ALÉGRENSE Y REGOCÍJENSE Durante los primeros tres o cuatro siglos del cristianismo, si se le preguntaba a un cristiano el nombre de las fiestas de la Iglesia, su respuesta habría sido una mirada de sorpresa porque había una sola fiesta: la Resurrección del Señor. Cada domingo era una celebración de la gran fiesta. A pesar de que nuestro calendario tiene ahora muchas fiestas hermosas y santas, continuamente debemos ser llamados de nuevo al hecho de que todas estas fiestas existen a causa de la fiesta del paso (Pascua) de Cristo de la muerte a la vida. El Salmo de hoy proclama este mensaje así: “Este es el día”. No es uno de muchos días, pero es el día de todos los días, el que da a todos los demás su origen, propósito, significado y destino. Escuchen con atención el discurso de Pedro en Hechos recordando la Pasión, las palabras del apóstol Pablo y al recuento que hacen María Magdalena, Juan y Pedro al encontrar la tumba vacía, y oirán las obras maravillosas que Dios ha hecho para nosotros en Cristo. ¡Alégrense y regocíjense!

REJOICE AND BE GLAD During the first three or four centuries of Christianity, if you asked a Christian to name the feast days of the church, your answer would have been a puzzled stare, for there was only one feast: the Resurrection of the Lord. Every Sunday was a feast celebrating the one great feast. Even though our calendar now has many beautiful and holy feasts, we must continually be called back to the fact that all these other feasts exist because of the feast of Christ’s passover from death to life. The psalm today proclaims this message well: “This is the day.” It is not one of many days, but it is the day of all days, the one that gives all the others their origin, purpose, meaning, and destiny. Listen carefully to Peter’s speech in Acts with its recollection of the Passion, to the words of the apostle Paul, and to the account of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter finding the empty tomb, and you will hear the many wonderful works that God has done for us through Christ. Rejoice and be glad!

FEAST OF FAITH The Eucharist: Food for Resurrection How do we celebrate Easter, the greatest of our Christian feasts? By doing what we do every Sunday and every day: celebrating the Mass. On the first Easter, as the heartbroken disciples walked the road to Emmaus, the Lord was with them but they did not realize it. They only recognized him “in the breaking of the bread” (Luke 22:35). It is the same for us. In the Mass—the breaking of the bread—we meet the risen Lord together. We meet him in each other—for by our baptism into his death and resurrection, we have become members of one body, the Body of Christ. We meet him in his word—in the liturgy the scriptures are proclaimed to us, that they might take root and grow in us. And we meet him in a special way in the Eucharist, the sacrament of his Body and Blood, which is food for resurrection: “whoever eats this bread will live forever” (John 6:51). The Lord is risen indeed, and it is the Risen One who truly presides at this and every Eucharist.

FIESTA DE LA FE La mesa de la Palabra De la mesa de la palabra vamos a la mesa eucarística. La Constitución sobre la Sagrada Liturgia tuvo eso en mente de forma muy clara al pedir que: “A fin de que la mesa de la palabra de Dios se prepare con más abundancia para los fieles ábranse con mayor amplitud los tesoros de la Biblia, de modo que, en un período determinado de años, se lean al pueblo las partes más significativas de la Sagrada Escritura”. Fue de esta manera que no sólo se reorganizó un nuevo Leccionario para la Iglesia Católica, sino que se le dio una importancia aún mayor a la lectura de la Biblia, no sólo en el contexto de la liturgia, sino en toda la vida de la Iglesia. Esta reforma litúrgica hizo posible que la comunidad de creyentes conociera los evangelios de Mateo, los de Marcos, Lucas y Juan. En números claros, antes del Concilio Vaticano II sólo se proclamaba el 5% del Evangelio de Marcos y, del Antiguo Testamento, sólo se proclamaban 258 versículos, de los 25,044 versículos que lo componen, es decir, sólo el 1%. Un gran paso, sin duda.

Please continue to follow regulations of health measures, such as the use of face masks, etc., etc. Remember that you enter the church freely, at your own risk. If you have symptoms or if you are in a vulnerable condition, refrain from entering.

+++ Photographs and certificates of candidates who have received their sacraments during last fall (from September through November of 2020), are in the Office of St. Leo’s Religious Education. Please contact the DRE Mr. Conrado Hernandez in Fr. Byrnes Room (lower rectory) to pick up the photos and certificates.

+++ There will be a special collection on Good Friday, April 2nd. To support the Holy Land Franciscans, will continue to serve those in need in the Holy Land with care and service. This year, more than ever, we ask that you pledge your assistance to the people living there and those ministering in the land that Jesus made Holy.
