Pastor’s Easter Message — Psalm 118:17 SEEKING Easter Sunday is a day all about seeking. The early Christian communities gathered around the Apostles, seeking more about the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus. Saint Paul told the baptized Colossians to “seek what is above.” Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, seeking to find the Lord’s body so that she could anoint it. We come to church on Easter Sunday seeking many things. For some of us, this is a once‑a‑year journey, when we seek connection with the foundations of the Christian faith. For others, this day is the culmination of a long journey of Lenten repentance. For the newly baptized, this is the first day of a new life filled with promise and expectation. Whatever it is that we seek, let us be inspired by the disciple whom Jesus loved who, when he saw the wrappings of cloth inside the empty tomb, “saw and believed.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Peter is an eyewitness: The Lord is risen (Acts 10:34a, 37-43). Psalm — This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad (Psalm 118).

May you feel the hope of new beginnings , love and happiness during this joyful Easter. Father Alex, Father Rey, Deacon Lerny, Deacon Juan and the Parish Staff My Dear Parishioners, Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection, is the greatest day of the year. It is a day of triumph, happiness and rejoicing. It commemorates the victory of Christ over every worldly evil including sin and death. His resurrection from the dead placed the seal of divinity upon His teachings. That is why at Easter Time the Church sings with joy and gladness. The Resurrection means much more than a happy ending to Calvary. It is the climax of the great drama of our salvation. How proud we should be to profess our faith, to live it, to generously support it and help it bring to others. That pride in our Church led us to fully take part in the recent Holy Week Services and prompted us to receive Holy Communion during the Eucharistic celebrations. Let me take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you, our dear Parishioners and those who worship here at Holy Angels, for particularly keeping this, our Parish of Holy Angels, the fine place of worship which you have helped to maintain over these many years. Thank you very much for your faithful continued support. May the peace and joy that you experience on ‘Easter Morning’ be a foretaste of the eternal happiness that God has prepared for those who love Him. And may the Holy Redeemer bestow on you that peace and happiness which He alone can give. On behalf of the Clergy and the Parish Staff, we wish you a blessed and happy Easter! Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Alex L. Legaspi Pastor Welcome in the Lord to Holy Angels Church We extend our hands and hearts to you here whether longtime parishioners or newly arrived in the parish.

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY El primer domingo de Pascua debió haber sido bien difícil para los apóstoles que habían dedicado tres años de su vida para seguir al hombre que creyeron era el Mesías, sólo para verlo crucificado y enterrado. Todo parecía perdido. Obsesionados con los sucesos del Viernes Santo les era bien dificultoso al comienzo entender el mensaje de la resurrección. Pero sus ojos y sus corazones se abrieron cuando Jesús mencionó sus nombres, comió con ellos y sopló sobre ellos el don de la paz. Desde ese momento recibieron poder y fueron infundidos de valor y de un entusiasmo nuevo. Con el don del Espíritu Santo comenzaron a ser potentes testigos del mensaje de esperanza y de la vida nueva. Al regocijarnos en la gloria y el poder de la Resurrección llegamos a darnos cuenta de que la victoria de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte también puede ser nuestra. Vivamos este día de Pascua con fe y convicción, y así llegaremos a participar por siempre de la plenitud de la resurrección de Cristo. Traducido de Saint Margaret Sunday Missal derechos de autor © J. S. Paluch Company LA FE EN CRISTO La fe en Cristo y el compromiso con él llevan consigo la garantía de una vida para siempre y..., el estímulo de la esperanza para luchar constantemente contra todo aquello que amenaza la existencia humana. —Anónimo TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE A veces los cristianos preguntamos: ¿qué le pasó a Cristo, durante los tres días de su muerte? La Iglesia de Asia Menor (la actual Turquía) respondió a esto decorando sus templos con murales bizantinos mostrando escenas principales de la vida de Jesús para instruir a los fieles. Una de estas escenas era la de Jesús entre los muertos. Según los evangelios, a la muerte de Jesús muchas tumbas se abrieron y muchos cuerpos de santos resucitaron (Mateo 27:52-53). El símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles declara que Jesús descendió a los infiernos. Imágenes antiguas muestran a Jesucristo entrando triunfalmente al infierno, rompiendo las cadenas de los ahí presentes, tomándolos para llevárselos al cielo. El imaginario cristiano normalmente pinta a Jesús con Adán y Eva. Los toma no de las manos sino del pulso, simbolizando que los tiene bien agarrados y nadie, ni el mismo diablo, se los puede quitar. Jesús comparte con todos los difuntos la victoria de su resurrección. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
