It is with bittersweet emotions that we face Monsignor James Harris’s transfer to Mother Cabrini Church on May 1st. We wish him well on his new assignment, but we will surely miss him! The Parish Council, united with our parish community, wish to bid him farewell with a St. John Neumann despedida. Everyone is invited to attend a Pot Luck dinner and bring your favorite side dish, salad, or dessert along to share with the rest of us. We will provide the main dish, barbecue on a bun, and a delicious cake. You can call the office with any ques-tions or contact Lily Castillo at (956)740-6968. Let’s show Monsignor Harris how much we appreciate his dedication and at St. John Neumann. God bless your week.

Todos están invitados a asistir a una cena de Pot Luck y traer su plato favorito, ensalada, o postre para compartir. La parro-quia se encarga del plato principal, la barbacoa en un pan-ecillo, y un pastel delicioso. Puede llamar a la oficina para cualquier pregunta o llame a Lily Castillo al (956)740-6968. Mostrémos a Monsignor Harris cuanto apreciamos su dedica-ción y trabajo en nuestra parroquia St. John Neumann. Dios bendiga su semana.

THE LORD 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 understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead. John 20:1-9
DOMINGO DE PASCUA DE LA RESURRECCIÓN DEL SEÑOR
El primer día después del sábado, estando todavía oscuro, fue María Magdalena al sepulcro y vio removida la piedra que lo cerraba. Echó a correr, llegó a la casa donde esta-ban Simón Pedro y el otro discípulo, a quien Jesús amaba, y les dijo: "Se han llevado del sepulcro al Señor y no sabe-mos dónde lo habrán puesto". Salieron Pedro y el otro discípulo camino del sepulcro. Los dos iban corriendo jun-tos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más aprisa que Pedro y llegó primero 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 sepul-cro. Contempló los lienzos puestos en el suelo y el sudario, que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, puesto no con los lienzos en el suelo, sino doblado en sitio aparte. Enton-ces entró también el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro, y vio y creyó, porque hasta entonces no habían entendido las Escrituras, según las cuales Jesús debía resucitar de entre los muertos.
