George F. Handel
“Hallelujah” from Messiah (Parish Choir, Brass and Tympani)
First performed in London on March 23, 1743, King George II was so moved that he
rose to his feet! As is true today, when the King stands, so do all present also rise;
thus engendering the tradition. It has become the traditional practice for the last 274
years for the hearers of the “Hallelujah” to
STAND RESPECTFULLY IN PLACE until it is Completed.
La primera vez que se canto el Aleluya de Handel, en marzo 23, 1743,
el Rey Jorge II se conmovio tanto que se puso de pie.
Asi es hoy, cuando el Rey se pone de pie todos
los presentes lo hacen tambien; Esa ha sido la tradicion deside hace 274 años,
todos las que escuchan el Aleluya de Handel, permanecen de pie
respetuaosamente hasta que termina.
Hallelujah! For The Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth! Hallelujah!
The kingdom of this world is become the Kingdom of our Lord and of
His Christ, And He shall reign forever and ever.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Hallelujah!

History’s Greatest Event
Today we celebrate the most important mystery of
our faith, the greatest event in the Bible and all of
history. Nothing before the events of Easter morning
contains their full meaning, and nothing after makes
sense without them.
Jesus’
conquering
of
death validated all of his
preaching,
teaching,
and
miracles. Now his doctrine of
love, forgiveness, faith, and
baptism is confirmed, as is
God’s definitive revelation for
man’s salvation. In short, the
resurrection proves that Jesus
wasn’t simply a good man, a
wise
teacher,
or
a
revolutionary. He was all those things and more—he
was the Son of God.
Without Jesus’ rising from the dead, you cannot
explain his appearing to the women, apostles, disciples,
and crowds before his ascension. You cannot explain
the transformation of the timid and baffled apostles into
powerful preachers or the conversion of St. Paul from a
murdering Pharisee to a persecuted Christian. Without
the truth of the resurrection, you cannot explain the
courage of any of the martyrs. Indeed, the Romans and
Jews took these martyrs seriously. And if either group
could have produced a body of evidence or a convincing
explanation to debunk the story, they would have.
So today, set aside your Lenten focus on the
mocked, beaten, and buried Jesus. Celebrate the
resurrection. Christ the Lord—and Christianity—is a
reality and a force. Rejoice! Reflect on the truth and
power of this day, and allow God’s Son to open the
tombs of your heart and life.
—Fr. Mark Haydu,

ADORACIÓN
DOMINGO DE PASCUA: LA RESURRECCIÓN DEL SEÑOR
REGOCIJÉMONOS Y ALEGRÉMONOS
“¡Este es el día en que actuó el Señor: sea nuestra alegría y nuestro gozo!” (Salmo 118:24). Recordemos que
estas palabras del salmo responsorial de hoy no sólo brotan del corazón de los que están reunidos en nuestra
parroquia. También son cantadas por los pobres en pequeños barrios de toda América Central y Sudamérica. Son
cantadas por aquellos a los que se les niega la libertad religiosa en nuestro mundo; estos cristianos elevan sus
voces en lugares de culto clandestinos. Son cantadas por personas que han perdido seres queridos a manos del
terrorismo y la guerra alrededor del mundo. Incluso en medio del conflicto y la división, los cristianos nos unimos
para declarar que la pobreza, la soledad, la violencia y la división nunca jamás tendrán tanto poder como la Vida,
la Muerte y la Resurrección de Jesucristo. Sin duda, ¡regocijémonos este día y alegrémonos!

(Hch 10:34a, 37-43).

alegrémonos (Salmo 118 [117]).
(1) Segunda lectura — Todos

(2) Segunda lectura — Cristo nuestra Pascua fue sacrificado; por tanto celebremos (1 Corintios 5:6b-8).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hace
3,000 años
los chinos
pintaban
huevos de
pato
para
celebrar la
primavera.
Los egipcios
pintaban huevos en honor de la diosa Ishtar, mientras
ingleses y alemanes lo hacían para celebrar al sol.
Eventualmente la práctica continuó en honor de la
resurrección de Cristo.
La costumbre de esconder huevos hervidos y
pintados ha tomado nueva vida entre los
mexicamericanos. Cada Cuaresma mi mamá solía
guardar los cascarones de los huevos que nos
comíamos. Recuerdo con alegría la costumbre de
colorear los cascarones el Sábado de Gloria para que
la coneja nos los escondiera para la Pascua. Al día
siguiente, después de Misa nos reuníamos a buscar
cascarones y romperlos sobre la cabeza de quien se
arrimara, para bañarlos con el confeti multicolor.
La costumbre de celebrar la Pascua con
cascarones decorados es una bella tradición. Esta
costumbre muestra que todas las naciones pueden
agregar a la Iglesia cristiana tradiciones propias de su
cultura, ya que Jesucristo dio su vida por todas ellas.
Es justo celebrar la Resurrección del autor de la vida
con símbolos de fecundidad y todos los colores del
gozo.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,

¡ALÉGRENSE!
¡Alégrese también nuestra madre la Iglesia!
revestida de luz tan brillante;
resuene este templo con las aclamaciones del pueblo.

REJOICE AND BE GLAD
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118:24). Let us
remember that these words of today’s responsorial psalm are not only sung from the
hearts of those gathered in our parish. They are also sung by the poor in tiny barrios
throughout Central and South America. They are sung by those denied religious
freedom in our world; these Christians lift their voices in clandestine places of worship.
These words are sung by people who have lost loved ones to acts of terrorism and war around the
globe. Even in the midst of conflict and division, Christians still come together to declare that
poverty, loneliness, violence, and division will never, ever have as much power as the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Indeed, let us rejoice this day and be glad!

Kairos Cookies
Well it is that time of year again. The Kairos team will be going into Allendale Correctional
Institute, April 26 through April 30, for the 21st time to take the word of the Lord to the
residents.
We will take approximately 38 volunteers to the prison to present the Gospel to 36-42
residents with the hope that the seed of the Lord will fertilize in some of these fellows. As you know, we take 7000
dozen cookies into the prison to give to all the inmates, 1300 guys, so that those not making “The Walk” will also
have some connection to our Ministry.
Please help us make this huge goal by making cookies and bringing them to the parish office by Tuesday the 25th
of April, no later than noon.
Cookies must be oatmeal, chocolate chip, peanut butter or sugar.
They can have no powdered sugar or fruit on top.
It is helpful if they are packed in zip locked bags with a dozen in each bag.
Do not use aluminum foil to wrap cookies
Do not pack in large boxes, shoe boxes or pizza boxes are ideal
Thank you for your help, prayers and donations both now and in the past “walks”.
The 2016 Annual Report from the Allendale Correctional Institute was dedicated with respect and gratitude to the
volunteer men and women of the Kairos Prison Ministries who have supported the men of ACI for 10 years.
If you have any questions,
please call John Burt at 843-705-9798.

Our wish is to have someone present for each of the
24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation and
reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry.

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
In the 1930s, Our Lord appeared
to a Polish nun, St. Maria Faustina
Kowalska. Jesus instructed her in
praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet,
promising extraordinary graces to
those who would recite this special devotion.
The Chaplet can be recited anytime but Jesus
specifically asked that it be recited as a novena from
Good Friday to the Saturday after Easter. Jesus
also revealed to her the establishment of the Feast
of Divine Mercy, held on the Sunday after Easter.
Jesus told St. Faustina, "My daughter, tell the
whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire
that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and a shelter for
all souls and especially for poor sinners. I pour out a
whole ocean of graces upon those souls who
approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will
go to confession and receive Holy Communion shall
obtain complete forgiveness. Let no soul fear to
draw near to Me, even though its sins be as
scarlet.” (Easter confession will satisfy that
condition.)
The novena prayer and chaplet leaflets are
available in the narthex of the Church.
To conclude the novena, you are invited to attend
the "Divine Mercy Sunday" prayer service Sunday,
April 23 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Gregory the Great
Church.

BAILANDO DE ALEGRÍA
Las personas dicen que el sol baila este día de
alegría por la Resurreción del Salvador.
—Alexander Carmichael
REGINA COELI
(Es el ángelus del tiempo pascual, es decir, el que se
reza durante los 50 días siguientes al Domingo de
Resurrección, hasta el día de la Ascensión del Señor).
Reina del cielo, alégrate, aleluya,
porque el Señor, a quien mereciste llevar, aleluya,
ha resucitado, según su palabra, aleluya.
Ruega a Dios por nosotros, aleluya.
V. Gózate y alégrate, Virgen María, aleluya.
R. Porque resucitó verdaderamente el Señor, aleluya.
Oración: ¡Oh Dios, que por la resurrección de tu Hijo.
nuestro Señor Jesucristo, te has dignado alegrar al
mundo! Concédenos, te rogamos, que por la intercesión
de su Madre, la Virgen María, alcancemos los gozos de
la vida eterna. Por el mismo Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
Amén.
