John Robert Skeldon There is a thread running through the three readings for this third Sunday of Easter: that of sin, or rather, the forgiveness of sin. Acts of the Apostles: “Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away.” 1st Letter of John: “…I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one. He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.” Gospel of Luke: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations….” The Easter message is about the triumph of life over death, light over darkness, truth over falsehood, relationship over loneliness, grace over sin. Sin is that which separates us from relationship with God and others. With Easter, that separation is forever bridged. May we continually approach the mercy of God which is Jesus Christ—the expiation for our sins. Christ is risen, alleluia! He is truly risen, alleluia! Reflexión Magnánima de Padre John Robert Skeldon Hay un hilo que une las tres lecturas de este tercer domingo de Pascua: el del pecado, o más bien, el perdón de los pecados. Hechos de los Apóstoles: "Arrepentíos, pues, y convertíos, para que vuestros pecados sean borrados." Primera carta de san Juan: "... Estoy escribiendo esto a ustedes para que no pequen. Pero si alguno peca, tenemos un abogado para con el Padre, a Jesucristo el justo. Él es víctima por el perdón de nuestros pecados, y no sólo nuestros pecados, sino por los de todo el mundo." Evangelio de Lucas: "Así está escrito que el Cristo padeciese, y resucitase de entre los muertos al tercer día y que el arrepentimiento y el perdón de los pecados, se predicara en su nombre a todas las naciones...". El mensaje de Pascua es el triunfo de la vida sobre la muerte, la luz sobre las tinieblas, la verdad sobre la mentira, la relación sobre la soledad, la gracia sobre el pecado. El pecado es lo que nos separa de la relación con Dios y los demás. La Pascua, es un puente que une esa separación para siempre. Podemos acercarnos continuamente a la misericordia de Dios que es Jesucristo, el perdón de nuestros pecados. ¡Cristo ha resucitado, aleluya! ¡Él verdaderamente ha resucitado, aleluya During this Easter Season let us remember those who have experienced the fullness of Christ’s Resurrection: Spanish Women’s Cursillo, May 14-17, 2015 Patricia Russo May 2014 Sammy Galindo July 2014 Enrique Garcia July 2014 Arturo Siller Aug 2014 Angelina Leone Oct 2014 John Puhger Nov 2014 Thesesa Zimmerman Dec 2014 Jose Cortes Jan 2015 Maria de Jesus Juarez Feb 2015 Eduardo Hernandez Feb 2015 Malachy Harvey Mar 2015 Socorro Garcia Mar 2015 Joe Sullivan April 2015 Men's Spring Cursillo: Thursday, April 30, 2015- Sunday May 3, 2015 Margaret McVay June 2014 Marisol Victor July 2014 John Sherlock July 2014 Stephanie Albers Aug 2014 Kevin Farley Oct 2014 Zelda Burden Dec 2014 Ruth Galvan Dec 2014 Betty Donahue Jan 2015 Rupert Potter Feb 2015 Suzan Cogswell Feb 2015 Reyes Loya Mar 2015 Fr.
