From the Desk of Father Jonathan
This past Monday, the Feast of the Annunciation, Pope Francis pub-lished an "Apostolic Exhortation", that is, a pastoral letter from the pope to all Catholics and to all people of good will. The letter is titled "Rejoice and be Glad" and it treats the topic of "holiness". The Holy Father uses the letter to remind us that all of us are called to be holy, not just those rare cases of holy men and women who are canon-ized by the church.
Do you remember when Mother Teresa was asked what she thought about people calling her a "living saint"? She responded that it didn't bother her because all of us, yes, all of us, are called to be saints.
Below are two paragraphs from the Apostolic Exhortation that I found particularly inspiring.
THE SAINTS “NEXT DOOR” 6. Nor need we think only of those already beatified and canonized. The Holy Spirit bestows holiness in abundance among God’s holy and faithful people, for “it has pleased God to make men and women holy and to save them, not as individuals without any bond between them, but rather as a people who might acknowledge him in truth and serve him in holiness”.[3] In salvation history, the Lord saved one people. We are never completely ourselves unless we belong to a people. That is why no one is saved alone, as an isolated individu-al. Rather, God draws us to himself, taking into account the complex fabric of interpersonal relationships present in a human community. God wanted to enter into the life and history of a people. 7. I like to contemplate the holiness present in the patience of God’s people: in those parents who raise their children with immense love, in those men and women who work hard to support their families, in the sick, in elderly religious who never lose their smile. In their daily perseverance I see the holiness of the Church militant. Very often it is a holiness found in our next-door neighbours, those who, living in our midst, reflect God’s presence. We might call them “the middle class of holiness”.[4] The Holy Father has a way of using simple language to remind us of deep truths. May ever statue and every sacred image in our beauti-ful church be a reminder to us that we are called to be "the saints next door", that all of us are called to be holy.
God bless, Father Jonathan

BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST Throughout the Easter season, all three of the Sunday readings are taken from the New Testament—the Christian scriptures. Together they explore what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the One who fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish scriptures. Today’s selections refer to our human weakness, yet they emphasize the forgiveness and peace that are available to those who put their faith in “Jesus Christ the righteous one” (1 John 2:2). In the Acts of the Apostles Peter invites everyone to “repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away” (Acts 3:19). The First Letter of John calls Jesus Christ “expiation for our sins” (1 John 2:2). Finally, in the Gospel Jesus greets the disciples with “Peace” and urges them to preach “repentance, for the forgiveness of sins” (Luke 24:47).

CREDENDO IN GESU’ CRISTO
Gesù, venendo nel mondo, aveva come scopo ultimo della sua vita la salvezza dell’umanità. Per questo, oltre che preoccuparsi di operare la salvezza degli uomini per mezzo della sua passione, morte e risurrezione, provvide a far giungere la salvezza a tutti i popoli della terra per mezzo dell’opera della Chiesa. A tale scopo, fin dall’inizio della sua vita pubblica, si scelse dei discepoli perché stessero con lui, perché, vivendo con lui, seguendo i suoi esempi e le sue istruzioni, fossero formati per diventare suoi testimoni qualificati tra le genti. Gesù li formò innanzitutto alla sottomisione alla volontà del Padre, cioè all’amore della croce e allo svuotamento di se stessi (Mt 16,24-25) e li consacrò alla salvezza delle anime (Gv 17,18-20). Apparendo ai suoi apostoli, dopo la sua risurrezione, Gesù completò la formazione e l’insegnamento dato ai suoi discepoli; rivelando loro la verità del Vangelo, dette una pratica dimostrazione della realtà della vita eterna. Aprì in tal modo le loro menti alla comprensione delle Scritture e dei suoi insegnamenti, per renderli suoi testimoni autentici (cf. At 2,21-22), perché per mezzo loro la sua salvezza arrivasse a tutti gli uomini. Ogni cristiano oggi è chiamato a diventare un testimone autentico di Gesù, rivivendo in se stesso il mistero pasquale. La sua formazione cristiana è completa quando la sua vita si apre generosamente all’opera di evangelizzazione e di
salvezza dei fratelli. © lachiesa.it WINGS
Faith furnishes prayer with wings, without which it cannot soar to Heaven.

Sant’Anselmo
Il celeberrimo Sant'Anselmo è una tra le più grandi glorie del Piemonte e della Valle d'Aosta, essendo nato verso il 1033 ad Aosta da madre piemontese. I suoi genitori erano nobili e ricchi: sua madre Ermem-berga era una perfetta madre di famiglia, mentre suo padre Gandolfo viveva immerso nei suoi impegni secolari. Anselmo sin dalla sua infanzia sognò di po-ter raggiungere Dio e nella sua semplicità ipotizzava che risiedesse sulla sommità delle montagne. Già avido di sapere, fu affidato ad un parente per un'accu-rata educazione, ma non essendo stato compreso dal brutale maestro cadde in una terribile crisi d'ipocon-dria. Per guarirlo occorsero tutto il tatto e l'amorevo-lezza della mamma, la quale finalmente lo affidò poi ai benedettini d'Aosta. All'età di quindici anni Ansel-mo iniziò a sentire il desiderio di farsi monaco, ma il padre non ne volle sapere preferendo farlo erede dei suoi averi. Le attrattive del mondo e le passioni prevalsero allora sul giovane, specialmente dopo la morte della madre. Il padre, che morì poi monaco, lo prese in tale avversione che Anselmo decise di ab-bandonare la famiglia e la patria in compagnia di un servo. © santibeati.com
CREER EN JESUCRISTO Durante todo el Tiempo Pascual, las tres lecturas del domingo son tomadas del Nuevo Testamento, la parte cristiana de la Sagrada Escritura. Juntas exploran qué significa creer que Jesús es el Cristo, aquél que cumplió las profecías de la Sagrada Escritura judía. Las selecciones de hoy aluden a nuestra debilidad humana; sin embargo, hacen hincapié en el perdón y la paz que son posibles para quienes tienen fe en “Jesucristo, el Justo” (1 Juan 2:2). En los Hechos de los Apóstoles, Pedro nos dice a todos “arrepiéntanse y conviértanse, para que se borren sus pecados” (Hechos 3:19). La primera carta del apóstol san Juan dice que Jesucristo es “víctima de expiación por nuestros pecados” (1 Juan 2:2). Por último, en el Evangelio, Jesús saluda a los discípulos diciéndoles: “Paz” y los insta a predicar “la necesidad de volverse a Dios y el perdón de los pecados” (Lucas 24:47).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1563 el Concilio de Trento estableció que todos los católicos debían recibir la comunión por lo menos una vez al año, de preferencia, durante el Tiempo de Pascua, los 50 días desde la Pascua Florida a la Pascua de Pentecostés. En Chile los sacerdotes en siglos pasa-dos llevaban la Eucaristía a todos aquellos que no pu-dieron asistir a Misa en la Pascua Florida. Comenzan-do con el Segundo Domingo de Pascua y acompañados de huasos (vaqueros) quienes los protegían de bandi-dos llevando el Sacramento en cálices de plata por toda la región. Esto llegó a llamarse Cuasimodo, en base a la frase inicial de la Misa del Segundo Domingo de Pascua: Quasi modo géniti infantes (Casi como recién nacidos). Hoy día la fiesta también es conocida como “correr a Cristo,” por el hecho de llevar a Cristo en carretas decoradas por las calles de los pueblitos mientras los niños corren por delante gritando “¡Viva Cristo Rey!” De esta manera los niños anuncian la venida de Cristo, algo que todo cristiano debería hacer con hechos y pa-labras todos los días de año.
