Please, come and pray with us. Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord "But Peter got up and ran to the tomb." Peter was unique in this response to the news of Jesus' resurrection. The other apostles disregarded the reports from the women who had seen the empty tomb and heard the angels because "their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them." But Peter took action. He got up and ran to see the evidence and "went home amazed at what had happened." On this Easter day, we have a choice to make. We too have heard a remarkable report. We have been told that two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus defeated death and rose from the grave. To many people in today's world, this sounds like nonsense, just like it did when it first happened. Some would like to dismiss the story entirely as a myth at best, or an outright lie at worst. Others try to spiritualize the miracle, suggesting that the Resurrection narrative is a story that is meant to symbolize the power of God, but whether or not Jesus actually rose from the dead is irrelevant. Finally, there are those who simply believe--those who, with Peter, make an act of faith and choose to take the Gospel literally. This of course is the Christian way. It was not the Crucifixion that brought confidence to the early followers of Christ; it was the Resurrection. This momentous event has always made all the difference! We will only water down our faith if we reduce Easter to anything other than a true miracle. But to accept it as such will bolster our faith. As St. Paul wrote in the Epistle to the Romans, "Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life." This Easter, may we experience the great joy of new life in the risen Christ. © Liturgical Publications Inc 5:00 pm 9:00 am 11:30 am + Frank Lembo + Steve Fekete, Sr. + Maria Guzman y Benigno Nunez Liturgical Ministers LECTOR CUP USHER LECTURA EUCARISTĺA PETICIONES MONAGUILLOS LECTOR CUP USHER LECTURA EUCARISTĺA PETICIONES MONAGUILLOS Apr 2– Saturday 5:00 pm Linda Cowart Peter Stone — Joy Stone Sara Triplett — Bob Stofko Apr 2 – Sabado 7:00 pm — Miguel y Benita Rodriguez y Alicia Martinez Gilberto— David Martinez Felipe – Miguel Angel Quintero Apr 3– Sunday 9:00 am Bill Sproul Charles Stephenson — Don Bourdon Gloria Barlowe — Ward Rummell April 3 - Domingo 11:30 am Johanna Nava - Jose Lopez Miguel y Benita Rodriguez y Alicia Martinez Alberto de la Riva Angel — Jackeline - Thilia Fredy – David Urbina Altar Care for April Fran Pursley — Amy Tarr Collection Counters for March 27 & Apr 3 G.

Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection Una Mejor Comprension de la Verdadera Generosidad Pascua de Resurrección En la segunda lectura de hoy, San Pablo recuerda a los Colosenses que ellos han sido resucitados con Cristo, exhortándolos a que “piensen en las cosas del cielo no en las de la tierra.” También nosotros hemos sido resucitados con Cristo.

Domingo de Pascua de la Resurreción del Señor Al entrar hoy a la Iglesia notaremos un ambiente litúrgico diferente. La alegría del Resucitado se siente en el ambiente. Las personas se saludan deseándose "¡Felices Pascuas de Resurrección!" Los recién bautizados esparcen el perfume y la luz de Cristo a los que los rodean. Los símbolos de la celebración están ahí como testigos mudos para continuar iluminando nuestra vida. La luz de Cristo por medio del cirio pascual está al centro de la Iglesia, la palabra de Dios es proclamada con alegría desde el ambón, la pila bautismal nos recuerda que somos hijos e hijas de Dios y la Eucaristía alimento para la jornada pascual nos espera. Este domingo es un buen momento para orar tranquilamente para enseguida salir a decirles a los demás que Cristo ha resucitado, además de acompañar a los amigos de Jesús que viven esta experiencia nueva. ¿En qué momento buscarás el silencio interior? Si no hacemos silencio interior corremos el riesgo de no captar la presencia de Jesús resucitado que nos ofrece un nuevo horizonte en nuestra vida. Hay que contar la historia de Jesús tal y como lo hicieron las mujeres. "Cuando regresaron del sepulcro, las mujeres anunciaron todas estas cosas a los Once y a todos los demás" (Lc 24, 9). Pidamos al Señor que nos ayude a celebrar nuestra Pascua de una forma distinta. El Papa Francisco también nos dice: "Invito a cada cristiano, en cualquier lugar y situación en que se encuentre, a renovar ahora mismo su encuentro personal con Jesucristo o, al menos, a tomar la decisión de dejarse encontrar por Él, de intentarlo cada día sin descanso" (Evangelii Gaudium, número 3).
