The owner who anticipating a large crowd, ordered him to work Easter Sunday. He had no choice. Furthermore, he needed the manager's job badly. His children required a lot of food and clothing. He swallowed his disappointment. However, the manager had to concede his employer was correct. The people looking for Easter Sunday breakfast were double the usual number. Before noon he found himself tired. From the crowds coming in the front door, he saw no relief. If anything, he could use a few more counter-clerks. He felt guilty getting bad-tempered with several customers. They had grown impatient at the long wait. He sensed too that his anger arose from his envy that they were free, and he was not. Some of them had their children clutching their precious Easter bunnies. The young man, who was next in line, was wearing a gold cross around his neck. He politely said to the manager, "Two orders of scrambled eggs please with a double order of bacon and sausage, whole wheat toast, two fresh orange juices, two large coffees." Then he said, "Please put each breakfast on a separate tray, but give me the check for both." The manager assembled the breakfast order for the pleasant man. He presented the trays to him and said, "$15.53." The manager was giving the man his change for $20. At that point, the fellow, dressed in workingman's clothes, said, "Please give the change and the second tray to the man behind me." Then he disappeared into the large crowd. It was the last he saw of him. Then the manager saw the man behind his last customer. He was dressed in old clothing, needed a shave, and was carrying what appeared to be his belongings. They were spilling out from two plastic shopping bags. He looked exhausted. He appeared as though he would be lucky to have the few coins needed for a senior coffee. The manager gave the surprised man the second heaping tray and the change from the $20. He smiled at him. It was his first genuine smile that morning. He whispered to him that his benefactor was the fellow who had just been in front of him. The old man looked confused but delighted. His Easter Sunday had been made. For this beggar, the Christ had indeed risen. The good news was very good. He would have a good breakfast. He was tempted to shout ALLELUIA. Wasn't this impulsive gesture of the workingman what the Easter Jesus is really all about? The Christian truck driver was practicing his beliefs." The manager recalled the line someone had recently spoken to him: "I can't save the world, but I can send a poor man a pizza." The resurrected Jesus had come to that fast-food shop in the person of the young truck driver. He was driving an eighteen-wheeler. He too was away from his family on Easter. The manager realized the driver had touched not only the hungry old man down on his luck but also himself. He had transformed his shop into a cathedral. The work day passed quickly after that. He mused on the thought that while it is not easy to become an Easter Christian, it sure is easy to start. When he got home tired that night, his three year old embraced him and shouted, “Daddy, daddy, we saw the Easter Jesus in church." As he picked up the child, he kissed her warmly. Then he whispered to her with a large smile, "I saw Him too, Dora." As he got down on his knees for his night prayers, he thanked the risen Jesus for sending both men into his shop that Easter Sunday. For a fleeting moment, he wondered whether the poor man had been the resurrected Jesus Himself. But he dismissed that notion as much too grandiose. But was it? May God Bless You, Fr. Dan

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Parishioners, Here’s an Easter parable. The father was in a foul mood. He wanted to attend the Easter Liturgy with his wife and 3 children. Sunday Mass with his family was special for him. He believed in the old saying that teaches that the family that worships together stays together. But he was the new manager of a fast-food restaurant. The owner who anticipating a large crowd, ordered him to work Easter Sunday. He had no choice. Furthermore, he needed the manager's job badly. His children required a lot of food and clothing. He swallowed his disappointment. However, the manager had to concede his employer was correct. The people looking for Easter Sunday breakfast were double the usual

number. Before noon he found himself tired. From the crowds coming in the front door, he saw no relief. If anything, he could use a few more counter-clerks. He felt guilty getting bad-tempered with several customers. They had grown impatient at the long wait. He sensed too that his anger arose from his envy that they were free, and he was not. Some of them had their children clutching their precious Easter bunnies. The young man, who was next in line, was wearing a gold cross around his neck. He politely said to the manager, "Two orders of scrambled eggs please with a

double order of bacon and sausage, whole wheat toast, two fresh orange

juices, two large coffees." Then he said, "Please put each breakfast on a

separate tray, but give me the check for both." The manager assembled the breakfast order for the pleasant man. He presented the trays to him and said, "$15.53." The manager was giving the man his change for $20. At that point, the fellow, dressed in workingman's clothes, said, "Please give the change and

the second tray to the man behind me." Then he disappeared into the large crowd. It was the last he saw of him. Then the manager saw the man behind his last customer. He was dressed in old clothing, needed a shave, and was carrying what appeared to be his belongings. They were spilling out from two plastic shopping bags. He looked exhausted. He appeared as though he would be lucky to have the few coins needed for a senior coffee. The manager gave the surprised man the second heaping tray and the change from the $20. He smiled at him.

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD SUNDAY APRIL 1, 2018 DOMINGO DE PASCUA DE RESURRECCION DEL SENOR DOMINGO 1 DE ABRIL DEL 2018

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Feligreses,

Aquí esta una parábola de la semana Santa. El padre estaba de muy mal humor. Quería asistir a la liturgia de semana Santa con su esposa y 3 hijos. La misa dominical con su familia era especial para él. Él creía en el refrán que dice que la familia que ora junta permanece junta. Pero él era el nuevo Gerente de un restaurante de comida rápida. El propietario anticipando una gran multitud, le ordenó trabajar el domingo de Pascua. Él no tuvo otra opción. Además, necesitaba mucho el trabajo de gerente. Sus hijos requieren un montón de ropa y comida. Él se tragó su decepción. Sin embargo, el gerente tuvo que reconocer que su empleador estaba en lo correcto. La gente busca el desayuno del domingo de pascua el número era doble de lo habitual. Antes del mediodía se encontró cansado de las multitudes desde la puerta, no vio ningún alivio. En todo caso, él podría utilizar a unos empleados más. Se sentía culpable de seguir malhumorado con varios clientes. Que habían estado impacientes en la larga espera. Sentía También que su enojo era debido a su envidia de que ellos eran libres y él no lo estaba. Algunos de ellos tenían sus hijos con sus preciosos conejitos de Pascua. El joven, que seguía en línea, llevaba una cruz de oro alrededor de su cuello. Dijo cortésmente al gerente, "dos órdenes de huevos revueltos con un orden doble de tocino y salchicha, pan integral tostado, dos zumos de naranja, dos cafés grandes." Luego dijo: "Por favor, ponga cada desayuno en bandejas separadas,". Y una sola cuenta. El administrador dio la orden de desayuno a aquel agradable hombre. Le presento las bandejas y le dijo: "$15,53." El Gerente le estaba dando al hombre su cambio por $20. Al mismo tiempo, el hombre, vestido con ropa de trabajo, dijo: "Por favor, dale el cambio y la segunda bandeja al hombre detrás de mí". Luego desapareció en la multitud. Fue lo último que vio de él. Entonces el gerente vio al hombre detrás de su último cliente. Estaba vestido con ropa vieja, necesitaba un afeitado y llevaba lo que parecía ser sus pertenencias. Se salían de dos bolsas de plástico. Parecía agotado. Parecía como si pensaba que tendría mucha suerte si traía algunas monedas para un café. El gerente le dio al hombre sorprendido la segunda bandeja colmada y el cambio de los $20. Él le sonrió. Fue su primera sonrisa genuina esa mañana. Le susurró que su benefactor era el compañero que había justo delante de él. El anciano lo miró confundido pero encantado. Le hizo su el domingo de resurrección. Para este mendigo, Cristo en efecto había resucitado. La buena noticia era muy buena. Tenía un buen desayuno. Fue tentado a gritar ALELUYA. ¿No era este gesto impulsivo del trabajador de lo que la Pascua de la resurrección de Jesús se trata realmente? El camionero cristiano estaba practicando sus creencias." El Gerente recordó que en la línea alguien le había dicho: "yo no puedo salvar al mundo, pero puedo enviar a un hombre pobre una pizza". Jesús resucitado había llegado a ese lugar de comida rápida en la persona de un joven camionero. Conducía un camión de dieciocho ruedas. Él también estaba demasiado lejos de su familia en Semana Santa. El administrador se dio cuenta de que el conductor había tocado no sólo el hambriento viejo en su suerte, sino al mismo. Él había transformado el restaurante en una catedral.

El día de trabajo pasó rápidamente después de eso. Reflexionó sobre el pensamiento que si bien no es fácil llegar a ser un cristiano de Pascua, seguro que es fácil empezar. Cuando él llego a casa cansado esa noche, su niña de tres años lo abrazó y gritó: "papá, papá, vimos la Pascua de la resurrección de Jesús en la iglesia." Recogió la niña, la besó con gusto. Entonces le susurró con una sonrisa grande, "Yo lo vi también, Dora." Cuando él se puso de rodillas para sus oraciones de la noche, agradeció a Jesús resucitado por el envío de ambos hombres al restaurante el domingo de Pascua. Para un momento fugaz se preguntó si el pobre hombre había sido el Jesús resucitado. Pero él rechazó esa noción como algo demasiado grandioso. ¿Pero lo fue?

Que Dios te bendiga, Fr. Dan

But, in reality, every Sunday in

Sunday because we remember

Christ’s resurrection each week.

Thank you for your generous

weekly offerings, your

stewardship of your time, your

talent, and your treasure making

it possible to be able to preach

the Easter message every day.

“Then the angel said to the women in reply, “Do not be afraid! I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples. “He has been raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee, there you will see him.” (Matthew 28:5-7)

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF EASTER? While the

focus was once on Easter Sunday, now it is on the Easter Bunny. But Easter Sunday is much more than a day of colorful plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies; it is in fact a day that left the world forever changed. It had been three days since Jesus had received the death penalty by popular vote. His friends and followers were devastated, as they had come to believe that He was not just an ordinary man, but the Son of God. He had performed miracles, healed every disease, and even brought a man back from the dead. On that third day—the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday—His friends went to His grave, but instead of finding His body, they found an open tomb with no body in it. In fact, what they saw was an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen” (Matthew 28:5, 6). Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday; now He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. This is the true story of Easter, and this salvation is for you. Here are 4 principles that tell how you

can receive the gift of God for your life. God Loves You!

OUR OFFICES & FACILITIES WILL REMAIN CLOSED ON GOOD FRIDAY, HOLY SATURDAY, EASTER SUNDAY AND EASTER MONDAY, MARCH 30,31, APRIL 1,2, 2018.

“COME AWAY AND REST FOR A WHILE” (Mk 6:31)

LA RESURRECCIÓN de Jesús nos descubre nuestra vocación cristiana y nuestra misión: acercarla a todos los hombres. El hombre no puede perder jamás la esperanza en la victoria del bien sobre el mal. ¿Creo en la Resurrección?, ¿la proclamo?; ¿creo en mi vocación y misión cristiana?, ¿la vivo?; ¿creo en la resurrección futura?, ¿me alienta en esta vida? La Resurrección es una verdad fundamental de cristianismo. Cristo EN VERDAD resucitó por el poder de Dios. No se trata de un fantasma, ni una mera fuerza de energía, ni de un cuerpo revivido como el de Lázaro que volvió a morir. La presencia de Jesús resucitado no se trata de alucinaciones por parte de los Apóstoles. Cuando decimos "Cristo vive" no estamos usando una manera de hablar, como piensan algunos, para decir que vive solo en nuestro recuerdo. La cruz, muerte y resurrección de Cristo son hechos históricos que sacudieron el mundo de su época y transformaron la historia de

todos los siglos. Cristo vive para siempre con el mismo cuerpo con que murió, pero este ha sido transformado y glorificado (Cf. Cor.15:20, 35-45) de manera que goza de un nuevo orden de vida como jamás vivió un ser humano. La vida de Cristo la vivimos por la gracia. Los que son de Cristo participan ya de esta vida nueva de Cristo desde el bautismo. Esta vida activa en nosotros se llama gracia. Se puede

perder por el pecado mortal, pero se puede recuperar por el perdón sacramental, y la debemos aumentar viviendo fielmente nuestra fe. La gracia nos da fortaleza, esperanza y la capacidad de un amor sobrenatural. Nos hace capaces de comprender el sentido profundo de la vida y de las luchas porque nos comunica la perspectiva de Dios. El cristiano, movido por el Espíritu Santo vive en gracia de Dios, preparándose para la continuación de su vida eterna después de la muerte. Esta vida de Cristo la vivieron los santos (Cf. Rom 6:8) de manera ejemplar. Todos debemos de imitarlos para ser también santos. Sin la gracia, los hombres caen en un gran vacío, en una vida sin sentido. La muerte, tanto espiritual como física, es la consecuencia del pecado que entró en el mundo por rebelión de nuestros primeros padres. Estamos sujetos a la muerte física, pero el "aguijón" del pecado ha sido reemplazado por la esperanza cierta en la resurrección. Jesucristo pagó el precio por nuestros pecados con su muerte en la cruz. Conquistó así a todos sus enemigos. El último enemigo en ser destruido, al final del tiempo, será la muerte (Cf. I Cor. 15:26). Por eso, la muerte no es el final, tampoco nos encierra en un ciclo como piensan los proponentes de la reencarnación. Vivimos y morimos una sola vez. Durante nuestra vida mortal decidimos nuestra eternidad. Recibimos la gracia y la misericordia de Dios

que nos abre las puertas del cielo. Al final del tiempo se establecerá plenamente el reino del Señor. Ven señor JESUS!

LAUGH LINES – It was Palm Sunday and, because of a

sore throat, five-year-old Johnnie stayed at home from church with a sitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked what they were for. “People held them over Jesus’ head as he walked by, “Wouldn’t you know it,” the boy fumed, “the one Sunday I don’t go, he shows up!”. Christian Clippings
