THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

(Readings: Acts 10:34a, 37-43 — Colossians 3:1-4 — John 20:1-9)

Seeing and Believing — In many languages we say, “Seeing is believing.” When the Beloved Disciple entered the tomb of Jesus, “He saw and believed.” This is not a case of “seeing is believing.” What did he

see? The emptiness of the tomb. In other words: nothing. And he believed. The tomb had become, as it were, a portal to the deepest conviction of faith. The first persons who went up to the place where Our

Lady appeared, above the village of La Salette, saw nothing. Of course they saw the all the same things they would have seen before the Apparition, but they saw nothing that could confirm the story told by

Maximin and Mélanie. And anyone looking at those two children would not be spontaneously inclined to believe them. They were nobodies. In the first reading, Cornelius and his family believed Peter’s words. They heard and believed. And so it continues to this very day. As St. Paul says in Romans 10:14 and 17, “How can they believe in him of whom they have not heard?... Faith comes from what is heard.” Most of

those who listened to what Maximin and Mélanie had to say, became believers. There was a quality of truth in their words, accompanied by something new in their manner, whenever they spoke of their

“Beautiful Lady.” They had become “witnesses,” not only because they saw and heard something, but because they faithfully carried out their commission to make it known. From a material point of view,

none of us living today can possibly have seen what the Apostles and other witnesses of the Resurrection saw. From another point of view, however, most of us have seen, in the bleakest moments of life, what Mary Magdalen and Peter and the Beloved Disciple saw: emptiness, nothing, a void. They had every

reason to lose hope, but one of them, at least, believed nonetheless. Our darkest moments, then, can be a portal to faith. Like the empty tomb, they do not have to be the end, but a glorious new beginning.

The Lord is truly risen!

“Let Your Light Shine”

The reading from the Acts of the Apostles reminds us that we, too, bear witness to the risen Lord. The presence of Christ is within us, making us new, trans-forming us, turning us into stewards of the Good News. There is no more me for holding grudges, disliking others, seeking vengeance, maintaining old prejudices, tolera ng bias. We are Christ’s joy and instruments of his peace. Our world is reordered. Re-flect on how we are called to let Christ’s forgiveness, reconcilia on and love permeate our lives. We are Easter people. Rejoice! He is risen! Alleluia!

Easter Greeting 2017

Dear Parishioners,

“Fearful yet overjoyed,” Mary Magdalene and the other Mary hurried from the empty tomb when Jesus “met them on the way.” Fear and doubt can make us move even faster in our world that is defined by “rush, rush, rush.” Fear can make us want to separate ourselves more quickly from our past of missed opportunities of grace, failures and mistakes. Behind us are unfulfilled resolutions, even sin that have kept us from encounters with Jesus that would certainly help us to know ourselves better. In front of us on this Easter 2017 is Jesus, waiting to meet us “along the way.”

Fear can have us stay mired in our past patterns of behavior, still disguised in our “untrue” selves. Joy can us have spring forward with energy in search of our true selves. Fear makes us duck and hide. Joy makes us sing and dance. And the difference is Jesus. Perhaps we are “cradle Catholics” and have known him from our first steps. Maybe we have just met him in our later years. Most assuredly, when we run away from ourselves, and to Jesus, he will be found.

On behalf of the Parish Staff and the La Salette Community in the Rectory, I wish each and every one the joy of the Easter encounter with the Lord.

Reflexión….

INVITACION Si quieres conocer más sobre la Virgen María a través de las escritu-ras, te invitamos a un taller de 6 clases, ofrecido por el Sr. Eduardo Domínguez, comenzando el próximo martes 4 de abril, a las 7:00PM en el Centro Parroquial. En este taller te llevaremos a escudriñar las escrituras como preparación para la celebración del Centenario de las Apariciones de la Virgen de Fátima el 13 de mayo de 2017. ¡TE ESPERAMOS!

Ver para creer (Lecturas del Domingo: Hechos 4:37-43; Col. 3:1-4 o 1 Cor. 5:1-8; Juan 20:1-9) En muchos idiomas usamos la frase, “ver para creer” Cuando el discípulo amado entró a la tumba de Jesús; “Vio y creyó” aquí no se trata de un caso de “ver para creer”. ¿Qué es lo que vio? La tumba vacía. En otras palabras: no vio nada. Y creyó. La tumba se con-vir ó, así como estaba, en un portal hacia la más profunda convicción de fe. Las primeras personas que subieron al lugar donde Nuestra Señora se apareció, más arriba de la villa de La Sale e, no vieron nada. Bueno, sí, por supuesto que vieron todo igual como lo hubieran podido ver antes de la aparición, pero no vieron nada que confirmaría el relato contado por Maximino y Melania.

Y ninguno al ver a los dos niños podría espontáneamente sen rse inclinado a creerles. Esos dos ni-ños no eran nadie. En la primera lectura, Cornelio y su familia creyeron en las palabras de Pedro. Oyeron y creyeron. Y así las cosas con núan hasta el día de hoy. Como San Pablo dice en Romanos 10,14 ¿Cómo creerán si no han oído hablar de él?... La fe nace de la predicación.

La mayoría de los que escucharon lo que Maximino y Melania tenían para decir, se convir eron en creyentes. Había un toque de verdad en sus palabras, acompañadas por algo nuevo en la manera en que contaban las cosas cada vez que hablaban de su “Bella Señora” Ellos se convir eron en “tes gos” no solo porque vieron y oyeron algo, sino porque fielmente siguieron adelante con la mis-ión de hacer conocer el mensaje. Desde un punto de vista material, ninguno de los que vivimos en el presente pudo haber visto lo que los apóstoles y otros tes gos de la Resurrección vieron. Desde otro punto de vista, sin embargo, la mayoría de nosotros hemos visto, en los momentos más sombríos de nuestra vida, lo que María Magdalena y Pedro y el discípulo amado vieron: el vacio, la nada, lo hueco. Ellos tenían todas las razones para perder la esperanza, pero uno de ellos, al menos, creyó, a pesar de todo. Nuestros momentos más oscuros, por lo tanto, pueden llegar a ser un portal hacia la fe. Como la tumba vacía, esos momentos no enen que ser el final, sino un glorioso nuevo comienzo. ¡El Señor verdaderamente ha resucitado! (traducido por Hno. Moisés Rueda MS, Cochabamba Bolivia)

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Hace 3,000 años los chinos pintaban huevos de pato para celebrar la primavera. Los egipcios pintaban huevos en honor de la diosa Ishtar, mientras ingleses y alemanes lo hacían para celebrar al sol. Eventualmente la práctica continuó en honor de la resu-rrección de Cristo. La costumbre de esconder huevos hervidos y pintados ha tomado nueva vida entre los mexicamericanos. Cada Cuaresma mi mamá solía guardar los cascarones de los huevos que nos comíamos. Recuerdo con alegría la costumbre de colorear los cascaro-nes el Sábado de Gloria para que la coneja nos los escondiera para la Pascua. Al día si-guiente, después de Misa nos reuníamos a buscar cascarones y romperlos sobre la ca-beza de quien se arrimara, para bañarlos con el confeti multicolor. La costumbre de celebrar la Pascua con cascarones decorados es una bella tradi-ción. Esta costumbre muestra que todas las naciones pueden agregar a la Iglesia cris-tiana tradiciones propias de su cultura, ya que Jesucristo dio su vida por todas ellas. Es justo celebrar la Resurrección del autor de la vida con símbolos de fecundidad y todos los colores del gozo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
