Pastor’s Corner
The Lord is risen, Alleluia!!! We woke up this morning with this great news! On this day, our Lord Jesus gives us a command, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen (Mt 28:7). We feel as if this invita on is also directed to us to announce to the men and women of our mes this message of joy and hope because Jesus who was crucified, is raised. Death no longer has the last word. The tomb does not have the last word. Life does! This is our certainty. In light of this event which cons tutes the true and real news of history and the cosmos, we are called to be new men and women in accordance with the Spirit, confirming the value of life. We will be men and women of resurrec on, men and women of life, if in the midst of events that afflict the world today, in the midst of worldliness which distances us from God, we will know how to offer gestures of solidarity and gestures of welcome, strengthening the universal desire for peace and the hope for an environment free degrada on. These are common and human signs, which if supported and kept alive by faith in the risen Lord, acquire a power that is well beyond our abili es. And this is so because Christ is alive and working in history through his Holy Spirit. He redeems our shortcomings and reaches each human heart and gives back hope to whomever is oppressed and suffering. This is the joy of the Resurrec on (Pope Frances). Happy Easter to all! Es Señor ha resucitado, Aleluya! Despertamos esta mañana con esta gran no cia! En este día, Nuestro Señor Jesús nos da hado este mandado, vayan pronto y digan a mis discípulos que he resucitado (Mt. 28,7). Parece ser como si esta invitación de anunciar a los hombres y mujeres de nuestro empo este mensaje de gozo y esperanza del Jesús resucitado, estuviera dirigido a nosotros también. La muerte no ene la úl ma palabra. La tumba no ene la úl ma palabra. La vida sí! Esta es nuestra certeza. A la luz de este evento el cual cons tuye la
verdadera y real no cia de la historia y del cosmos, estamos llamados a ser hombres y mujeres nuevos de acuerdo con el Espíritu, que confirma el valor de la vida. Seremos hombres y mujeres de la resurrección, hombres y mujeres de la vida, incluso en medio de lo que aflige al mundo hoy, y en medio de lo mundano que nos separa de Dios. Sabremos cómo ofrecer gestos de solidaridad y de bienvenida, fortaleciendo el deseo universal de paz y esperanza por un medio ambiente libre de degradación. Estos son signos humanos y comunes, que si los apoyamos y los mantenemos vivos por la fe en Cristo resucitado, adquirirán un poder que va más allá de nuestras habilidades. Y esto se debe a que Cristo está vivo y está ac vo en la historia a través de su Espíritu. Cristo nos redime de nuestras limitaciones, busca nuestros corazones, y da esperanza a todos aquellos que sufren y están oprimidos. Esto es el gozo de la Resurrección (Papa Francisco).
Feliz Pascua a todos!
Paz,
Fr Ignacio

Domingo de Pascua | 1 DE ABRIL DE 2018
Gospel Medita on The first light of Easter dawn had begun to creep over the horizon. The steadfast women from Friday's gory events are returning again to the body of their Lord. "Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" How quickly we return to mundane concerns and how thoroughly God wants to surprise us! Imagine the u er shock upon seeing the stone rolled away, the tomb empty, and a stranger clothed in light proclaiming the impossible. "You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here." He is risen indeed and the world will never be the same. We know from other Gospel passages that Mary Magdalene made haste to the disciples to proclaim the Good News. We know that Peter and John rushed to the tomb to see for themselves. We know that the wonder and awe of the Resurrec on permeated the lives of the apostles un l their own dying day. Can we comprehend the u erly world‐changing nature of this surprise? The historical reanima on of a dead man is of no real value to us. But we know that Easter Sunday is so much more. By the Resurrec on of Jesus, life has triumphed over death for us all. The gates of heaven are opened and the treasury of graces is poured out upon the here and now. This Resurrec on Day, let us draw near, amazed yet unafraid, to the risen Christ. Let us recall the words of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, "Jesus is not a character from the past. He lives, and he walks before us as one who is alive, he calls us to follow him, the living one, and in this way to discover for ourselves the path of life" (Easter Vigil, April 15, 2006).
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO Ha resucitado, no está aquí. Igual que las mujeres del Evangelio, vamos de la tumba vacía, de la muerte a la vida. Aun más allá, de encontrando vida, debemos ser esa vida. Se puede ser esa vida, porque Cristo Resucitado vive en nosotros, creciendo en nuestros valores y en nuestras acciones. Por eso, está es la nueva era de ser discípulos misioneros de Jesucristo. ¡Aleluya! ¿Qué nos falta para ser nueva vida? Ser como las mujeres a pesar de su miedo creyeron lo que escucharon. "No se asusten. Si ustedes buscan a Jesús Nazareno, el crucificad, no está aquí, ha resucitado". (Marcos 16:6). Ahí, precisamente esta el secreto de este Domingo de Pascua. Escuchar y creer, e ir a anunciar el acontecimiento a la familia y amigos. Estamos viviendo un empo de muchos miedos, las no cias que escuchamos y vemos por los medios de comunicación no son alentadoras, el desanimo social es contundente. Pero el que escoge creer en la presencia de Cristo Resucitado ‐‐‐ es guiado por él a con nuar con sus buenos valores y acciones. El punto es no caer en desánimos. Las mujeres buscaban un cadáver, pero encontraron una misión muy dis nta, unida a la vida no a la muerte. Ellas, de ser mujeres miedosas se han conver do a través de los empos en mujeres de la Pascua. ¡Tes gos vivos de Jesús! Quizá, se piense por fin se ha llegado al final. Pero en realidad estamos al principio. Recordemos, que, todo empezó en Galilea con Jesús de Nazaret. Este es el compromiso ser tes gos y dar tes monio del Resucitado. ¡Aleluya, aleluya!
