3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 3 Dear brothers and sisters: As we celebrate the mystery of the Resurrection of our Lord, we must resolve to do in our lives what we see was done by Mary Magdalene and the other Mary when the Risen Christ met them on their way. We read in the Gospel that these holy women, approached Him, embraced His feet, and adored Him. Three very simple actions that must be practiced by all baptized. These actions should become the summary of our lives on earth. - First to approach Him. To come near to the risen Lord. The souls of sinners should not receive the grace of God in vain. But should work to live constantly close to the Lord. To come up to Him in order to know Him better and to love Him more. For example through the life of prayer we come closer to Him. The soul that would live close to Jesus, is he who spends much time in prayer. During Easter we see how light overcomes darkness. This is what happens when we come closer to Jesus. Darkness is defeated. The more we approach the sun the more the darkness is overcome. The closer we get to Jesus the clearer we will see things. Come to Him and be enlightened. (Ps. 33, 6). How important it is to come to Him! How many souls, even many who are baptized, remain far from Christ! And they live a very sad life, only because of an unwillingness to take the first step. To come to Him. - Second, they took hold of His feet. We see that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary embraced our Lord s feet. This means that we not only approach the Risen Christ but we adhere strongly to Him. They took hold of His feet. In the book of Deuteronomy, we read: those who approach to His feet, shall receive of His doctrine (Deut. 33:3). We need to think about this, they were hugging the feet of our Risen Lord. As if they were taking possession of Him. In fact, this is one of the senses of the Greek word that the evangelist uses in this passage. The verb means to hold someone fast so that the person cannot go away. It is beautiful to imagine the joy, consolation, strength, which that embrace brought to them. And it is impossible to imagine how much joy, consolation and strength we can get only if we come to Him and we take firm hold of the Lord in our lives. We must know that when we take firm hold of Christ, no one on earth has any power over us. This is why, Saint Paul was so insistent when he said to the Ephesians: be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. These Holy women were experiencing firsthand the amazing power of the Resurrection and the life. On this night, we too can see with the eyes of faith His might, His power over death. - Finally, they adored Him: These women came to Him, took hold of His feet and adored Him. They adored Him they acknowledged Him to be God. Just as we pray in the psalm: We will adore in the place where His feet stood (Ps. 131, 7) May the joy of the Resurrection fill your lives with faith, hope and love. Fr. Javier Ibarra IVE Buela Youth Orchestra and Minor Seminary Events Sunday, April 8, Divine Mercy Sunday, The Buela Youth Orchestra and The Minor Seminary will play for the Mass at 9:30 am.

Pot luck to follow. PHÚC ÂM: Ga 20, 1-9 "Người phải sống lại từ cõi chết". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Ngày đầu tuần, Maria Mađalêna đi ra mồ từ sáng sớm khi trời còn tối và bà thấy tảng đá đã được lăn ra khỏi mồ, bà liền chạy về tìm Simon-Phêrô và người môn đệ kia được Chúa Giêsu yêu mến, bà nói với các ông rằng: "Người ta đã lấy xác Thầy khỏi mồ, và chúng tôi không biết người ta đã để Thầy ở đâu". Phêrô và môn đệ kia ra đi đến mồ. Cả hai cùng chạy, nhưng môn đệ kia chạy nhanh hơn Phêrô, và đến mồ trước. Ông cúi mình xuống thấy những khăn liệm để đó, nhưng ông không vào trong. Vậy Simon-Phêrô theo sau cũng tới nơi, ông vào trong mồ và thấy những dây băng nhỏ để đó, và khăn liệm che đầu Người trước đây, khăn này không để lẫn với dây băng, nhưng cuộn lại để riêng một chỗ. Bấy giờ môn đệ kia mới vào, dù ông đã tới mồ trước. Ông thấy và ông tin, vì chưng các ông còn chưa hiểu rằng, theo Kinh Thánh, thì Người phải sống lại từ cõi chết. Offices Closed Monday, April 2nd (Easter Monday) the Parish Offices will be closed. Thank You.

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, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. 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? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
