The Word from Fr. Pat / La Palabra del Padre Pat / Słowo od Ojca Pat

                              The right hand of the LORD has struck with power;
                                     the right hand of the LORD is exalted.
                                             I shall not die, but live,
                                      and declare the works of the LORD.
                                                 Psalm 118:16-17

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hardly know what to say to you on this Easter Sunday. Even when we began Lent on Ash Wednesday, we
had incredible crowds at all of our Masses and prayer services. It was an incredible beginning to what
promised to be an awesome Lenten retreat for us. And it did become a retreat, albeit a much different one than
any of us expected.

It has been a Lent filled with social distancing, staying in place, worrying about our loved ones who worked in
“essential” jobs, grieving the loss of loved ones. I have been telling people, “Stay well, stay safe, and stay
home.” To be clear, this is not the kind of thing a pastor ever wants to tell his people. So it has broken my
heart that we could not be together, and even more breaks my heart that we cannot celebrate Easter together.
Because this is supposed to be a day of joy and victory. And yet, we are still fighting this thing.

But I think we have to consider the reality of this great feast. Our Lord, who knows our suffering because he
suffered too – greatly – willingly went to the Cross for us and paid the price for our sins. And that those sins
and our death would not be the beginning and end of our existence, on this day, he burst forth from the grave
and flooded the world with grace: the possibility of living forever in the kingdom of heaven. God’s mercy is
never limited by suffering.

And so it will be for us. We will get past this, and when we do, I believe that we will be a people who burst
forth into the world and flood the world with the grace of Christ risen from the dead. And I think we maybe
won’t take our blessings for granted, and maybe we will be kinder to one another, savoring the opportunity just
to be with each other. Please God we will be different – we will have clear priorities and first among them will
be the God who sustains us, and the loved one through whom he shows us his love. Please God let that be so.

During all of this, I have been so taken by your generosity. So many of you signed up for online giving or
mailed in your contributions. Please know that helps us so much. I want to keep paying the wonderful staff
that we have here because they sacrifice so much for the love of the Church and our God each day. And you
are helping me to do that. I’ve also been struck by how many of you have been sending in your capital
campaign pledges and contributions; those will be so important as we look toward accomplishing the work that
needs to be done on our facilities. Thank you so much for the ways that you have supported us: it does not go
unnoticed, and it is very much appreciated.

Please know that I pray for all of you each day. I know how much you’re hurting right now because I am too.
But we are in this together: God gave us each other as an incredible gift, and it’s a gift for which I am thankful
every single day.

Easter is the story of God’s powerful control over life and death. Death is not the end. We know the way to
the Father because we have known Christ our Lord. May he lead us all one day to everlasting life!

Yours in Christ and His Blessed Mother,
Father Pat Mulcahy, Pastor

The Word from Fr. Pat / La Palabra del Padre Pat / Słowo od Ojca Pat

                                     La diestra del Señor lo ha enaltecido,
                                      la diestra del Señor hizo proezas!
                                         No, no moriré sino que viviré
                                        y contaré las obras del Señor.
                                               Salmo 118: 16-17

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo:
Apenas sé qué decir este domingo de Pascua. Incluso cuando comenzamos la Cuaresma el Miércoles de
Ceniza, tuvimos multitudes increíbles en todas nuestras misas y servicios de oración. Fue un comienzo
increíble para lo que prometió ser un increíble retiro de Cuaresma para nosotros. Y se convirtió en un retiro,
aunque muy diferente de lo que cualquiera de nosotros esperaba.
Ha sido una Cuaresma llena de distanciamiento social, permaneciendo en casa, preocupándonos por nuestros
seres queridos que realizan trabajos "esenciales", lamentando la pérdida de seres queridos. Le he estado
diciendo a la gente: "Manténganse bien, manténganse seguros y quédense en casa". Para ser claros, este no es
el tipo de cosas que un pastor quiere decirle a su pueblo. Por lo tanto, me ha roto el corazón no poder estar
juntos, y aún más me afecta que no podamos celebrar la Pascua juntos. Porque se supone que este es un día de
alegría y victoria. Y aun así, todavía estamos luchando contra esta cosa.
Sin embargo, creo que tenemos que considerar la realidad de esta gran fiesta. Nuestro Señor, quien conoce
nuestro sufrimiento porque él también sufrió, en gran medida, voluntariamente fue a la Cruz por nosotros y
pagó el precio de nuestros pecados. Y que esos pecados y nuestra muerte no serían el principio y el fin de
nuestra existencia, en este día, él salió de la tumba e inundó el mundo con gracia: la posibilidad de vivir para
siempre en el reino de los cielos. La misericordia de Dios nunca está limitada por el sufrimiento.
Y así será para nosotros. Superaremos esto, y cuando lo hagamos, creo que seremos un pueblo que irrumpirá
en el mundo e inundará el mundo con la gracia de Cristo resucitado de entre los muertos. Y creo que tal vez no
daremos nuestras bendiciones por sentado, y tal vez seremos más amables el uno con el otro, saboreando la
oportunidad de estar juntos. Por Dios, seremos diferentes: tendremos prioridades claras y el primero de ellos
será el Dios que nos sostiene y el ser querido a través del cual nos muestra su amor. Por favor, Dios que así
sea.
Durante todo esto, me ha cautivado su generosidad. Muchos de ustedes se inscribieron en donaciones en línea
o enviaron sus contribuciones por correo. Por favor, sepa que nos ayuda mucho. Quiero seguir pagando al
maravilloso personal que tenemos aquí porque cada día sacrifican mucho por el amor de la Iglesia y de nuestro
Dios. Y me están ayudando a hacer eso. También me ha sorprendido cuántos de ustedes han estado enviando
sus promesas y contribuciones de campaña capital; eso será tan importante a medida que busquemos lograr el
trabajo que se debe hacer en nuestras instalaciones. Muchas gracias por las formas en que nos ha apoyado: no
pasa desapercibido y es muy apreciado.
Por favor, sepa que oro por todos ustedes cada día. Sé cuánto están sufriendo en estos momentos porque yo
también sufro. Pero estamos juntos en esto: Dios nos dio el uno al otro como un regalo increíble, y es un
regalo por el que estoy agradecido todos los días.
La Pascua es la historia del poderoso control de Dios sobre la vida y la muerte. La muerte no es el fin.
Conocemos el camino al Padre porque hemos conocido a Cristo nuestro Señor. ¡Que nos guíe a todos un día a
la vida eterna!
Tuya en Cristo y su Santísima Madre,
Padre Pat Mulcahy, Párroco

                                                 Psalm 118

Drodzy Bracia i Siostry w Chrystusie,

Nie wiem co powinienem powiedzieć w tę niedzielę wielkanocną. Jeszcze kiedy zaczynaliśmy Wielki Post w
Środę Popielcową, mieliśmy niesamowite tłumy wiernych na wszystkich naszych Mszach i nabożeństwach
modlitewnych. Był to wspaniały początek nadchodzących rekolekcji wielkopostnych, które przecież odbyły
się, chociaż zupełnie inaczej niż sobie to wyobrażaliśmy.

Był to Wielki Post podczas którego martwiliśmy się o naszych bliskich pracujących w służbie innym,
staraliśmy się utrzymać ‘social distancing’, pozostając w miarę możliwości w domach. Często powtarzałem
ludziom: „Bądź zdrowy, bądź bezpieczny i zostań w domu”. Szczerze mówiąc, żaden pastor nie lubi mówić
takich rzeczy swoim wiernym. Krwawi moje serce na samą myśl, że nie możemy być razem, a jeszcze
bardziej gdy pomyślę, że nie możemy wspólnie świętować Wielkanocy. Ponieważ to ma być dzień radości i
zwycięstwa, a my wciąż walczymy z wirusem.

Myślę jednak, że musimy wziąć pod uwagę rzeczywistość tej wielkiej uroczystości. Nasz Pan, który zna nasze
cierpienie, ponieważ również cierpiał - bardzo - chętnie idąc za nas na Krzyż płacąc wysoką cenę za nasze
grzechy. I że te grzechy i nasza śmierć nie są początkiem i końcem naszej egzystencji. W tym Wielkim Dniu
powstał z grobu i zalał świat ogromną łaską dając nam możliwość życia wiecznego w królestwie niebieskim.
Miłosierdzie Boże nigdy nie jest ograniczone cierpieniem.

I tak będzie z nami. Przetrzymamy trudności, a kiedy to zrobimy, wierzę, że będziemy ludem, który zaleje cały
świat łaską Chrystusa zmartwychwstałego. I myślę, że docenimy Boże błogosławieństwa zsyłane na nas i
będziemy dla siebie milsi, ciesząc się że znów jesteśmy razem. Prosimy Cię Panie , będziemy inni - będziemy
mieli wyraźne priorytety, a wśród nich będzie najpierw Bóg, który nas wspiera, oraz bliscy przez których
okazujesz nam Swoją miłość. Proszę, Boże, niech tak się stanie.

Niech Dobry Pan wynagrodzi waszą hojność. Tak wielu z was zapisało się na ofiarę online lub wysłało ją
pocztą. Pamiętajcie, że to nam bardzo pomaga. Chciałbym utrzymać nasz wspaniały personel. Wszyscy
każdego dnia tak bardzo poświęcają się dla miłości Kościoła i naszego Boga. Dziekuje Wam za pomoc w tym.
Zdumiało mnie również to, jak wielu z was przesłało swoje obietnice i wkład w kampanię kapitałową;
będziemy dążyć do wykonania prac i projektów tak ważnych dla naszej parafii. Dziękuję za to wsparcie które
nie pozostaje niezauważone.

Proszę wiedzcie, że modlę się za was wszystkich każdego dnia. Wiem jak bardzo cierpicie teraz, bo mnie też
jest ciężko. Ale jesteśmy w tym razem: Bóg dał nam siebie jako niesamowity dar i jest to dar, za który jestem
wdzięczny każdego dnia.

Wielkanoc to historia potężnej mocy Boga nad życiem i śmiercią. Śmierć nie jest końcem. Znamy drogę do
Ojca, ponieważ poznaliśmy Chrystusa, naszego Pana. Niech poprowadzi nas wszystkich do życia wiecznego!

Wasz w Chrystusie i Jego Najświętszej Matce,
Ojciec Pat Mulcahy, Pastor
