A message from Fr. Tony

SEEKING Easter Sunday is a day all about seeking. The early Christian communities gathered around the Apos-tles, 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 oth-ers, 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 emp-ty tomb, “saw and believed.”

Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony

BÚSQUEDA El Domingo de Pascua es un día para la búsqueda. Las primeras comunidades cristianas se reunían alrededor de los apóstoles para conocer más sobre la vida y el ministerio del Señor Jesús. San Pablo les dijo a los co-losenses bautizados que buscaran “las cosas de arri-ba”. María Magdalena fue a la tumba para encontrar el cuerpo del Señor y ungirlo. Nosotros vamos a la iglesia el Domingo de Pascua buscando muchas cosas. Para algunos de nosotros, este es un trayecto anual cuando buscamos conectarnos con el fundamento de la fe cristiana. Para otros, este día es la culminación de una larga trayectoria para el arrepentimiento de la Cuares-ma. Para los nuevos bautizados es el primer día de una nueva vida llena de promesas y expectativas. No im-porta lo que sea que busquemos, inspirémonos con la acción del discípulo amado de Jesús quien al ver el sudario dentro de la tumba “vio y creyó”.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Our tradi on has a way of honoring age-old customs, and is pa ent with how prac ces unfold in different places. The name of today’s feast illustrates this well. English is a German-ic language, and our word “Easter,” or German “Oester,” points back to the pagan goddess Eoestre, the star of the ver-nal equinox feast. The Greek tle “Pasch” reaches back in a more helpful manner to the Hebrew “Pesach,” or “Passover.” “Paschal Triduum” may be slow to replace “Easter” in our vo-cabulary, but it is clearer about the mystery we celebrate to-day, the culmina on of three days laden with mystery and meaning.

You can hear the older term, and the resistance to English influence, in the Irish “Casca” and Sco sh “Pask.” Romance languages stay close to the deep paschal tradi on, with the French “Pâques,” Spanish “Pascua” and Italian “Pasqua.” Memories of our pagan past with “Oester” will not soon fade away: even Japanese Chris ans are under her spell, for to-day’s feast is called “ I-suta.” Swahili, a young language, takes the more tradi onal route with “Pasaka.” Each language yields a rich insight into the feast. Spanish includes a sense that today is a “big Sunday” by adding the designa on “Pascua” to the greatest feasts, such as “Pascua de la Na vid-ad” (Christmas). Once Christ is risen, every step of life’s jour-ney is illuminated by the light of the Pasch!
