EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD 1) Acts 10: 34a, 37-43 2) Colossians 3:1-4 or 1 Corinthians 5: 6b-8 3) John 20: 1-9 or Mark 16: 1-7 (Lec. 41)

FOCUS: Our faith is in the Resurrection of Jesus. The three readings for today proclaim that Jesus rose from the dead. This event has consequences for all, for it is an historical event, a fulfillment of prophecy and an invitation for new life. In the end, our faith is an encounter with Jesus who rose from the dead. And that encounter heals us from our sins.

LITURGY OF THE WORD The first reading is from the Acts of the Apostles, where we hear Saint Peter preaching about the Resurrection as the source of eternal life. In the second reading, Paul addresses the Colossians and reminds them that, because of Christ’s Resurrection, their faithfulness to Jesus and living according to his teaching will result in eternal life with him. In the Gospel, Saint John recounts the events of Easter Sunday - the finding of the empty tomb.

EASTER SUNDAY Today as we celebrate the feast of Easter we find the challenge of also seeing and believing the resurrection that comes through our own lives of self-sacrifice which brings new life to others. Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will show the love of the Risen Christ by bringing your love to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

DOMINGO DE PASCUAS “‘LA RESURRECCIÓN DEL SEÑOR”’ 1. ¿Por qué tenía que resucitar? 1.1 Pedro asegura la verdad del Cuerpo del Resucitado. ¿Por qué es tan importante? ¿No basta acaso, como quieren aquellos teólogos liberales, con afirmar que Cristo fue sincero, bueno, coherente y que nos ha mostrado un camino de solidaridad y servicio hasta el extremo? ¿Qué le agrega la resurrección corporal de Cristo a todo su mensaje, que de por sí es fuerte, bello y capaz de reconstruir a los seres humanos y a la sociedad? 1.2 Nadie discute que predicar de un modo consecuente la bondad entre los seres humanos es una cosa buena. Es algo que de hecho ha practicado mucha gente de muy diversos tiempos, culturas y... religiones. Tampoco hay que discutir si Cristo hizo eso. El punto es si la misión de Cristo se reduce a eso y si eso sólo explica el modo de su muerte. No olvidemos que el Señor tuvo muchas oportunidades de escabullirse de la espantosa muerte que veía venir. 1.3 Si la vida humana la consideramos únicamente en términos de la realidad que alcanzan a ver nuestros ojos, es decir, en términos de lo "intramundano", nada necesitamos más allá de una buena y sensata predicación que nos ayude a no ser perversos y a tratar de ser solidarios. Para eso no se necesitaba un nacimiento virginal, ni milagros, ni exorcismos, ni mucho menos los padecimientos atroces de la Cruz. Confucio, Buda o Mahoma hablaron con elocuencia sobre aprender a ser buenos, pacientes, mansos, puros... y hay incluso ateos que nos han dado discursos bien hilados sobre estas materias. Sartre decía que el existencialismo (ateo) era un modo supremo de humanismo. 1.4 Las cosas cambian cuando descubrimos que la vida sobre esta tierra no es todo; cuando entendemos que la maldad no es un problema solamente de disfuncionalidad social que puede repararse agrupando buenas intenciones. La maldad ejerce poder y tiene encanto, y para muchas personas, incluidos nosotros, en muchas situaciones ha resultado que ser malo es deseable, provechoso e incluso deleitable. Todo el Antiguo Testamento es la historia de cómo el bien sensato, condensado en los Diez Mandamientos, finalmente no logra abrirse paso porque el corazón humano es incomprensible en sus arranques de codicia, envidia, soberbia, estupidez o capacidad de crueldad. El misterio de ese mal que es absurdo y sin embargo poderoso, que nos hace daño y sin embargo nos reporta beneficios, nos obliga a bucear en nuestras almas y no contentarnos con una nación ingenua del mal, como si hacer el mal fuera siempre un asunto de ignorancia del bien.

Padre Romulo Gomez

5 Avril 2015 Dimanche de Pâques Pâque juive et Pâques chrétiennes : La Pâque juive célèbre un événement central dans l’histoire et la foi d’Israël : l’Exode c’est-a-dire, la sortie d’Egypte ou les Hébreux étaient esclaves de Pharaon. Fête centrale du rituel juif, la Pâque commémore le passage de la captivité à la liberté et la délivrance donnée par Dieu. Pour les juifs, la fête de Pâque ne rappelle pas seulement un souvenir, elle dit qu’aujourd’hui encore Dieu est le libérateur. ‘ A chaque génération, chacun doit se considérer comme si lui-même était sorti d’Egypte, car il est écrit : Tu diras a ton fils : c’est a cause de ce que Dieu a fait pour moi, quand je sortis d’Egypte’ dit la tradition rabbinique dans la Mishna. Libération du mal et de la mort Le repas pascal se prend en famille, au début du printemps, quand la nature ‘ressuscite’ après le sommeil hivernal. Au cours de ce repas, on immole l’agneau dont le sang marque les portes des maisons des israélites pour les protéger de la mort. La pâque juive unit un rituel pastoral (l’agneau) et un rituel agricole (le pain). Les chrétiens ont reconnu dans la mort et la résurrection de Jésus l’accomplissement de ce que préfigurait la sortie d’Egypte : la libération du mal et de la mort, l’appel a la liberté et l’entrée dans la vie voulue et donnée par Dieu.
