Thank You ….
I want to thank all our regular parishioners for helping to make our church
such a warm, caring and friendly
community of faith.
I thank everyone involved in the
preparations of our Holy Week celebrations: our choirs for assisting us as
we entered into our Lord's passion,
death and resurrection through the
gift of rendering beautiful liturgical
music. I greatly appreciate the extra
time and dedication they have given.
I thank all of the altar guild members
for all the extra hours of work that
were involved in making our church
so beautiful and liturgically appropriate for the celebrations of Holy Week
and Easter. Finally, I would like to
thank all those behind the scenes who
helped in any way to set-up and/or
decorate. I also thank our Liturgy
Committee, altar servers, lectors,
EMEs, ushers, students, Station of
the Cross participants who did so
much to make this Easter so beautiful. Together we have been blessed to
use our time and talents to praise and
adore our Risen Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.

Lenten Soup & Bread Meals…
Our Soup & Bread was a wonderful
success this year. Each Friday we
served between 40 and 90 individuals.
The ministries that hosted each Friday
Soup & Bread meal did a wonderful
job and we thank them for their stewardship of time and talent. All the
soups were delicious (not what I
would call a sacrifice to eat)!
All the money collected at the Lenten
Meals will go to our St. Vincent de
Paul Society to assist in their works of
charity. The total we made on the
meals was approximately $946.00.

Treasures From Our Tradition
Our tradition has a way of honoring
age-old customs, and is patient with
how practices unfold in different places. The name of today's feast illustrates this well. English is a Germanic
language, and our word "Easter," or
German "Oester," points back to the
pagan goddess Eoestre, the star of the
vernal equinox feast. The Greek title
"Pasch" reaches back in a more helpful manner to the Hebrew "Pesach,"
or "Passover." "Paschal Triduum"
may be slow to replace "Easter" in
our vocabulary, but it is clearer about
the mystery we celebrate today, the
culmination of three days laden with
mystery and meaning.
You can hear the older term, and the
resistance to English influence, in the
Irish "Casca" and Scottish "Pask."
Romance languages stay close to the
deep paschal tradition, with the
French "Pâques," Spanish "Pascua"
and Italian "Pasqua." Memories of
our pagan past with "Oester" will not
soon fade away: even Japanese Christians are under her spell, for today's
feast is called " I-suta." Swahili, a
young language, takes the more traditional route with "Pasaka." Each language yields a rich insight into the
feast. Spanish includes a sense that
today is a "big Sunday" by adding the
designation "Pascua" to the greatest
feasts, such as "Pascua de la Natividad" (Christmas). Once Christ is risen,
every step of life's journey is illuminated by the light of the Pasch!

Euthanasia and Blessed Clemens
von Galen
"Once admit the right to kill unproductive persons .... then none of us
can be sure of his life." So spoke Cardinal Clemens von Galen, of Munster,
Germany, in 1941. This Cardinal was
called the "Lion of Munster," because
he roared with the voice of the Gospel
against the atrocities of the Nazi Regime.
On October 9, 2005, he was beatified
at St Peter's Basilica in Rome. During
his life, the Cardinal protested with
special force against euthanasia:

"The opinion is that since they (the
old) can no longer make money, they
are obsolete machines, comparable
with some old cows that can no longer give milk or some horse that has
gone lame .... Here we are dealing
with human beings, with our neighbors, brothers and sisters, the poor
and the invalids .... unproductive,
perhaps. But have they, therefore, lost
the right to live? Have you or I the
right to exist only because we are productive?" (August 3,1941)

The continuing story of “Joseph”…
April 5 (week 3)
Multiplying and developing rapidly,
Joseph’s cells are separating into those
that will form his body and organ
systems. Before the second week is
over, his cells have separated into those
that will give rise to the brain, the
nervous system, skin, digestive system,
muscles, bones, and circulatory system. I praise you, so wonderfully you
made me . . . . my bones were not hidden from you, when I was being made
in secret, fashioned as in the depths of
the earth. (Psalm 139)

Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
6
April 5, 2015
An Easter Message from our Pastor
“And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen.” Mk 16: 6
Easter celebrates Jesus’ Resurrection, his triumph over sin and death. His victory is our own victory
and it becomes the fundamental base and truth of our Christian Faith. A Paschal hymn that we use to
sing every year in my home Parish calls Easter, "La reina de todas la estaciones," “the Queen of all seasons.” "día esplendoroso," "la fiesta regia de todas las fiestas". "Éste es el día que hizo el Señor, sea nuestra alegría
y nuestro gozo". “Splendorous day,” “The Feast of all Feasts.” This is the day, that the Lord has made, we will
rejoice, we will rejoice, and be glad in it, and be glad in it”
The Paschal Proclamation is concrete, clear and very profound: “The Tomb is empty,” “Jesus has risen.” What was a fatality for most became the new beginning for many.
All of the Gospel writers give testimony to this universal and historical event. From the beginning their
testimony and the inner change they experienced in their lives were vital and impressed in that rising
“new community,” called “The Way.”
Easter Sunday “is not” just the conclusion of Holy Week, we would not write “The End,” to the story. Rather it is the beginning of a more joyful, truthful and more meaningful personal and universal
story. It is the reminder of what our faith and God’s message is about: “New Life.”
Today then is a joyful Day. It is the day of celebrating our deliverance from the bondage of death to the
joy of life, from the slavery of sin to the over exultant grace, from grief to consolation and comfort,
from sadness to joy, from despair to hope.
Today, Jesus invites us to sing all together: “Alleluia” and to bring this message of hope and life to every corner of our culture. (Alleluia / Hallelujah, comes from a Hebrew phrase ('hallelu yah') which means Praise
the Lord! 'Hallel' is the Hebrew word for 'praise', and 'Yah' is the short form of 'Yahweh - the name for God.).
Pope Francis reminded us, a year ago, that as witnesses of Christ’s resurrection, we are called to invite
everyone to “Come and see!”. He added that “ In every human situation, marked by frailty, sin and
death, the Good News is no mere matter of words, but a testimony to unconditional and faithful love: it
is about leaving ourselves behind and encountering others, being close to those crushed by life’s troubles, sharing with the needy, standing at the side of the sick, elderly and the outcast… “Come and
see!”: Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.”
With this joyful certainty in our hearts, today we turn to you, risen Lord!
Help us to seek you and to find you, to realize that we have a Father and are not orphans; that we can
love and adore you. Let us celebrate all together this season (and always in our lives) the powerful message of this Sunday. Let us today and always experience times of joy, charity, forgiveness, peace, new
births, mercy, justice and GLORY.”
Have a Blessed and joyful Easter!

presentes, tomándolos para llevárselos
al cielo. El imaginario cristiano normalmente pinta a Jesús con Adán y Eva.
Los toma no de las manos sino del pulso, simbolizando que los tiene bien agarrados y nadie, ni el mismo diablo, se los
puede quitar. Jesús comparte con todos
los difuntos la victoria de su resurrección.

La eutanasia y el Beato Clemens
von Galen
"Una vez que se admite el derecho de
matar a las personas improductivas ....
entonces ninguno de nosotros puede
estar seguro de su vida. "Así habló el
cardenal Clemens von Galen de Munster, Alemania, en 1941. Este cardenal
fué llamado el" León de Munster,
"porque él rugió con la voz del Evangelio contra las atrocidades del régimen
nazi ,
El 9 de octubre 2005 el fué beatificado
en la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma.
Durante su vida, el cardenal protestó
con fuerza especial contra la eutanasia:
"Hay una opinión de que ellos (los
viejos), ya que no pueden hacer dinero,
son máqui -nas obsoletas, comparable
con algunas vacas viejas que ya no
pueden dar leche o algún caballo que ha
quedado cojo.... Aquí estamos tratando
con seres humanos, con nuestros
vecinos, hermanos y hermanas, los
pobres y los enfermos .... Quizás son
improductivos, Pero han, por lo tanto,
perdido el derecho a vivir? Usted o yo
tenemos el derecho a existir solamente
porque somos productivos? " (Agosto
3,1941)

La fe en Cristo y el compromise
