TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

O ur tradition has a way of honoring age-old customs, and is patient with how practices unfold in different places. The name of today’s

feast illustrates this well. English is a Germanic language, and our word “Easter,” or German “Oester,” points back to the pagan goddess Eoes-tre, the star of the vernal equinox feast. The Greek title “Pasch” reaches back in a more help-ful manner to the Hebrew “Pesach,” or “Passover.” “Paschal Triduum” may be slow to replace “Easter” in our vocabulary, but it is clear-er about the mystery we celebrate today, the culmination of three days laden with mystery and meaning. You can hear the older term, and the resistance to English influence, in the Irish “Casca” and Scottish “Pask.” Romance languages stay close to the deep paschal tradition, with the French “Pâques,” Spanish “Pascua” and Italian “Pasqua.” Memories of our pagan past with “Oester” will not soon fade away: even Japanese Christians are under her spell, for today’s feast is called “ I-suta.” Swahili, a young language, takes the more traditional route with “Pasaka.” Each language yields a rich insight into the feast. Spanish includes a sense that today is a “big Sunday” by adding the designation “Pascua” to the greatest feasts, such as “Pascua de la Na-tividad” (Christmas). Once Christ is risen, every step of life’s journey is illuminated by the light of the Pasch!— Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SEEKING

E aster Sunday is a day all about seeking. The early Christian commu-nities gathered around the Apostles, seeking more about the life

and ministry of the Lord Jesus. Saint Paul told the baptized Colossians to “seek what is above.” Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, seeking to find the Lord’s body so that she could anoint it. We come to church on Easter Sunday seeking many things. For some of us, this is a once‑a‑year journey, when we seek connection with the foundations of the Christian faith. For others, this day is the culmination of a long journey of Lenten repentance. For the newly baptized, this is the first day of a new life filled with promise and expectation. Whatever it is that we seek, let us be inspired by the disciple whom Jesus loved who, when he saw the wrappings of cloth inside the empty tomb, “saw and believed.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DIVINE MERCY

O ur Lord gave St. Faustina two important elements for the Divine Mercy Devotion: the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Novena to

The Divine Mercy. “In 1935 Sr. Faustina received a vision of an angel sent by God to chastise a certain city. At the same time she found her-

self saying these words: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.” Our Lord told Sr. Faustina that this prayer was to be called the “Chaplet,” and that the pray-er was not just for her, but for the whole world. He also attached extraordinary promises to its recitation: “Encourage souls to say the Chaplet which I have given you. Whoever will recite the Chaplet will receive great mercy at the hour of death. When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not just as the just Judge but as the Merciful Savior,” (The Divine Mercy Message, pgs. 56-57). Sr. Faustina was also told by Jesus to pray the “Chaplet” for nine days (Novena). It has become a tradition worldwide to pray the Novena of Divine Mercy every year, from Good Friday through the Saturday Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday. We will be praying this Novena from 3:00-3:30pm the Mon-day after Easter Sunday (April 6) through Saturday Vigil of Divine Mercy Sunday (April 11) inside the Church.

TRAINING SESSION WITH ARCHDIOCESE

T he California Catholic Conference, along with a broad coalition of physicians, nurses, disability

rights, and health care advocates is opposing SB 128, a bill in the California Senate that would legal-ize physician assisted suicide in California. Pope Francis reminds us, “The biblical commandment to hor-ror our parents reminds us in a broader sense of our duty to honor all elderly people”. Take action now to protect the elderly and those with disabilities. Join us in visiting our CA Senators to urge a NO vote on SB 128. Training for legislative visits will take place at Sacred Heart Parish located at 10800 Henderson Rd. Ventura 93004 on Saturday April 18th in Biederman Hall, Senior Center, at 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon. No Fee for the training. Come to hear Archdiocesan Trainers speak about the Physician Assisted Suicide bill SB 128.

REFLEXIÓN SOBRE LA PASCUA

C uando regocijamos en la resurrección de Jesús, también celebramos el don de Cristo de sí mis-

mo, que nos transforma y nos convierte en un don de sí mismo a los demás. Cuando esto sucede, somos re-novados por las bendiciones que la Pascua nos da. En este día, nos regocijamos en la conquista del pecado y de la muerte de Jesús y anticipamos la venida del Espíritu Santo el día de Pentecostés. Jesús sigue con nosotros a través de su Iglesia, el don permanente de su presencia divina. Nos alegramos de que nuestros tiempos difíciles y el dolor, como las de Jesús, serán supe-radas, y que seremos recompensa-dos algún día. Cada Pascua, por el poder de la gra-cia de Dios, dado por el Espíritu Santo, renovamos nuestro deseo de cultivar nuestro don de sí mismo. Nos comprometemos nuevamente a nuestro Señor re-sucitado en sus alegrías y sus sufrimientos, para que un día nos levantaremos y viviremos para siempre en su Reino, donde no existen dolor o tristeza, sólo el amor que todo lo abarca de Dios. A continuación va-mos a ver cómo la fe firme y constante amor y espe-ranza perdurable nos preparan para celebrar la vida eterna para siempre. —USCCB.org

BÚSQUEDA

E l Domingo de Pascua es un día para la búsque-da. Las primeras comunidades cristianas se

reunían alrededor de los apóstoles para conocer más sobre la vida y el ministerio del Señor Jesús. San Pa-blo les dijo a los colosenses bautizados que buscaran “las cosas de arriba”. María Mag-dalena fue a la tumba para encon-trar el cuerpo del Señor y ungirlo. Nosotros vamos a la iglesia el Do-mingo de Pascua buscando muchas cosas. Para algunos de nosotros, este es un trayecto anual cuando buscamos conectarnos con el funda-mento de la fe cristiana. Para otros, este día es la culminación de una larga trayectoria para el arre-pentimiento de la Cuaresma. Para los nuevos bauti-zados es el primer día de una nueva vida llena de promesas y expectativas. No importa lo que sea que busquemos, inspirémonos con la acción del discípulo amado de Jesús quien al ver el sudario dentro de la tumba “vio y creyó”.Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

A veces los cristianos preguntamos: ¿qué le pasó a Cristo, durante los tres días de su muerte? La

Iglesia de Asia Menor (la actual Turquía) respondió a esto decorando sus templos con murales bizantinos mostrando escenas principales de la vida de Jesús para instruir a los fieles. Una de estas escenas era la de Jesús entre los muer-tos. Según los evangelios, a la muerte de Jesús muchas tumbas se abrieron y muchos cuerpos de santos resucitaron (Mateo 27:52-53). El símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles declara que Jesús des-cendió a los infiernos. Imágenes anti-guas muestran a Jesucristo entrando triunfalmente al infierno, rompiendo las cadenas de los ahí presentes, tomándolos para llevárselos al cie-lo. El imaginario cristiano normalmente pinta a Jesús con Adán y Eva. Los toma no de las manos sino del pulso, simbolizando que los tiene bien agarrados y nadie, ni el mismo diablo, se los puede quitar. Jesús comparte con todos los difuntos la victoria de su resu-rrección.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A hora los feligreses de Santa Clara pueden com-prar dispositivos de asistencia auditiva que son

NOVENA DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA

E l Viernes Santo del año 1937, Jesús le pidió a Santa Faustina que rezara una novena especial

antes de la Fiesta de la Misericordia, desde el Viernes Santo. Él mismo le dictó las intenciones para cada día. Por medio de una oración específica, ella traería a su Corazón a diferentes grupos de almas cada día y las sumergiría en el mar de su misericordia. Entonces, suplicaría al Pa-dre, por el poder de la Pasión de Jesús, que les concediera gracias a estas almas. En preparación para la celebración de la Divina
