BAPTISM

Let us welcome all the new Babies and their

families who were Baptized this past weekend.

ALL PARISH OFFICE WILL

BE CLOSED THE MONDAY

AFTER EASTER APRIL 2ND.

WE WILL REOPEN ON

TUESDAY, APRIL 3RD.

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU !!! HAPPY EASTER TO ALL WHO

BELIEVE IN CHRIST !!!

The significance of Easter is much greater than the

significance of Christmas. Revelation of Christ’s humanity in

Christmas is beautiful, very comforting and consoling to have

Emmanuel, that is - God with us -, but revelation of Resurrection is

much greater, it shows us Christ’s divinity and his power over death

- our greatest enemy. It is revelation of Christ’s greatest gift to us, it is the gift of salvation, it is the gift of

eternal life.

Resurrection of Christ becomes a promise to us, that we can be with God in eternal life, if only we

deposit our trust in God. Christ became human, to make us somewhat divine through rising from the dead

to eternal life. By defeating death, Jesus brings the greatest victory into the perspective of everyone’s life.

He turns the greatest sadness's of human life, into the promise of unthinkable life forever in the kingdom

of heaven.

This perspective is so big and so seemingly remote to our today and now thinking, because we are

very materialistically oriented. Our images of resurrection do not adequately transmit the message with its

depth. In our culture, the Resurrection and Easter are represented to us by images and concepts that are

like parables, talking to us through images and concepts that are comparable in its effects. But to think

about Resurrection and experience Resurrection, or to think about the death and experience death it is two

different worlds, it is almost unthinkable. These two experiences, are the last experiences of our existence,

and we all talk about it on the basis of our faith experience. How many of us had an experience of the

resurrection, or how many of us experienced death ???

So when we speak about Easter using the images of : an Easter bunny, or an Easter eggs, Easter

lamb, Easter bread, Easter food, Easter basket, Easter flowers, empty tomb, Easter cloth, Easter water,

Easter candle, they all speak of Resurrected Christ, but the experience of suffering, pain and death is

already transformed into this new imagery of the life after. These are the two extremes of human

experience that we all are scared to experience. We all know, that there will be no glorious experience of

Resurrection, before the scary experience of death. These are the two last experiences of our human

earthly, and then heavenly existence. It is dramatical, yet beautiful transformation. It is the transformation

from the caterpillar into the butterfly, or from the seed into the flower, beautiful yet dramatic. Faith makes

it sound simple, rationality makes it seem impossible. For Christ it is natural, for us it’s supernatural. It is

amazing and almost unthinkable, it is the best possible thing that can happen to a human being by

becoming almost divine.

Jesus save us from eternal damnation, save us from our sins, save us from our death. Jesus

remember us when you come into your kingdom.

Happy and healthy Easter to everyone !!! God bless You all !!!

Fr. Stan

Our Lady of Providence School Our Parish Regional School

Catholic Education at it’s BEST

On Wednesday, 3-14, Our Lady of Providence celebrated

Pi day with many fun Math activities. The celebration cul-

minated in a Pi memorization contest. All the participants

did a great job! Congratulations to Olivia, Alexa, and

Kyra, who took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.

At Our Lady of Providence School, the safety and security

of our children is our number one priority. On Wednesday,

as a Catholic school, we chose not to have a student

walkout at 10:00 AM. Instead, at that time, we stopped

all activities and prayed together as a school family for the

safety of all our students, staff, and families, and

remembered in prayer the student lives lost to violence in

other schools. We responded in prayer rather than protest,

which is not age-appropriate or safe for our children.

Thank you again for choosing Catholic Education and for

entrusting your children to our care.

From the Deacon’s Bench by Deacon John

Now that the hectic days of Lent are over, we are fully involved in the joy of the Easter season. These days are marked with a special kind of happiness that should really envelop our entire day. Because of what Jesus did for each of us, fulfill His Father’s will, going to the Cross and Rising from the dead, eternal life forever with God and those who love God is a reality open to each of us! ALLELUIA!!!

The Season of Easter is a perfect time for all of us to learn more about our Faith, about the reality of Jesus’ Passion, and Resurrection. The Church this special time of learning this moments of Catechesis Mystagogy. This is an especially important time for new members of our church, but the reality is that each of us needs to grow in our faith, to come and be more deeply involved in the great mystery of Jesus.

Mystagogy means to “interpret the mystery”. Mystery, not in a “who done it’ kind of way, but mystery in the sense of exploring the depths of the love of God in Jesus Christ. So, we continue to explore the mystery, to engage in Mystagogy, when we begin our latest Bible study “The Passion and Resurrection Narrative”.

April 12, 2018, 7pm in the large basement room of the priests Residence (entry by the garage doors), is our start date. The study is a short one lasting about six Thursday evenings. Our concentration this study is on the Gospel accounts of the Passion of Jesus.

We all know the story, the account of Jesus’ trials and triumph. Now we delve deeper, in the words of the writers of the Gospels who were the eye wit-ness to the singularly most important even in history, the resurrection.

Please make plans to join us as we enter in the mystery, as we engage in Mystagogy. Please register by calling 631-273-8113, parish office.

VICTIMAE PASCHALI LAUDES (Secuencia de la fiesta de Pascua)

A la Víctima pascual ofrezcan alabanzas

los cristianos.

El Cordero redimió a las ovejas:

Cristo inocente reconcilió a los pecado-

res con el Padre.

La muerte y la Vida se enfrentaron

en lucha singular.

El dueño de la Vida, que había muerto,

reina vivo.

Dinos, María, ¿qué has visto en el ca-

mino? Vi el sepulcro de Cristo viviente

y la gloria del que resucitó,

a unos ángeles, el sudario y los vesti-

dos.

Resucitó Cristo, mi esperanza;

precederá en Galilea a los suyos

Sabemos que Cristo verdaderamente

resucitó de entre los muertos.

Tú, Rey victorioso, ten piedad

Amen, Aleluya.

A lo mejor nos preguntamos, ¿qué es eso de la

Secuencia? En realidad, “secuencias”, son

cuatro (no vamos entrar en detalles), obligato-

rias, dos: S. de Pascua y S. de Pentecostés.

La Secuencia exalta hoy el Misterio de la

Resurrección del Señor, a El mismo, a quienes

va dirigido y a quien tuvo el privilegio de ser la

primera en tener conocimiento de esto: María

(Magdalena), la misma recibe la encomienda

de ir a comunicar a sus hermanos el gran

acontecimiento del “sepulcro vacío”.

La Iglesia hoy esta de Fiesta, siempre, cada

domingo es la Pascua del Señor, pero hoy en

particular, de la Liturgia del día de la Resurrec-

ción se alimentan todos los domingos del año.

Este relato se complementa con “el pasaje de

Emaús”, pues, los discípulos después de

escuchar como: la Ley, los Profetas y los

Salmos hablaban de Cristo, sin embargo, no lo

reconocieron sino “al partir el Pan”. Feliz Pas-

cua de Resurrección.

Le Christ est Ressuscité: N’ayons pas peur des surprises de Dieu Chers frères et sœurs,

Dans l’évangile de la Vigile pascale, nous rencontrons d’abord les femmes qui se rendent au tombeau de Jésus

avec les aromates pour oindre son corps (cf. Lc 24,1-3). Elles viennent pour accomplir un geste de compassion,

d’affection, d’amour, un geste traditionnel envers une chère personne défunte, comme nous le faisons nous

aussi. Elles avaient suivi Jésus, l’avaient écouté, s’étaient senties comprises dans leur dignité et l’avaient

accompagné jusqu’à la fin, sur le Calvaire, et au moment de la déposition de la croix. Nous pouvons imaginer

leurs sentiments tandis qu’elles vont au tombeau : une certaine tristesse, le chagrin parce que Jésus les avait

quittées, il était mort, son histoire était terminée. Chers frères et sœurs, dans notre vie nous avons peur des

surprises de Dieu ! Il nous surprend toujours ! Le Seigneur est ainsi. Ne nous replions pas sur nous-mêmes, ne

perdons pas confiance, ne nous résignons jamais : il n’y a pas de situations que Dieu ne puisse changer, il n’y a

aucun péché qu’il ne puisse pardonner si nous nous ouvrons à Lui. Ce qui était un simple geste, un fait, accom-

pli bien sûr par amour – le fait de se rendre au tombeau –se transforme maintenant en évènement, en un fait qui

change vraiment la vie. Rien ne demeure plus comme avant, non seulement dans la vie de ces femmes, mais

aussi dans notre vie et dans l’histoire de notre humanité. Jésus n’est pas un mort, il est ressuscité, il est le

Vivant ! Les problèmes, les préoccupations de tous les jours nous poussent à nous replier sur nous-mêmes, dans

la tristesse, dans l’amertume… et là, c’est la mort. Ne cherchons pas là Celui qui est vivant !S’il te semble

difficile de le suivre, n’aies pas peur, fais-lui confiance, sois sûr que Lui, il est proche de toi, il est avec toi et te

donnera la paix que tu cherches et la force pour vivre comme Lui le veut. Qu’il nous enseigne chaque jour,

chers frères et sœurs à ne pas chercher parmi les morts Celui qui est vivant.
