         A LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR, FR. BRITTO BERCHMANS
                  Dear St Paul of the Cross Parishioners,

                    On this day that the Lord has made, I want to wish each and every one of you the joys of this holy season.
                    May we all experience the full life that the Risen Lord brings! Let us con nue to hold our parish community
                    in prayer. We rejoice at Easter because death is swallowed up in victory. Death has lost its s ng and we are
                    assured of eternal life. The sadness and gloom of Good Friday yield to the triumphal joy of Easter morn.
Easter always arrives in spring when nature begins to sprout. This is not a mere coincidence. It reminds us of the profound
significance of this feast. If we are filled with the Easter spirit, we must be full of life.

We rejoice with our brothers and sisters who are receiving this new life through the Easter sacraments. We congratulate our
sojourners who will be bap zed; we applaud those who will receive the Eucharist for the first me; we cheer those who will
be anointed in the sacrament of confirma on; and, we are delighted that some of them will enter into full communion with
the Catholic Church. Our parish is being filled with new life through their faith journeys and we li them up in prayer.

Can you imagine what the apostles were feeling before Jesus appeared to them on Easter Sunday? They probably were
wondering what the Lord would say to them. They had abandoned Him at His crucial hour because they were afraid for their
own lives. Even Peter who had professed his loyalty to Jesus had denied Him three mes. Judas had betrayed Him. Even
though they knew how readily He forgave sinners, they were concerned.

There is an old story that goes like this. A er mee ng the Risen Lord, Mary Magdalene comes to the disciples to bring them
the good news. She says to Peter and the others: “I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the Lord is indeed
alive. I have seen Him. The bad news – Jesus has been asking where all of you have been the last three days.” The behavior
of the disciples during last three days of Jesus’ life showed that they were weak, human beings just like us.

When Jesus finally appeared to them in the upper room, His message was simple. “Peace be with you,” He said. “I give you
peace that the world cannot give.” Jesus offered them peace that comes from forgiveness. He erased their past and invited
them to step into a new future. They could begin again. The Lord once again proved that He is the God of second chances.

He certainly gave a second chance to Peter. If He were just like us, He would have said to the first apostle: “Peter, you let me
down. I called you rock but you proved that you were nothing but sand. You are not going to be my vicar. I will give that tle
to John who remained faithful to the end and stood at the foot of the cross.” Instead, all that the Master had to ask His fallen
disciple was a simple ques on: “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Fully aware of his own failure, Peter responded with
hear elt sincerity, “Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus persisted in His choice of Peter as the head of the Church.

Easter is all about hope. That hope springs from the constancy of this God’s love that offers us second chances. When the
gospels were wri en, persecu on was already raging against the early Chris ans. Some of them fell away from the faith.
Probably some faithful Chris ans wondered how it was possible that some had denied their faith. The gospel writers offered
hope because even the apostles had failed and yet the Lord had reinstated them.

Next Sunday we will be celebra ng Divine Mercy Sunday. Thanks to Saint Faus na, who is responsible for the spread of
Divine Mercy, we are once again reminded of the boundless ocean of God’s love. During the Easter season let us approach
the Sacrament of Reconcilia on and taste the love of the Son of God Who shed the last drop of His blood in order to win our
hearts. Let us rejoice in our God Who con nues to offer us His mercy and forgiveness. He gives us not only two but many,
many chances. He knows that we are weak and we fall. Let us thank Him for His unfailing love. Let our churches resound
with alleluias because the Lord is risen and we have reason to hope.

May the joy and peace of Easter fill your hearts and homes! I have prayed for you and your loved ones during the Sacred
Triduum and at all my Easter Masses. Please pray for the parish and for your priests!

Yours warmly,

                               CONGRATULATIONS FR. PETER!

Dear St Paul of the Cross Parishioners,

The last seven years, Fr Peter has been a crucial part of our parish and he has served our community with dedica on,
kindness, and sincerity. Thank God, finally, the archdiocese has recognized his abili es and is invi ng him to take on
greater responsibility for the people of God. Fr Peter has been appointed pastor of St Ferdinand parish in Chicago. He
will begin his pastorate on July 1, 2021 as St Paul will welcome on that day a new associate in addi on to the new
pastor. I am deeply grateful to Fr Peter for all that he has given to us. To me, he has been a younger brother who
willingly did whatever I asked of him. I will miss him. So will the parish. We wish him the best in his ministry and send
him with our prayers and love. Please pray for our parish and for us. God bless!

Fr Bri o

         LENTEN ALMSGIVING 2021 — IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GIVE!
                HELP THE PUREPECHA INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN MECCA, CA BUILD A CHURCH

This Lent, St. Paul of the Cross is partnering with Catholic Extension to con nue to help build a chapel for our brothers
and sisters in the North Shore Community in the Diocese of San Bernardino, CA. Your efforts will assist and sustain this
parish so that they can con nue their spiritual works of mercy and serve this growing community.

We started fundraising for this project last year. Our efforts to help our brothers and sisters in Mecca, CA, came to an
abrupt halt when Coronavirus forced our church doors shut. We did raise $44,000 and sent the amount to Catholic
Extension. However, we would like to redouble our efforts this Lent to help this indigenous community to have a church
of their own.

You may donate either by using the special envelopes at the entrances of our Church or by going to our online Give
Central page at: www.givecentral.org/loca on/133/event/29561

         Go to our website at www.spc-church.org for more informa on and pictures/videos explaining the project.
                                             Thank you for your generosity!

                 PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION CHAPEL
                             EASTER—THE GREAT MESSAGE OF LOVE TO THE WORLD

The dawn of Easter Sunday brings a spiritual glow to Chris ans all over the world. It brings us out of the darkness that
has prevailed over man since Adam’s sin.
Experiencing the three days of the Triduum, one would dwell on the darkness of the Passion and Death of Jesus as a
horrific display of what suffering He endured for us. But from this darkness and dismay, look at what He presented to
us in joy and hope.
Reflec ng on the gi s Jesus gave to us through events of the Triduum, we understand that Jesus presented a
great message of love to the world.

On Holy Thursday, at the Last
Supper, Jesus ins tuted the Holy
Eucharist giving to us His Body
and Blood in the form of bread
and wine to be received as food
for our salva on, to be the object
of physical adora on, and to
provide His constant physical
presence in our lives.
On Good Friday, Jesus died for
us and opened up the gates of
heaven allowing us to seek our
salva on. Through His suffering
and death, Jesus gave us the
cleansing comfort of His
forgiveness and changed the
darkness of His death into the
brightness of hope for mankind.
On Easter Sunday, Jesus rose
from the dead, proving to
mankind that He was truly the
Son of God, the second Person
of the Blessed Trinity. It was like
a sign of approval for this great
message of love to the world.
God, through His forgiveness, was
displaying His love to His sinful
children. It is up to us to nurture
a loving rela onship we develop
with God by sharing the blessings
He bestows on us with others. It
is the venue that brings out His
love in us to be an example that                                Save us, Savior of the world,
can change the lives of others.                   for by your Cross and ResurrecƟon, you have set us free.
