“We must develop the practice of making frequent acts of the desire to know God and ourselves. This will lead us to make the repeated acts of love

which we owe Him and to avoid anything that is displeasing to Him. We must often abandon ourselves to Him, show Him our hearts filled with trust and gratitude; and try from time to time to whisper prayers to Him.” -St. Louise de Marillac- (Gibson and Kneaves, Praying with Louise, p.95)

Respect Life Judith Hyatt

The Lenten journey is now complete, its mission of re-newal and preparation to receive new life fulfilled. The call to worship the Risen Lord has been re-ceived, and we gather to experience together the con-soling presence of Christ in word and sacrament. We are at our best today, crowded and cramped to be sure, but the fullest sign of who we are meant to be. Christ has claimed us in the waters of baptism, we have acquired wonder-ful companions, and together we can accomplish great things. This is the day for rekindling the old

flames of baptismal commit-ment, so we light the paschal candle, and by its light we make yet again the ancient promises to reject evil’s grip and empty promises. Today we do not recite the Creed, but respond with one voice to age-old questions. New life has to be nurtured, both the life of the newly baptized and the renewed life of those who have passed through Lent’s refining prayer, fast-ing, and giving alms. At any

Mass during the next fifty days, you may be sur-prised by grace and splashed by water! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Treasures from our Tradition

The Diocese of Birmingham Catechetical

Institute presents:

“The Doctrine of Creation” Wednesday, April 30, 2014

7:00pm Cathedral of Saint Paul, Cathedral Life Center, Birmingham, Alabama

with Hugh Owen, Director of the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, video presenter,

in a question/answer session following the film.

“Know that you are not alone, separated, abandoned or use-less. You have been called by Christ and are His living and transparent image.[…] You are the brothers of the suffering Christ, and with Him, if you wish, you are saving the world.” — Pope Paul VI, To the Poor, the Sick and the Suffering, 1965

In thanksgiving for the gift of human life: May we experience the joy of the Resurrection And praise our Lord for every human person; We pray to the Lord:

St. William Catholic Church has again chosen to partner with Life-

CHRIST HAS RISEN Where is your sting, O death? Where is your victory, O hell? Christ has risen, and you are overthrown. Christ has risen, and the demons have fallen. Christ has risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ has risen, and life reigns. Christ has risen, and not one dead rests in the grave. For Christ having risen from the dead became the first-fruits of them that slept. To him be glory and majesty to ages of ages. Amen. —Byzantine Pentekostarion

Domingo de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor

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 es-conder huevos hervidos y pin-tados ha tomado nueva vida entre los mexicoamericanos. Cada Cuaresma mi mamá solía guardar los cascarones de los huevos que nos comía-mos. Recuerdo con alegría la costumbre de colorear los cascarones el Sábado de Gloria para que la coneja nos los

escondiera para la Pascua. Al día siguiente, después de Misa nos reuníamos a buscar casca-rones y romperlos sobre la cabeza de quien se arrimara, para bañarlos con el confeti multicolor. La costumbre de celebrar la Pascua con casca-rones decorados es una bella tradición. Esta costumbre muestra que todas las nacio-nes pueden agregar a la Igle-sia cristiana tradiciones pro-pias de su cultura, ya que Je-sucristo dio su vida por todas ellas. Es justo celebrar la Re-surrección del autor de la vida

con símbolos de fe-cundidad y todos los colores del gozo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

ALELUYA Siempre di aleluya, sin importar el momento del día, sin importar la época de la vida. —San Benito

¿QUÉ LES PARECE? “¿Qué les parece?” es la pregunta que une a las tres lecturas de hoy. Imagínense el choque que estremeció a Jerusalén esta primera mañana de Pascua. ¡El cuerpo de Jesús no estaba! Cuando Pedro pronunció las palabras de la primera lectura de hoy, habían pasado cincuenta días y por eso empezó diciendo: “Ustedes saben lo su-cedido en toda Judea sobre Jesús de Nazaret . . .” Por supuesto sabían lo ocurrido, pero en el Evangelio de hoy nos transportamos al primer día. Nos encontramos con María Magdalena exclamando: “¡No sabemos dónde lo han puesto!” ¿Qué sabemos nosotros? En la segunda lectura Pa-blo pregunta: “¿No saben que basta un poco de levadu-ra para transformar toda la masa?” ¿Conocemos el po-der de nuestra propia fe? ¿Sabemos el efecto que tene-mos en los demás?

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Pedro es un testigo: el Señor ha resu-citado (Hch 10:34a, 37-43). Salmo — Este es el día del triunfo del Señor. Aleluya (Salmo 118 [117]). (1) Segunda lectura — Todos los bautizados, eleven su corazón al cielo (Colosenses 3:1-4) o (2) Segunda lectura — Cristo, nuestra Pascua, fue sacrificado; por tanto celebremos (1 Corintios 5:6b-8). Evangelio — Tres testigos, María, Pedro y Juan; cada uno responde a la tumba vacía (Juan 20:1-9) ó
