Happy Easter! The Easter Vigil is a great reminder of the great love that God has for His Church and for all us. It is also a great reminder that we are all one family, and all of us are called to grow in our faith and holiness. I want to give a warm welcome to all those in the RCIA, especially all those who were fully initiated in the Catholic faith during the Easter Vigil this weekend. Please continue to pray for them and for our great parish of St. Thomas Aquinas. May God bless all of us as we continue to share the joy of the Resurrection, Fr. Abel

April 6th is 1st Friday, we will have ad-oration of the Blessed Sacrament from 9am to 11:50am closing with Benedic-tion and followed by mass at 12pm.

ANUNCIOS

Hora santa de la fiesta de la Divina Mise-

Hace un par de semanas tuvimos algunos de nuestros estudiantes de confirmación recaudando fondos para nuestra parroquia mediante la venta de productos horneados. Queremos expresar-les nuestra gratitud a ellos y a

todos los que apoyaron comprando. Gracias por ayudar a la Iglesia de Santo Tomás de Aquino.

¡Felices Pascuas! La Vigilia Pascual es un gran recordatorio del gran amor que Dios tiene por su Igle-sia y por todos nosotros. También es un gran recordatorio de que todos somos una sola familia, y to-dos estamos llamados a crecer en nuestra fe y santidad. Quiero dar una cálida bienvenida a todos aquellos en el RICA, especialmente a todos aquellos que fueron iniciados completamente en la fe ca-tólica durante la Vigilia Pascual este fin de semana. Por favor, continúen orando por ellos y por nues-tra gran parroquia de Santo Tomás de Aquino. Que Dios nos bendiga a todos mientras continuamos compartiendo la alegría de la Resurrección, P. Abel

Gospel: Jn 20:1-9

R. Alleluia, alleluia. Christ, our paschal lamb, has been

sacrificed; let us then feast with joy in the Lord.

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

R. Aleluya, aleluya. Cristo, nuestro cordero pascual, ha si-

do inmolado; celebremos, pues, la Pascua.

R. Aleluya.

On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him." So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet under-stand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.

Monday: Acts 2:14, 22-33; Ps 16:1-2a, 5, 7-11; Mt 28:8-15 Tuesday: Acts 2:36-41; Ps 33:4-5, 18-20, 22; Jn 20:11-18 Wednesday: Acts 3:1-10; Ps 105:1-4, 6-9; Lk 24:13-35 Thursday: Acts 3:11-26; Ps 8:2ab, 5-9; Lk 24:35-48 Friday: Acts 4:1-12; Ps 118:1-2, 4, 22-27a; Jn 21:1-14 Saturday: Acts 4:13-21; Ps 118:1, 14-15ab, 16-21; Mk 16:9-15 Sunday: Acts 4:32-35; Ps 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24; 1 Jn 5:1-6; Jn 20:19-31

El primer día después del sábado, es-tando todavía oscuro, fue María Mag-dalena al sepulcro y vio removida la piedra que lo cerraba. Echó a correr, llegó a la casa donde estaban Simón Pedro y el otro discípulo, a quien Jesús amaba, y les dijo: "Se han llevado del sepulcro al Señor y no sabemos dónde lo habrán puesto". Salieron Pedro y el otro discípulo ca-mino del sepulcro. Los dos iban co-rriendo juntos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más aprisa que Pedro y llegó pri-mero al sepulcro, e inclinándose, miró

los lienzos puestos en el suelo, pero no entró. En eso llegó también Simón Pedro, que lo venía siguiendo, y entró en el sepulcro. Contempló los lienzos puestos en el suelo y el sudario, que ha-bía estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, puesto no con los lienzos en el suelo, sino doblado en sitio aparte. Entonces entró también el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro, y vio y creyó, porque hasta entonces no habían entendi-do las Escrituras, según las cuales Jesús debía resucitar de entre los muertos.
