Easter Sunday of the Resurrectionof the Lord

April 1, 2018I shall not die, but live,

and declare the works of the LORD.— Psalm 118:17

PROCLAIM THE RISEN CHRISTOn Easter morning everything—the spring

weather, the flowers, birds and butterflies, the people around us in their finery, the beautiful liturgy and music—everything seems to bear witness that Jesus Christ is risen today! Like the eyewitness accounts in today’s scriptures, the glorious and joyful life all around us helps us to believe the good news of the Resurrection and sing “Alleluia!” In the scriptures today we hear from Peter and Paul and John. All three speak with conviction about witnessing the resurrected Christ. John’s Gospel account includes Mary of Magdala, who also was privileged to witness the Resurrection and tell others the good news. On this glorious Easter Sunday can we ourselves give eyewitness accounts that Jesus Christ is risen today, alive and active in our lives?

Question of the WeekHow can I bear witness to the Good News of Jesus Christ in the world today? Can I

take the risen Christ I receive in the Eucharist and make him present in my

daily life?

Pastor’s NoteEaster’s Message

Dear Parishioners,Easter is the fulfillment of our Catholic faith. The Resurrection of our Lord is the great triumph over sin and death. Let us rejoice alongside our Risen Lord this Easter. Come spend time with Him in the Eucharistic Adoration. Experience the healing and forgiveness of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Receive His Body and Blood at Mass. Opening yourselves to the opportunities of this Easter season will allow you to participate in the fullness of this most sacred Holy Day. Enjoy Easter the way you were meant to; with Jesus.In Christ,Rev. Rolando C. PetronioRev. Suresh EryRev. Deacon Jared &Tara HungerfordRev. Deacon Fred & Maria Ybarra

Queridos Feligreses,La Pascua es la cumber de nuestra fe catolica. La resurreccion de nuestro Senor es el gran triunfo sobre el pecado y la muerte. Alegremonos al lado del Senor Resucitado durante esta Pascua. Vengan a pasar tiempo con El en adoracion

eucaristica. Experimenten el Alivio y la Misericordia del sacramento de la reconciliacion. Reciban el cuerpo y la sangre de El en la Misa. Es por nuestra participacion en los sacramentos que sinceramente llegamos a reflectionar en la significacion de este dia sagrado. Celebren la Pascua como es debido; con Jesus.En Cristo,Rev. Rolando C. PetronioRev. Suresh EryRev. Deacon Jared &Tara HungerfordRev. Deacon Fred & Maria Ybarra

THE RETURN OF EASTERThe return of Easter should be to the Christian

life the call of a trumpet. It is the news of a great victory. It is the solution of a great perplexity. It is the assurance of a great triumph.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONThe Paschal Mystery is the key to our Christian

faith: the dying and rising of Jesus that is the pattern of our life. In their first steps on the road of faith, the catechumens feel the cross of glory traced over their eyes, on their lips, across their shoulders, on their ears, over their heart, and on their feet. The mystery is that even death gives way to life for those who are held in the embrace of Jesus. Today, many new Christians arise from the waters of the font. Yet the font is not the destination of their journey. The goal is Pentecost, fifty days from now, and a lifetime of

praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the world. “Neophyte,” our ancient word for newly-baptized people, means “newly-planted” in Greek. If someone in your parish has just been baptized, welcome them today. The smiles on their faces and the light in the eyes is a foretaste of heaven.

MemorareRemember, O Most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your

intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you. O Virgin of virgins, my

Mother; to you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen(If 20 people commit to saying the

Memorare for a year asking our Lady’s intercession against abortion

at the end of the year over 7,000 prayers asking for the end of abortion through our Lady.)

Adoration of the Blessed SacramentEvery Friday 8:30am - 4:00pm

Evening Prayer/Benediction 4:00 p.m. "Our communal worship at Mass must go together

with our personal worship of Jesus in Eucharistic adoration in order that our love may be complete."

St. John Paul II
