HAPPY EASTER!
Yes, we can still say that. We are within the Easter season.
Last week was Divine Mercy Sunday. The 8 days from Easter
Sunday to Divine Mercy Sunday is known as the Octave of
Easter and is considered an especially joyful time. However,
Easter continues! As the most important feast in the Christian
calendar, the Easter Season continues for 50 days, through the
Ascension of Our Lord to Pentecost Sunday.
So keep celebrating the
Resurrection of Our Lord!
STAY WITH US, LORD
Walk with us, Lord,
along the road of resurrection!
Explain for us, so slow to believe,
the things that Scripture says of you.
Break the bread of the Eucharist with us
whenever we share our lives
with our brothers and sisters.
Stay with us
each time night approaches
and the daylight fades in our hearts!

on the road to Emmaus, we also come to know that our daily
reaching out to our neighbor is our daily walk with the risen

St. Vincent de Paul will show that you are indeed walking with
Jesus and recognizing him in the poor and suffering.

2.- AL PARTIR EL PAN.- Camino de Emaús. Camino triste a
la ida y gozoso a la vuelta. Iban cabizbajos, en silencio, rumiando
cada uno en su interior los hechos trágicos que habían
presenciado en el Calvario. El Mesías había perdido su poder, lo
habían maniatado sin que ofreciera la menor resistencia, aparecía
vencido y a merced de sus enemigos. Y ellos habían pensado que
Jesús de Nazaret sería el gran caudillo libertador de su Pueblo, el
elegido de Yahvé, el nuevo Gedeón o el nuevo Moisés, que
reduciría a la nada a sus poderosos enemigos, a la omnipotente
Roma. En cambio, el Maestro había sido apresado, juzgado,
condenado y ejecutado en la cruz.

Clima de gozo íntimo, de esperanza en carne viva, de alegría
honda, de optimismo primaveral. Cristo ha vuelto a la vida.
Aquellos hombres, los apóstoles que, a pesar de sus miserias,
amaban entrañablemente a Jesús, se llenan de júbilo al verle de
nuevo entre ellos, al oír su voz, al escuchar aquel saludo tan
maravilloso: La paz sea con vosotros. Por encima de las nubes
más densas siempre brilla el sol, y bajo el mar encrespado hay
siempre una gran calma. Así tiene que ser continuamente nuestra
vida, llena de serenidad y de calma. Anclados fuertemente en la
fe, soportando con entereza todos los vaivenes de la vida,
logrando conservar la paz de espíritu, sabiendo descubrir, tras lo
que sea, la mano de Dios Padre que nos acaricia y nos consuela.
