DE LA OFICINA DEL PASTOR FROM THE OGLE OFFICE Dear friends Easter is the feast of resurrection. But what does resurrection mean in our daily life? How do we live differently knowing that there is life after death? I think we could compare it to the difference between a one-use Metrocard and a refillable one. If we get a one-use Metrocard, we simply throw it away once it’s emptied. Whereas a refillable card will be more carefully protected, because we don’t want to pay that one-dollar new card fee. And if we have a senior citizen half-fare card (as I do!) we protect it very carefully so we don’t have to go through the hassle of applying for a new one and paying full-fare in the meantime. In other words, we’re more careful with those things that have a longer life. So too with a life lived in resurrection hope. If human life is a “one-use Metrocard” that can be discarded when empty, then frequently it’s more likely we may adopt a hedonistic attitude toward life, or a self-destructive one, or simply a narcissistic one. Whereas if we know that our human existence is “refillable” so to speak, with an eternal life of beatific vision, we’re more likely to live in such a way as to make that possible. When we realize that life is an eternal gift, we are more likely to live in a giving way. The guide-book for living in such a way is the Gospel of Christ. Of course, the weakness of human nature and the tragic decisions we are prone to make can distort even a well-intentioned life of faith. That’s why we need to cultivate the practice of Christian virtue. Virtue is defined by St Thomas Aquinas as the “habitual inclination to do the good”. Virtue is a habit that must be cultivated if we are to succeed in living an effective life of faith. Life itself is a gift, but virtue must be achieved. Christ’s triumph over death should motivate us to live a life of total self-gift as He did, and to cultivate the virtues necessary to do so. Such is the theme of the sonnet “Easter” by Sir Edmund Spenser, a contemporary of Shakespeare. May his words (Pardon the archaic spelling!) spur us on to greater Christ-like love in our own lives.

Most glorious Lord of Lyfe! that, on this day, Didst make Thy triumph over death and sin; And, having harrow’d hell, didst bring away Captivity thence captive, us to win: This joyous day, deare Lord, with joy begin; And grant that we, for whom thou diddest dye, Being with Thy deare blood clene wash’t from sin, May live for ever in felicity! And that Thy love we weighing worthily, May likewise love Thee for the same againe; And for Thy sake, that all lyke deare didst buy, With love may one another entertayne! So let us love, deare Love, lyke as we ought, — Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.

Msgr Ogle

Queridos amigos, La Pascua es la fiesta de la resurrección. Pero, ¿qué significa la resurrección en nuestra vida diaria? ¿Cómo vivimos de manera diferente sabiendo que hay vida después de la muerte? Creo que podríamos compararlo con la diferencia entre una Metrocard de un solo uso y uno recargable. Si obtenemos una Metrocard de un solo uso, simplemente lo desechamos una vez que se vacía. Mientras que una tarjeta recargable se protegerá más cuidadosa-mente, porque no queremos pagar esa tarifa de tarjeta nueva de un dólar. Y si tenemos una tarjeta de media tarifa para personas de la tercera edad (¡como lo hago yo!), La protegemos con mu-cho cuidado para que no tengamos que pasar por la molestia de solicitar una nueva y pagar la tarifa completa mientras tanto. En otras palabras, somos más cuidadosos con aquellas cosas que tienen una vida más larga. Así también con una vida vivida en la esperanza de la resurrec-ción. Si la vida humana es un "Metrocard de un solo uso" que se puede descartar cuando está vacía, es más probable que adopte-mos una actitud hedonista hacia la vida, o autodestructiva, o sim-plemente narcisista. Mientras que si sabemos que nuestra exis-tencia humana es "recargable", por así decirlo, con una vida eter-na de visión beatífica, es más probable que vivamos de tal mane-ra que sea posible. Cuando nos damos cuenta que la vida es un regalo eterno, somos más propensos a vivir de una manera de dar. La guía para vivir de tal manera es el Evangelio de Cristo. Por supuesto, la debilidad de la naturaleza humana y las decisio-nes trágicas que estamos dispuestos a tomar pueden distorsionar incluso una vida de fe bien intencionada. Es por eso que necesita-mos cultivar la práctica de la virtud cristiana. La virtud es definida por Santo Tomás de Aquino como la "inclinación habitual para hacer el bien". La virtud es un hábito que debe cultivarse si que-remos tener éxito en vivir una vida de fe efectiva. La vida misma es un regalo gratuito, pero se debe lograr por nuestros esfuerzos la virtud. El triunfo de Cristo sobre la muerte debe motivarnos a vivir una vida de auto-donación total como lo hizo él. Tal es el tema del soneto "Pascua" de Sir Edmund Spenser, un contemporáneo de Cervantes. Que sus palabras nos impulsen a un mayor amor como el de Cristo en nuestras propias vidas. ¡El más glorioso Señor de la Vida! que, en este día, Hizo tu triunfo sobre la muerte y el pecado; Y, habiendo desgarrado el infierno, lo trajo Cautiverio de allí cautivo, nosotros para ganar: Este día feliz, querido Señor, con alegría comienza; Y concédenos que nosotros, para quien teñiste, Estando con tu sangre querida limpia del pecado, ¡Que viva por siempre en la felicidad! Y que con tu amor pesemos dignamente, Puede igualmente amarte por el mismo otra vez; Y por tu bien, que todos como queridos sí compraron, ¡Con el amor se entretengan! Así que amemos, querido amor, como deberíamos, - El amor es la lección que el Señor nos enseñó.
