HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS Vatican Basilica

The greeting of the Risen Christ to his disciples on the evening of Easter, “Peace be with you!” (Jn 20:19), continues to resound in us all. Peace, especially during this Easter season, remains the desire of so many people who suffer unprecedented violence of discrimination and death simply because they bear the name “Christian”. Our prayer is all the more intense and becomes a cry for help to the Father, who is rich in mercy, that he may sustain the faith of our many brothers and sisters who are in pain. At the same time, we ask for the grace of the conversion of our own hearts so as to move from indifference to compassion. Saint Paul reminds us that we have been saved through the mystery of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He is the Reconciler, who is alive in our midst offering the way to reconciliation with God and with each other. The Apostle recalls that, notwithstanding the difficulties and the sufferings of life, the hope of salvation which Christ has sown in our hearts nonetheless continues to grow. The mercy of God is poured out upon us, making us just and giving us peace. Many question in their hearts: why a Jubilee of Mercy today? Simply because the Church, in this time of great historical change, is called to offer more evident signs of God’s presence and closeness. This is not the time to be distracted; on the contrary, we need to be vigilant and to reawaken in ourselves the capacity to see what is essential. (Continued on page 2)

HOMILY OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS (cont’d) This is a time for the Church to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the Lord on the day of Easter: to be a sign and an instrument of the Father’s mercy (cf. Jn 20:21-23). For this reason, the Holy Year must keep alive the desire to know how to welcome the numerous signs of the tenderness which God offers to the whole world and, above all, to those who suffer, who are alone and abandoned, without hope of being pardoned or feeling the Father’s love. A Holy Year to experience strongly within ourselves the joy of having been found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd who has come in search of us because we were lost. A Jubilee to receive the warmth of his love when he bears us upon his shoulders and brings us back to the Father’s house. A year in which to be touched by the Lord Jesus and to be transformed by his mercy, so that we may become witnesses to mercy. Here, then, is the reason for the Jubilee: because this is the time for mercy. It is the favourable time to heal wounds, a time not to be weary of meeting all those who are waiting to see and to touch with their hands the signs of the closeness of God, a time to offer everyone, everyone, the way of forgiveness and reconciliation. May the Mother of God open our eyes, so that we may comprehend the task to which we have been called; and may she obtain for us the grace to experience this Jubilee of Mercy as faithful and fruitful witnesses of Christ.

HOMILÍA DEL SANTO PADRE FRANCISCO Basílica Vaticana Todavía resuena en todos nosotros el saludo de Jesús Resucitado a sus discípulos la tarde de Pascua: «Paz a vosotros« (Jn 20,19). La paz, sobre todo en estas semanas, sigue siendo el deseo de tantos pueblos que sufren la violencia inaudita de la discriminación y de la muerte, sólo por llevar el nombre de cristianos. Nuestra oración se hace aún más intensa y se convierte en un grito de auxilio al Padre, rico en misericordia, para que sostenga la fe de tantos hermanos y hermanas que sufren, a la vez que pedimos que convierta nuestros corazones, para pasar de la indiferencia a la compasión. San Pablo nos ha recordado que hemos sido salvados en el misterio de la muerte y resurrección del Señor Jesús. Él es el Reconciliador, que está vivo en medio de nosotros para mostrarnos el camino de la reconciliación con Dios y con los hermanos. El Apóstol recuerda que, a pesar de las dificultades y los sufrimientos de la vida, sigue creciendo la esperanza en la salvación que el amor de Cristo ha sembrado en nuestros corazones. La misericordia de Dios se ha derramado en nosotros haciéndonos justos, dándonos la paz. Una pregunta está presente en el corazón de muchos: ¿por qué hoy un Jubileo de la Misericordia? Simplemente porque la Iglesia, en este momento de grandes cambios históricos, está llamada a ofrecer con mayor intensidad los signos de la presencia y de la cercanía de Dios. Éste no es un tiempo para estar distraídos, sino al contrario para permanecer alerta y despertar en nosotros la capacidad de ver lo esencial. Es el tiempo para que la Iglesia redescubra el sentido de la misión que el Señor le ha confiado el día de Pascua: ser signo e instrumento de la misericordia del Padre (cf. Jn 20,21-23). Por eso el Año Santo tiene que mantener vivo el deseo de saber descubrir los muchos signos de la ternura que Dios ofrece al mundo entero y sobre todo a cuantos sufren, se encuentran solos y abandonados, y también sin esperanza de ser perdonados y sentirse amados por el Padre. Un Año Santo para sentir intensamente dentro de nosotros la alegría de haber sido encontrados por Jesús, que, como Buen Pastor, ha venido a buscarnos porque estábamos perdidos. Un Jubileo para percibir el calor de su amor cuando nos carga sobre sus hombros para llevarnos de nuevo a la casa del Padre. Un Año para ser tocados por el Señor Jesús y transformados por su misericordia, para convertirnos también nosotros en testigos de misericordia. Para esto es el Jubileo: porque este es el tiempo de la misericordia. Es el tiempo favorable para curar las heridas, para no cansarnos de buscar a cuantos esperan ver y tocar con la mano los signos de la cercanía de Dios, para ofrecer a todos, a todos, el camino del perdón y de la reconciliación. Que la Madre de la Divina Misericordia abra nuestros ojos para que comprendamos la tarea a la que estamos llamados; y que nos alcance la gracia de vivir este Jubileo de la Misericordia con un testimonio fiel y fecundo. © Copyright - Libreria Editrice Vaticana http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/es/homilies/2015/documents/papa-francesco_20150411_omelia-vespri-divina-misericordia.html

Pray for The Departed

Robert O’Neil ~ John Francis Giari

CHRIST HAS RISEN Where is your sting, O death? Where is your victory, O hell? Christ has risen, and you are overthrown. Christ has risen, and the demons have fallen. Christ has risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ has risen, and life reigns. Christ has risen, and not one dead rests in the grave. For Christ having risen from the dead became the first-fruits of them that slept. To him be glory and majesty to ages of ages. Amen.

—Byzantine Pentekostarion

WE REMEMBER YOU, O RISEN LORD We remember you, O risen Lord, New Covenant at the feast of the cross. Your resurrection dresses the table for the bread of heaven and the cup of salvation. Blessed are you! —From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss, CSSP, copyright © 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss. Published by World Library Publications. p.163

DRAWN INTO THE STORY “We are witnesses!” The scripture readings for Easter Sunday concentrate on details reported by eyewitnesses. Listen carefully and you will be drawn into the stories yourself. Peter reports the good works Jesus did, his death on the cross, and his resurrection. The passage from John’s Gospel has us running to the empty tomb with Peter and John and peering inside to see the cloths used to cover Jesus’ body. Psalm 118 sums up our response: “It is wonderful in our eyes!” What resurrection details do we see in our lives today? How have we died to our old lives and been raised up again with Jesus? Let us pay attention to the new life around us. It is wonderful in our eyes. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Stewardship by the Book In the second reading today, St. Paul reminds the Co-lossians that they have been raised with Christ, ex-horting them to “think about the things above rather than things of earth.” We, too, have been raised with Christ. Let us rejoice and be glad! See Colossians 3:2

La Administración de Nuestro Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro como Bienes de Dios, según “el Libro” En la segunda lectura de hoy, San Pablo les recuerda a los Colosenses que ellos han sido resucitados con Cristo, exhortándolos a que “se preocupen por las cosas de arriba, no por las de la tierra”. Nosotros también, hemos sido resucitados con Cristo. Regocijé-monos y alegrémonos!, Ver Colosenses 3:2

EASTER PEOPLE We are Easter people and Alleluia is our song! —St. Augustine

Jubilee Year of Mercy

The Resurrection of the Lord This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Alleluia! Easter is always, but especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, the victory of God’s gentle but invincible mercy rais-ing up Jesus, “faithful wit-ness, the first-born of the dead” (Revelation 1:5), “first-born among many brothers [and sis-ters]” (Romans 8:29), con-quering death in all its forms, in all of us in the human family. In Luke’s Vigil Gospel, heavenly messengers send the wom-en forth: “Remember what [Jesus] said to you” (Luke

24:6). In John’s Gospel, the empty tomb likewise “sends forth” Mary Mag-dalene, Peter, and the Beloved Disciple, who be-lieve though they do not fully understand. Finally, Luke’s evening “Emmaus” Gospel sends us forth, as “missionaries of mercy,” assuring us that we will encounter the Risen Lord, today and every day, in “the stranger” we meet along life’s journey, in “the Word that makes our hearts burn within us,” and “in the breaking of bread” (see Luke 24:32, 35). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia La Resurrección del Señor Este es el día en que actuó el Señor, sea nues-tra alegría y nuestro gozo. ¡Aleluya! En este

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia la Pascua continua siendo la victoria de Dios misericordioso que levan-ta a Jesús “el testigo fiel, el primogénito de los muertos y el soberano de los reyes de la tie-rra” (Apocalipsis 1:5), “el primogénito entre muchos hermanos” (Romanos 8:29), venciendo a la muerte en todas sus formas, en todos nos nosotros en la familia humana. En el Evangelio de la Vigilia, este año el de Lucas, mensajeros celestiales enviaron a las mujeres a anunciar (24:6). En el Evangelio de Juan, la tumba vacía igualmente “envía” a María Magdalena, Pedro y el Discípulo Amado, quienes creían aunque no entendían plenamente. Por último, en la tarde de este domingo de Pascua, el Evange-lio de Lucas que cuenta la historia de Emaús, nos envía como “misioneros de misericordia”, asegurán-donos que encontraremos al Señor Resucitado, hoy y cada día en “la persona desconocida” que en-contramos en nuestro camino de la vida, en la “Palabra que hace que arda nuestros corazones” y “al partir el pan” (ver Lucas 24:32, 35). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

La tradición de los “huevos de Pascua” El origen de esta costumbre viene de los antiguos egipcios, quienes acostumbraban regalarse en oca-siones especiales, huevos decorados por ellos mis-mos. Los decoraban con pinturas que sacaban de las plantas y el mejor regalo era el huevo que estuvie-ra mejor pintado. Ellos los ponían como adornos en sus casas. Cuando Jesús se fue al cielo después de resucitar, los primeros cristianos fijaron una época del año, la Cuaresma, cuarenta días antes de la fiesta de Pas-cua, en la que todos los cristianos debían hacer sacrificios para limpiar su alma. Uno de estos sacri-ficios era no comer huevo durante la Cuaresma. Entonces, el día de Pascua, salían de sus casas con canastas de huevos para regalar a los demás cris-tianos. Todos se ponían muy contentos, pues con los huevos recordaban que estaban festejando la Pas-cua, la Resurrección de Jesús. Uno de estos primeros cristianos se acordó un día de Pascua de lo que hacían los egipcios y se le ocu-rrió pintar los huevos que iba a regalar. A los de-más cristianos les encantó la idea y la imitaron. Desde entonces, se regalan huevos de colores en

Pascua para recordar que Jesús resucitó. Poco a poco, otros cristianos tuvieron nuevas ideas, como hacer huevos de chocolate y de dulce para regalar en Pascua. Son esos los que regalamos hoy en día.

¿De dónde viene lo del “conejo de Pascua”? Su origen se remonta a las fiestas anglosajonas pre-cristianas, cuando el conejo era el símbolo de la fertilidad asociado a la diosa Eastre, a quien se le dedicaba el mes de abril. Progresivamente, se fue incluyendo la imagen del conejo a la Semana Santa y, a partir del siglo XIX, se empezaron a fabricar en Alemania conejos y huevos de chocolate y azúcar para regalar en la Pascua Los alemanes, para justificar "cristianamente" la mezcla de símbolos paganos y cristianos, inventa-ron una muy curiosa leyenda, cuento o fábula, que se ha ido transmitiendo de generación en genera-ción y que dice así: Había una vez un conejo que vivía en el sepulcro que pertenecía a José de Arimatea donde deposita-ron el cuerpo de Jesús después de su muerte en la cruz.

El conejo estaba presente cuando lo sepultaron y vio cómo la gente lloraba y estaba triste porque Jesús había muerto. Cuando pusieron la piedra que cerró la entrada, el conejo se quedó ahí mirando el cuerpo de Jesús y preguntándose quien sería ese Señor a quien que-rían tanto todas las personas. Pasó todo un día y toda una noche mirándolo, cuando de pronto Jesús se levantó y dobló las sábanas con las que lo habían envuelto. Un ángel quitó la piedra que tapaba la entrada y Jesús salió de la cueva ¡más vivo que nunca! El conejo entonces comprendió que Jesús era el Hijo de Dios y se sintió obligado a avisar al mun-do y a todas las personas que lloraban que ya no tenían que estar tristes, pues Jesús no estaba muer-to, sino que había resucitado. Como los conejos no pueden hablar, se le ocurrió que si les llevaba un huevo, símbolo de la vida, los hombres entenderían el mensaje de resurrección y alegría. Desde enton-ces el conejo sale cada Domingo de Pascua a dejar huevos de colores en todas las casas para recordar-le al mundo que Jesús resucitó y hay que vivir ale-gres. http://es.catholic.net/op/articulos/1582/cat/735/tiempo-pascual.html

Luadato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home, a Parish Response

Interested in Pope Francis’ teachings on the environment? Want to help Saint Matthew’s become greener? Please call Monsignor for details on a workshop to learn about how our parish might re-spond to Pope Francis’ call for the care of creation. What is a parish green team? What are other parishes actually doing? How could we start and sustain a green team here? How does it help our parish? How can it help us live out our Christian call?
