3 Apr 1, Page 3 FATHER ANTHONY S FAITH FORMATION CORNER Happy Easter/Passover Sunday And so the lengthy Lenten season is finally over, as we transition into the new liturgical season of Easter. I hope that most of us did not just view Lent as a liturgical boredom, but that we actually had a chance to renew ourselves spiritually. And if you decided to give up certain things for Lent, like sweets and candies and the like, I guess it is now a good time to double the amount! Well, Easter is indeed the most important liturgical celebration in our Christian faith, as we hold the memory of the Lord s Passover very dear in our hearts. In an earlier reflection, I mentioned that the English term that describes this important season, EASTER, is quite defective. In the Romance languages, the term actually has a much more meaningful (and more biblical, I must add) connotation: Passover. But for our purpose, we just have to use the term EASTER. Anyway, what is the meaning of the Easter story? Among other things, it is a story of new life. It is about a man condemned as a criminal, abandoned by his disciples and friends who suffered a defamatory death on the cross. And yet, after a few days, he rose again from the dead. By his resurrection, his followers, who previously had lost all hope, suddenly were able to find new life and a fresh beginning. I believe we can very well relate to this story because sometimes in life, we all stand in need of new life and a new beginning My weekly bulletin reflections are mostly theological/biblical. However, for this Easter Sunday I would like to reflect on my personal experience. About two years ago in the spring of 2016, my time at St. Angela Merici Church (Brea) was coming to an end. My first parish assignment as a newly ordained minister was St. John Neumann in Irvine: a very wonderful experience which I still treasure this very day. St. Angela was my second parish assignment not without its ups and downs. In July 2016, I left St. Angela and began my new ministry at our St. Barbara parish with mixed feelings. But I did realize back then that I was in need of a new beginning. And St. Barbara did definitely provide me that fresh air. I am greatly indebted to the parish for that, although I have not been very explicit about it in my preaching Anyway, that is an example of how one may experience an Easter moment. What is your Easter story? As mentioned above, we all need a new beginning. By his resurrection from the dead, the Lord Jesus has given hope to a fallen humanity. By his victory over death, Jesus has not only given us new life, but more importantly, eternal life. May the peace of the risen Lord scatter the darkness of your hearts and bring you his very life! Happy Easter. Alleluia. Alleluia.

Lord Jesus Christ, Redeemer of the world, you have shouldered the burden of our weakness and borne our sufferings in your own passion and death. Hear this prayer for our sick brothers and sister whom you have redeemed. Strengthen their hope of salvation and sustain them in body and soul, for you live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

God, our shelter and our strength, you listen in love to the cry of your people: hear the prayers we offer for our departed brothers and sisters.

5 Apr 1, Page 5 COÄNG ÑOAØN THAÙNH GIUSE ALLELLUIA ALLELLUIA ALLELLUIA!! Thay mặt Ban Thường Vụ, chúng con kính chúc: Cha Chánh Xứ Giuse Phạm Ngọc Tuấn, Cha Joseph Nguyễn Thái, Cha Anthony Vũ Tận Hiến, Quí Thầy Phó Tế, Quí Tu Sĩ Nam Nữ, Quí Hội Đoàn, Ban Ngành, Quí Cụ, Quí Ân Nhân, các cơ sở thương mại và toàn thể Cộng Đoàn Dân Chúa một Lễ Phục Sinh được nhiều sức khỏe, bình an, hạnh phúc, và tràn đầy ân sủng của Chúa Kito Phục Sinh. HAPPY EASTER! TM/BTVCĐ Tom Tuệ Trần - Chủ Tịch Thay mặt cho Ban Thường Vụ Cộng Đoàn Thánh Giuse, Giáo Xứ Saint Barbara, chúng tôi chân thành cảm ơn: - Ban Khánh Tiết - Đoàn Liên Minh Thánh Tâm - Ban Hướng Dẫn Trật Tự - Knight of Columbus - Và Quí thiện nguyện viên Đã hy sinh thời giờ và công sức tới giúp làm vườn Giệtsimali và đồi Canvê cho Giáo Xứ. Nguyện xin Chúa là Cha nhân từ đấng thấu xuất mọi sự trả công, chúc lành cho Quí Vị và Gia Đình. TM/BTVCĐ Trần Văn Tuệ Phúc Âm: Ga 20, 1-9 Người phải sống lại từ cõi chết". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Suy Niệm: Sự chết và Phục Sinh của Ðức Giêsu đều nằm trong kế hoạch cứu độ của Thiên Chúa. Kinh Thánh đã tiên báo về Ngài. Ðức Giêsu chết để nhân loại chôn vùi tội lỗi cùng với cái chết của Ngài. Ðức Giêsu Phục Sinh để sự sống Thần Linh của Ðức Giêsu sống động trong tâm hồn mọi người. Ðức Giêsu Phục Sinh đã tái lập sự sống mới trên trần gian. Sự sống mới là sự sống chan hòa yêu thương. Vì tình yêu đã chiến thắng hận thù. Sự đen tối của màn đêm phải lui xa, nhường lại thế giới cho ánh bình minh tươi sáng. Khởi đầu một ngày mới, một trời mới đất mới xuất hiện. Trong niềm hân hoan chúng ta reo vui. Alleluia. Cầu Nguyện: Lạy Ðấng Phục Sinh, xin đem niềm vui đến trong tâm hồn chúng con. Chúa đã chết để đem sự sống mới cho chúng con. Xin đừng để chúng con mải mê ngủ vùi trong tội lỗi, nhưng biết vùng dậy để đón mừng Mặt Trời Công Chính tươi sáng chiếu rọi vào tâm hồn chúng con. Cùng với Ðức Giêsu Phục Sinh, chúng con reo vui cuộc chiến thắng khải hoàn. Amen. Alleluia. Đại Lễ Phục Sinh - Mừng Chúa Sống Lại Này ta đổi mới mọi sự Hôm nay là ngày đầu tiên của một tạo thành khác. Thiên Chúa dựng nên "một tròi mói và một đất mới". Hôm nay, con người đích thực, con người "giống hình ảnh Chúa" được tạo dựng. Hãy nhìn xem hôm nay, ngày mà "Chúa đã làm ra", thế giới nào đã được khai sinh. Hôm nay, cơn đau tử thần đã bị dẹp bỏ, và "trưởng tử của mọi loài thụ tạo" đã chào đời. Hôm nay ngục tử thần đã bị hủy diệt, người mù nhìn thấy ánh sáng, "ngôi sao từ trời xuất hiện và đến cứu giúp những ai ngồi trong đêm đen cùng bóng tối sự chết". Nào nhanh chân lên, cả chúng ta nữa, -chạy đến mà chiêm ngắm cảnh tượng phi thường này, kẻo bị các phụ nữ bỏ lại phía sau. Nhớ cầm trong tay hương liệu là niềm tin và lương tâm ý thức, bởi đó là "hương thơm của Đức Kitô". Đừng tìm Đấng Đang Sống nơi kẻ chết nữa.

6 Apr 1, Page 6 COMUNIDAD HISPANA LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura -- Pedro es un testigo: el Señor ha resucitado (Hechos 10:34a, 37-43). Salmo -- Este es el día en que actuó el Señor: sea nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo (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: PROCLAMA AL CRISTO RESUCITADO En la mañana de Pascua el clima primaveral, las flores, los pájaros y las mariposas, las personas que nos rodean con sus mejores galas, la hermosa liturgia y la agradable música, todo parece dar testimonio de que Jesucristo ha resucitado hoy. De la misma manera que los relatos de los testigos en la lectura de hoy, la vida gloriosa y gozosa que nos rodea nos ayuda a creer en la buena nueva de la Resurrección y exclamar " Aleluya!" Hoy en la Sagrada Escritura escuchamos a Pedro, a Pablo y a Juan quienes hablan con convicción de haber visto al Cristo resucitado. El relato del Evangelio según san Juan incluye a María Magdalena, quien también tuvo el privilegio de ser testigo de la Resurrección y contarles a los demás la buena nueva. En este glorioso Domingo de Pascua, podemos nosotros también dar testimonio de que Jesucristo ha resucitado hoy y está vivo y activo en nuestra vida?

La Pascua Judía celebra la libertad del cautiverio de Egipto. El cristianismo, siendo en su origen una secta judía, tomo la fiesta de la Pascua para celebrar la muerte y resurrección de Jesús quien nos da la libertad del cautiverio pecaminoso de nuestras vidas. Eventualmente el uso de "Pascua" pasó a indicar cualquier evento en la vida de Jesús que añade a la libertad que nos obtuvo en su vida, cruz y resurrección. He aquí porque tradicionalmente se hablaba de la Pascua del Nacimiento, la Pascua Florida o Pascua de Resurrección y la Pascua del Espíritu Santo (Pentecostés) y todavía en grandes fiestas religiosas del año la gente se saluda con "Felices pascuas". En EE. UU., Argentina y otros países se celebra la Pascua (Easter en inglés) con la búsqueda de huevos multicolores y supuestamente traídos por una coneja. Easter era una diosa teutónica cuyos símbolos eran el huevo y la coneja, símbolos de vida y fertilidad que pasaron a representar la nueva vida que se nos da al ser liberados del pecado por la Pascua de Jesús. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM
