Sacred Heart Catholic Church Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord –April 14, 2019

Reflection from the Pastor:

Our participation in the Eucharist is the renewal of our membership

in the covenant with Christ: “When we eat this Bread and drink this Cup,

we proclaim your death, O Lord, until you come again (Memorial

Acclamation, cf. 1 Cor. 11:26).” The grace of the Eucharist is communion

in the charity of Christ, which unites the human person to God and to the

Church. To God and to the Church! By our reception of Holy

Communion, we become one in charity, one in love, with Christ and his

Body, the Church. This is why it is never about “me and Jesus”, as if we

could exclude the rest of his Body. We are saved only in so far as we are

united to his Body the Church! Coming to Holy Mass and effectively

loving our brothers and sisters in Christ are really two sides of the same

coin.

Strong families know that if they don’t spend time together on a

regular basis, the family bond weakens. Even if the baby brother is

screaming, mom is bored and dad is worried about something, being

together is necessary for strong families. When we come to Mass, we hope

that we’re never bored, or preoccupied or making a fuss, but just as strong

families know being together is more important than having everything

perfect, we come to Holy Mass because we need to be with Christ and His

Body! I want to wish my parish family a very happy Easter! I am glad that

we are together today, united as one in the Holy Eucharist.

¡Felicidades! Para todos aquellos quienes recibieron los Sacramentos de Iniciación en la Vigilia Pascual: Sierra Longoria, Michael

Richard, Alex Giles y Ana Giles. ¡Que Dios les Bendiga siempre!

Meditación del Párroco: Nuestra participación en la Eucaristía es la renovación de nuestra incorporación en la nueva alianza con Cristo:

“Cuando comemos este pan y bebamos esta cáliz, proclamamos tu muerte, Señor, hasta que vuelvas (Aclamación memorial,

cf. 1 Co. 11: 26)." La gracia de la Eucaristía es comunión en la caridad de Cristo, que une a la persona humana con Dios y

con la Iglesia. ¡A Dios ya la Iglesia! Al recibir la Sagrada Comunión, nos convertimos en uno en la caridad, uno en el amor,

con Cristo y su Cuerpo, la Iglesia. Por eso nunca se trata de "yo y Jesús", como si pudiéramos excluir el resto de su cuerpo.

¡Somos salvos solo en la medida en que estamos unidos a su Cuerpo, la Iglesia! Venir a la Santa Misa y amar efectivamente

a nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo son realmente dos caras de la misma moneda.

Las familias fuertes saben que si no pasan tiempo juntos de manera regular, el vínculo familiar se debilita. Incluso si

el hermanito está gritando, mamá está aburrida y papá está preocupado por algo, estar juntos es necesario para familias

fuertes. ¡Cuando venimos a la Santa Misa, esperamos que nunca nos aburramos, ni estemos preocupados o que nos

preocupemos, pero al igual que las familias fuertes saben que estar juntos es más importante que tener todo perfecto,

asistimos a la Santa Misa porque debemos estar con Cristo y su Cuerpo! ¡Quiero desear a mi familia parroquial una muy

feliz Pascua! Me alegra que estemos juntos hoy, unidos en la Sagrada Eucaristía.
