que nos ha dado en su humildad y su dedicación a los
pobres del mundo. Les invito a rezar por él y por toda la Iglesia para que juntos podamos
“amar y servir” al Señor y a nuestros prójimos.
Les deseo que tengan una temporada Pascual llena de toda la alegría y de todas las bendiciones
de nuestro Señor, el Resucitado.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
