EASTER SUNDAY ~ April 5, 2015

MADISON’S DOWNTOWN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ABOUT OUR PARISH

The Cathedral Parish of St. Raphael was formed on July 1, 2008 by the merger of three historic parishes located within a few blocks of the Capitol Square.

SAINT PATRICK 404 E. Main St.

The buildings of two of those historic parishes – Holy Redeemer and St. Patrick – provide the current facilities for the Cathedral Parish. Mass is offered every day in both churches. The parish rectory is at the Holy Redeemer site, while the offices are at the St. Patrick location.

HOLY

REDEEMER 120 W. Johnson St.

Old St. Raphael Cathedral was destroyed by arson in 2005. Bishop Morlino has announced his intention to erect a new cathedral on the same site (at West Main and Fairchild). In the meantime, an outdoor Way of the Cross is located there.

 AT CATHEDRAL PARISH  Marriage Enrichment Series—REFOCCUS Begins Saturday, April 11th, 5:45 pm—8:00 pm At St. Patrick Church Hall Are you looking for a way to strengthen and build your marriage? Do you need to find time to connect with your spouse? Then come join us for ‘REFOCCUS’! We will gather with other couples for prayer, a reflection from a married couple, and time as a couple to ‘REFOCCUS’ your marriage through resources that will help you dialogue about important things such as communication, intimacy, and commitment! This five session series will continue one Saturday per month: May 9th June 13th July 25th August 9th It ‘s not necessary for couples to attend all sessions, but the more the better! The $15 per couple fee covers all five sessions. To register, please visit registration.madisondiocese.org/mm/ or for more information, please contact Marc Laudonio at 257-5000 or [email protected]

Encounter Culture: Invitation to Transformation Are you striving to be perfect? What is the real meaning of perfection? How do we get there? The journey to perfection is something that we are all called to participate in. The problem is, we usually follow our own way--our own idea of perfection. Our projects and problems become distractions on the path of transformation, and we get stuck. How can we let go of this and become open to transformation? Join us for Encounter Culture on Saturday, April 18th, at 6 pm in the St. Patrick church hall, where we will observe one man’s journey to perfection in the film On the Waterfront. You are invited for reflection, discussion, and good company! Have you been wanting to come to Encounter Culture, but unable to make it? No problem! Everything you need to catch up at home is online! Visit the Encounter Culture page on the parish website for materials, or contact Morgan at [email protected] for more info.

 PARA REFLEXIONAR  Cristo ha Resucitado Es un hecho incuestionable que la felicidad navideña esta mucho mas extendida que la felicitación de la Pascua de Resurrección. Todo el mundo se felicita en las Navidades, aunque muchos no sean capaces de dar razón de lo que esas palabras expresan. Por el contrario, son muy pocos los que se felicitan en la Pascua, aunque, posiblemente, lo hagan con mayor consciencia. La historia de la Salvación es una historia de Luz. Dios es la Luz, mientras que la impotencia y el sufrimiento humano se describe en la Biblia bajo la imagen de tinieblas, hasta el punto de que el camino hacia nuestra plena felicidad se simboliza en el paso de la noche al día, de la oscuridad a la luz. “Conduciré a los ciegos por un camino que no conocen, Por sendas que no conocen los guiare; Cambiare delante de ellos las tinieblas en Luz y lo escabroso en llanura” (Is 42,16). Antes de la victoria Pascual de Cristo, el hombre vivía condenado a la oscuridad del pecado y de la muerte, dos enemigos imbatibles que nos tapaban la Luz de Dios. El plan divino de redención del mundo asumió nuestra noche, para transformarla en luz. Cristo se hizo pecado (2 Cor. 5,21), y padeció bajo el poder de la muerte, para vencer al enemigo en su propio terreno. La Resurrección de Cristo transformó la noche en día; la gracia vence al pecado y la vida derrota a la muerte. Así lo proclamamos en el Pregón Pascual: Esta es la noche en que la columna de fuego esclareció las tinieblas del pecado…. Esta es la noche de la que estaba escrito: Será la noche clara como el día, la noche iluminada por mi gozo….”. La Noche de la Purificación: Pero todavía falta algo para culminar la Historia de la Salvación. Nos referimos a la necesidad de que cada uno de nosotros haga suyo ese tesoro que es la Gracia. No basta con el anuncio de que la Luz de Cristo vence a las tinieblas, sino que es necesario que ese acontecimiento tenga lugar en cada uno de nosotros, es decir, que lo personalicemos en nuestro interior. La reflexión que hoy hacemos sobre esta noche, nos llena de esperanza ante las situaciones de oscuridad o soledad, que podamos atravesar a lo largo de nuestra vida. ¡Cristo ha Resucitado! Y, en consecuencia, tenemos sobradas razones para la confianza y la alegría. ¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!.

Padre José Luis Vázquez
