St. Francis of Assisi Church

Iglesia San Francisco de Asís EASTER SUNDAY — DOMINGO DE PASCUA

1

Dear Parishioners and Friends, Peace and blessings! This weekend we enter into Holy Week, the most sacred me in the Church year. How different it will be this year celebra ng from home and watching Mass on TV or our computer. But this too shall pass. That first Holy Week there was much confusion among the Apostles, not knowing from day to day what was next. Sounds like us right now as we go from day to day. Even on that first Easter when Jesus rose from the dead, the apostles were in seclusion. But He s ll rose. We are praying for all of you during this me and ask for your con nued prayers. Fr. John con nues to re-main in the hospital and our two Spanish deacons are well on the road to recovery. Be sure to watch us daily as we celebrate Mass live streamed on our parish Facebook page. Blessings to you all for a Holy Week filled with many graces. In His Peace.

Fr. Martin Queridos Feligreses y Amigos, Paz y bendiciones! Este fin de semana entramos en la Semana Santa, el

empo más sagrado en el año de la Iglesia. Qué diferente será este año celebrando desde casa y viendo misa en la televisión o en nuestra computadora. Pero esto también pasara. Esa primera Semana Santa hubo mucha confu-sión entre los Apóstoles, al no saber día a día lo que ven-dría después. Suena como nosotros ahora a medida que avanzamos día a día. Incluso en esa primera Pascua cuando Jesús resucitó de la muerte, los apóstoles esta-ban recluidos. Pero aun así se levantó. Oramos por todos ustedes durante este empo y solicitamos sus oraciones con nuas. El Padre Juan con-

núa en el hospital y nuestros dos diáconos hispanos están en el camino de la recuperación. Asegúrese de vernos diariamente mientras cele-bramos la Misa en vivo transmi da en nuestra página de Facebook de la parroquia. Bendiciones para todos ustedes por una Sema-na Santa llena de muchas gracias. En Su Paz,

Padre Martin

As we continue to deal with the daily effects of the coronavirus, we as a parish are missing our parishioners with no Masses being said publicly. Fr. Prem and Fr. Martin are saying daily private Masses for the intentions listed in the bulletin. Amidst all this we still have our bills to pay. We would be most grateful if you would continue

to support our parish by sending in or dropping off your weekly offerings. Thank you.

A medida que continuamos lidiando con los efectos diarios del coronavirus, nosotros como parroquia estamos extrañando a

nuestros feligreses sin que se digan misas públicamente. El Padre Prem y el Padre Martin están diciendo misas privadas diarias por las intenciones enumeradas en el boletín. En medio de todo esto, todavía tenemos que pagar nuestras facturas. Le agradeceríamos

que continuara apoyando a nuestra parroquia enviando o retirando sus ofertas semanales. Gracias.

UNA ORACIÓN A SAN ROQUE

Salve, oh santísimo Roque, nacido de una familia noble, marcado en el lado izquierdo con el signo de la Cruz.

St. Roque, en tus viajes lejanos, sanaste de una manera maravillosa con tu toque saludable, los enfermos que

fueron golpeados con la plaga mortal. ¡Salve, angelical San Roque! Quien, por la intervención de un mensajero celestial, obtuvo de Dios el privilegio de preservar de la

plaga a todos los que te invocan. Oren por nosotros, Ruega por nosotros, oh bendecido Roch, para que sea-

mos dignos de las promesas de Cristo. Oh Dios, que gra-baste en una tableta, de la mano de un ángel, la

promesa hecha al Beato Roch de preservar de la plaga a cualquiera que invoque su nombre, seguro, por sus mé-ritos y oraciones, para garantizar que podamos ser lib-

erado de la plaga del alma y del cuerpo. Por Cristo nues-tro Señor. Amén.

El Angel dijo a las mujeres: No teman, yo sé que ustedes buscan a Jesús, el

Crucificado.No está aquí, porque ha resucitado como lo había dicho. Vengan a

ver el lugar donde estaba,y vayan en seguida a decir a sus discípulos: Ha resucitado de

entre los muertos

A PRAYER TO ST. ROCH

Hail, O most holy Roch, born of a noble family, marked on the left side with the sign of the Cross. St. Roch, in your far journeys, you healed in a marvelous way with

your health-giving touch, the sick who were struck with the deadly plague. Hail, angelic St. Roch! Who, by the

intervention of a heavenly messenger, obtained from God the privilege of preserving from the plague all those who invoke you. Pray for us, O Blessed Roch, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. O God, who didst engrave on a tablet, by the hand of an angel, the promise

made to made to Blessed Roch of preserving from the plague whosoever should invoke his name, vouchsafe, by his merits and prayers, to grant that we may be delivered from the plague of both soul and body. Through Christ

our Lord. Amen.
