HAPPY EASTER! Happy Easter! Or as most other languages prefer: Blessed Pasch—Passover! Pasqua, Pascua, Páscoa, Pâques! Israel’s Passover through the Red Sea to the Promised Land! Jesus’ Passover through the Cross to resurrection! Our catechumens’ Passover last night, and ours once upon a time, through Baptism’s waters to our family’s Eucharist! Welcome, everybody! As someone once said of the Catholic Church, “Here comes everybody!” So in this Jubilee of Mercy, we make our own Saint John Chrysostom’s Easter welcome from fourteen hundred years ago: “Let everyone enjoy this radiant feast! You who fasted from Lent’s beginning, and you who didn’t fast at all, rejoice! The table’s richly set! Come, take from it, everybody, no worries, no embarrassment! All of you, taste the banquet of faith! Enjoy the feast of forgiveness! Let no one grieve for having sinned again and again: pardon has risen from the tomb!” Happy Easter! Blessed Pasch! Welcome, everybody! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

¡FELIZ PASCUA! ¡Feliz Pascua! La Pascua de Israel a través del Mar Rojo a la Tierra Prometida! La Pascua de Jesús a través de la cruz a la resurrección. La Pascua de nuestros catecúmenos anoche, y la nuestra una vez más, a través de las aguas de nuestro bautizo a nuestra familia eucarística. ¡Bienvenidos todos! Como alguien dijo una vez acerca de la Iglesia católica: “¡aquí vienen todos!” Así que en este jubileo de misericordia, hacemos nuestra propia Pascua de san Juan Crisóstomo desde hace cuatrocientos años “¡Permitan que todos se alegren en esta fiesta radiante! Ustedes que ayunaron desde el inicio de la Cuaresma y ustedes que no ayunaran para nada, ¡alégrense! ¡La mesa está generosamente arreglada! Vengan, sírvanse, todos, no se preocupen, ¡no se avergüencen! ¡Todos ustedes, prueben el banquete de la fe! ¡Disfruten la fiesta del perdón! ¡No lloren por haber pecado una y otra vez: el perdón se levanta del sepulcro!” ¡Feliz Pascua! ¡Bienvenidos todos! copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. On this Easter Sunday, open your hearts to receive God’s love, mercy and forgiveness. God is love and we are made in His image and likeness. Let our lives reflect His light to others. Pray for guidance on how to live your life and give thanks for all that He has given you. En este domingo de Pascua, abran sus corazones para recibir el amor, la misericordia y el perdón de Dios. Dios es amor y estamos hechos a su imagen y semejanza. Deja que nuestras vidas reflejen su Luz a los demás. Ora por orientación sobre cómo vivir tu vida y da gracias por todo lo que Él te ha dado.
