PASTORS PONDERINGS PENSAMIENTOS DE NUESTRO PARROCO Dear Parishioners, After preparing for this day throughout the Season of Lent and then commemorating Holy Week, we come to this day, in which we remember the foundational event of our Faith, the Resurrection of the Lord. In Jesus’ Resurrection we are shown that even Death need not be The End of our story, that in God, truly all things are possible and that God wants to assure us that the final word on our lives does not belong to any power here on earth, that the final word on our lives be-longs to God. In the Resurrection is Freedom. We don’t have be con-strained by anything of this world except simply the Will of God. And what is the Will of God? That we learn to love one another, treat one other as brothers and sisters, and to be … happy. We’re told in the opening chapters of Genesis that God created this wonderful world for US, that he was imme-diately concerned about the happiness of his first creation Adam, that he created the entire universe so that Adam could be happy and that finally Adam was completely happy when God created Eve. Yes, our first parents fell, yes, sin entered into the world through them. Yet, God did not abandon us, and continues to wish us to be happy. And in Jesus’ Resur-rection we’re assured that no matter how cruel this still often very much Fallen World may be, that God still wants us to be happy, if not here, then at least with him in Heaven. In our time, can we believe this? I hope so. The alternative is ceding our lives to the Powers big and small of this world (from Dictators to gossips) and in the end a hundred years from now, almost none of us will be remembered here any-way (and those who will – people like Hitler or Al Capone – will probably wish that they weren’t… Faith in God, in con-trast, offers hope. And each year, on this Day in which we remember Jesus’s Resurrection, we’re reminded of it in a special way. In the end, I can not but choose … Hope. Happy Easter to all! Fr. Dennis

Queridos feligreses, Después de prepararnos para este día durante toda la Tempora-da de Cuaresma y luego conmemorar la Semana Santa, llega-mos a este Día, en el cual recordamos el evento fundamental de nuestra Fe, la Resurrección del Señor. En la Resurrección de Jesús se nos muestra que ni siquiera la muerte debe ser el final de nuestra historia, que en Dios, en verdad, todo es posible y que Dios quiere asegurarnos de que la última palabra sobre nuestras vidas no pertenece a ningún poder aquí en tierra, que la última palabra en nuestras vidas le pertenece a Dios. En la Resurrección es la Libertad. No tenemos que quedar res-tringidos por nada de este mundo, excepto simplemente la Vo-luntad de Dios. ¿Y qué es la Voluntad de Dios? Que aprenda-mos a amarnos unos a otros, a tratarnos unos a otros como her-manos y a ser ... felices. En los primeros capítulos de Génesis, se nos dice que Dios ha creado este maravilloso mundo por no-sotros, Que inmediatamente se preocupó por la felicidad de su primera creación, Adán, que ha creado todo el universo para que Adán pudiera ser feliz y que finalmente Adán fuera comple-tamente feliz cuando Dios creó a Eva. Sí, nuestros primeros padres Cayeron, sí, el Pecado entró en el mundo a través de ellos. Sin embargo, Dios no nos abandonó, y continúa deseando que nos sentimos felices. Y en la Resurrección de Jesús estamos seguros de que no importa cuán cruel pueda ser este Mundo siempre un buen parte Caído, que Dios todavía quiere que sea-mos felices, si no aquí, al menos con Él en el Cielo. En nuestro tiempo, ¿podemos creer esto? Espero que sí. La al-ternativa es ceder nuestras vidas a los Poderes grandes y peque-ños de este mundo (de los Dictadores a los chismosos) y al final dentro de cien años, casi ninguno de nosotros será recordado aquí de todos modos (y los que lo serán - personas como Hitler o Al Capone - probablemente desearían que no lo fueran ...). En cambio, la fe en Dios, ofrece Esperanza. Y cada año, en este Día en el que recordamos la Resurrección de Jesús, se nos re-cuerda esta Esperanza de una manera especial. Al final, no puedo decidir en otra manera, escojo Esperanza. ¡Felices Pascuas para todos! P. Dennis

The Little Ones Living God’s Word

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

PROCLAIM THE RISEN CHRIST

Easter Sunday Of The Resurrection Of The Lord

The Paschal Mystery is the key to our Christian faith: the dy-ing 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 em-brace 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 new-ly-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. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

On 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 Res-urrection 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? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

First Reading — Peter is an eyewitness: The Lord is risen. — (Acts 10:34a, 37-43). Psalm — This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. — (Psalm 118). Gospel — Three witnesses, Mary, Peter, and John; each responds to the empty tomb. — (John 20:1-9) or Mark 16:1-7 (or, at an afternoon or evening Mass, Luke 24:13-35).

THE RETURN OF EASTER The return of Easter should be to the Chris-tian life the call of a trumpet. It is the news of a great victory. It is the solution of a great per-plexity. It is the assurance of a great triumph. — Frederick Temple

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

PROCLAMA AL CRISTO RESUCITADO

Domingo De Pascua: La Resurreccion Del Señor

En la mañana de Pascua el clima primaveral, las flores, los pájaros y las mariposas, las personas que nos rodean con sus mejores galas, la her-mosa liturgia y la agradable música, todo parece dar testimonio de que Jesucristo ha resucitado hoy. De la misma manera que los relatos de los testigos en la lectura de hoy, la vida gloriosa y gozosa que nos rodea nos ayuda a creer en la buena nueva de la Resurrección y exclamar “¡Aleluya!” Hoy en la Sagrada Escritura escuchamos a Pedro, a Pablo y a Juan quienes hablan con convicción de haber visto al Cristo resucitado. El relato del Evangelio según san Juan incluye a María Magdalena, quien también tuvo el privilegio de ser testigo de la Resurrección y contarles a los demás la buena nueva. En este glorioso Domingo de Pascua, ¿podemos nosotros también dar testimonio de que Jesucristo ha resucita-do hoy y está vivo y activo en nuestra vida? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Pascua viene de una palabra hebrea pesah que quiere decir “lugar de pas-tos” e indica el final de un periodo de ayuno. La Pascua Judía celebra la liber-tad del cautiverio de Egipto. El cristianismo, siendo en su origen una secta judía, tomo la fiesta de la Pascua para celebrar la muerte y resurrección de Jesús quien nos da la libertad del cautiverio pecaminoso de nuestras vidas. Eventualmente el uso de “Pascua” pasó a indicar cualquier evento en la vida de Jesús que añade a la libertad que nos obtuvo en su vida, cruz y resu-rrección. He aquí porque tradicionalmente se hablaba de la Pascua del Naci-miento, la Pascua Florida o Pascua de Resurrección y la Pascua del Espíritu Santo (Pentecostés) y todavía en grandes fiestas religiosas del año la gente se saluda con “Felices pascuas”. En EE. UU., Argentina y otros países se celebra la Pascua (Easter en in-glés) con la búsqueda de huevos multicolores y supuestamente traídos por una coneja. Easter era una diosa teutónica cuyos símbolos eran el huevo y la cone-ja, símbolos de vida y fertilidad que pasaron a representar la nueva vida que se nos da al ser liberados del pecado por la Pascua de Jesús.

Primera lectura — Pedro es un testigo: el Señor ha resucitado. — (Hechos 10:34a, 37-43). Salmo — Este es el día en que actuó el Señor: sea nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo. — (Salmo 118 [117]). Evangelio — Tres testigos, María, Pedro y Juan; cada uno responde a la tumba vacía. — (Juan 20:1-9) o Mc 16:1-7 o (en misas de la tarde o la noche) Lc 24:13-35.

LA FE EN CRISTO La fe en Cristo y el compromiso con él llevan consigo la garantía de una vida para siempre y... el estímulo de la esperanza para luchar constantemente contra todo aquello que amenaza la existencia humana. — Anónimo

2018 SUMMER FESTIVAL

When EVERYONE will have to do their part. The Bible tells us to Tithe (give 10% or 4 hours of our weekly income to God). Realizing that this would be hard for most Cath-olics, the Catholic Church asks us to give 5% or 2 hours of our weekly income to the Church. Can you give 2 hours of your weekly income to support the Church? If not, can you give at least 1 hour of your weekly income whatever it may be (2.5% or ¼ of the Biblical Tithe)? For years, everybody considered St. Philip’s finances to be hope-less. But they are not, not even in the long term. But every fami-ly needs to do its part. If every family contributed 1 hour of its weekly income, again whatever it would be, to the Parish, we would have no problems at all, ever, balancing our finances. Instead, we have 50 families (out of 1600) covering 40% of our collection while over 50% our families give less than $5/week. This is neither particu-larly just, nor honestly, sustainable. So let us ALL step up, do our part and be able to hold our heads high as we contin-ue our Journey as a Parish toward our Destiny that awaits us in Heaven.

Cuando TODOS debrán hacer su parte. La Biblia nos pide a ofrecer la Diezma (10% de nuestros in-gresos o hoy dia 4 horas de nuestro salario semanal a Dios). Sabiendo que esto no sea facil para muchos Católicos, la Igle-sia nos pide a ofrecer 5% o 2 horas sus ingresos semanales). Podrían ofrecer 2 horas de su salario semanal a la Iglesia? Si no, ¿podrían ofrecer por lo menos 1 hora de sus salarios semanales (o 2.5% o 1/4 de la Diezma Biblica)? Por años, todo el mundo consideraba las financias de San Feli-pe Benizi sin salida. Pero no debe ser así. Solo es que cada familia debe hacer su parte. Si cada familia ofrecza 1 hora de su ingreso semanal, no ten-dremos nunca más dificultades en pagar nuestras cuentas.

Pero, 50 de nuestras familias (de 1600) contribuen 40% de nuestros ingresos y más que 50% de nuestras familias ofrecen me-nos de $5/semana, Esto no es particular-mente justo o (más importante) sosteni-ble. Pues que nos levantemos, hagamos TO-DOS nuestra parte para que podamos conti-nuar con cabezas arribas en nuestro Ca-mino parroquial hacia el Destino que nos espera en el Cielo.
