Today as we celebrate the feast of Easter, like Mary Magdalene and the Disciples we find the challenge of also seeing and believing the resur-rection. As you put your gift into the St. Vincent de Paul box you help those who are poor and hungry to

“see and believe” in the Resurrection.

Seek refuge in the name

of the Lord

Happy Easter! Or as most other languages prefer: Blessed Pasch— Passover! Pasqua, Pascua, Páscoa, Pâques! Israel’s Passover through the Red Sea to the Promised Land! Jesus’ Passover through the Cross to resurrection! Our catechumens’ Passover last night, and ours once upon a time, through Bap-tism’s waters to our family’s Eucharist! Welcome, everybody! As someone once said of the Catholic Church, “Here comes everybody!” So in this Jubilee of Mercy, we make our own Saint John Chrysostom’s Easter welcome from fourteen hun-dred years ago: “Let everyone enjoy this radiant feast! You who fasted from Lent’s beginning, and you who didn’t fast at all, rejoice! The table’s richly set! Come, take from it, every-body, no worries, no embarrassment! All of you, taste the banquet of faith! Enjoy the feast of forgiveness! Let no one grieve for having sinned again and again: pardon has risen from the tomb!” Happy Easter! Blessed Pasch! Welcome, every-body! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Easter Flower Donations have been made in memory/honor of:

¡FELIZ PASCUA! ¡Feliz Pascua! La Pascua de Israel a través del Mar Rojo a la Tierra Prometi-da! La Pascua de Jesús a través de la cruz a la resu-rrección. La Pascua de nuestros catecúmenos anoche, y la nuestra una vez más, a través de las aguas de nuestro bautizo a nuestra familia eucarísti-ca. ¡Bienvenidos todos! Como alguien dijo una vez acerca de la Iglesia católica: “¡aquí vienen todos!” Así que en este jubileo de misericordia, hacemos nuestra propia Pascua de san Juan Crisóstomo desde hace c u a t r o c i e n t o s a ñ o s

“¡Permitan que todos se alegren en esta fiesta ra-diante! Ustedes que ayu-naron desde el inicio de la Cuaresma y ustedes que no ayunaran para nada, ¡alégrense! ¡La mesa está generosamente arreglada! Vengan, sírvanse, todos, no se preocupen, ¡no se avergüencen! ¡Todos us-tedes, prueben el banque-te de la fe! ¡Disfruten la fiesta del perdón! ¡No llo-ren por haber pecado una y otra vez: el perdón se levanta del sepulcro!” ¡ F e l i z P a s c u a ! ¡Bienvenidos todos! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

La Pascua nos hace nue-vos es en el sepulcro. Los cementerios raramente nos ocasionan alegría. Nadie considera a una tumba el perfecto lugar para cele-brar. Y aun así el sepulcro de Jesús es un lugar alegre de la conversión final de los discípulos para su nue-va forma de vida. Al estar

en el sepulcro donde pu-sieron el cuerpo de Jesús unos pocos días antes, Pe-dro y Juan llegan a com-prender la plenitud de la gloria de Dios. El poder extraordinario dador de vida de Dios hace burla a la muerte. Esta transformación ofre-ce esperanza a nuestras

vidas cotidianas. Aunque Cristo resucitó, la vida humana todavía enfrenta sufrimiento y angustia. En nuestros momentos más bajos, podemos ser tenta-dos a perder la fe en Dios. La Pascua nos recuerda que el mismo Jesús en-frentó el terror que la vida nos presenta y que venció.

Cuando estamos en luga-res oscuros que sentimos que estamos en nuestros propios sepulcros, Jesús está con nosotros. El Se-ñor transforma la más os-cura muerte en vida nue-va. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
