First Reading: Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Peter discusses Jesus' life of preaching and healing. Jesus
was crucified, and then he rose up and was seen by his
chosen witnesses. Peter also mentions the importance of all
the disciples bearing witness to what they saw, so that many
people would believe in Jesus, and have their sins forgiven
through him.

Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
Paul asserts that we must pay attention to higher realms
rather than earthly concerns. Our life is not yet completely
known to us, until Christ appears and we are raised to glory
in him.

Gospel: John 20:1-9
When Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus' tomb was open,
she told Simon Peter and another disciple. They ran to the
tomb and Peter went inside. He found the burial wrappings
on the ground, with the head covering separate from the
rest. The other disciple came in and they believed what they
saw, although until then they had not understood the
Scripture's message of Jesus' resurrection.

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
“They found the stone rolled back from the tomb; but when they entered the tomb they
did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were still at a loss what to think of
this, two men in dazzling garments appeared beside them. Terrified, the women bowed to
the ground. The men said to them: ‘Why do you search for the living among the dead. He
is not here, he has been raised up…’ On their return from the tomb, they told all these
things to the Eleven and the others.”
It is our faith in the Risen Lord which gathers us today. The greatest miracle of Jesus summons
us to say ‘I believe.’ Others might ask of us ‘why do you search for Jesus today?’ ‘Do you really
believe He is alive?’
It is our Easter faith, which prompts us to be filled with joy and happiness. It is our faith in Christ
among us, which strengthens and supports us. Our search today is to discover the living Christ
among us. Pope Francis has told us ‘Jesus Christ is the face of the Father’s mercy… Mercy has
become living and visible in Jesus of Nazareth.’
Not unlike the women, we are believers and bring the good news of the Risen Christ to others. It
is this Easter faith which brings healing and hope. It is this faith which gives meaning to our
lives. We proclaim the great Easter cry ‘Alleluia.’
UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES
SU PALABRA HOY por el Reverendo William J. Reilly
Domingo de Pascua de la Pasión de Nuestro Señor
27 de marzo de 2016
“Ellas encontraron removida la piedra del sepulcro y entraron, pero no hallaron el cuerpo del Señor Jesús.
Mientras estaban desconcertadas a causa de esto, se les aparecieron dos hombres con vestiduras
deslumbrantes. Como las mujeres, llenas de temor, no se atrevían a levantar la vista del suelo, ellos les
preguntaron: ‘¿Por qué buscan entre los muertos al que está vivo? No está aquí, ha resucitado…’ Cuando
regresaron del sepulcro, refirieron esto a los Once y a todos los demás.”
Es nuestra fe en el Resucitado lo que nos reúne hoy. El más grande milagro de Jesús nos cita a declarar ‘Creo’. Otros
pueden preguntarnos ‘¿Por qué buscan a Jesús hoy? ¿Realmente creen que El vive?
Es nuestra fe en la Pascua lo que nos mueve a estar llenos de alegría y felicidad. Es nuestra fe en Cristo entre nosotros
lo que nos fortalece y apoya. Nuestra búsqueda hoy es para descubrir el Cristo viviente entre nosotros. El Papa
Francisco nos ha dicho: ‘Jesucristo es el rostro de la misericordia del Padre.’ La misericordia se convierte en viva y
visible en Jesús de Nazaret.
Al igual que las mujeres, creemos y traemos las buenas nuevas del Cristo Resucitado a otros. Es esta fe en la Pascua lo
que nos trae sanación y esperanza. Es esta fe la que da sentido a nuestras vidas. Proclamamos la gran ovación de la
Pascua: ¡Aleluya!
