“The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own...” - ACTS 4:32

All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your talents, your abilities and your money – these are all gifts from God! We aren’t really owners of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with.

THANK YOU. We changed lives this Lent! Don’t forget to turn in your CRS Rice Bowls as soon as possible. See the box in the entry or return to your church office.

men heal from past abortions, most don't know

Dear Friends,

Today marks the close of the octave of Easter and the 2nd Sunday in the seven week

season of Easter. Seven weeks—a week of weeks—to ponder the great mystery of

new life in Christ at the center of our Catholic faith. Without the Resurrection of the

Crucified Messiah all would be lost and our faith a sad joke. As we continue to reflect

on the accounts of our Lord Jesus’ resurrection appearances, it is especially important

that we recognize in the Easter mystery our own identity as Church and the mission

we share. One of the great theologians of the 20th century, Hans Urs von Balthasar put

it this way:

The appearances of the Risen One always issue in mission. In as much as Mary does not hold

back Jesus but goes with her message to the brethren, she experiences Easter. The accounts

outdo one another in insistence and solemnity. . .Although much in the founding of the Church

was prepared in the time before Easter—in the disciples’ training in discipleship, and their

instruction—the real act of founding could not take place until the Risen One had completed

his own work, and, in the power of his death and Resurrection, could breathe out his Spirit

upon the Church-in-the-founding. . .The disciples, as eye-witnesses of the Resurrection, know

themselves to be at one and the same time both those called and those sent forth.

[Mysterium Paschale, pp. 254-255, underlining mine]

What a wonderful (and biblical) insight! The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus—apprehended in faith—reveals us to be both

“called” and “sent forth” to share the Good News. May God continue to “breathe out his Spirit” upon us and his whole Church

that we may recognize our calling and faithfully fulfill our mission.

Blessed Easter,

Fr. Tom

Rachel’s Corner Hope and Healing After Abortion

“Before the retreat my life was full of anger, my cross was

heavy, and I was angry with myself; on retreat I went

through detox because that is what it is like to be filled

with pain, anger, and frustration. Now I am feeling my

healing and my resurrection to this new life God has given

me. He has fed me with His word, His Mass and His

communion.” -Testimonial

Your healing after abortion can most certainly be a

resurrection to a new life that you thought would never be

yours again. Ask Him to give you the courage to take that

step toward Him. He will do everything else. Rest in Him

on a Rachel’s Vineyard™ Retreat and come alive again.

8 de abril de 2018 Segundo Domingo de Pascua

"La multitud de creyentes no tenia sino un solo corazón y una sola alma, nadie llamaba suyos a sus bienes, sino que todo era en común entre ellos. ..." - Hechos 4:32

¡Todo lo que somos y todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios! Piensa en tu familia, tus amigos, tus talentos, tus habilidades y tu dinero - ¡todos son regalos de Dios! En realidad, no somos dueños de nada, simplemente somos "administradores" de los dones con los que Dios nos ha bendecido.

Quer idos amigos,

Hoy se marca el final de la octava de Pascua y la segunda semana

de Pascua de siete semanas. Siete semanas -una semana de semanas

- para reflexionar sobre el gran misterio de la nueva vida en Cristo

como centro de nuestra fe católica. Sin la resurrección del Mesías

Crucificado, todo estaría perdido y nuestra fe, seria una triste

broma. A medida que continuamos reflexionando sobre los relatos

de las apariciones de resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesús, es

especialmente importante que reconozcamos en el misterio de la

Pascua nuestra propia identidad como Iglesia y la misión que

compartimos. Uno de los grandes teólogos del siglo XX, Hans Urs von Balthasar lo expresó de esta manera:

Las apariciones de Él Resucitado siempre salen en misión. En la medida en que María no detiene a Jesús, sino que va

con su mensaje a los hermanos, ella experimenta la Pascua. Las cuentas se superan mutuamente en insistencia y

solemnidad. . . Aunque en los inicios de la Iglesia se preparó mucho antes de la Pascua, en el entrenamiento de los

discípulos, en el discipulado, y su instrucción -el verdadero acto de la fundación no pudo tener lugar hasta que el

Resucitado haya completado su propio trabajo, y, en el poder de su muerte y Resurrección, así pudo exhalar su

Espíritu sobre la fundación de la Iglesia. . .Los discípulos, como testigos oculares de la Resurrección, saben que son

al mismo tiempo los llamados y los enviados. [Mysterium Paschale, pp. 254-255, subrayando el mío]

¡Qué maravillosa (y bíblica) revelación! La Resurrección de nuestro Señor Jesús, -aprendida en la fe- nos revela que somos

"llamados" y "enviados" a compartir las Buenas Nuevas. Que Dios continúe "exhalando su Espíritu" sobre nosotros y toda su

Iglesia para que podamos reconocer nuestro llamado y cumplir fielmente nuestra misión.

Bendiciones de Pascua, de parte del Padre Tom

PD. Estas fotos son del maravilloso Concierto de vacaciones de Primavera de la Escuela Regional Inmaculada Concepción el
