Nota

Párroco
Happy Easter!
Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Today we celebrate the feast of Easter and the call to
live as if Jesus’ resurrection has truly taken place. The
news of Jesus risen and among us can sometimes feel
like nonsense in a world where sin and death may
appear to have the last word. Yet Jesus’ rising affirms
that God is faithful and that the promises of God will be
fulfilled. Let us live this Easter and every day as an
emphatic witness to our faith in a God truly alive and in
our midst.
Felices Pascuas!
Cristo ha resucitado! Aleluya!
Al celebrar hoy la resurrección del Señor, estamos
llamados a vivir este evento verdaderamente. La noticia
de que Jesús ha resucitado, a veces no tiene mucho
sentido entre nosotros. Sobre todo en un mundo donde
el pecado y la muerte parecen tener la última palabra.
Sin embargo, la resurrección de Jesús nos confirma que
Dios es fiel y que ha cumplido sus promesas. Vivamos
esta Pascua y cada día como testigos contundentes de
nuestra fe en un Dios vivo y que está entre nosotros.
Peace,

HIS REAL PRESENCE!
He has Risen – The gates of heaven are opened for each one of us to enter!
We have just experienced the great Feast of Easter and Jesus has risen into heaven a er suffering and dying
for all the sins of everyone who was ever born and ever will be born. With the Sunday a er Easter being
Mercy Sunday and all turn to St. Faus na and her Diary with the image of Jesus with His red and white rays
emi ng to all of mankind with the words: ”Jesus, I Trust in You!” This fits in very well with Pope Francis
calling for the year of Mercy. In a le er from Pope Francis he states, “It is indeed my wish that the Jubilee be
a living experience of the closeness of the Father, whose tenderness is almost tangible, so that the faith of
every believer may be strengthened and thus tes mony to it be ever more effec ve.” What be er way to be
close to the Father than to spend an hour before the Blessed Sacrament this coming Friday, April 1, 2016
between 8:00AM and 7:00PM when Jesus will be exposed in the Monstrance for us to show our Love for
Him. HE WAITS YOUR VISIT! NOTE: If you would like to commit to a

Beginning on Thursday, April 21st at 10:30AM, we will start a new study at St. John
Vianney. This new study is tled:
A Biblical Walk through the Mass.
Based on the revised transla on of the Mass, this five-part program takes par cipants
on an exci ng tour of the Liturgy as it explores the biblical roots of the words and
gestures we experience at Mass and explains their profound significance. See, perhaps
for the first me, why we say what we say and do what we do every week at Mass. The
words and gestures will be seen in a new light, giving new life to the liturgical
experience.
The cost is $20.00 per par cipant. Financial Assistance is available.
First class is on Thursday, April 21st from 10:30AM—12:00PM
This is a five session class—with the last class being Thursday, May 19th.

Weekly Stewardship Scripture Reflections
Reflexión de Corresponsabilidad
In the second reading today, St. Paul reminds the
Colossians that they have been raised with Christ,
exhor ng them to “think about the things above
rather than things of earth.” We, too, have been raised
with Christ. Let us rejoice and be glad!
En la segunda lectura de hoy, San Pablo les recuerda a
los Colosenses que ellos han sido resucitados con
Cristo, exhortándolos a que “se preocupen por las
cosas de arriba, no por las de la erra”. Nosotros
también, hemos sido resucitados con Cristo.
¡Regocijémonos y alegrémonos!
Todays Readings
Lecturas de hoy
Acts/ Hechos 10:34a, 37-43
Colossians/ Colosenses 3: 1-4 or
1 Corinthians/ 1 Corin os 5:6b-8
In Acts, Peter’s proclamation of the good news
to the household of Cornelius acknowledges that
“God shows no partiality” (v 34b). While he is
speaking, “the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were
listening to the word” (v
44). These people are gentiles and they will be the first gentiles to be baptized. Christ died for all of us, and his resurrection is a promise of the new life God offers to “everyone who
believes in him” (v 43). We are called to witness to this by
our words and actions.
Writing to the Corinthians, Paul reminds them that
baptism is not a guarantee of eternal life. Some risk losing the
gift because they have fallen into sin. This “little yeast” can
leaven “all the dough” (v 6b) and so is a danger to the community at large. Paul exhorts them to “clear out the old yeast” (v
7). Easter is a time to renew ourselves and reaffirm our faith
in God’s power to save us and make all things new.
In the Gospel, Mary Magdalene’s visit to the tomb
“while it was still dark” (v 1) sets the stage for a new beginning. Jesus had been entombed in a garden (19:41), reminiscent of the story of the Fall in Genesis 3. Jesus’ resurrection
occurs “on the first day of the week” (20:1). In the resurrection, God is re-creating, turning death into life. Mary’s announcement to the disciples that “they have taken the Lord
from the tomb, / and we don’t know where they put him” (v 2)
suggests that even Jesus’ closest followers were not anticipating the resurrection. She thinks the body has been stolen. In
the visit of Peter and “the other disciple” (v 8), we learn that
the empty tomb finds meaning only through the lens of faith.
For Reflection: Do I believe the gospel is for all people or
just a select group? What meaning does Jesus’ resurrection
give to my life?
Psalms/Salmos 118
John / Juan 20:1-9 or
Mark / Marcos 16: 1-7
En los Hechos, la
proclamación de Pedro de
la Buena Nueva a la casa
de Cornelio, da a conocer
que “Dios no hace
diferencia entre las
personas” (v34b).
Mientras él esta hablando,
“El Espíritu Santo cae
sobre todos los que estaban escuchando la palabra” (v44).
Estas personas son gentiles y serán los primeros gentiles en
ser bautizados. Jesucristo murió por todos nosotros, y su
resurrección es una promesa de nueva vida que Dios ofrece a
“quien cree en él” (v43). Todos somos llamados a dar
testimonio de ello, con nuestras palabras y acciones.
Escribiendo a los Corintios, Pablo les recuerda que el
bautismo no es garantía de vida eterna. Algunos arriesgan
perder este regalo por haber caído en pecado. Este “poco de
levadura”, hace fermentar “toda la maza” (v 6b) y así es un
gran peligro a la comunidad entera. Pablo les exhorta a que
“echen fuera la vieja levadura” (v7). La Pascua es el tiempo
para renovarnos y reafirmar nuestra fe en el Poder de Dios
para salvarnos y hacer todo nuevo.
En el Evangelio, la visita de María Magdalena a la
tumba “cuando todavía estaba oscuro” (v1) prepara el escenario para un Nuevo comienzo. Jesús fue sepultado en un jardín
(19:41), evocativo de la historia de la Caída en Génesis 3. La
resurrección ocurre “el primer día de la semana” (20:1) En la
resurrección, Dios esta re-creando, convirtiendo la muerte en
vida. El anuncio de María a los discípulos de que “Se han
llevado del sepulcro al Señor, / y no sabemos donde lo han
puesto.”(v2) sugiere que ni los seguidores mas cercanos de
Jesús estaban anticipando la resurrección. Ella piensa que el
cuerpo ha sido robado. En la visita de Pedro y “el otro discípulo” (v8), aprendemos que la tumba vacía encuentra significado
solo atreves del lente de la fe.
Para Reflexión: ¿Creo que el evangelio es para toda la
gente o solo para un grupo selecto? ¿Que significado le da
la resurrección de Jesús a mi vida?
