Third Sunday of Easter April 26, 2020
[ 2 ] SAINT CLARE of ASSISI PARISH
Welcome to the Third Sunday of Easter!
Can you believe we have not been with each other now for several weeks? As a deacon it was strange being at home watching the Easter Triduum from my home and not being there as I was for many years of my life.
Good Friday chanting, “ This is the Wood of the Cross”, as we processed to the front of the church then watching each and every one of you coming forward to kiss the cross. The Easter Vigil starting outside with a fire and lighting the new Christ Candle for the year. Then processing into the church chanting,“ The Light of Christ “.
Why do I recall these events? In today’s Gospel we hear or read of a journey two men were having on their way to a village called Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking about all the events that had taken place in the last couple of days. They were still stunned and grieving their friend and companion. They were overwhelmed with emotion as they had just witnessed the crucifixion, death and the resurrection of Jesus. Two walking together became suddenly, now three. They were unaware who was walking with them. They invited this stranger to eat with them and it was the simple act—their eyes were opened as to the identity of this stranger. The simple breaking and sharing the bread with one another. Their eyes and hearts were opened remembering the same event at the Last Supper. IT WAS JESUS! How could this be?
In these last several of weeks did you not recognize Jesus walking with you, keeping you safe? Or did you see Jesus in the televising of masses in our church or churches around the diocese. In a special way did you see Jesus in the occasional trips to the grocery store in the person down the aisle. Did you see Jesus in your family as they called to see if you were safe and in good health.
Responsorial Psalm, “Protect me, O God, you are my refuge.”
God Bless YOU! Stay safe with open eyes Jesus is walking with YOU!!!!!

Bienvenidos al Tercer Domingo de Pascua,
¿Puedes creer que no hemos estado juntos desde hace varias semanas? Como diácono, era extraño estar en casa viendo el Triduo Pascual desde mi casa y no estar allí como estuve durante muchos años de mi vida.
Viernes Santo cantando “Este es el bosque de la cruz” mientras nos dirigíamos al frente de la iglesia y luego veíamos a cada uno de ustedes acercarse a besar la cruz. La Vigilia Pascual comienza afuera con un fuego y enciende la nueva Vela de Cristo para el año. Luego procesando en la iglesia cantando, “La luz de Cristo.”
¿Por qué recuerdo estos eventos? En el Evangelio de hoy escuchamos o leemos un viaje que dos hombres iban camino a una aldea llamada Emaús, a siete millas de Jerusalén. Hablaban de todos los eventos que habían tenido lugar en los últimos días. Todavía estaban aturdidos y llorando a su amigo y compañero. Estaban abrumados por la emoción cuando acababan de presenciar la crucifixión, la muerte y la resurrección de Jesús. Dos caminando juntos se convirtieron de repente en tres. No sabían quién caminaba con ellos. Invitaron a este extraño a comer con ellos y fue el simple acto que les abrieron los ojos en cuanto a la identidad de este extraño. El simple partir y compartir el pan unos con otros. Sus ojos y corazones se abrieron recordando el mismo evento en la Última Cena. ¡ERA JESÚS! ¿Cómo podría ser esto?
En estas últimas semanas, ¿no reconociste a Jesús caminando contigo, manteniéndote a salvo? ¿O viste a Jesús en la televisión de misas en nuestra iglesia o iglesias alrededor de la diócesis? De una manera especial, ¿vio a Jesús en los viajes ocasionales a la tienda de comestibles en la persona al final del pasillo? ¿Viste a Jesús en tu familia cuando te llamaron para ver si estabas a salvo y con buena salud?
Salmo responsorial: “Protégeme, oh Dios, eres mi refugio”.
¡Dios te bendiga! Mantente a salvo con los ojos abiertos ¡Jesús camina contigo!

WEEK AT A GLANCE
USCCB Priority Resources as
Regards to COVID-19 Through the good leadership of our shepherds, the Church is experiencing the remarkable grace of spiritual closeness from a distance. To the extent you may find it helpful, the Conference has been collecting examples of how our community of faith has sought to remain with one another in prayer during these difficult times. You may find the list here: http://www.usccb.org/coronavirus In the days ahead, we will update this page as we find and you share additional resources. USCCB Public Affairs and Episcopal Resources teams are partnering also with the Office of Divine Worship, the Office of Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, and other Conference colleagues to develop new resources to help the faithful in our home prayer. These are being prepared for Catholic Current. Those resources are here: https://catholiccurrent.org/covid19/
