Estamos una gente de Pascua! Aleluya es nuestro canto! Después de seis semanas, nos traen de vuelta el ¡aleluya! Hemos caminado con Jesús a través de la Cuaresma, el Triduo (Jueves Santo, Viernes Santo y Vigilia Pascual) y se ha llegado a la cima de la Fe Cristiana. Jesús cumplió su promesa de resucitar de entre los muertos y de la Fe Cristiana. Escuchamos en el Evangelio que cuando las mujeres fueron a la tumba, estaba vacío pero que vieron a un hombre por que les dijo que “no tenga miedo.” Las mujeres no se dieron cuenta que estaban hablando de Cristo resucitado. Junto con el Aleluya!, traer de regreso la Gloria porque queremos gritar desde el tejado de nuestra felicidad en el Cristo resucitado, y dar alabanza y honor en el mensaje evangélico de amar a Dios con todo nuestro corazón y amar a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos. Ser un ¡Aleluya! Personas y vivir su fe. Así que nos preguntamos: ∗¿se tiene miedo de lo que no sabemos o no podemos poner nuestra confianza en Dios y conocer a Dios nos llevará y nos ayuden a tratar con todo lo que ocurre en nuestra vida? ∗¿no se cantar y vivir el aleluya!? ¿no somos cristianos porque nuestras palabras y acciones ejemplifican Jesucristo? ∗¿que nos absorben el mensaje de la salvación que se nos ofrece de Jesucristo y hacer todo lo posible para tener una relación estrecha con el Rey de la Paz?

We are an Easter People! Alleluia is our song! After six weeks, we bring back the ALLELUIA! We have journeyed with Jesus through Lent and the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil) and have reached the pinnacle of the Christian Faith. Jesus fulfilled his promise to rise from the dead and the Christian Faith began. We hear in the Gospel that when the women went to the tomb it was empty but they saw a man close by that said to them “Do not be afraid.” The women did not realize that they were speaking to the Risen Christ. Along with the Alleluia!, we bring back the Gloria because we want to shout from the roof our happiness in the Risen Christ and give praise and honor to the Gospel message to love God with our whole heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. Be an Alleluia! people and live your faith! So we ask ourselves: ∗Are we afraid of what we don’t know or do we place our trust in God and know God will lead us and help us deal with whatever happens in our lives? ∗Do we sing out and live the ALLELUIA!? Do people know we are Christians because our words and actions exemplify Jesus Christ? ∗Do we absorb the message of salvation offered to us from Jesus Christ and do everything we can to have a closer relationship with the King of Peace?

An Easter Jelly Bean Poem GREEN the hill so far away. RED the blood he shed that day. PURPLE for the robe, He wore. BLACK for our sins our Savior bore. ORANGE is for the setting sun. YELLOW new day has begun. PINK the joy that Easter morn. White as snow, we are reborn.

Amen. Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us!
Great Mission Coming soon to Saint Michael’s during the Easter Season. Pope Francis tells us : “All of us are called to offer others an explicit witness to the saving love of the Lord…..Our falling short of perfection should be no excuse; on the contrary., mission is a constant stimulus not to remain mired in mediocrity but to continue growing .” ( Joy of the Gospel 121)
Please plan to join us, in the park, beginning April 19 and for consecutive Sunday afternoons. More information forthcoming. 214-3
