Message from Father Robert:

A couple weeks ago I went into the “Catacombs” of the Scala Sancta just to inspect the area. When I went in I was surprised how many statues were damaged including a beautiful one of “the death of St. Lucy.” Then I came upon an amazing one of the Resurrection which is not completely damaged, but needs some work. Sadly, we cannot see it since for safety reasons the “Catacombs” has to be locked. In a strange way for this year we are living that reality of the “Catacombs” of the Scala Sancta. Namely, for safety reasons we cannot see the beauty of the Church’s celebration of the Resurrection: see the beauty of the Triduum, hear the readings and hymns, nor sing the with the Church the glorious news she proclaims Christ is Risen!

However, there is one thing about the statue of the Resurrection in “the Catacombs” which caught my attention, the angels. The Angels there kneel down in adoration on both sides of Christ as bursts forth from the tomb, while the Roman soldiers turn back and cover themselves from the sight. The angels were the invisible witnesses of the Resurrection, and communicate to us the message of the definite victory over sin and death. It was an angel who said to the women that came to the tomb “Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come; see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you.” (Matthew 28:5-7)

Likewise, we can learn an important lesson for this year from the statue in the “catacombs,” even though the statue is hidden from the general view of the public, it is still there. Even though we cannot celebrate Easter as a community, we still celebrate it because the Resurrection did happen. The message of the angel gives us words of eternal hope that Christ is Risen so that, even in the midst of the temporary sadness of this pandemic, the eternal joy of the Resurrection still prevails. May God bless you and may the joy of these days fill your hearts with consolation and hope. On behalf of Fr. Urbano, Deacon Santos, and myself a blessed Easter to everyone. Christ is Risen! Indeed He has!


Mensaje del Padre Robert: Hace un par de semanas entré en las "Catacumbas" de la Scala Sancta solo para inspeccionar el área. Cuando entré, me sorprendió la cantidad de estatuas dañadas, incluida una hermosa de "la muerte de Santa Lucía". Luego me encontré con uno increíble de la Resurrección que no está completamente dañado, pero necesita algo de trabajo. Lamentablemente, no podemos verlo ya que por razones de seguridad las "Catacumbas" tienen que estar bloqueadas. De una manera extraña para este año estamos viviendo esa realidad de las "Catacumbas" de la Scala Sancta. Es decir, por razones de seguridad, no podemos ver la belleza de la celebración de la Resurrección de la Iglesia: ¡mira la belleza del Triduo, escucha las lecturas y los himnos, ni canta con la Iglesia las gloriosas noticias que ella proclama que Cristo ha resucitado! Sin embargo, hay una cosa sobre la estatua de la Resurrección en "las Catacumbas" que me llamó la atención, los ángeles. Los ángeles se arrodillan en adoración a ambos lados de Cristo mientras brota de la tumba, mientras que los soldados romanos se vuelven y se cubren de la vista. Los ángeles fueron los testigos invisibles de la Resurrección, y nos comunican el mensaje de la victoria definitiva sobre el pecado y la muerte. Fue un ángel quien dijo a las mujeres que vinieron a la tumba: "No tengan miedo; porque sé que buscas a Jesús que fue crucificado. Él no está aquí; porque ha resucitado, como dijo. Ven; Ver el lugar donde yacía. Luego ve rápidamente y dile a sus discípulos que ha resucitado de entre los muertos, y mira, él va delante de ti a Galilea; Allí lo verás. Lo que te he dicho. (Mateo 28: 5-7) Del mismo modo, podemos aprender una lección importante para este año de la estatua en las "catacumbas", aunque la estatua está oculta a la vista general del público, todavía está allí. Aunque no podemos celebrar la Pascua como comunidad, igual la celebramos porque la Resurrección sí sucedió. El mensaje del ángel nos da palabras de esperanza eterna de que Cristo ha resucitado para que, incluso en medio de la tristeza temporal de esta pandemia, el gozo eterno de la resurrección aún prevalezca. Que Dios los bendiga y que la alegría de estos días llene sus corazones de consuelo y esperanza. En nombre del p. Urbano, el Diácono Santos y yo una Pascua bendecida para todos. ¡Cristo ha resucitado! De hecho lo ha hecho!
