EASTER 2017
The Power of the Risen Christ and Dramatic Missionary Growth
in the Church of Rockville Centre
DIOCESE OF ROCKVILLE CENTRE
OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
Dear Friends:
As we celebrate Easter wit our families and our parish families, we ask the Risen Lord for a true resurrection of our belief
that dramatic missionary growth of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Rockville Centre can and will happen.
The courageous Cardinal Van Thuan, who witnessed powerfully to his Catholic faith while locked for years in a Vietnam
prison, described the logic of Christ’s resurrection in our lives in this way: “Jesus cast fire on the earth and He desires the
earth to be set ablaze with its brilliant light. You must be the bright flame kindled by apostolic zeal; from our bright light
other torches must be kindled until the whole world is a vast sea of living flame.”
Together, let’s each one of us be instruments of the Risen Lord who start that “vast sea of living flame” here in the Church
of Rockville Centre, a vast sea of living flame that spreads throughout the Church in the Northeast, around the country to
the whole world.
Consider Katie, a Senior at an Oyster Bay area public high school. She was recently accepted to Notre Dame University in
South Bend and will most likely major in Finance. Notre Dame connects incoming students by Social Media so that they
can interact and get to know each other a bit before they ever set foot on campus. Through a series of online conversations,
Katie eloquently witnessed in a natural way to the cosmic power of the Catholic Mass streaming through every dimension
of her life and was able to convince in a gentle and effective way an incoming freshman from Wyoming to come back to
Mass.
When Katie told me this story, I was so deeply moved that this winning and charismatic young woman had heard Pope
Francis’ call to be a missionary disciple and was setting an example for both her peers and every generation of Catholics of
how to reach out in faith and in the spirit of the Divine Mercy to others. She was also living the power of Christ’s
Resurrection by being the instrument of spiritual resurrection in a young man’s life. I can imagine Katie and her class mate
from Wyoming saying a prayer and lighting a candle together—being part of the “vast sea of living flame” at Notre
Dame’s mystic Grotto at the center of campus sometime in August when they both arrive on campus.
The story of Katie and her Notre Dame classmate is a moving and inspiring challenge to each one of us to ask people to
come home to their Catholic faith and to invite others to consider the Splendor of Truth and Mercy of our Catholic faith.
This Easter, you and I rediscover the power of Christ’s Resurrection in a new and fresh way. A renewed love and
confidence in the power of the Risen Christ refreshes and strengthens our marriages, our family relationships and every
friendship we experience in the course of our lives. A rediscovery of the power of Christ’s resurrection helps our families
become part of the “vast sea of living flame” that transforms the world and history.
This Easter 2017 we pray together that the light of the Divine Mercy that streams from the glorified wounds of the Risen
Lord may touch the wounds of our families and the wounds of poor families, immigrant and refugee families separated by
long distances and upheaval, families living in the midst of war, oppression and persecution, and families struggling with
drug abuse and the opioid crisis.
Know that as your Shepherd and a Successor of the Apostles what an honor it is to be the servant of each one of your
families as together we embrace the Holy Spirit’s call to dramatic missionary growth in the Church of Rockville Centre.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+ JOHN O. BARRES

PASCUA DE 2017
El Poder del Cristo Resucitado y el Dramático Crecimiento Misionero
en la Iglesia de Rockville Centre
DIOCESE OF ROCKVILLE CENTRE
OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
Queridos amigos:
Al celebrar la Pascua con nuestras familias y las familias parroquiales, pedimos al Señor Resucitado una verdadera
Resurrección de nuestra fe de que el dramático crecimiento misionero de la Iglesia Católica en la Diócesis de Rockville
Centre puede y va a suceder.
El valiente Cardenal Van Thuan, quien testimonió poderosamente su fe católica mientras estuvo encarcelado durante
años en una prisión de Vietnam, describió la lógica de la resurrección de Cristo en nuestras vidas de esta manera: “Jesús
echó fuego sobre la tierra y desea que la tierra arda con su brillante luz. Tu debes ser la llama brillante encendida por el
celo apostólico; de tu luz brillante otras antorchas podrán encenderse hasta que el mundo entero sea un inmenso mar de
llamas vivas”.
Juntos, cada uno seamos instrumentos del Señor Resucitado que comienza ese “vasto mar de llamas vivas” aquí en la
Iglesia de Rockville Centre, un vasto mar de llamas vivas que se extiende por toda la Iglesia en el Nordeste y por el
Mundo entero.
Consideremos a Katie, una estudiante del útimo año en una escuela secundaria pública de Oyster Bay. Recientemente fue
aceptada en la Universidad de Notre Dame en South Bend y probablemente se especializará en Finanzas. Notre Dame
conecta a los estudiantes entrantes a través de “Red Social” para que puedan interactuar y conocerse un poco antes de
haber puesto un pie en la Universidad. A través de una serie de conversaciones en línea, Katie elocuentemente dio
testimonio de manera natural, del inmenso poder que la Misa Católica hace fluir en todas dimensiones de su vida, y así
fue capaz de convencer de manera suave y eficaz a un recién llegado de Wyomig para volver a la Misa.
Cuando Katie me contó esta historia, me conmovió profundamente que esta jovencita íntegra y carismática hubiera
escuchado el llamado del Papa Francisco a ser discípulo misionero y diera un ejemplo para sus compañeros y para cada
generación de católicos de cómo alcanzart en fe y en el espíritu de la Divina Misericordia a los demás. Ella también esta
ba viviendo el poder de la resurreccion de Cristo al ser el instrument de la resurrección espiritual en la vida de un joven.
Me imagino a Katie y a su compañero de clase de Wyoming diciendo una oración y prendiendo una vela juntos– forman
do parte del “vasto mar de llamas vivas” en la mística Gruta de Notre Dame en el centro del campus en algún momento
de Agosto cuando ambos llegan al campus.
La historia de Katie y su compañero de clase de Notre Dame es un emocionante e inspirador desafio a que cada uno de
nosotros pida a la gente que regrese a casa, a su fe Católia e invitar a otros a considerar el Esplendor de la Verdad y la
Misericordia de nuestra fe Católica.
Esta Pascua, tú y yo redescubrimos el poder de la Resurrección de Cristo de una manera nueva y fresca. Un renovado
amor y confianza en el poder del Cristo Resucitado refresca y fortalece nuestros matrimonios, nuestras relaciones familia
res y toda amistad que experimentamos en el transcurso de nuestras vidas. Un redescubrimiento del poder de la resurrección de Cristo ayuda a nuestras familias a formar parte del “vasto mar de llamas vivas” que transforma el mundo y la
historia.
Esta Pascua del 2017 rezamos juntos para que la luz de la Divina Misericordia que brota de las heridas glorificadas del
Señor Resucitado toque las heridas de nuestras familias y las heridas de familias pobres, inmigrates y familias refugiadas,
separadas por largas distancias y trastornos, familias viviendo en medio de la guerra, la opresión y la persecusión, y
familias luchando con el abuso de drogas y la crisis de opioides.
Sepan que como su Pastor y Sucesor de los Apóstoles, es un honor el ser el siervo de cada una de sus familias, juntos
abrazando el llamado del Espíritu Santo al dramático crecimiento misionero en la Iglesia de Rockville Centre.
Sinceramente suyos en Cristo,
+ JOHN O. BARRES

The following process can be applied to any scriptural passage in private prayer and is even more enriching in a group.
El siguiente proceso puede ser aplicado a cualquier pasaje bíblico en la oración privada y es aun más enriquecedor en grupo.
I PRAYER: V ENCOUNTER PRAYER.
THE V ENCUENTRO PRAYER
God of Mercy
You who went out to encounter
The disciples on the way to Emmaus,
Grant us a missionary spirit
And send us forth to encounter
Our brothers and sisters,
To walk along beside them,
Listen to their hopes and dreams,
Rekindle their faith
With the fire of your Word.
Prepare them to recognize you in the Eucharist
And send them as missionary disciples
To share the joy of the Gospel to present
and future generations
Of every race, language and culture.
I ORAR: ORACION V ENCUENTRO
ORACION DEL V ENCUENTRO
Dios misericordioso,
Tú que saliste al encuentro
de los discípulos de Emaús,
concédenos un espíritu misionero
para salir al encuentro
de nuestros hermanos y hermanas,
Unirnos a su caminar cotidiano,
Escuchar sus tristezas y alegrías,
Encender sus corazones con el fuego de tu Palabra,
Prepararlos a reconocerte en la Eucaristía
y enviarlos como discípulos misioneros
a compartir la alegría del Evangelio
a generaciones presentes y futuras
de toda raza, lengua y cultura.
We ask you this
From our burning hearts
Filled with the Holy Spirit,
In the Name of your beloved Son
And through the intercession of our Mother,
Mary of Guadalupe
Star of the New Evangelization,
Te lo pedimos
desde nuestros corazones ardientes
en el Espíritu Santo,
en nombre de tu Hijo amado
y por la intercesión de nuestra Madre
María de Guadalupe,
Estrella de la Nueva Evangelización,
Amen
