Dear Parishioners,
This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad! On this Easter day, we have reason to
rejoice. We remember in a special way the great mystery of Christ’s triumph over death. The Risen One
comes to each of us saying: “Peace! I am with you now and forever.” Today, we celebrate in a special
way what we remember each Sunday as we gather for Eucharist. The Lord is in our midst as a saving,
life-giving presence. All of our Sundays during the year are reflected in the light of this Easter Sunday.
But, Easter is not just a day. It is not simply an ‘event’. It is a season of fifty days. This Easter “seasoning”
gives us the opportunity to savor the rich experience of the paschal feast, tasting and seeing the goodness
of God, revealed in Christ’s dying and rising. This Easter season is filled with stories and symbols that
speak of new light and new life. Can we open our ears and our eyes to let the Risen One come again into
our lives, offering us the promise of peace, joy and love?
May this Easter Season be filled with encounters with the Risen Lord who will open our eyes to the
wonders that our gracious God has done for us!
Fr. Bob

Queridos Parroquianos,
¡Éste es el día en que actuó el Señor: sean nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo¡ Este día Pascual nos da muchas
razones para regocijarnos. Recordamos de una manera muy especial el gran misterio del triunfo de
Cristo sobre la muerte. El Resucitado viene a cada uno de nosotros diciendo “La paz esté con ustedes.
Estoy con ustedes ahora y para siempre.” Hoy celebramos la esencia de la Eucaristía, aquello que nos
reúne cada semana: que el Señor está entre nosotros para salvar y darnos la vida. Cada domingo del año
comparte la luz de este domingo Pascual.
Pero la Pascua no dura sólo un día. La Pascua dura 50 días. En verdad es una temporada que la Iglesia
nos da para entrar más profundamente en la alegría que el Cristo Resucitado nos ha ofrecido. Nos da la
oportunidad de gustar y ver la bondad del Señor que quiere que experimentemos su amor eterno por el
amor sacrificial de su Hijo, Jesucristo. Durante esta temporada Pascual escucharemos las historias que
nos cuentan de los primeros discípulos que se encontraron al Cristo Resucitado en el cenáculo, en el
camino a Emaús, en la playa del lago de Galilea, en el jardín donde se colocó la tumba donde sepultaron
a Jesús. Como aquellos discípulos, tendremos la oportunidad de ver y oír a Jesucristo. ¿Estamos
dispuestos a verlo con ojos abiertos y oírlo con oídos abiertos? ¿Dejaremos recibir en nosotros su
promesa de la paz, la alegría y del amor eterno?
Les deseo que tengan una temporada Pascual llena de toda la alegría y de todas las bendiciones de
nuestro Señor, el Resucitado.
En el amor de Cristo,
Padre Bob
