From Bishop Stephen Jensen’s Office

Bishop Stephen Jensen announces, with sincere regret, that we will bid farewell to Fr. Melvin Pinto, OCD, and

Fr. Ronald Sequeira, OCD, at the end of July. Their Carmelite Provincial is seeking to concentrate their community’s

efforts on their charism of spiritual direction, and the building up of their formation house in Vancouver.

He has also announced the appointment of the Very Reverend Rectorino Tolentino, Jr. as the Rector of the Cathedral

beginning August 1, 2017.

POPE FRANCIS GENERAL AUDIENCE

Wednesday, 17 May 2017

Dear Brothers and Sisters: In our catechesis on Christian hope, we now reflect on Mary Magdalen as an apostle of the

hope brought by the Gospel. Saint John tells us on Easter morning Mary had gone to the tomb of Jesus; she saw that it

was empty, and returned to tell this news to Peter and the other disciples. Returning to the tomb, yet still not

understanding what had happened, Mary encounters the Risen Lord, but does not recognize him until he calls her by

name. This first appearance of Jesus after rising from the dead is thus something intensely personal. We know that just

as he did with Mary Magdalen, so too Jesus calls each of us by name and fills us with joy at his presence. Our encounter

with him brings freedom and opens up new vistas of life; it transforms our world and brings undying hope. The risen

Lord tells Mary not to cling to him, but to go and tell the good news of his resurrection to the others. Mary Magdalen

thus becomes the apostle of Christian hope. By her prayers, may we be encounter anew the risen Lord, who calls us by

name, turns our sorrow into joy, and sends us forth to proclaim by our lives that he is truly risen.
