EASTER SUNDAY
April 5, 2015
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the LORD.
— Psalm 118:17
My Dear Parishioners,
Easter is a season of joy, compassion and renewal. Our Lenten journey has brought us to
Calgary. We continue to walk with the Risen Lord every day.
He is Risen! Alleluia! He is among us! Alleluia! We have walked with Jesus to Calgary and
because of Calgary we have a choice. (We have the freedom to choose.)
I choose love. . .
To love God and all that God loves.
I choose joy . . .
To see God in everyone and everything that God created.
I choose peace . . .
To forgive and to live in forgiveness.
I choose patience … When encountering inconveniences see them as opportunities to deal with
them in joy and courage.
I choose kindness . . . To be there for others in their need.
I choose faithfulness . .To God and to the Gospel
Easter is the day to renew our faith and hope in the Risen Lord. Thank God for the choices He
has given to us. Commit to these choices.
Today is the day of resurrection, the highest point of our faith. This is the day we celebrate every
Sunday when we gather and worship our Risen Lord.
As we celebrate Easter Sunday and our renewal of faith I would like to take this opportunity to
thank all of those who have helped during this wonderful season. To the staff, to our volunteers, to all
who worked so hard to make this day the wonderful celebration that it is.
Thank you to all who donated Easter flowers and lilies for our Altar. Their beauty reminds us of
Christ’s Resurrection and the newness of life. There is a new life for all of us after the tomb.
Happy Easter to all of you and, as always, you are in my prayers.
Father Tom

From The Principal of St. Felicitas School
— Meghan Jorgensen —
Thank you to all of those that supported our Eighth
graders by attending the Stations of the Cross on Good
Friday. We are so grateful to you for journeying the way
of the cross with us and we hope that we were able to
open your eyes to the amazing love of Jesus for all of us.
I hope that all of you have a wonderfully blessed
Easter filled with God’s grace and conquering love.
O Risen Lord, the way, the truth, and the life!
Make us faithful followers of the spirit of
Your Resurrection.
Grant that we may be inwardly renewed;
dying to ourselves in order that You may live in us.
May our lives serve as signs of the transforming
power of Your love.
Use us as Your instruments for the renewal of society,
bringing Your life and love to all, and leading
them to Your Church.
Amen
First Holy Communion
May 2, 2015
We would like to encourage family, friends and
members of the parish community to join us in prayer for
the children of our parish that will be celebrating the
Sacrament of First Holy Communion on May 2nd.
Prayer cards of the students that have been preparing
for First Communion were distributed to parishioners last
weekend. We asked them to take one of these cards home
and remember that child in their prayers.
We welcome you to send a card to that child. Please
write the child’s complete name on any cards that you
send. Cards for our First Communion students can be
dropped off at the Religious Education office or
St. Joseph Center by April 29th and we will forward
these to the children.
~~Thank you!

Suy Niệm Chúa Nhật Chúa nhật Phục Sinh: Ga 20,1-9
Tình yêu biến đổi
“Sáng sớm ngày thứ nhất trong tuần, lúc trời còn tối, bà Maria Mácđala đi đến mộ, thì thấy tảng đá đã lăn khỏi
mộ”. (Ga 20,1)
Bà Maria Mácđala chỉ chờ vừa hết ngày Sabát, mới sáng sớm, “lúc trời còn tối” là đã tất tả đi mua dầu thơm, chạy
ra mộ để “ướp xác Chúa” (Mc 16,1). Thế mà, thật bàng hoàng, ngôi mộ trống hoang, xác Thầy đã biến đâu mất. Bà chỉ
còn biết khóc. Chỉ có động lực tình yêu mãnh liệt mới lý giải được những việc làm và tâm trạng của bà Maria trong lúc
này. Tình yêu Chúa đã giật bà ra khỏi bàn tay của “bảy quỉ” (Lc 8,2) và biến đổi bà khiến bà từ đấy chỉ sống vì tình yêu:
vì yêu, bà đã đi theo Thầy Giêsu trong suốt con đường khổ nạn cách kiên trung đến tận dưới chân thập giá; và cũng nhờ
tình yêu đó, bà đã được Chúa cho gặp Ngài ngay trong những giờ phút đầu tiên Ngài sống lại, và là người đầu tiên được
Chúa sai đi loan tin mừng Ngài đã phục sinh.
Người môn đệ đích thực của Chúa Kitô là người gắn bó với Ngài bằng một tình yêu nồng nàn và nhờ đó xác tín
chắc chắn rằng Ngài “đã chịu chết nhưng nay Ngài đang sống” (x. Cv 2,32; 25,19) như thế mới có đủ tư cách để làm
chứng cho người khác rằng: “Tôi đã thấy Chúa”.
Tôi cần làm gì để được Chúa biến đổi, trở nên người môn đệ đích thực của Ngài?
Tôi nên làm thế nào để cách sống, lời nói và việc làm của tôi nên chứng nhân về Chúa Kitô Phục Sinh?
Xin Ánh sáng Phục Sinh của Chúa bao phủ cuộc đời con và chiếu soi vào những chỗ tăm tối trong tâm hồn, để con được
biến đổi mỗi ngày. Amen.
Thông Báo của Trường Hoà Bình
Các em học sinh Trường Hoà Bình sẽ được nghỉ học Mừng Chúa Phục Sinh Chúa Nhật ngày 5 tháng 4 năm 2015 và sẽ
trở lại học ngày 12 tháng 5 năm 2015. Kính chúc quý Thầy Cô, qúy phụ huynh và toàn thể gia đình Một Mùa Phục Sinh
tràn đầy thánh ân Chúa.
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
El primer domingo de Pascua debió haber sido bien difícil para los
apóstoles que habían dedicado tres años de su vida para seguir al hombre
que creyeron era el Mesías, sólo para verlo crucificado y enterrado. Todo
parecía perdido. Obsesionados con los sucesos del Viernes Santo les era
bien dificultoso al comienzo entender el mensaje de la resurrección. Pero
sus ojos y sus corazones se abrieron cuando Jesús mencionó sus nombres,
comió con ellos y sopló sobre ellos el don de la paz. Desde ese momento recibieron poder y
fueron infundidos de valor y de un entusiasmo nuevo. Con el don del Espíritu Santo
comenzaron a ser potentes testigos del mensaje de esperanza y de la vida nueva. Al
regocijarnos en la gloria y el poder de la Resurrección llegamos a darnos cuenta de que la
victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte también puede ser nuestra. Vivamos este día
de Pascua con fe y convicción, y así llegaremos a participar por siempre de la plenitud de la

resurrección de Cristo.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura
— Pedro es un testigo: el Señor ha resucitado
(Hechos 10:34a, 37-43).
Salmo
— Este es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya
(Salmo 118 (117)).
(1) Segunda lectura — Todos los bautizados, eleven su corazón al cielo
(Colosenses 3:1-4).
(2) Segunda lectura — Cristo, nuestra Pascua, fue sacrificado; por tanto celebremos
(1 Corintios 5:6b-8).
Evangelio
— Tres testigos, María, Pedro y Juan; cada uno responde a la tumba vacía
(Juan 20:1-9)
o Mc 16:1-7 o (en misas de la tarde o la noche) Lc 24:13-35.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
A veces los cristianos preguntamos: ¿qué le pasó a Cristo, durante los tres días de
su muerte? La Iglesia de Asia Menor (la actual Turquía) respondió a esto decorando
sus templos con murales bizantinos mostrando escenas principales de la vida de Jesús
para instruir a los fieles. Una de estas escenas era la de Jesús entre los muertos. Según
los evangelios, a la muerte de Jesús muchas tumbas se abrieron y muchos cuerpos de
santos resucitaron (Mateo 27:52-53). El símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles declara que
Jesús descendió a los infiernos. Imágenes antiguas muestran a Jesucristo entrando triunfalmente al infierno,
rompiendo las cadenas de los ahí 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
