Sing, choirs of angels! Exult, all creation around God’s throne! Jesus Christ, our King, is risen! Sound the trumpet of salvation! I am reminded of the reading from the gospel of St. John on Christmas morning: “What came to be through Him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” Today, once again on this Easter Sunday we celebrate God’s promise fulfilled as we pray, “Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor, radiant in the brightness of your King! Christ has conquered! Glory fills you! Darkness vanishes forever.” Easter is a celebration of life and light – it is a celebration of the paschal mystery – the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Bringing the message home. What does Easter mean to you? Is it a new set of clothes, one of the two Sundays in the year you attend Mass or is it a basket of chocolate rabbits and marshmallow peeps? I hope not. “O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam which gained for us so great a Redeemer.” Easter is a special day for each one of us. In this Year of Faith let the Lord Jesus in your life. Where there is the darkness of sin, let Him be the light of forgiveness. Where there is a loss or void in your life let the light of Jesus’ presence fill you. In your happy times celebrate the joy of the Redeemer. Remember, the tomb is empty, the Risen Jesus is with you. Peace and joy in Christ Jesus. Fr.

Our smiles and greetings of “Happy Easter” are symbols of our interior deep joyfulness. We have journeyed with Our Lord through His sufferings, sacrifices, death and Resurrection. We have tried to understand the depth of His faith and trust in His Father’s love. During Lent we have also tried to imitate His loving obedience to His Father’s will. The immensity of His sacrifice to the point of giving over His life for us is a challenge and invitation that we have struggled with as well. Finally His selfless love for His Father and for us has set the standard for our efforts to purify intentions and reach out in love toward God and neighbor. We have journeyed with the Lord, now we celebrate His victory. It is important that as we have grown in faith, hope, and love during the Holy Season of Lent that we continue to do so during the Easter season and beyond. Periods of intense and careful attention to our spirituality need to be built upon. Advent and Lent are meant to give us stronger, deeper foundations for building stronger and more heroic virtue. It is up to us to share our joy, to make a difference for the good and to keep Easter Resurrection an ever present truth. We have died with Christ and have been re-born as new creations. Everything that we do as Resurrection people has the potential to brighten and dazzle our world with the faithful love of God and the inspiring vision of Jesus Christ Risen. Happy Easter! Joyful future! - Msgr. Michael D. McGraw MARCH 31 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 3 WishList S T.

BARBARITO ON THE ELECTION OF POPE FRANCIS We rejoice with the entire Church on the election of Pope Francis as the Shepherd of the Universal Church. The fact that the Cardinals chose him so quickly, especially in view of the requirement of 2/3 vote, is a sign of their unified consensus that he is the most appropriate choice for this ministry of service. We have a series of firsts - among them a new name for a Pope as well as the first Pope from the Americas. He is a very loving, humble, spiritual and capable man with a special love for the poor and marginalized in keeping with the name of his patron, Saint Francis of Assisi. Before giving his blessing to the people gathered in St. Peter’s Square, he bowed his head before them to ask for their prayers. We all also join in prayer for our new Holy Father as he begins his significant ministry of service to all men and women. Viva il Papa! MARCH 31 l ST.

MUY SIMPLE, PERO MUY COMPLETO... UNA ORACIÓN EN CADA DEDO Dice San León Magno que Jesús se apresuró a resucitar cuanto antes porque tenía prisa de consolar a su Madre y a los discípulos: estuvo en el sepulcro el tiempo estrictamente necesario para cumplir los tres días profetizados. Resucito al tercer día pero lo más temprano que pudo, al amanecer, cuando aún estaba oscuro, dice San Juan, el mundo había quedado a oscuras, solo la virgen María era un faro en medio de las tinieblas. La Resurrección es la gran Luz para todo el mundo, Yo soy la luz había dicho Jesús, luz para el mundo, para cada época de la historia, para cada sociedad, para cada hombre. Santo Tomas de Aquino solía aconsejar a sus oyentes que no dejaran de felicitar a la Virgen por la Resurrección de su Hijo. Lo hacemos nosotros también! ¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección! 1. EL PULGARES EL MAS CERCANO A TI. Asi que empieza orando por quienes estan más cerca de ti. Son las personas más fáciles de recordar. Orar por nuestros seres queridos es "una dulce obligación" 2. EL SIGUIENTE DEDO ES EL INDICE. Ora por quienes enseñan, instruyen y sanan. Esto incluye a los maestros, profesores, médicos y sacerdotes. Ellos necesitan apoyo y sabiduria para indicar la dirección correcta a los demás. Tenlos siempre presentes en tus oraciones. 3. EL SIGUIENTE DEDO ES EL MAS ALTO. Nos recuerda a nuestros líderes. Ora por el presidente, los congresistas, los empresarios, y los gerentes. Estas personas dirigen los destinos de nuestra patria y guian a la opinión pública.. Necesitan la guia de Dios. 4. EL CUARTO DEDO ES NUESTRO DEDO ANULAR. Aunque a muchos les sorprenda, es nuestro dedo más debil, como te lo puede decir cualquier profesor de piano. Debe recordarnos orar por los más debiles, con muchos problemas o postrados por las enfermedades. Necesitan tu s oraciones de día y de noche. Nunca será demasiado lo que ores por ellos. También debe invitarnos a orar por los matrimonios. 5. Y POR ÚLTIMO ESTA NUESTRO DEDO MEÑIQUE. El más pequeño de todos los dedos, que es como debemos vernos ante Dios y los demás. Como dice la Biblia "los últimos serán los primeros". Tu meñique debe recordarte orar por ti. Cuando ya hayas orado por los otros cuatro grupos verás tus propias necesidades en la perspectivacorrecta, y podrás orar mejor por las tuyas.
