GOSPEL REFLECTION: “Give thanks to the Lord for He
is good, His love is everlasting!” said our Psalmist today. Our God is truly an awesome God for He has given
His Only Begotten Son, Jesus to redeem us from our
sinfulness and condemnation and to give us life, a life
to its fullest. Let us reflect on the importance of Easter. Today, Second Sunday of Easter which is also Divine Mercy Sunday, we give thanks to the Lord for His
ocean of mercy. Easter is a season of joy, hope and
love. And this Easter joy should be celebrated the
whole liturgical year. The Paschal Mysteries, the
Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, are
celebrated in all the Sundays – Easter Sunday is for the
liturgical year and Sunday is for the week. In the Holy
Mass, the priest sends us forth by saying: “Go in peace,
glorifying the Lord by your life! Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia!”
GRATITUDE!: People who came to the Holy Triduum
Liturgies (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter
Vigil) and the Easter Sunday Celebrations commented
that those liturgical celebrations were soul-lifting
encounters. The liturgical environment, liturgies,
ministers and the active participation helped them
enter into the Paschal Mysteries. This never happened
if not all the smallest contributions of time, talents and
treasures of all of you. From Palm Sunday, Holy
Thursday to Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday, it was
truly an experience and encounter with our Suffering
but Glorious and Risen Lord! Thank You! Thank
You! Thank You!
CONGRATULATIONS: The following neophytes received were baptized, confirmed and received their
First Communion – Cristian Badillo, Gelin Barrios,
Keyli Gonzales, Nick Hood, Damian Llanos, Leonard
Marino and Gabriela Sandoval.
UPDATE: After the busyness of Lent and Holy Week
and Easter Sunday celebrations, our students in the
CCD are now readily preparing themselves for their
First Communion and Confirmation. Let us pray for
them. The Parish Festival 2016 Solicitation Letters are
available for
our generous
sponsors and
benefactors. If you have some sponsor prospects,
please call the Parish Office so that we can either send
the Letter or you can pick it up and send it to them.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is grateful
for all your help. God bless you!
Do you like to sing?
Have you ever thought about singing in the
choir? The Saturday 5:30 pm and Sunday
9:00 am Masses Choir is looking for more
members. Please call the office if interested.
Every first Sunday of the month, the Knights
of Columbus serve Coffee and Donuts after
the 7:30 am and 9:00 am Masses at the
Twomey Room. Please come and join us!

REFLEXIONES DEL EVANGELIO: «Demos gracias al
Senor porque el es bueno, que su amor es eterno!»,
nuestro salmista dijo hoy. Nuestro Dios es un Dios
impresionante porque el nos ha dado a su Hijo
unigenito, Jesus, para redimirnos de nuestros pecados
y condenacion y para que nos de vida, una vida al
maximo. Reflexionemos sobre la importancia de la
Pascua. Hoy es segundo domingo de Pascua y es
tambien el domingo de la misericordia divina, demos
gracias al Senor por su mar de misericordia. La Pascua
es una temporada de alegría, esperanza y amor. Y esta
alegría de la Pascua debe celebrarse el ano liturgico
entero. Los misterios de la pascula, la pasion, muerte y
resurreccion de Jesus, se celebran todos los domingos
– el domingo de resurreccion es para el ano liturgico y
el domingo es para la semana. En la Santa Misa, el
sacerdote nos envía por delante diciendo: "ve en paz,
glorifica al Senor por tu vida! Aleluya, Aleluya,
Aleluya!"
AGRADECIMIENTO!: A las personas que asistieron a
las liturgias del Triduo Santo (Jueves Santo, Viernes
Santo y Vigilia Pascual) y las celebraciones del
domingo de Pascua, se nos ha dicho que las
celebraciones liturgicas se avivan el alma. El ambiente
liturgico, liturgias, ministros y la participacion activa
nos ayudo a entrar en los misterios pascuales. Esto no
hubiese pasado sin todas las contribuciones de tiempo,
talentos y dones de todos ustedes. Desde el domingo
de Ramos, el Jueves Santo a la Vigilia Pascual y el
domingo de Resurrecion, fueron realmente una
experiencia y encuentro con nuestro sufrimiento pero
glorioso y resucitado! ¡Gracias! ¡Gracias! Gracias!
FELICIDADES: Los neofitos siguientes recibieron
bautismo, confirmacion y primera comunion – Cristian
Badillo, Gelio Barrios, Keyli Gonzales, Nick Hood,
Damian Llanos, Leonard Marino y Gabriela Sandoval.
