A Special Parish Mass On Sunday,
April 26th, At 11:00am
On Sunday, April 26, 2015, Bishop Paul R. Sanchez
would like to celebrate a Mass for our parish. Bishop
Sanchez is one of the Auxiliary Bishops of our diocese.
During this Mass, Bishop Sanchez will pray with us
and for us that God will give us the strength needed to
continue living our faith and sharing our faith with others. Also, Bishop Sanchez will bless the various liturgical ministries of our parish, Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Ushers, Music, as well as, our
religious education teachers, and the Pastor. The Bishop will also have a special blessing for all the children
and young people in our parish. Since this is a very
special Mass for the whole parish, there will be only
one Mass on Sunday, April 26, 2015, at 11:00am.
There will be no 8:45am, 10:00am and 11:45am Masses on Sunday, April 26th. Please plan to be with us at
this Mass as we ask God’s blessing on our parish and
receive that blessing from Bishop Sanchez. We will
continue our celebration after the Mass in our Parish
Hall on 27th Street with food and refreshments. Hope
you will be with us at the Mass and at the Parish Hall.

Third Sunday Of Easter
It had been an especially trying day. He had been out of work for over six months, and despite many interviews,
he had not been offered any positions. He thought he had qualifications for the positions he had applied, what with
a college degree and many years' experience in his field. Still, he continued to be turned down, often with no explanation whatsoever. Depressed, he turned to a particularly good book and read the words of a reassuring friend:
"Peace be with you." That afternoon, he received a call from an employer. Today's Gospel reading is Luke's version of last week's reading from John. Two men have just visited the disciples and told of their encounter with the
risen Jesus on their way to Emmaus. Excitedly, they recalled how they did not recognize him, but felt a burning in
their hearts as they walked along and listened to him speak. Not until he broke the bread at dinner did they understand in whose presence they were. And as they told their story, Jesus appeared to them all in the room, startling
them with his presence so they were unable to recognize him. "Peace be with you," he tells them. At times in our
lives, we are hidden behind locked doors, fearful of the world and what it may have to offer us, or even what it may
want to take from us. It is at these times that we must look for the resurrected Jesus and listen for his offer of
peace. We celebrate the liturgy in expectation of Christ's return; we pray in hope through the Holy Spirit (CCC
2657). When we are fearful, remember the prayer of St. Paul: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit" (Rom 15:13).
Tercer Domingo De Pascua
Cuando estamos ante lo desconocido muchas veces nos paraliza el miedo. Así se nos narran las experiencias
en el Antiguo Testamento. Los israelitas le decían a Moisés: "háblanos tú, no nos hable el Señor porque quizás
moriremos" (Ex 20, 19). También en los anuncios de los ángeles en el Nuevo Testamento la reacción primera de
las personas es de asombro. Y así Zacarías experimenta la presencia de Dios: "se sobresaltó y un gran temor se
apoderó de él" (Lc 1, 12). Lo mismo le sucedió a María cuando el ángel le anunció que ella sería la madre del
Mesías: "ella se preocupó mucho y se preguntaba qué querría decir semejante saludo" (Lc 1, 29). Algo semejante le sucedió a los apóstoles: desconcertados, atónitos, llenos de temor, espantados, con dudas en su interior, y
con el corazón frío, se les obscureció el entendimiento. Por esta razón pensaron que Jesús era un fantasma. Sin
embargo, Cristo resucitado no es ningún fantasma: es el mismo Jesús histórico que vivió entre ellos y ahora entre
nosotros por medio del pan eucarístico. Las lecturas de este día nos ayudan a profundizar en el mensaje de Cristo; un mensaje nuevo, actual, sin temores, y que está dirigido a cada uno de nosotros. Sólo debemos dar testimonio de la presencia real del resucitado ya que somos responsables de su triunfo sobre la muerte. Tal como los
apóstoles, debemos dar testimonio y anunciar y confirmar la gloria del Señor. Pero, ¿cómo son mis relaciones
con Dios? ¿Se basan en el miedo y en la incertidumbre? ¿O podremos decir, tal como Pedro con gran alegría y
valor proclamó en la primera lectura de hoy: "nosotros somos testigos"? ¡Tengamos nosotros también el valor de
exclamar esto!
