Dear Parishioners,

The Paschal mystery is at the very heart o f

our Christian faith. The word scripture and

the life of Jesus on earth culminate in this

unique event. Indeed, every Eucharist is a memorial of

Christ’s Death and Resurrection. Yet once each year

the Church sets aside an entire week to commemorate

the astonishing realities of that first Holy Week.

May your loving participation in the week’s liturgy en-

able you to live more deeply the Life emptied on Cal-

vary and risen on Easter Sunday. The growth of

Christ’s Life in His people is the vital element in His

Father’s design.

May the peace and joy of the Lord’s Easter Life be with

you and yours forever.

Sincerely in Christ, Rev. Jovito B. Carongay Jr., Pastor

Rev. Kyrian C. Echekwu, Parochial Vicar

Psalm 118

Colossians 3:1-4 or 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8

John 20:1-9 or Luke 24:1-12 (#41C) or in the

afternoon, Luke 24:13-35 (#46)

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word

Today we hear the joyous news from Saints Peter,

Paul, and John, each of them attesting to the Easter

event. Saint Peter, speaking to a group of non-

Christians, testifies to Christ’s life, death, and resurrec-

tion. Saint Paul writes to the Colossians and the Corin-

thians about what they should do in the light of Jesus’

resurrection. Saint John, in writing the Gospel, tells of

the first disciples finding the empty tomb on Sunday

morning. As we listen, may we sense the joy and won-

der of these first witnesses.

Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra

Hoy escuchamos las noticias alegres de san Pedro, san

Pablo y san Juan, que atestiguan sobre el aconte-

cimiento Pascual. San Pedro se dirige a un grupo no

cristiano y da testimonio de la vida, muerte y resurrec-

ción de Cristo. San Pablo le escribe a los colosenses y

a los corintios acerca de lo que deben hacer a la luz de

la resurrección de Jesús. San Juan en el Evangelio

habla sore cómo los primeros discípulos encontraron el

sepulcro vacío la mañana del domingo. Al escuchar las

lecturas tratemos de sentir el júbilo de estos primeros

discípulos y los maravillados que estaban.
