3 A message from Fr. Tony REDEMPTION Do you remember Peter on the night Jesus was arrested? He claimed he had never heard of Jesus. Today we are called to join Peter in testifying to the name of Jesus as he does in the first reading, and in proclaiming our love for him as Peter does in the Gospel passage. The powerful imagery of John s vision in the second reading from the book of Revelation shows us the company we keep when we have faith in the name of Jesus. We join all living creatures, countless in number from heaven, earth, under the earth, in the sea; everything in the universe (Revelation 5:11, 13). The dignity and majesty described in each reading are in stark contrast to the dark and pitiful image of Peter and the other apostles at the time of Jesus arrest, trial, and crucifixion. What a relief that we can all be redeemed so completely! Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony REDIMIDOS Recuerdas a Pedro la noche que arrestaron a Jesús? Insistía en que nunca había oído de Jesús. Hoy estamos llamados a unirnos a Pedro en dar testimonio del nombre de Jesús como lo hace en la primera lectura, y a proclamar nuestro amor a él tal como lo hace Pedro en el pasaje del Evangelio. La poderosa imagen de la visión de san Juan en la segunda lectura del libro del Apocalipsis nos enseña la comunidad a la que pertenecemos cuando tenemos fe en el nombre de Jesús. Nos unimos a todos los seres vivientes miles y millones en el cielo, sobre la tierra, debajo de ella y en el mar, y todo lo que hay en ellos (Apocalipsis 5:11, 13). La majestad y dignidad expresadas en cada lectura están en profundo contraste con la oscura y miserable imagen de Pedro y los otros apóstoles en los momentos en que Jesús era arrestado, juzgado y crucificado. Qué alivio que todos podemos ser tan totalmente redimidos! Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. All High School-aged youth (15 18) are invited to the Jubilee Year of Mercy Celebration on Sunday, April 24 at the 5:00 pm Mass at San Fernando Cathedral. Fr. Jonathan Felux has been designated to celebrate this Mass. Immediately following the Jubilee Celebration Mass, Fr. Jonathan will invite those present to accompany him in crossing the threshold of the Holy Door at the Cathedral.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION From the earliest centuries, we know that some Chris an women desired to vow themselves to a celibate life to pray and serve. Some, but by no means everyone, wanted a kind of monas c life. Others wanted to stay in the family home. By the fourth century, the church was celebra ng the Consecra on of Virgins, a rite performed by the bishop, and involving a veiling of the woman. It was looked upon as a form of marriage with Christ, partly because in the culture of the day a woman s status in society was linked to a man. The prayers and ritual for the consecra on of virgins were exactly the same as the prayers and ritual for the consecra on of a bride on her wedding day. The public character of the rite gave the bishop the opportunity to commend the virgin to the faithful, and to threaten with punishment anyone who tried to turn her from her commitment. Eventually, the rite fell into disuse for women living in the world, and was reserved for nuns. The Second Va can Council directed that it be revived and restored, and in nearly every diocese, single women have embraced this form of consecrated life. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. The Altar & Rosary Society will be having a mee ng on Sunday, April 17th at 9:30am.
