Easter Sunday
MENSAJE DEL PASTOR
Page 2
¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya! Ahora podemos decirlo en voz alta. “¡Aleluya!” La Pascua es la
mayor razón por la cual celebramos la vida misma. Tal como la Navidad, es el principio de toda
la vida en Cristo, la Pascua, para nosotros los cristianos, es el final del mismo de antes y la
nueva vida de vivirse en la persona de Cristo, o al menos así es como debería ser. Estamos para
ser Cristo nosotros mismos, a ser Cristo uno al otro y a los que están más allá de nuestro alcance
en nuestra fe. Como católicos, "no somos la expresión de una estructura o de una necesidad
organizacional: incluso con el servicio de nuestra autoridad estamos llamados a ser un símbolo
de la presencia y la acción del resucitado Señor y por lo tanto para construir la comunidad de
amor" ("Dar todo" título de la homilía que dio el Papa Francisco en la profesión de la fe con los
obispos de la Conferencia Italiana Episcopal el 23 de mayo 2013). Esta reflexión humilde de
nuestro muy amado Papa Francisco nos hace pensar una vez más sobre quiénes somos y que
estamos llamados a ser fieles discípulos de Cristo, nuestro Señor resucitado.
Sin duda, este año ha sido un invierno intenso, especialmente cómo experimentamos el frío duro al principio del año.
Pero ahora, al celebrar la Pascua estamos listos para incorporarnos a la suave brisa de la nueva vida que nos rodea con
clima primaveral oficialmente marcando la transición para un verano hermoso. Podemos decir que la Pascua es aquel
momento en que marchamos hacia la plena primavera que cada año nos libera de la esclavitud del frio y la hibernación
de actividades interiores. Finalmente, la vida parece surgir como los narcisos tempranos rompen el suelo, los tulipanes, y
jacintos hacen presencia así como con su belleza para colorear nuestros jardines. Sí, decimos nuestro último adiós al
invierno y le echamos un vistazo con nostalgia a los bruscos cambios en el ritmo de vida.
Hay una gran conmoción de la nueva vida inspirada en el espíritu que nos llevamos con nosotros mismos cuando hemos
de comprender y captar el mensaje de Nuestro Señor y Salvador. Por lo menos podemos decir que entendemos mejor, a
través de los ojos de la fe, lo que Jesús realmente se refirió al decir que "resucitaré de la muerte," a diferencia de los
discípulos de Jesús que no captaron en absoluto el significado de “resucitaré de la muerte”. ¡Sí, somos gente de Pascua!,
y en virtud de ello, muchas familias se reúnen en sus iglesias, los católicos y otras denominaciones, a orar y a vivir esta
gran alegría de haber sido redimido. Lo único que deberíamos luchar es contra el mal, y entender que lo que nos puede
separar de Cristo no es de Dios, pero viene de la fuerza negativa que corrompe el mundo que nos rodea. Pero aún
estamos completamente creados con la gracia redentora de Dios contra todo mal y el pecado ya no tiene poder sobre
nosotros. Tenemos que creerlo y aceptarlo en nuestros corazones que nosotros somos gente de Pascua que tiene nueva
vida en Cristo que nos eleva. En todo momento tendemos volver a los viejos hábitos y maneras de hacer las cosas,
reaccionando a situaciones, intercambiando mal humores del cónyuge, llegando a ser intolerante e impaciente con
nuestros hijos, siendo agresivo hacia los demás, faltando el respeto a los que pasamos por alto y muchas otras actitudes
que pueden atraer a nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa. Pero una vez más, en el umbral de todo, Jesús nos invita a
permanecer siendo "gente de Pascua". En el relato de la resurrección del Evangelio de Juan, María Magdalena se
preocupa sobre el cuerpo del Señor, temiendo que fue robada durante la noche por alguien, pero al ser informados por
Magdalena, Pedro y Juan corren, rápidamente para ver lo que ha ocurrido y Pedro entra en la sala mortuoria donde había
sido puesto el cuerpo del Señor.
Al fin, ven las pruebas que corrige su comprensión borrosa de lo que "resucitar de la muerte" significaba. Ambos creen
y llevan la buena noticia a los otros discípulos. Siempre es una gran idea y se convierte en una realidad, cuando nos
situamos en la historia del Evangelio junto a Pedro y a Juan con el fin de ver por nosotros mismos, que Jesús ha
resucitado y no es sólo la tumba vacía que les ayuda a creer, pero también el paño enrollado que cubría la cabeza
(colocada aparte de la ropa que cubría el cuerpo), que les hace darse cuenta de que Jesús ha tomado vida nuevamente.
Cuando entramos en escrituras sagradas en nuestras propias historias, podemos decir que estábamos allí, con María
Magdalena, con Pedro y Juan cuando aceptan el triunfo final sobre la muerte y entienden el significado de lo que
"resucitar de la muerte" significa.
Que Dios nos ayude a mantener el espíritu de la Pascua por un tiempo muy largo. Feliz Pascua a todos y espero que
siempre mantengamos nuestra unidad en la fe, en amor y perdón.
Padre Ric
PASTOR’S NOTES
Page 3
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Now we can say it out loud! “Hallelujah!!!” Easter is the
greatest reason why we celebrate life itself. Just as Christmas is the beginning of all life in
Christ, Easter is for all Christians the end of the old self and the beginning of the new life to
be lived in the person of Christ, or at least that’s what it should be. We are to become Christ
ourselves, to be Christ to one another and to those beyond the grasp of our faith. As
Catholics, “we are not the expression of a structure or of an organizational need: even with
the service of our authority we are called to be a sign of the presence and action of the risen
Lord, and thus to build up the community of love” (“Giving All” title of the Homily Pope
Francis gave at the Profession of Faith with the Bishops of the Italian Episcopal Conference
on May 23, 2013). This humble reflection of our much loved Pope Francis makes us think
once again about whom we really are and who we are called to be, faithful Disciples of
Christ, our Risen Lord.
It surely has been an intense winter season this year, especially how we experienced the tough cold at the beginning
of it. Now as we celebrate Easter we are ready to merge with the gentle breeze of new life around us. As Spring
weather officially approaches to stay, serving as a transitory moment to a beautiful Summer. We can say that Easter
is that time when we gear towards full springtime which every year liberates us from the bondage of cold and
indoor hibernating activities. Finally, life seems to spring up as the early daffodils break the ground, tulips, and
hyacinths make presence as well with their beauty to color our gardens. Yes, we say our final farewell to winter as
we turn around and nostalgically glance at the rapid change in the rhythm of life.
There is this great commotion of the new inspired life in the spirit that we take with ourselves when we fully
understand and grasp the message of our Savior and Lord. At least we can say for ourselves that we understand
better, through the eyes of faith, what Jesus really meant by saying that he “will rise from the dead,” unlike Jesus’
disciples who did not quite grasp the concept of what “rising from the dead” meant. Yes, we are Easter People! And
by virtue of it, many families gather in their churches, Catholics and other Denominations, to pray and to
experience this great joy of having been redeemed. The only thing we stand together against is evil, and we fully
understand that anything that may separate us from Christ is not from God, but comes from the negative force that
corrupts much of the world around us. But even against all evil we stand fully vested with the redeeming grace of
God and sin no longer has power over us. We need to believe that and embrace it in our hearts if we are Easter
People that have new life in Christ, who lifts us up. At every moment we tend to go along with the old habits and
ways of doing things, reacting to situations, reciprocating moods of the spouse, becoming intolerant and impatient
with our children, aggressiveness towards others, disrespectful with those we overlook, and many other attitudes
that may appeal to our sinful nature. But once again, at the threshold of all that, Jesus invites us to remain being
“Easter People”. In the Resurrection account of the Gospel of John, Mary Magdalene becomes concerned about the
body of the Lord, fearing that it was stolen during the night by someone; upon being informed by Mary Magdalene,
Peter and John run fast to see what has taken place and enter the burial chamber where the Lord’s body had been
laid. To their surprise, they only see the evidence that corrects their blurred-up understanding of what the “rising
from the dead” meant. They both believe and, in turn, bring the good news to the other disciples.
It is always a great thought and becomes a reality, when we place ourselves in the Gospel story-running along with
Peter and John so as to see for ourselves that in fact, Jesus is risen. It is not only the empty tomb that helps them
believe and become coherently sane, but it was also the rolled up cloth that covered the head (placed apart from the
larger linen that covered the body), that makes them realize that Jesus has taken life again. When we enter Sacred
Scriptures through our own story, we can say that we were there - with Mary from Magdala, with Peter and John when they accept the final triumph over death and fully grasp the meaning of what “rising from the dead” means.
May God help us to keep the spirit of Easter for a very long time. Happy Easter to all and may we always keep our
unity in faith and live in love and forgiveness.
