THE COLOR, SIGHTS, SOUNDS... AND FOODS OF EASTER!

In the 16th and 17th centuries some missionaries from Europe were very creative and dramatic in their preaching and teaching of the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus. They intro-duced Passion Plays, which are still popular in Oberamergau, Bavaria, Germany, in other places in Europe, in central and south America and even in some places in the U.S. Adults and children celebrate these events with much color, sights, sounds and foods that even today still attracts many pilgrims and tour-ists. In 2020, there will be another opportunity to see the fa-mous Oberamergau Passion Play. We have our American version of the "Oberamergau Passion Play" in Eureka Springs, Arkansas presented yearly. In the Philippines the Spanish mis-sionaries in the 16th century introduced an interesting Easter celebration called "Salubong" (which literally means "meeting" or "encuentro" in Spanish, celebrating the emotional "meeting" of the risen Lord and his grieving mother, Mary). St. Joseph's has a yearly simpler version of this. At dawn be-fore the Easter morning Masses, the congregation goes to the Church for this "salubong" celebration. Ladies and girls pro-cess with the statue of Mary (wearing the black veil of mourn-ing) from the Church to the Salubong site. Men and boys fol-low the statue of the risen Lord to the same place but taking another route. Both groups meet at the salubong site where a stage had been built usually by a tall tree. A choir of children from 20 to 60 or more, dressed as angels, are excitedly wait-ing to sing the "alleluia Easter song." As Jesus and Mary meet, the choir of angels sing with the priest leading the East-er prayer. Then from up on the tree a special angel is lowered just above Mary and removes her black veil of sorrow to show Mary wearing the white veil of joy. (Though never mentioned in the Bible, it nevertheless portrays what is obvious in our human experience. We share our greatest joy first with our loved ones. Thus Jesus shares his victory over death first with Mary who represents the Christian community). After more Easter songs and blessings, the children and the congregation follow the two statues to return to the Church for the Mass with brass bands playing festive music and Easter dancers dancing as they process . After the Mass the children "angels" and others are treated with hot chocolate and delicacies in the Rectory ground. Ven-dors sell special Easter foods outside the Church to add to the festive celebration of the resurrection. Indeed this is a brilliant way of engaging especially the children in the liturgy and at-tracting more people to what could just be another "boring liturgy". Everybody is excited and happy. The message of Easter is that JESUS IS ALIVE, HE HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD. We too will have our own res-urrection, as we profess when we pray the Creed. Our Chris-tian faith is in its very essence a resurrection religion. No res-urrection, no Christianity. And Easter means that right now, no matter how difficult our problems are, our suffering, pain, crises, persecution... if we face them with the faith of the one who rose from the dead, we will be able to overcome them and there is going to be a "resurrection". Easter means that there is a cycle of dying and rising in our personal lives. Whatever part of us seems to have died, whatever relationships have died, the hope has not died. HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL and TO YOUR LOVED ONES! D. Tabujara, Pastor

LOS COLORES, PAISAJES, SONIDOS... Y COMIDAS DE PASCUA!

En los siglos 16 y 17 algunos misioneros de Europa eran muy creativos y dramáticos en su predicación y enseñanzas del sufri-mientos, muerte y resurrección de Jesús. Introdujeron Obras acerca de la Pasión de Cristo, las cuales aún son muy populares en Oberamergau, Baviera, Alemania, y en otros países de Euro-pa, en América Central y América del Sur y hasta en algunos lugares en USA. Los adultos y niños celebran estos eventos con mucho color, con paisajes, sonidos y comidas que hasta el día de hoy atraen a muchos peregrinos y turistas. En el año 2020, habrá otra oportunidad para ver la famosa Obra de la Pasión de Cristo de Oberamergau. Nosotros tenemos la versión americana de la “Obra de la Pasión de Cristo de Oberamergau” en Eureka Springs, Arkansas presentada cada año. En Filipinas los misione-ros españoles en el siglo 16 introdujeron una celebración de Pas-cua muy interesante llamada "Salubong" (que literalmente se traduce como "encuentro" en español, celebrando el emotivo "encuentro" de Jesús resucitado y María, su Madre). San José tiene una versión anual más simple. Al amanecer, antes de las Misas de la mañana de Pascua, la congregación va a la Iglesia para esta celebración de "salubong". Las mujeres y las niñas procesan con la estatua de María (vestida con el velo negro de luto) desde la Iglesia hasta el sitio de Salubong. Hombres y niños siguen la estatua del Señor resucitado hasta el mismo lugar, pero toman otra ruta. Ambos grupos se reúnen en el sitio de Salubong donde se construyó un escenario generalmente cerca de algún árbol alto. Un coro de niños de 20 a 60 miembros o más, vestidos como ángeles, esperan con entusiasmo para cantar la "canción de Aleluya de Pascua". Cuando Jesús y María se encuentran, el coro de ángeles canta con el sacerdote que dirige la oración de Pascua. Luego, desde lo alto del árbol, un ángel especial baja justo por encima de María y se quita el velo negro de dolor para mostrar a María con el velo blanco de alegría. (Aunque nunca se menciona en la Biblia, retrata lo que es obvio en nuestra expe-riencia humana. Primero compartimos nuestro mayor gozo con nuestros seres queridos. Así, Jesús comparte su victoria sobre la muerte primero con María, que representa a la comunidad cris-tiana). Después de más canciones y bendiciones de Pascua, los niños y la congregación siguen las dos estatuas para regresar a la Iglesia para la Misa con bandas de música que tocan música festiva y bailarines de Pascua bailando mientras procesan. Después de la misa, los niños "ángeles" y otros son recompensa-dos con chocolate caliente y manjares en la Rectoría. Los vende-dores venden comidas especiales de Pascua fuera de la Iglesia para hacer mas festiva la celebración de la Resurrección. De hecho, esta es una manera brillante de involucrar especialmente a los niños en la liturgia y atraer a más personas para las que la Pascua podría ser otra "liturgia aburrida". Todos están emocio-nados y felices. El mensaje de Pascua es que JESUS ESTA VIVO, EL HA VENCIDO A LA MUERTE. Nosotros también resucitaremos, al profesar el credo. Nuestra fe cristiana es en esencia una reli-gión de resurrección. Sin Resurrección, no hay Cristiandad. Y la Pascua quiere decir que ahora, sin importar lo difícil que nuestros problemas puedan ser, nuestros sufrimientos, dolor, crisis, perse-cución… si los enfrentamos con fe, podremos vencerlos y esa será nuestra "resurrección". Pascua significa que hay un ciclo de morir y resucitar en nuestras vidas personales. Cualquiera que sea la parte de nosotros que parece haber muerto, las relaciones que hayan muerto, la esperanza no ha muerto. ¡LES DESEO UNA FELIZ PASCUA A TODOS USTEDES Y A SUS SERES QUERIDOS! Rev. Oscar D. Tabujara, Pastor

Divine Mercy Novena Schedule 2019

Devine Mercy Devotion From the diary of a young Polish nun, a special devotion began spreading throughout the world in the 1930s. The message is nothing new, but is a reminder of what the Church has always taught through scripture and tradition: that God is merciful and forgiving and that we, too, must show mercy and forgiveness. But in the Divine Mercy devotion, the message takes on a powerful new focus, calling people to a deeper understand-ing that God’s love is unlimited and available to everyone — especially the greatest sinners. The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint Faustina Kow-alska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread. The message of mercy is that God loves us — all of us — no matter how great our sins. He wants us to rec-ognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. It is a message we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC. A — Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and ask-ing Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world. B — Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to ex-tend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us. C — Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.

Farewell to Two Dedicated Parishioners You Will be Missed!

We are sad to report that Mary Anne Williams and her daughter, Samantha Williams, will be moving to another parish closer to their home in San Jose during the month of May. Mary Anne joined our parish in 1985, was married here by Fr. Casey, served in the (10:30 then 11:15 Mass) choir for 29 years, served as a Lector for 10 years, assisted with the Children’s Liturgy of the Word for 15 years and served as a Eucharistic Minister for the past 4 years. Her daughter Samantha was Baptized and made her First Com-munion here, then served as an Altar Server for 7 years, became coordinator of the English Mass Altar Servers about 2 years ago, served as an Eucharistic Minister for 4 years, and assisted her mom with the Children’s Liturgy of the Word for several years. We asked Mary Anne and Samantha for a favorite memory of St. Athanasius and here is what they said: Mary Anne – “There are so much wonderful memories, it's hard to pick. However, I love children and I'll say my favor-ite memory was singing with the kids in the choir who are now teenagers and doing activities with the kids during Children's Liturgy at 11:15 mass.” Samantha – “Serving as an Altar Server side by side with her cousins as one family serving the parish.” Mary Anne and Samantha answered God’s call to serve their parish community and we hope that their example will inspire you to volunteer your time and talent as well. We will miss them very much and we thank them for their years of service. Following the 11:15am Mass on Easter Sunday we will have a little farewell reception for them in the Parish Hall. Please join us if you can.
