My dear friends in Christ, Today and the next fifty days we Christians are celebrating the feast of rebirth and renewal. We say it, we sing it, and we live it.

3 My dear friends in Christ, Today and the next fifty days we Christians are celebrating the feast of rebirth and renewal. We say it, we sing it, and we live it. We can distinguish rebirth between the seasons: from spring to summer, from autumn to winter. We know when winter ends, and the life of nature, dead for many months, re-asserts itself in spring: brown turns to green, gray to blue, and darkness into light. In a personal way, we, too, experience rebirth: we arise from sleep (most days) refreshed; we get over most of our illnesses, and experience the rebirth of physical health; we come alive again after anguish and grief. The resurrection of Jesus confirms our hope that we can start again, afresh, to renew and rekindle the flame of faith we received on the day of our baptism. We are able to share this renewal with our candidates and catechumens who will be received and baptized at the Easter Vigil. May the fresh beginning we celebrate during the Easter season bring light, happiness and peace to our lives. Fr. Jay Matthews 3

Toni Daste-Wilson John Tatmon Fr. Seamus Genovese Cynthia Triunfo-Galicia Bernard Flammang Ignacia Muñoz Edward Horciza Mildred McBee Pippo Valera Demetria Reyes Hanh Van Le Margaret Mead Anthony Cruz Benjamin Pereda Thai Nguyen Erika Legaspi 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! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. 7
