Domingo de Pascua Easter Sunday April 12th, 2020

The Easter Vigil is the "Mother of All Vigils." Easter Sunday, then, is the greatest of all Sundays, and Easter Time is the most important

of all liturgical times. Easter is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascension to the Father and

sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost. It is characterized, above all,

by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death, expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia! All

faith flows from faith in the resurrection: "If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor.

15:14). "What you sow is not brought to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel of wheat,

perhaps, or of some other kind;…So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incorruptible. It is sown dis-

honorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a

natural body, there is also a spiritual one. So, too, it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living being," the last Adam a life-giving

spirit. But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man,

from heaven. As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly. Just as we have borne

the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one (1 Cor. 15:36-37, 42-49). The octave of Easter comprises

the eight days which stretch from the first to the second Sunday. It is a way of prolonging the joy of the initial day. In a sense, every day

of the Octave is like a little Sunday. The word "Easter" comes from Old English, meaning simply the "East." The sun which rises in the

East, bringing light, warmth and hope, is a symbol for the Christian of the rising Christ, who is the true Light of the world. The Paschal

Candle is a central symbol of this divine light, which is Christ. It is kept near the ambo throughout Easter Time, and lit for all liturgical

celebrations.

Liturgical Notes for Easter

From Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar:

22. The fifty days from the Sunday of the Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one feast day, indeed

as one "great Sunday." These are the days above all others in which the Alleluia is sung.

23. The Sundays of this time of year are considered to be Sundays of Easter and are called, after Easter Sunday itself, the Second, Third,

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Sundays of Easter. This sacred period of fifty days concludes with Pentecost Sunday.

24. The first eight days of Easter Time constitute the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the Lord.

25. On the fortieth day after Easter the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated, except where, not being observed as a Holyday of Obligation,

it has been assigned to the Seventh Sunday of Easter (cf. no. 7).

26. The weekdays from the Ascension up to and including the Saturday before Pentecost prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the

Paraclete.

The liturgical color for Easter is white. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (no. 346) also states: "On more solemn days, fes-

tive, that is, more precious, sacred vestments may be used even if not of the color of the day. The colors gold or silver may be worn on

more solemn occasions in the Dioceses of the United States of America."

Especially during Easter Time, instead of the customary Penitential Act, the blessing and sprinkling of water may take place as a remind-

er of Baptism.

There are six metropolitan sees and their suffragan Dioceses which maintain the Solemnity of the Ascension on Thursday: Boston, Hart-

ford, Newark, New York, Omaha, and Philadelphia. Every other region of the United States has opted to transfer the Solemnity to the

following Sunday (the Seventh Sunday of Easter).

Tithing /

Diezmo Tithing has been a integral part of how we give ourselves back to God since the beginning of recorded history. Scripture

speaks about Cain and Abel bringing offerings to the Lord of the fruits of their respective labor. We do this by offering our

tithings along with our time and talents. However, during this time of absence from many of our sacraments, we must re-

main vigilant to our responsibilities to our Lord. Here are a few of ways to continue your tithing during this time.

Vamos a proveer tres (3) maneras para dar su diezmo a nuestra iglesia querida durante este tiempo raro.

Online Giving Today, many people take care of their bills online due to it’s convenient nature. However, this is also an ideal way to take

care of your tithing as well. By giving online, it ensures that your “first fruits” are exactly that! Simply visit our church

website, sacredheartclovis.com, and click on “Give”. Fill out the information and just like that, your tithing is done quickly,

securely and efficiently from the comfort of your own home. Definitely consider online giving.

Devotional Candle Offering Box You are also welcomed to drop off your tithe into our devotional candle offering boxes located by the votive candle racks on

the East and West sides of our church. Please ensure that you label your tithing as such prior to placing them into the boxes.

We must still be able to distinguish which donations are for the candles and which are for tithing. The boxes will be

checked daily so this is a safe and secure alternative.

Prayer Warriors!

If you or someone you know

is in need of prayer, please

contact Mary Shockley (575)

799-6402. She will place that

individual that is in need of prayer into a circle of

prayer. Parishioners of Sacred Heart Church will then

pray for those individuals to Almighty God. This is a

wonderful ministry and privilege for us to be able to

pray for you.

Signing in to FORMED is easier than ever! Visit

formed.org and sign in using our zip code, 88101. This is

In an effort to better communicate with and

reach our parishioners, we recently began

using a wonderful application known as

flocknote. Flocknote allows our Pastor

and various ministry leaders to communi-

cate with their respective ministry members

and all parishioners alike via email and/or

text using the flocknote application.

You can access flocknote at

sacredheartclovis.flocknote.com and up-

date your contact information. We also

developed sub-groups broken down into

ministries so those involved in their respec-

tive ministries can communicate more

efficiently. Also, if you are interested in

joining a ministry, simply send a text or

email to that individual in charge and see

what you have to do to join that ministry.

If you have any questions regarding flock-

note and how to get started, call the

church office at (575)763-6947 or email

at office.sacredheartclovis.com. We look

forward to making flocknote an integral

part of communicating and operating on a

more efficient level as a parish communi-

ty. God bless you all and enjoy your

Easter!

Ideas para celebrar la fe en familia alrededor del Calendario Litúrgico De familiacatolica.org

¿Por qué es importante el tiempo de Pascua?

Después de la Cuaresma y el Triduo Pascual, estamos listos para celebrar la victoria de nuestro Señor Jesús sobre la muerte, listos pa-

ra celebrar su Resurrección durante cincuenta días. Asistir a la Misa del domingo de Resurrección, listos para comulgar, debe ser nuestra

prioridad. El Papa León I llamó a la Pascua, la fiesta mayor o festum festorum. Nuestra familia, como Iglesia Doméstica, debe reflejar

el espíritu de la Pascua, ¡el espíritu de la alegría y la victoria de Jesús nuestro Señor!

¿Cómo vivir la Pascua?

Hay muchas formas prácticas de festejar el “Domingo de Pascua”, la más importante de ellas es buscar confesarnos días antes para estar

en gracia y recibir así, de la mejor manera a Jesús en su sacramento de amor. También es importante leer el Evangelio del domingo en

familia para preparar mejor nuestro corazón para la Santa Misa.

Otras formas, más prácticas, pueden ser:

- decorar nuestra casa con flores, letreros de Pascua, etc.

- decirnos mutuamente “Felices Pascuas”,

- hacer una comida especial,

- escuchar música católica que sea alegre,

- cantar canciones de gozo o que incluyan la palabra “Aleluya”,

- reunirte con otras familias,

- vestir la mejor ropa,

- ver una película de la vida de Jesús que termine con su resurrección,

- hacer alguna manualidad de pascua con tus hijos,

- hacer huevos de Pascua, etc.

Asegúrate de tener una celebración muy, muy especial con tu familia... si celebramos el Nacimiento de Jesucristo en Navidad, que signi-

fica el principio de su visita a nuestras vidas, ¡con mayor razón debemos celebrar su gloriosa Resurrección que nos abre las puertas del

cielo!

La Pascua un reto similar a la Navidad; muchos católicos lo celebran sólo por un día. Nuestros hermanos protestantes celebran solamente

el domingo de resurrección; ¡los católicos tenemos todo el derecho y razón de celebrar la Pascua durante 50 días! Durante todo este tiem-

po, los sacerdotes se visten de blanco (a excepción de cuando celebramos a algún santo mártir) para recordarnos el tiempo litúrgico que

estamos viviendo. ¿Cómo podemos nosotros vivirlo también en nuestra familia? Sabemos que no es sencillo, pero sí creemos que es

posible. Lo que tenemos que hacer es tener un plan de Pascua y decorar nuestra casa como recordatorio del tiempo que estamos vivien-

do, así como lo hacemos para Adviento y Cuaresma. Más adelante verás las fotos de cómo nos quedó nuestra casa para Pascua.
