Dear Parishioners, The Paschal mystery is at the very heart o f our Christian faith. The word scripture and the life of Jesus on earth culminate in this unique event. Indeed, every Eucharist is a memorial of Christ s Death and Resurrection. Yet once each year the Church sets aside an entire week to commemorate the astonishing realities of that first Holy Week. May your loving participation in the week s liturgy enable you to live more deeply the Life emptied on Calvary and risen on Easter Sunday. The growth of Christ s Life in His people is the vital element in His Father s design. May the peace and joy of the Lord s Easter Life be with you and yours forever. Sincerely in Christ, Rev.

April 21, 2019 Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Psalm 118 Colossians 3:1-4 or 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8 John 20:1-9 or Luke 24:1-12 (#41C) or in the afternoon, Luke 24:13-35 (#46) Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word Today we hear the joyous news from Saints Peter, Paul, and John, each of them attesting to the Easter event. Saint Peter, speaking to a group of non- Christians, testifies to Christ s life, death, and resurrection. Saint Paul writes to the Colossians and the Corinthians about what they should do in the light of Jesus resurrection. Saint John, in writing the Gospel, tells of the first disciples finding the empty tomb on Sunday morning. As we listen, may we sense the joy and wonder of these first witnesses. Liturgy for Second Sunday of Easter Or Sunday of Divine Mercy April 28, 2019 Acts 5:12-16 Psalm 118 Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19 John 20:19-31 2018, World Library Publications 21 de abril de 2019 Domingo de Pascua Hechos 10:34a, 37-43 Salmo 118 Colosenses 3:1-4 ó 1 Corintios 5:6b-8 Juan 20:1-9 Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra Hoy escuchamos las noticias alegres de san Pedro, san Pablo y san Juan, que atestiguan sobre el acontecimiento Pascual. San Pedro se dirige a un grupo no cristiano y da testimonio de la vida, muerte y resurrección de Cristo. San Pablo le escribe a los colosenses y a los corintios acerca de lo que deben hacer a la luz de la resurrección de Jesús. San Juan en el Evangelio habla sore cómo los primeros discípulos encontraron el sepulcro vacío la mañana del domingo. Al escuchar las lecturas tratemos de sentir el júbilo de estos primeros discípulos y los maravillados que estaban.
