From Fr. Davy’s Desk:
Easter is the greatest and the most important feast in the Church. "Easter" literally
means "the feast of fresh flowers." We celebrate it with pride and jubilation. Why
do we rejoice today? We rejoice because a tragedy has turned into comedy. It is
like watching one of the episodes of Batman. First you see an innocent and help-
less victim being attacked, robbed, kidnapped, assaulted and tortured by a wicked
assailant. And we feel so bad seeing the triumph of the bad guy. Then, almost at
the point where the victim has given up hope and is at the point of death, down
from the skies comes Batman to the rescue. He battles and defeats the bad guy and
rescues the innocent victim. And we feel happy inside at the triumph of justice.
The story of the suffering and death of Jesus on Good Friday is the story of the tri-
umph of falsity over truth. Jesus was falsely charged of crimes that he did not
commit, and unjustly sentenced to a death that he did not deserve. His good friend
betrayed him, his trusted companions deserted him and his number one man de-
nied him. The people he loved demanded his crucifixion and chose to have the
bandit Barabbas released in his place. All this comes to a head on Good Friday
when we see Jesus scourged, mocked, led on the death march, nailed to the cross
where he dies after a few hours and hastily buried in a tomb. If that were the end of
the story that would be a bad story or a tragedy. But glory be to God it is not!
Resurrection of Jesus reveals that truth is immortal. We can suppress Truth, accuse
it of being a lie, condemn it, torture it, kill it, bury it in the grave but on the third
day Truth will rise again. Truth will always be truth. That is why the church asks
us today to rejoice and be glad. Even when we are going through very difficult
times: through betrayal, unjust discrimination, misrepresentations; even when the
enemy seems to be winning the battle in our lives. Today Christ has won. And we
know that in Christ we shall overcome. Halleluiah, Praise the Lord!
Fr. Jossy and I wish you a Blessed Easter!

Mensaje del Padre Davy:
La Pascua es la fiesta más grande y más importante de la Iglesia. "Pascua" signifi-
ca literalmente "la fiesta de las flores frescas". Lo celebramos con orgullo y júbilo.
¿Por qué nos regocijamos hoy? Nos regocijamos porque una tragedia se ha conver-
tido en comedia. Es como ver uno de los episodios de Batman. Primero ves a una
víctima inocente e indefensa siendo atacada, robada, secuestrada, asaltada y tortu-
rada por un malvado agresor. Y nos sentimos tan mal al ver el triunfo del chico ma-
lo. Luego, casi en el punto donde la víctima ha perdido la esperanza y está en el
punto de la muerte, desde el cielo llega Batman al rescate. Él lucha y derrota al ma-
lo y rescata a la víctima inocente. Y nos sentimos felices por dentro con el triunfo
de la justicia.
La historia del sufrimiento y la muerte de Jesús el viernes Santo es la historia del
triunfo de la falsedad sobre la verdad. Jesús fue acusado falsamente de delitos que
no cometió, y fue condenado injustamente a una muerte que no merecía. Su buen
amigo lo traicionó, sus compañeros de confianza lo abandonaron y su hombre
número uno lo negó. Las personas que amaba exigieron su crucifixión y eligieron
que liberaran al bandido Barrabás en su lugar. Todo esto llega a un punto crítico el
Viernes Santo cuando vemos a Jesús azotado, burlado, liderado en la marcha de la
muerte, clavado en la cruz donde muere después de unas horas y enterrado apresu-
radamente en una tumba. Si ese fuera el final de la historia, sería una mala historia
o una tragedia. ¡Pero la gloria sea para Dios, no lo es!
La resurrección de Jesús revela que la verdad es inmortal. Podemos reprimir la
Verdad, acusarla de mentira, condenarla, torturarla, matarla, enterrarla en la tumba,
pero al tercer día la Verdad volverá a surgir. La verdad siempre será verdad. Es por
eso que la iglesia nos pide hoy que nos regocijemos y nos alegremos. Incluso cuan-
do estamos atravesando tiempos muy difíciles: a través de la traición, la discrimi-
nación injusta, las tergiversaciones; incluso cuando el enemigo parece estar ganan-
do la batalla en nuestras vidas. Hoy Cristo ha ganado. Y sabemos que en Cristo
venceremos. Aleluya, ¡Alabado sea el Señor!
¡Padre Jossy y yo le deseamos a todos ustedes Felices Pascua!
Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI
