My dear Parishioners,
SUNDAY, 7:00 a.m.: People of the Parish
As we observe this Octave Day of the glorious Feast of the
Resurrection of the Lord, I look back over the past holy
days of Lent and the Sacred Triduum that so many of us
have been able to spend together, and thank God for the
many blessings that have come to our parish. I have been
edified by the commitment of so many to the Lenten Longings weekly gatherings and to the enthusiastic involvement
of our youth in their Lenten retreat, as well as the steady
attendance of so many at weekly Stations of the Cross. Lent
was a time well spent in preparation for the celebration of
the great Paschal Mystery.

SATURDAY,4:30pm: Maria Teresa Briz, her soul+ (req. Marilyn
Dos Santos)
I want to thank all who shared in any way in preparing for
and carrying out our beautiful Holy Week observances—
from Palm Sunday right through to Easter itself. I realize
that the bilingual celebration of the liturgies of the Sacred
Triduum can be challenging for some Spanish as well as
English speaking members, but, overall, those services were
strikingly beautiful and deeply devout. Our joint participation was a small but meaningful reflection of the Church
Christ established. The blending of musical traditions with
the ancient Holy Week hymns added to the richness of our
celebrations. I found the veneration of the Cross on Good
Friday a most moving experience—one I look forward to
each year as pastor, to hold the Cross as each person
venerates it. The sight of little children kissing the feet of
the Crucified is one of the most blessed experiences a priest
could ever have.

Segundo Domingo de Pascua/B
Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
Celebramos hoy el segundo Domingo de Pascua,
también llamado de la Misericordia Divina. Ocho días
después de la gozosa celebración de la resurrección
del Señor , el mismo se hace presente otra vez entre
nosotros y nos da su Paz y su Espíritu. Una presencia
que nos llena de alegría y nos consolida en la fe.
La resurrección de Jesucristo ha sido para nosotros un
nuevo nacimiento. Todos los años, La Pascua nos
hace revivir lo mas decisivo de nuestra fe: que Jesús,
muerto por amor, vive ahora para siempre; y que
no sot ro s, uni d os a El , he mos c ome nz a d o
t a mbi é n una vi da nue va .
Esta es, mis queridos Hermanos, la gran tarea o misión que Jesús nos propone. Es el gran desafío al que
nos convoca porque quiere por nosotros transformar
el mundo de pecado y tinieblas en un mundo nuevo
de Luz, Paz y Amor.
La palabra de Dios es y debe ser la fuente inspiradora
de nuestro que-hacer transformador. Asumir la
Palabra de Dios y hacerla realidad de nuestra vida.
Un ejemplo claro lo tenemos en la primera lectura de
hoy. Frente al testimonio que nos p re se nt a d e l a
pri me ra c omu ni d ad , d e be mos t oma rl o c o mo
e j e mpl o y dar, a su vez, nuestro testimonio.
Por otra parte, San Juan en la segunda lectura nos dice
como debemos vivir los que hemos nacido de nuevo
por nuestra fe en Cristo resucitado.
Finalmente, en el evangelio, San Juan nos presenta la
aparición de Jesús Resucitado como dador de Paz.
Describe el nacimiento de la Iglésia: hay un grupo de
discípulos; la presencia del Crucificado, que ahora es
el Resucitado, el envio al mundo; el don del Espíritu
Santo; el mensaje del perdón de los pecado. El texto
evangelico remarca la continuidad entre Jesús y la
Iglésia: de la misma manera que Jesús es enviado por
el Padre con una misión, asi mismo la Iglésia es enviada
por Jesús con su mision; como Jesús ha sido el
portador del Espíritu, asi la Iglésia también es
portadora del mismo. La comunidad Cristiana
encuentra su modelo y mandato en el mismo Jesús.
La Iglésia es una realidad completamente diferente de
cualquier otro grupo social: tiene un origen divino y
descubre su razón de ser no en sus aparentes éxitos o
fracasos, sino en la llamada y el encargo de Jesús.
Mis Hermanos, que la alegría pascual este viva
si e mp re e n nosot r o s.
P. Alberto, C.P.
