From the Desk of Father Jonathan
Happy Easter! Jesus has risen from the dead and has given us, in his resurrection, the ultimate evidence that God has conquered sin and death forever!!
You all have inspired me so much this Lent. I have been moved by how many of you have shared with me your Lenten commitments. In fact, after the first week of Lent, having heard so many of your commitments, I had to re-evaluate my own Lenten commitments and step up my plans in order to meet the standard that many of you set.
I generally don’t share publicly what I do for Lent so as to keep it between me and the Lord, but I can tell you that some of you encouraged me, by your personal ex-ample, to focus my Lenten commitments on doing good for people rather than on simply giving up things. This wasn’t easy for me. When I give something up my Lent can still be mostly about me and my spiritual growth. Since you helped me to focus my love for God on loving others I had to leave myself and my spiritual goals on the side.
This new focus on others made for a great Lent! I am so grateful to God for his resurrection and his new man-date to us to repent and live for him and for others.
If Christ has risen from the dead—something no human can do on his own power—then his message to us of repentance and salvation is true.
This resurrection invites me to say over and over again a prayer that my dad taught me as a kid, the “Jesus Prayer”. “Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, have mercy on me, a sinner”.
And this is exactly what Jesus does; he has mercy on us, he forgives us, and never tires of forgiving us.
Thank you for being such wonderful examples to me of Christian living. Thank you for teaching me, your shep-herd in this parish, how to be a better follower of Jesus, the only truly Good Shepherd, who laid down his life so that we could live forever!
Happy Easter!! Father Jonathan
+ REST IN PEACE + Please pray for all the faithful departed

PROCLAIM THE RISEN CHRIST On Easter morning everything—the spring weather, the flowers, birds and butterflies, the people around us in their finery, the beautiful liturgy and music—everything seems to bear witness that Jesus Christ is risen today! Like the eyewitness accounts in today’s scriptures, the glorious and joyful life all around us helps us to believe the good news of the Resurrection and sing “Alleluia!” In the scriptures today we hear from Peter and Paul and John. All three speak with conviction about witnessing the resurrected Christ. John’s Gospel account includes Mary of Magdala, who also was privileged to witness the Resurrection and tell others the good news. On this glorious Easter Sunday can we ourselves give eyewitness accounts that Jesus Christ is risen today, alive and active in our lives?

PROCLAMI IL CRISTO RISORTO
Che cos’è che fa correre l’apostolo Giovanni al sepolcro? Egli ha vissuto per intero il dramma della Pasqua, essendo molto vicino al suo maestro. Ci sembra perciò inammissibile un’affermazione del genere: “Non avevano infatti ancora compreso la Scrittura”. Eppure era proprio così: non meravigliamoci allora di constatare l’ignoranza attuale, per molti versi simile. Il mondo di Dio, i progetti di Dio sono così diversi che ancor oggi succede che anche chi è più vicino a Dio non capisca e si stupisca degli avvenimenti. “Vide e credette”. Bastava un sepolcro vuoto perché tutto si risolvesse? Credo che non fu così facile. Anche nel momento delle sofferenze più dure, Giovanni rimane vicino al suo maestro. La ragione non comprende, ma l’amore aiuta il cuore ad aprirsi e a vedere. È l’intuizione dell’amore che permette a Giovanni di vedere e di credere prima di tutti gli altri. La gioia di Pasqua matura solo sul terreno di un amore fedele. Un’amicizia che niente e nessuno potrebbe spezzare. È possibile? Io credo che la vita ci abbia insegnato che soltanto Dio può procurarci ciò. È la testimonianza che ci danno tutti i gulag dell’Europa dell’Est e che riecheggia nella gioia pasquale alla fine
del nostro millennio. © lachiesa.it
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Paschal Mystery is the key to our Christian faith: the dying and rising of Jesus that is the pattern of our life. In their first steps on the road of faith, the cate-chumens feel the cross of glory traced over their eyes, on their lips, across their shoulders, on their ears, over their heart, and on their feet. The mystery is that even death gives way to life for those who are held in the em-brace of Jesus. Today, many new Christians arise from the waters of the font. Yet the font is not the destination of their journey. The goal is Pentecost, fifty days from now, and a lifetime of praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the world. “Neophyte,” our ancient word for newly-baptized peo-ple, means “newly-planted” in Greek. If someone in your parish has just been baptized, welcome them today. The smiles on their faces and the light in the eyes is a foretaste of heaven.

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?

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Pascua viene de una palabra hebrea pesah que quiere decir “lugar de pastos” e indica el final de un periodo de ayuno. 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 li-bertad que nos obtuvo en su vida, cruz y resurrección. He aquí porque tradicionalmente se hablaba de la Pas-cua del Nacimiento, la Pascua Florida o Pascua de Re-surrección 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.
