Happy Easter! And I think that for most of us, it really can be a Happy Easter if we just have faith and hope in the Risen Christ. Yes, there is a lot of pain and evil in the world that cast a shadow of darkness over some parts of our lives: the war in Ukraine, the COVID BA.2 subvariant and other illnesses, the recent subway shooting in New York City as well as violence closer to home, inflation and other financial difficulties, etc., etc.

But let us ponder what Jesus experienced that first Easter morning, in that moment when he had already risen from the dead but not yet emerged from the tomb. I can imagine Jesus standing near the exit of the tomb, his burial cloths already folded and laid aside, and the stone that had covered the exit of the tomb already rolled away. I can imagine Jesus standing just inside the tomb looking out, getting ready to emerge into the world as the Risen Christ. It was probably still night at that point, possible early dawn, so still quite dark except for the stars and possibly the moon. Roman soldiers would not have been too far away, lurking in the darkness and always providing a presence of evil and oppression.

But Jesus would have seen through the darkness and evil in the world at that point. He would have known that by his passion, death and Resurrection, he was bringing eternal light and hope into the world. He would have known that his light and his message of love, joy and peace were about to pierce the darkness and evil of this world and put Satan and his minions on an irreversible course toward defeat. It would not happen all at once – our mission of bringing the light of the Risen Christ to dispel the darkness of this world is still a work in progress even two thousand years after that first Easter morning. But Jesus knew that with his Resurrection, that work had indeed begun and would continue until the end of time with and through all of us who believe in him.

So let us not let any pain, evil or other darkness that we are currently experiencing in our lives keep us from having a Happy Easter. No, it will not be a perfect Easter – again, bringing the light of Christ into our world is still a work in progress and obviously some ways from being completed. But with the Risen Christ leading us, we can be very happy – indeed, we should be very happy – in the hope of a better and better world, brought about through Christ’s grace working in and through each and every one of us who proclaims him as our Savior and Risen King. Alleluia!

¡Felices Pascuas! Y creo que para la mayoría de nosotros, realmente puede ser una Feliz Pascua si tenemos fe y esperanza en Cristo Resucitado. Sí, hay mucho dolor y maldad en el mundo que proyecta una sombra de oscuridad sobre algunas partes de nuestras vidas: la guerra en Ucrania, la subvariante de COVID BA.2 y otras enfermedades, el reciente tiroteo en el metro de la ciudad de Nueva York así como la violencia a nivel local, la inflación y otras dificultades financieras, etc., etc.

Pero reflexionemos sobre lo que experimentó Jesús aquella primera mañana de Pascua, en ese momento en que ya había resucitado de entre los muertos pero aún no había salido del sepulcro. Puedo imaginar a Jesús parado cerca de la salida de la tumba, sus vendas ya dobladas y puestas a un lado, y la piedra que había cubierto la salida de la tumba ya removida. Puedo imaginar a Jesús parado justo dentro de la tumba mirando hacia afuera, preparándose para emerger al mundo como el Cristo Resucitado. Probablemente todavía era de noche en ese punto, posiblemente el amanecer temprano, por lo que todavía estaba bastante oscuro, excepto por las estrellas y posiblemente la luna. Los soldados romanos no habrían estado demasiado lejos, acechando en la oscuridad y proporcionando siempre una presencia de maldad y opresión.

Pero Jesús habría visto a través de la oscuridad y el mal en el mundo en ese momento. Habría sabido que por su pasión, muerte y Resurrección, estaba trayendo al mundo la luz y la esperanza eternas. Habría sabido que su luz y su mensaje de amor, alegría y paz estaban a punto de traspasar la oscuridad y la maldad de este mundo y poner a Satanás y sus secuaces en un curso irreversible hacia la derrota. No sucedería todo de una vez – nuestra misión de traer la luz de Cristo Resucitado para disipar la oscuridad de este mundo sigue siendo un trabajo en progreso, incluso dos mil años después de esa primera mañana de Pascua. Pero Jesús sabía que con su Resurrección, esa obra había comenzado y continuaría hasta el final de los tiempos con y a través de todos los que creemos en él.

Así que no permitamos que ningún dolor, maldad u otra oscuridad que estemos experimentando actualmente en nuestras vidas nos impida tener una Feliz Pascua. No, no será una Pascua perfecta – una vez más, traer la luz de Cristo a nuestro mundo es todavía un trabajo en progreso y, obviamente, todavía falta para que se complete. Pero con Cristo Resucitado guiándonos, podemos ser muy felices – más aún, debemos ser muy felices – en la esperanza de un mundo cada vez mejor, realizado por la gracia de Cristo obrando en y a través de todos y cada uno de nosotros que lo anunciamos como nuestro Salvador y Rey Resucitado. ¡Aleluya!

In a few weeks our parish will initiate Witness to Love. You may be asking, what is Witness to Love? According to their website: “It is a virtue based, catechumenate model of marriage renewal and formation. The Witness to Love model helps couples facilitate an authentic dialogue about their relationships with God and provides an attraction to the Church through the gift of mentoring. It helps mentor couples guide and encourage engaged couples to integrate and connect them with their parish, while reaping fruits of renewal and growth within their own marriage.”

What does this mean for our parish? Our current marriage preparation process will be replaced by this ‘mentoring’ ministry that will assist our engaged couples as well as our mentoring couples to grow in their relationship and their involvement in parish life.

Stay tuned for more information about this marriage preparation ministry.

God bless,

Deacon Chuck & Yolande Doidge

WHAT'S GOING ON IN OUR COMMUNITY

QUE ESTA PASANDO EN NUESTRA COMUNIDAD

A THANK YOU from the La Habra Life Center:

Our pastor, Fr. Ed, and our parochial vicars, Fr. Jake and Fr. Leonel have always inspired us with their sermons on the importance of family and life through Christ, and on this day, they led an amazing group of pro-lifers and served as examples of words turning into action. Thank you to Fr. Ed, Fr. Jake, and Fr. Leonel for the never-ending support.

To those who helped us with the various aspects of this event, we want to thank you as well. You are the backbone of what we do. Of course, everything would have been in vain, if you, from near or far hadn't come to show your support either in prayer, donations, or by witnessing the importance of LIFE, especially for the unborn.

Congratulations to all the raffle winners and thanks to our sponsors from Trader Joe's; Señor Campos; El Cholo; Lucy Gallegos, Mary Kay Consultant; Kathy Garcia; Debbie Garcia; and Mecki Grothues who donated the items for our contest. Let's not forget Chick-Fil-A for supplying us with gift cards for our participants.

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $2,800. This is almost a month's lease!
