NOTRE DAME CHURCH HOUSTON, TEXAS MARCH 27, 2016 From the Pastor This Week in Our Parish An ancient legend tells about a monk who discovered the crown of thorns that had been pressed on Jesus’ head. Covered with blood, it was a horrible sight. The monk took it with care and placed it on the side altar of a church. The people glanced at it, and then turned away. It reminded them of the ugliness and cruelty of sin, their own sins. The crown of thorns remained there until Easter morning when at sunrise, the monk made his way into the church. As he approached the altar, he detected a strange fragrance. The sun was so bright that at first he could not tell what had happened. The sun centered its rays on the sharp thorns. From there emerged roses of rare beauty and a most pleasing fragrance. -Sunday, Mar. 27- EASTER SUNDAY Mass Schedule – 4:00 a.m. (Salubong), 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.(All in English), 1:00 p.m. (Español). 5:00 p.m. English) NOTRE DAME YOUTH PRESENTS Isn’t the legend simply beautiful and true? Because it illustrates the power of Christ’s death and Resurrection, which conquered sin and death and replaced it with grace and life; which transformed the cross from an instrument of death and punishment into a source of life and salvation; which brought forth a beautiful rose from an ugly thorn.

And so each time we love again after having our love rejected, we share in the power of the resurrection. Each time we trust again after having our trust betrayed, we share in the resurrection. Each time we hope again, after our hope has been smashed into pieces, we share in the resurrection. Each time we pick up the pieces again, we share in the power of the resurrection. And so Easter is not just the promise of resurrection after we die, but we can experience it here and now. The tomb which imprisons, which is dark, which is closed in itself, which smells of death simply could not contain Jesus’ body. The empty tomb attests to his rising from the dead. The invitation for us is to let him empty the tomb that encloses us in our selfishness and unwillingness to forgive, the tomb that darkens our relationships, the tomb that steals and stifles the joy in our homes. From all of us, the clergy and staff of Notre Dame, a graced and happy Easter! Your brother and friend, Fr.

MISTOLOGIA Apr. 04Oración y Espiritualidad Catequista: Carmen Martinez Apr. 11La Iglesia y la Doctrina Social Catequista: Gerardo Salazar RESURRECTION OF THE LORD (EASTER SUNDAY) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Del Pastor: EN NUESTRA PARROQUIA Una historia legendaria dice acerca de un monje que descubrió la corona de espinas que estuvo presionando la cabeza de Jesús. Cubierta con sangre, era una visión horrible. El monje la tomó con cuidado y la colocó al lado del altar de una iglesia. La gente la miraba, y se alejaban. Les recordaba de la fealdad y lo cruel del pecado, de sus mismos pecados. La corona de espinas permaneció en ese lugar hasta la mañana de la Pascua cuando al amanecer, el monje llegó a la iglesia. Mientras se acercaba al altar, el detectaba una fragancia extraña. El sol brillaba tanto que al principio no podia decir que había pasado. El sol centraba sus rayos en las afiladas espinas. De allí salían rosas de una extraña belleza y una fragancia bastante agradable. ¿No es la leyenda simplemente bella y verdadera? Porque ilustra el poder de la muerte Resurrección de Jesucristo, qué conquistó el pecado y la muerte y los reemplazó con la gracia y la vida; qué transform la cruz de un instrument de castigo y muerte en una fuente de salvación y vida; qué dió vida a una bella rosa, de una horrible espina. Ciertamente la Resurrección guarda poder – el mismo poder de Dios qué puede sacar lo bueno de lo malo y escribir líneas rectas de las líneas retorcidas. Y así cada vez que amamos después de que nuestro amor ha sido rechazado, compartimos el poder de la resurrección. Cada vez que confiamos nuevamente después de que nuestra confianza ha sido traicionada, compartimos en la resurrección. Cada vez que volvemos a tener esperanza, después de que nuestra esperanza ha sido hecha pedazos, compartimos en la resurrección. Cada vez que recogemos los pedazos nuevamente, nosotros compartimos en la resurrección. Así que la Pascua no es solamente la promesa de la resurrección después de que morimos, pero la podemos experimentar aquí y ahora. La tumba que nos aprisiona, que es oscura, que está cerrada por si misma, que huele a muerte simplemente no pudo detener al cuerpo de Jesús. La tumba vacía da testimonio de su resurrección de entre los muertos. La invitación para nosotros es que lo dejemos a él vaciar la tumba que nos mantiene en nuestro egoismo y poca disposición al perdón, la tumba que oscurece nuestras relaciones, la tumba que roba y reprime la alegría en nuestros hogares. De parte de todos nosotros, el clero y el personal de Notre Dame, ¡ una feliz y bendita Pascua! Su hermano y amigo, Padre Rolando Una cosquillita: Un grupo de cantantes llamado “La Resurrección” estaba programado para dar un recital en la iglesia. Pero, porque hubo una tormenta de nieve, se programó para una fecha futura indefinida.
