Easter Sunday
Dear Friends in Christ,
March 31, 2013
Divine Mercy Sunday
These last few days we
have remembered how
the Lord knelt and
washed the feet of his
disciples, teaching them
that love and service are
the hallmarks of true
followers of Jesus. We have remembered
how Jesus handed over his life in humility
and was nailed to a cross for our sins and the
sins of the world. And this Easter we
remember how this incredible love God has
for us has transformed our dying into new
life. In the mystery and power of his love,
Christ is able to create all things new. May
the Lord create all our hearts anew so that
we may proclaim the Good News of Easter
with a deeper conviction of what God has
done for each of us personally and for the
world!
With Easter Blessings!
Fr. Mike

“For by the sacrifice of his own
body, Christ did two things: he
put an end to the law of death
which barred our way, and he
made a new beginning of life for
us, by giving us the hope of
resurrection!” —St. Athanasius
Good News!
The parish recently
received a final
distribution of around
$20,000 from the
Aurora Grazier living
trust. Aurora left the
parish close to $300,000. The Parish
Finance Council recently approved giving
St. Didacus School $100,000 for Capital
Improvements. Last year we also put
$90,000 on deposit to help pay for our
part-time youth minister for the coming
years.
We give thanks to God for all of our
benefactors over the years and especially
for our parishioners whose generosity
make us a viable parish community. May
God bless you all.
With gratitude,
Fr. Mike
Empty Tombs
Again this Easter the Gospel
proclaims to the disciples of
Jesus: “The Lord’s tomb is empty!
He is risen!” Grace and life in
Christ have defeated sin and
death. But the good news calls out
to each believer even more
intimately: “Your tomb is empty!
You will rise!”
Jesus lived and died and rose so
that we might live, die, and rise to
eternal life with him. However, our faith in resurrection is
not confined to a postmortem moment. It has been said
that when a Christian comes to the end of life, he or she
will have left behind a trail of empty tombs, only the very
last one of which will be the grave. Children grow into
young adults, and when they leave home and strike out
on their own, they die to one way of living and arise to
another. At times we need to die to old ways of thinking,
of judging and relating to others, of handling challenges
and difficulties.
When the spirit of Jesus delivers us from doubt or
confusion or fear or grief, we leave an empty tomb
behind. Whenever we choose with grace to let go of envy
or anger or greed, we are raised from “a little death.”
Whenever prayer and the help and example of others
strengthens us to overcome an addiction or a sinful
behavior, we step out from a darkened grave into the light
of God’s loving regard. We are an Easter people, and the
Savior’s victory over the grave is ours as well.
—Archbishop George H. Niederauer from Give Us This Day

Domingo de Pascua
Palabras del Párroco
Detalles pequeños y ordinarios
Queridos Amigos en Cristo,
Estos últimos días hemos recordado cómo el Señor
se arrodilló y le lavó los pies a sus discípulos, enseñándoles que el amor y el servicio son las señales
de identidad de los verdaderos seguidores de Jesús.
Recordamos cómo el Señor Jesús entregó su vida
con humildad y fue clavado en una cruz por nuestros
pecados y los pecados del mundo. Y en esta Pascua
agradecemos el gran amor que Dios tiene por nosotros y que ha transformado nuestra muerte y nos da
nueva vida. Este es el misterio y el poder del amor
de Cristo, que es capaz de crear todas las cosas nuevas. Que el Dios que recrea todo, renueve nuestros
corazones para que podamos proclamar la Buena
Nueva de la Pascua con una convicción más profunda de lo que Dios ha hecho por cada uno de nosotros
y por el mundo.
Con mi bendición Pascual,
31 de marzo 2013
P. Mike

LA SOCIEDAD DEL ALTAR
El grupo de la Sociedad del Altar quiere invitar a las
parroquianas de la comunidad Hispana de San Didacus a su junta mensual el miércoles 3 de abril a las
12PM . Incluyendo el almuerzo, este grupo ayuda a
recaudar fondos para nuestra comunidad parroquial.
Las juntas son en ingles.
Las esperamos.
Antes del amanecer, María Magdalena va a
la tumba de Jesús en el jardín, su primer
reporte a los otros discípulos es sobre un
cuerpo robado: “no sabemos dónde lo han
puesto”. En su duelo y desconcierto, ella
no ha encontrado mejor explicación; pero,
¿quiénes son “ellos”? La verdad aparece poco a poco. Conviene
recordar esto porque nos gusta la claridad inmediata hasta en
los asuntos menos importantes.
La realidad vívida de la Resurrección se va asomando en
pequeños detalles: la simple y ordenada colocación de las sábanas. A menudo, parece que nos gastamos la vida en pequeñas
cosas: quehaceres domésticos, responsabilidades del trabajo,
idas y venidas, los deberes cotidianos, los pagos, cuidar niños o
ancianos. Y Jesús se toma los primeros momentos de su vida
resucitada para un gesto menor que los redima, dándole profundo sentido a lo que parece insignificante. Nunca debemos
despreciar lo común y simple, cuando él lo ha distinguido tan
expresamente.
También aprendemos de la carrera de Pedro hasta la tumba, aunque él no fue el primero en llegar. Definitivamente, él se
mueve ya desde el fondo de su traición cuando negó a Jesús.
Aprendemos que quedarse en las faltas del pasado es perder
tiempo y desperdiciar energías. Volver y volver sobre los errores cometidos o sobre recuerdos dolorosos no es el camino a la
Resurrección. Aún sin correr tan rápido, haremos bien en seguir los pasos de Pedro; él camina desde la profunda oscuridad
hasta las alturas exultantes, y podemos experimentar lo mismo.
La parroquia recibió recientemente una
herencia de $20,000.00 de la Sra. Aurora Grazier. La Sra. Grazier le dio a la
parroquia cercana a $300.000. 00
El
consejo financiero aprobó darle a nuestra escuela parroquial $100,000.00 para
las reparaciones que la escuela necesita. El año pasado se depositaron $90,000.00 para ayudar a pagar, medio tiempo a un ministro para los jóvenes por algunos años.
Con nuestra gratitud,
P. Mike
