Parish Information
Easter food baskets will be blessed on Holy Saturday,
April 20th, 12(noon) at the oak tree on the plaza.
The tradition of blessing Easter baskets celebrates the passion of Christ and the joy of the Resurrection. The Easter meal breaks the six weeks of Lenten fasting with the sharing of blessed food on Easter morning.
The foods represent fare abstained from during Lent: meat, butter, rich breads and more. The family gathers on Easter morning after Mass around a festive table decorated with spring flowers, linen and candles.
In the center of the table, a Paschal Lamb, made of butter or cake, representing the Risen Christ, rests on a bed of lettuce, beets and horseradish next to a bowl of colored eggs, symbols of the passion, rebirth and renewal.
Participants share a blessed egg and exchange Easter wishes. In many East European countries and ethnic parishes in the United States, families bring colorful baskets filled with Easter foods and covered
with lovely embroidered linens to the church on Holy Saturday to be blessed.
Do you feel a pull toward fulfillment in life beyond the material? Do you experience a desire for a sense of purpose, for belonging,
for fully participating in the community of Jesus’ followers?
If you are having a “tug” in your heart and/or mind about becoming fully Catholic, whether non-baptized or baptized (in another faith, or never-confirmed Catholic),
contact the Faith Formation Office at (805) 526-0680 or [email protected].

My dear Parishioners,
It’s Holy Week! And this week we observe the holiest time of the year which is the TRIDUUM (Holy Thursday – Good Friday – Holy Saturday Easter Vigil). On Holy Thursday night we commemorate the Last Supper and washing of the feet, then the transfer and reposition of the Blessed Sacrament until midnight. On Good Friday we have the reading of the passion, the veneration of the Cross and Communion service. And on Holy Saturday Vigil Service we celebrate the Easter Glory and the full initiation of the elect into the Catholic Church. We will certainly celebrate these three continuous holiest days with greater meaning if we have observed our Lenten practices well and intentionally.
So, may I share with you the Lenten message of Pope Francis for this year 2019, and take advantage of the time we have left to get into the season.
Pope Francis says: “Each year, through Mother Church, God “gives us this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed… as we recall the great events that gave us new life in Christ” (Preface of
Lent I). We can thus journey from Easter to Easter towards the fulfillment of the salvation we have already received as a result of Christ’s paschal mystery – “for in hope we were saved (Rom 8:24). This mystery of salvation, already at work in us during our earthly lives, is a dynamic process that also embraces history and all of creation. As Saint Paul says, “the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God” (Rom 8:19). In this perspective, I would like to offer a few reflections to accompany our journey of conversion during this season of Lent.
1. The redemption of creation
The celebration of the Paschal Triduum of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection, the culmination of the liturgical year, calls us yearly to undertake a journey of preparation, in the knowledge that our being conformed to Christ (cf. Rom 8:29) is a priceless gift of God’s mercy.
When we live as children of God, redeemed, led by the Holy Spirit (cf. Rom 8:14) and capable of acknowledging and obeying God’s law, beginning with the law written on our hearts and in nature, we also benefit creation by cooperating in its redemption. That is why Saint Paul says that creation eagerly
longs for the revelation of the children of God; in other words, that all those who enjoy the grace of Jesus’ paschal mystery may experience its fulfillment in the redemption of the human body itself. When the love of Christ transfigures the lives of the saints in spirit, body and soul, they give praise to God. Through prayer, contemplation and art, they also include other creatures in that praise, as we see
admirably expressed in the “Canticle of the Creatures” by Saint Francis of Assisi (cf. Laudato Si’, 87). Yet in this world, the harmony generated by redemption is constantly threatened by the negative power of sin and death.
2. The destructive power of sin
Indeed, when we fail to live as children of God, we often behave in a destructive way towards our neighbors and other creatures – and ourselves as well – since we begin to think more or less consciously that we can use them as we will. Intemperance then takes the upper hand: we start to live a life that exceeds those limits imposed by our human condition and nature itself. We yield to those unrestrained desires that the Book of Wisdom sees as typical of the ungodly, those who act without thought for God or hope for the future (cf. 2:1-11). Unless we tend constantly towards Easter, towards the horizon of the Resurrection, the mentality expressed in the slogans “I want it all and I want it now!” and “Too much is never enough”, gains the upper hand.
The root of all evil, as we know, is sin, which from its first appearance has disrupted our communion with God, with others and with creation itself, to which we are linked in a particular way by our body. This rupture of communion with God likewise undermines our harmonious relationship with the environment in which we are called to live, so that the garden has become a wilderness (cf. Gen 3:17-18). Sin leads man to consider himself the god of creation, to see himself as its absolute master and to use it, not for the purpose willed by the Creator but for his own interests, to the detriment of other creatures.
Once God’s law, the law of love, is forsaken, then the law of the strong over the weak takes over. The sin that lurks in the human heart (cf. Mk 7:20-23) takes the shape of greed and unbridled pursuit of comfort, lack of concern for the good of others and even of oneself. It leads to the exploitation of

Luke 23: 14-23 Jesus' words were addressed to the
second criminal. But these words are also spoken
to us. If we have faith in Jesus and follow His way
of love, we will also be with Him in paradise.
Jesus died for our sins and prepared the way
for us to share eternal life with God in heaven.

In Ma!hew we hear the familiar words of the Passion story. Isaiah,
in a reading about the suffering servant, declares “The Lord is my
help.” Jesus says the words of the psalm of the day, “My God, my
God, why have you abandoned me?” Paul tells us that Jesus was
exalted by God and given the name above all other names. Can I
come to praise God even in my sufferings? The first step is to
trust God. Trust is a decision.
This week I will look at my life and decide where I need to
trust God. I will make that decision and commitment, and
make it again, and again, and again, as o$en and for as long
as I need to for it to become a habitual way of thinking.
Yes, the Lord is my help.

Jesus said to Faustina, My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of
My Mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment (Diary, 699).

Siendo una recaudación pontificia solicitada por el Papa Francisco, la colecta anual del Viernes Santo nos ofrece un vínculo directo
que nos permite ser agentes de paz y ayudar a proteger los Lugares Santos. Al dar su donativo este Viernes Santo,
usted estará apoyando la cristiandad en Tierra Santa.
Los Franciscanos, junto con otras entidades en Tierra Santa, albergan y alimentan a los pobres, les brindan formación
religiosa y educación, mantienen los altares y las parroquias, y ofrecen servicios pastorales. Para mayor información,
visite Myfranciscan.org/good-friday. La recaudación del Viernes Santo es solicitada por el Santo Padre.
Por favor sea lo más generoso que pueda.
