EASTER CANDLE 2021
Argeni Gudiel once again designed a beautiful paschal candle.
The theme of this year’s design is the ten Plagues of Egypt known
to us from the Book of Exodus. You can read about the plagues
that punished Egypt for enslaving God’s people and not letting
them go in Exodus Chapters 7–
11. You can also listen to them
by going to the OUR DAILY
BREAD section of the parish
website.
May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star:
the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son,
who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity,
and lives and reigns for ever and ever
- from the Exsultet
Blessed Easter

Segundo Domingo de Pascua- Domingo de la Divina Misericordia 11 de Abril 2021
Hermanos y hermanas,
Estamos celebrando el segundo domingo de Pascua también muy
bien conocido como el domingo de la Divina Misericordia. San
Juan Pablo II, en aquel entonces Papa Juan Pablo II, proclamó el 30 de
abril del 2000 que el segundo Domingo de Pascua se establecía cómo el
domingo de la Divina Misericordia y a celebrarse todos los años cuando
Feliz Pascua canonizo a Santa Faustina Kowalska. En el diario que ella escribió, en una
de sus visiones Jesucristo le dijo “Deseo que la fiesta de la Misericordia
sea refugio y amparo para todas las almas, especialmente para los pobres
pecadores. En ese día se abrirán las puertas de Mi Misericordia. Derramo
El alma que se confiese y reciba la Santa Comunión obtendrá el perdón
total de las culpas y de las penas.” todo un mar de gracias sobre las almas
que se acercan a la fuente de Mi Misericordia. El alma que se confiese y
reciba la Santa Comunión obtendrá el perdón total de las culpas y de las penas.” La Fiesta de la Divina
Misericordia tiene como objetivo fundamental llegar a la vida y corazones de todos los pecadores para anuncia
esta noticia- Dios es misericordioso y ama al ser humano - y mas aun para que sepan que “cuanto mas grande es
el pecador, tanto mas grande es el derecho que tiene a Mi Misericordia” como le dijo Jesus a Sta. Faustina. Con el
fin de celebrar apropiadamente esta festividad, se recomienda rezar la Coronilla y la Novena a la Divina Misericordia;
confesarse para estar en estado de gracia -para la cual es indispensable realizar primero un buen examen de conciencia-, y
recibir la Santa Comunión el día de la Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia.
En el evangelio de hoy escucharemos de los propios labio de Cristo “La Paz este con ustedes” si hoy te descubres en
necesidad de paz, solamente necesitas descubrirte pecador y en necesidad de la paz de Cristo, y el te dará su paz. Animo
acerquémonos a Cristo que no nos trata según nuestros pecados sino que nos llama a su encuentro, al encuentro del
resucitado que nos dice “La Paz este con ustedes.”
P. Fernando J. Vivas
Homilía de Resurrección
Aquél que es devoto y amante de Dios, que disfrute de esta magnífica y brillante fiesta. Aquél que es un siervo
agradecido, que entre alegremente en el gozo del Señor. Aquél que está cansado en ayuno, que reciba ahora el
denario de recompensa. Si alguien ha trabajado desde la primera hora, que reciba su gratificación correspondiente.
Si alguien ha llegado después de la tercera hora, que participe en la fiesta agradecido. Aquél que llega después de la
sexta hora, que no dude: él nada pierde. Si alguien ha demorado hasta la novena hora, que se aproxime, sin
vacilación. Aquél que llega en la undécima hora, que no tema a causa de su demora, porque el Señor es de
gracia y de generosidad. Él recibe tanto a los últimos como a los primeros. Él concede descanso al que viene en la
undécima hora, igual como aquél que ha trabajado desde la primera hora. Él tiene misericordia del último, y
satisface al primero. A aquél da, y a éste regala. Él recibe las obras y acepta la intención. Honra los hechos, y alaba
el empeño.
Por lo tanto, entren ustedes todos al gozo de su Señor. Los primeros y los últimos, tomen su
recompensa. Ricos y pobres, regocíjense y alégrense juntos. Porque la mesa está llena, deleitaos de ella todos. El
ternero está cebado entero; que nadie se retire con hambre. Regocíjense todos del banquete de la fe. Disfrutad d e
todas las riquezas de la bondad. Que nadie se queje de su pobreza, porque el Reino Universal se ha
manifestado. Que nadie se lamente a causa de los pecados, porque el perdón ha surgido resplandeciente del
Sepulcro. Que nadie tema la muerte, porque la muerte del Salvador nos ha librado. Porque destruyó la muerte
cuando ésta se apoderó de Él. Aquél que descendió al infierno aniquiló al infierno; y lo hizo experimentar la
amargura; cuando éste tomó su Cuerpo.
Esto predijo Isaías cuando exclamó diciendo: “El infierno fue amargado, cuando Te encontró abajo. Ha sido
amargado, funestamente, porque ha sido destruido. Ha sido amargado porque ha sido encadenado. Recibió un
Cuerpo, y he aquí que era Dios. Tomó tierra, y encontró Cielo. Tomó lo visible, y fue vencido invisiblemente”.
Oh muerte, ¿dónde está tu poder? Oh infierno, ¿dónde está tu victoria? Cristo resucitó y fuiste aniquilado.
Cristo resucitó y fueron arrojados los demonios, Cristo resucitó y los ángeles se regocijaron. Cristo resucitó y reinó
la Vida. Cristo resucitó, y los sepulcros se vaciaron de los muertos. Porque Cristo habiendo resucitado de entre los
muertos, fue el Primogénito de entre los muertos, a Él sea la gloria y el poder por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Sn. Juan Crisóstomo
