Reflections ~ Reflexiones GGoossppeell:: JJoohhnn 2200:: 11--99 Imagine the headlines that might accompany this Easter gospel: "Woman Finds Tomb Empty," "Race to Tomb Lost by Peter," "Burial Shroud Mysteriously Vacated." John's account makes it clear that Mary Magdalene was the first witness to the empty tomb. Like Peter and John, she did not at first understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. In an historical time when women were not allowed to testify in a court of law, Jesus chose a woman to be the first witness to the empty tomb and to the risen Lord himself. The very next story in John's Gospel tells us how Mary Magdalene meets the risen Jesus and he sends her to announce to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord" (John 20:18). Whenever we hear this or any other Easter gospel proclaimed, we can rejoice that we too have been chosen as witnesses that Jesus is the Son of God who has risen from the dead.

1.) Like the first disciples, we are not always completely fearless and faithful witnesses to the risen Jesus. But he has chosen us just the same! Name one quality or skill you can use to help others experience the joy of following Jesus.

EEvvaannggeelliioo:: JJoohhnn 2200:: 11--99 Imagina los encabezamientos que pueden acompañar este evangelio de Pascua de resurrección: "mujeres encuentran la tumba vacía", "Pedro llega de último a la tumba", "misterio en desaparición del cuerpo". El recuento de Juan deja claro que María Magdalena fue el primer testigo de la tumba vacía. A igual que Pedro y Juan, ella no entendió al principio que Jesús había resucitado. En ese tiempo a las mujeres no se les permitía testificar en la corte. Jesús escogió a una mujer para ser el primer testigo de su resurrección. La próxima historia del evangelio de Juan nos dice que María Magdalena se encontró al Señor resucitado y que él la envía a anunciar a los discípulos; "He visto al Señor" (Juan 20:18). Cada vez que escuchamos esta u otra proclamación del evangelio de la resurrección, nos regocijamos de que también nosotros hemos sido escogidos para ser testigos de que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios que ha resucitado de entre los muertos. 1) Nombra algunas cosas que en esta lectura te revelan algo sobre estos tres discípulos. Igual que los primeros discípulos nosotros no siempre estamos libres del miedo, ni somos fieles testigos del Señor resucitado. Pero él decidió escogernos de todos modos. Nombra una cualidad o habilidad que puedes usar para ayudar a otros a vivir el gozo de seguir a Jesús.

Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco OONN EEAASSTTEERR EEVVEE Place 1 cup of pecans in a zippered plastic bag and let children break them into pieces with a wooden spoon. Explain that Jesus was arrested and was beaten by Roman soldiers. Let each child smell the vinegar and pour 1 teaspoon into a mixing bowl. Explain that Jesus was thirsty on the cross and was given vinegar to drink. Add 3 egg whites, representing life, to the vinegar. Explain that Jesus gave his life to give us life. Sprinkle salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and put a pinch into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' disciples, and the bitterness of our own sins. Add 1 cup of sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because he loves us. He wants us to know this and how to belong to him. Beat with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents our purity when God forgives our sins. Fold in the nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto a cookie sheet covered in waxed paper. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Put the cookie sheet in a 300° F oven, close the door and turn the oven off! Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed. Go to bed! Explain that they may feel sad leaving the cookies in the oven overnight, just as Jesus' disciples were miserable when the tomb was sealed. On Easter day, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty! Jesus is alive!

EN LA VÍSPERA DE PASCUA En una bolsa plástica y cerrada, echa una taza de nueces y deja que los niños las partan en pedacitos pequeños golpeando la bolsita con una cuchara de madera. Explícales que Jesús fue arrestado y golpeado por los soldados romanos. Deja que cada niño huela el vinagre y pon una cucharadita en un recipiente hondo. Explícales que Jesús tenía sed en la cruz y le dieron vinagre para tomar. Añade al vinagre 3 claras de huevo, representando la vida. Explícales que Jesús dio su vida para darnos la vida. Espolvorea un poco de sal en la mano de cada niño. Déjalos que la prueben y que después pongan una pizca en el recipiente. Explícales que esto representa la sal en las lágrimas que los discípulos de Jesús derramaron y lo amargo de sus pecados. Añadan 1 taza de azúcar. Explícales que la parte más dulce de la historia es que Jesús murió porque nos ama. Él desea que nosotros sepamos eso y también que le pertenecemos. Bate la mezcla con una batidora a la máxima velocidad hasta que se formen picos con el merengue. Explícales que el color blanco representa nuestra pureza cuando Dios nos perdona nuestros pecados. Incorpora las nueces. Pon la mezcla por cucharaditas en una bandeja de hornear cubierta previamente con papel encerado. Explícales que cada montoncito representa la tumba rocosa en donde sepultaron el cuerpo de Jesús. Pon la bandeja en el horno a 300°F, cierra la puerta del horno y ¡apágalo! Dale a cada niño un pedazo de cinta adhesiva para que sellen la puerta del horno. Explícales que la tumba de Jesús quedó sellada. ¡Váyanse a dormir! Explícales que probablemente ellos se sientan tristes de dejar las galletitas en el horno toda la noche, así como los discípulos se sintieron miserables cuando sellaron la tumba. El día de Pascua abre el horno y dale a cada uno una galletita. Fíjense en la superficie agrietada y pruébenla. ¡La galletita está vacía! ¡El primer día de Pascua los discípulos de Jesús se quedaron asombrados de encontrar la tumba abierta y vacía! ¡Jesús está vivo!

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 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 wrapping of cloth inside the empty tomb” saw and believed.

TTrreeaassuurreess FFrroomm OOuurr TTrraaddiittiioonn:: The Paschal Mystery is the key to our Christian faith: the dying and rising of Jesus that is the pattern of our life. In their first steps on the road of faith, the catechumens feel the cross of glory traced over their eyes, on their lips, across their shoulders, on their ears, over their heart, and on their feet. The mystery is that even death gives way to life for those who are held in the embrace of Jesus. Today, many new Christians arise from the waters of the font. Yet the font is not the destination of their journey. The goal is Pentecost, fifty days from now, and a lifetime of praise to the Father, in Christ, in the embrace of the Holy Spirit, for the sake of the world. “Neophyte,” our ancient word for newly-baptized people, means “newly-planted” in Greek. If someone in your parish has just been baptized, welcome them today. The smiles on their faces and the light in their eyes is a foretaste of heaven. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

El misterio Pascua es la llave de nuestra fé Cristiana. El patrón de nuestras vidas se basa en la muerte y resurección de Jesús. Es como los Catecúmenos. En sus primeros pasos, trazan con una cruz sobre sus labios, sus ojos, sus hombros, sus oidos, sobre sus pies y sobre su corazón afirmando el misterio de que, incluso la muerte da paso a la vida a todos aquellos que creen en Jesús. LA Pascua de Resurección nos recuerda que tambien hemos sido creados para ser resucitados. La buena nueva es que hemos sido creados para compartir la vida nueva, gozar de la prescencia de Cristo, libres de Dolores, penas y sufrimiento. ¡Qué la alegría del Cristo Resucitado llene sus hogares y los acompañe siempre! ¡Felíces Pascuas de Resurección!, les deseamos el Padre Eugene Tungol y todo el personal de la Epifanía.

De la misma manera que los relatos de los testigos en la lectura de hoy, la vida gloriosa y gozosa que nos rodea nos ayuda a creer en la buena nueva de la Resurrección y exclamar “¡Aleluya!” Hoy en la Sagrada Escritura escuchamos a Pedro, a Pablo y a Juan quienes hablan con convicción de haber visto al Cristo resucitado. El relato del Evangelio según san Juan incluye a María Magdalena, quien también tuvo el privilegio de ser testigo de la Resurrección y contarles a los demás la buena nueva. En este glorioso Domingo de Pascua, ¿podemos nosotros también dar testimonio de que Jesucristo ha resucitado hoy y está vivo y activo en nuestra vida? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Happy Easter Happy Easter! "This is the day the Lord has made!" Easter Sunday is the greatest feast day of the entire Church year. We share our joy in the risen Christ's victory over death. And we rejoice that one day we too will rise with him. Alleluia! On Easter morning everything—the spring weather, the flowers, birds and butterflies, the people around us in their finery, the beautiful liturgy and music—everything seems to bear witness that Jesus Christ is risen today! Like the eyewitness accounts in today’s scriptures, the glorious and joyful life all around us helps us to believe the good news of the Resurrection and sing “Alleluia!” The Paschal Mystery is the key to our Christian faith: the dying and rising of Jesus that is the pattern of our life. In their first steps on the road of faith, the catechumens feel the cross of glory traced over their eyes, on their lips, across their shoulders, on their ears, over their heart, and on their feet. The mystery is that even death gives way to life for those who are held in the embrace of Jesus. Easter reminds us that we, too, have been created to be resurrected. The Good News is that we are destined to share a new life, an eternal life with Jesus, a life free of pain, suffering and death! Our prayer is that you enjoy all the happiness this Easter with your families and friends. May the peace of the Risen Lord Jesus fill your hearts and homes!

HAPPY EASTER! Father Eugene Tungol
