From our Pastor......
Dear Family in Christ,
Easter has arrived about as early as possible this year.
Lent began in mid-winter and the first day of spring
fell on Palm Sunday, the beginning of our Holy Week.
Something about this season of rebirth, to see our
tawny hills painted in living green, inspires within
us an inexpressible hope and wonder. In some way,
we are again young and the world is filled with every
possibility. New life emerges from roots and bulbs
which had withered, or seemingly from nowhere at all.
Could Easter come at any time other than spring?
Easter is the springtime of our faith. Wherever we may
be along life’s journey, we sense more than we see,
the possibility of renewed life or new life, in the very
air we breathe and in the faith we share. Jesus said
to his disciples that he came into the world that we
might have life, and have it in abundance. Easter is the
season in which we open our minds, and hearts, and
lives to the possibility of embracing abundance; life
overflowing and unending. The sweet smell of Spring
carried on the morning breeze is a sample, a foretaste
as St. Paul might say, of the eternal Spring our Lord has
prepared for us in his love and kindness.
There are some for whom this season may be their last
spring on earth with its many joys and sorrows;
only to rejoice in that first taste of eternal spring in
God’s Kingdom. This is the enduring mystery of
Easter. That knowledge, that faith, and that hope are
what make us to be Easter people throughout the year.
Our soul embraces all that this time on earth presents
to us, even as our spirit lives already with a view to the
everlasting. That is the Paschal Mystery. That is what
Christ our Lord lived and suffered to reveal to us, to
reassure us with a hope that reaches beyond whatever
limitations surround our present lives. I invite you to
put on your Easter best, to put on Christ as St. Paul
suggests. And come celebrate the spiritual springtime
of our lives in faith throughout the Easter season, as
disciples of Jesus Christ our Lord.
On behalf of Fr. Braulio and Fr. Jim, Deacon Chuck
and Deacon Jim and all the staff at Old Mission I wish
you a most Happy Easter. May God bless you this
season and pour out His grace upon your lives and
good works.

Divine Mercy Sunday, celebrated the Sunday after
Easter Sunday, is a relatively new addition to the
Roman Catholic liturgical calendar.
Celebrating the Divine Mercy of Jesus
Christ, as revealed by Christ Himself

this feast was extended to the entire
Catholic Church by Pope John Paul
II on April 30, 2000, the day that he
canonized Saint Faustina.

to dispel the many anti-Christian feelings. Please help us to

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
March 27, 2016
Easter Sunday of the
Resurrection of the Lord
On Friday afternoon when Jesus
died, the women had not been able
to finish the customary preparation
for burial. The Sabbath began
at sundown on Friday, so Mary
of Magdala hurried to the tomb
Sunday morning to complete her
task. She found the tomb empty.
Certain that Jesus’ body had been
stolen, she ran back to get the
other disciples. Peter and the other
disciple also found an empty tomb
but with Jesus’ clothing rolled
neatly and placed where his body
had been. The disciples still didn’t
understand about the resurrection
and Mary wept. As she cried,
two angels appeared asking why
she was crying. She then saw a
gardener and asked him where
the body might be. When he called
her by name, Mary immediately
recognized Jesus.
Reflection question:
Adults: What change could the hope
of the Resurrection of Christ inspire
you to make?
Children: What bad habit would
you like to “clear out” during the
hopeful time of this Easter season?
Reflection and questions from RCL Benziger.

LA VOZ LATINA
Domingo de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor
Y la tristeza se convirtió en alegría y la alegría
en esperanza.
Creer en la resurrección de Jesús nos da la
seguridad de que hay un futuro para cada ser
humano. Es la respuesta de Dios a nuestras
añoranzas de vida eterna. Es la prueba contundente
de que Dios existe y de que Él es amor infinito, que
sobrepasa el dolor, el sufrimiento y la muerte.
El Padre resucitó a su Hijo para que nosotros no
vivamos en la desesperación. Esta vida tiene de todo.
Tiene penas, tiene dolor, tiene sufrimientos y muerte;
pero también tiene alegrías, tiene placeres, gozos,
momentos de felicidad indescriptible, con los cuales
se alimenta nuestra convicción de que los males no
pueden conducirnos a la derrota; siempre contamos
con la fuerza de un Dios que nos invita a contemplar
su victoria.
En estos días hemos contemplado los días
más trágicos de la vida de Jesús, hechos que nos
conmueven hasta en lo más profundo de nuestro ser.
Pero hoy, dos mil años después, El sigue sufriendo
en la persona de nuestros prójimos y nos pide que
de igual manera nos conmovamos por las tristezas
y situaciones de carencia y dolor que viven nuestros
hermanos; que no nos conformemos con ver las
injusticias con las que se atropella y se condena a los
demás; sino que nos comprometamos en la lucha por
un mundo mejor.
Ahora se nos invita a contemplar al Resucitado para
que pensemos que nuestras luchas no serán en vano,
sino que tendrán una recompensa grande al llamarnos
a resucitar con El; lo cual no sucede de a gratis, hay
que comprometerse y luchar sin desfallecer.
¡Felices Pascuas de Resurrección!
P. Braulio
NOS ACORDAMOS DE TI
Nos acordamos de ti, oh Jesús resucitado,
el primero de entre los muertos.
Tu resurrección destruye el poder de la muerte
y cambia las lágrimas de agonía a lágrimas de alegría.
¡Bendito eres!

Domingo de Pascua: la Resurección del Señor
Este es el día en que actuó el Señor, sea
nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo. ¡Aleluya!
En este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
la Pascua continua siendo la victoria de
Dios misericordioso que levanta a Jesús
“el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los
muertos y el soberano de los reyes de la
tierra” (Apocalipsis 1:5), “el primogénito
entre muchos hermanos” (Romanos
8:29), venciendo a la muerte en todas sus
formas, en todos nos nosotros en la familia
humana. En el Evangelio de la Vigilia, este año
el de Lucas, ensajeros celestiales enviaron a las mujeres
a anunciar (24:6). En el Evangelio de Juan, la tumba
vacía igualmente “envía” a María Magdalena, Pedro y el
Discípulo Amado, quienes creían aunque no entendían
plenamente. Por último, en la tarde de este domingo de
Pascua, el Evangelio de Lucas que cuenta la historia de
Emaús, nos envía como “misioneros de misericordia”,
asegurándonos que encontraremos al Señor Resucitado,
hoy y cada día en “la persona desconocida” que
encontramos en nuestro camino de la vida, en la “Palabra
que hace que arda nuestros corazones” y “al partir el pan”
(ver Lucas 24:32, 35).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hace casi dos mil años María Magdalena fue muy de
mañana al sepulcro de Jesús. Fue a rezar como muchos
hacemos ante la tumba de un ser amado. Esa mañana ella
se convertiría en apóstol de los apóstoles, primera testigo
de Jesús resucitado de entre los muertos. Siglos después
el testimonio de la Magdalena sigue siendo importante
en la historia cristiana. Durante estos días en Anguiano,
España, hombres y jóvenes de las viejas familias de la
zona bailan y caminan con una pequeña imagen de la
Magdalena. Se visten con camisas y faldones largos de
muchos colores, mostrando la belleza de la diversidad
hispana. Ellos bailan en honor de esa santa mujer de
Magdalena y lo hacen sobre andas de casi un metro
de altura. Ellos toman la imagen desde la iglesia de su
pueblo en las montañas en el norte del país y la llevan
bailando por las calles empedradas bajando al santuario
que han preparado para ella. Todo el pueblo reza y festeja
en honor de la santa que fue buscando un difunto y se
encontró con el Señor de la vida eterna.
