The Resurrection of the Lord April 24, 2011

A Eucharistic Community Living The Good News Daily

Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Parish San Clemente, California

E aster is a big deal—a very big deal. Every one of the

four Gospels provides an account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which makes perfect sense because the bodily resurrection of Jesus has always been the foundation of the Christian faith from the very beginning. It is an ancient tradition, based on the evidence of scripture and on the writings of the early church, that Jesus celebrated the Last Supper on a Thursday, died on a Friday, and rose from the dead on a Sunday. Thus, today’s Gospel tells us that Jesus rose from the dead on “the first day of the week” (John 20:1). Within about a hundred years of Jesus’ resurrection Christians were celebrating the great Easter Vigil, beginning after dark on Holy Saturday and continuing until dawn on Easter morning. During this vigil, Christians heard salvation history through scripture readings, celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, and looked forward to his return. At the vigil men and women who had gone through three years of instruction were baptized and received First Communion. Without his death and rising to new life Jesus would have been merely another Jewish teacher and failed messiah. His teachings would be just a code of ethics and our worship in vain. We celebrate the Resurrection for fifty days, and for the rest of the year every Sunday is a kind of “mini-Easter.” Easter is the culmination of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection that we celebrate “with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Corinthians 5:8).

April 24, 2011 Easter Sunday: The Resurrection of the Lord 3

From our Pastor, Fr. Jack Sewell

T here are many celebrations in our lives—births, weddings, anniversaries, and graduations among them. Each of them has their own rituals, from in-fant gifts to first dance at a wedding to anniversary gem momentos to moving the graduation tassel

from one side to the other. These rituals help us to connect with family customs as well as tie in with our culture and society. They become a link to those who have supported us and prayed for us in so many ways throughout our lives. Easter is the celebration of our redemption—Christ is Risen! This feast is marked by numerous ritu-als that remind us of the salvation that comes to us through the dying and rising of Jesus. Last evening at the Easter Vigil we welcomed five new members into our Catholic community of faith. We blessed the Easter Candle—the Light of Christ that will be a part of our liturgies throughout the Easter Season, and then for all of our baptisms and funer-als. This weekend we renew our baptismal promises and are sprinkled with holy water, reminding us of our own dying and rising to new life in Christ. We are joined together in our profession of faith. We are united with all those who have gone before us and with those who will succeed us. All are one in Christ Jesus. These outward rituals and symbols tell us of the true mystery that we experience at Easter. We are reborn as children of our Father, and as brothers and sisters to Christ. The true celebration of Easter is reflected in our lives. Living in the sincerity and truth of Christ, and fulfilling the Father’s will for us as Christ did, brings us closer to the perfect love of Christ. As we enter into this holy season of rejoicing and gladness, may we proclaim the eternal mystery of our faith—Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again!

“Let us celebrate the feast with the

unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” (1 Corinthians 5:8)

Sun Shines—Construction Moves Forward! The sometimes exhausting work of remediating the soil and placing utility lines in the front of our property continues with the good weather. The new gas and fire lines have been installed and approved. The accompany-ing pictures show the progress being made above ground. The mock wall located at the bottom of the Presidio drive is a miniature section of the hall. It is built to verify the construction and appearance of the final pro-ject. Twenty-three steel beams form the foundation of the retaining wall which will support the weight of the hall on the canyon side of the prop-erty. The new service driveway has been graded and it will allow conven-ient access for deliveries and pickup behind the hall. The two framing walls in the middle of our hall footprint will form the interior pillars that will hold the collapsible room dividers. These dividers will allow the most flexible use of our new space. Let us continue to pray for the safety of all who are working on our project, and for our ongoing support in prayer and in accommodation as our vision comes to life! “May the gracious care of the Lord our God be ours, and prosper the work of our hands for us.” (Psalm 90:17)

OLF School welcomes new Principal I am very pleased to announce that Beate Nguyen has accepted our invitation to be the principal of OLF Parish School! Beate visited our school during the interview process and had the opportunity to meet with Julie Tipton and a number of our faculty and staff. Beate was deeply impressed with the spirit and energy of our school community. The search committee and I were deeply impressed with Beate’s commitment to Catholic education and values. She comes to us with a worldwide experience: Beate was born in Germany, raised in Belgium, and has 16 years of global profes-sional educational experience. She was Vice Principal of a Catholic elementary school in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, and currently is Principal for the American International School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She received her Master’s Degree in Elementary Education with technology

24 de Abril del 2011 Domingo de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor 3

De nuestro Párroco, Padre Jack Sewell

H ay muchas celebraciones en nuestras vidas; nacimientos, bodas, aniversarios y graduaciones en-tre otras. Cada una de ellas tiene sus propios ritos, desde los regalos infantiles al primer baile en una boda, a los momentos de aniversario y hasta mover el recuerdo de graduación de un lado al otro. Estos

rituales nos ayudan a conectarnos con costumbres familiares así como for-marnos con nuestra cultura y sociedad. Esto se convertirá en un vínculo con los que nos apoyaron y oraran por nosotros en muchos sentidos a lo largo de nuestras vidas.

La Pascua es la celebración de nuestra

redención, ¡Cristo ha resucitado! Esta fiesta está marca-da por numerosos rituales que nos recuerdan la salva-ción que llega a nosotros a través de la muerte y la resu-rrección de Jesús. En la noche de la Vigilia Pascual di-mos la bienvenida a cinco nuevos miembros a nuestra comunidad de fe católica. Bendecimos el cirio pascual: la luz de Cristo que formará parte de las liturgias durante toda la temporada de semana Santa y después para todos los bautizos y funerales. Este fin de semana renovaremos nuestras promesas bautismales y seremos rociados con agua bendita, lo cual nos recuerda nuestra muerte y resurrección a la nueva vida en Cristo. Nos uniremos en la profesión de la fe, nos uniremos a todos los que se han ido antes y con aquellos que nos sucederán. Todos somos uno en Cristo

Estos rituales externos y símbolos nos hablan del verdadero miste-

rio que experimentamos en Semana Santa. Hemos vuelto a nacer como ni-ños de nuestro Padre y como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. La verdadera celebración de Semana Santa se refleja en nuestras vidas. Una vida de since-ridad y verdad en Cristo cumpliendo la voluntad del Padre como él lo hizo, esto nos acercará más al perfecto amor de Cristo. Cuando entramos en esta temporada Santa de regocijo y alegría, podemos proclamar el eterno miste-rio de nuestra fe, ¡Cristo ha muerto, Cristo ha resucitado, Cristo vendrá otra vez!

“Celebremos la fiesta con el pan de la sinceridad

y la verdad” (I Cor 5,8)

¡El Sol Brilla-La Construcción sigue adelante! El trabajo a veces agotador de remediar la tierra y colocar las líneas de servicio en el frente de nuestra propie-dad continúa con el buen clima. Las nuevas líneas del gas y de fuego han sido instaladas y aprobadas. Las fo-tos que acompañan (se encuentran en la pagina 4) muestran los progresos realizados sobre la tierra. La pared falsa situada en la parte inferior de la entrada de Presidio es una sección miniatura del salón parroquial. Se construye para verificar la construcción y el aspecto del proyecto final. veintitrés vigas de acero son la base de la pared de contención que soportara el peso del salón parroquial en el lado del cañón de la propiedad. El ca-mino nuevo de servicio ha sido anivelado y permitirá un acceso conveniente para las entregas y recogida detrás del salón parroquial. Las dos paredes que enmarcan en el centro de nuestro salón parroquial formarán los pilares interiores que mantendrán los divisores plegables. Estos divisores permitirán el uso más flexible de nuestro nuevo espacio. ¡Sigamos orando por la seguridad de todos los que están trabajando en nuestro proyecto y por nuestro apoyo constante en la oración y en la comodidad mientras nuestra visión se convierte en vida! "Que la bondad del Señor, nuestro Dios sea nuestro, y prospere la obra de nuestras manos." (Salmo 90:17)

La Resurrección del Señor 24 de Abril del 2011

Una Comunidad Eucaristía Viviendo La Buena Noticia Diariamente

Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Fátima San Clemente, California

L a Pascua es algo grande—algo muy grande. Los cuatro

Evangelios nos ofrecen un relato de la resurrección de Jesucristo, lo cual tiene mucho sentido, pues la resurrección de Jesús ha sido siempre el fundamento de la fe cristiana desde sus comienzos. La tradición antigua basada en las Escrituras y en los escritos de la Iglesia primitiva dice que Jesús celebró la Última Cena un jueves, murió un viernes y resucitó un domingo. Por tanto, el Evangelio de hoy nos dice que Jesús resucitó “el primer día después del sábado” (Juan 20:1). Antes de que se cumplieran cien años de la resurrección de Jesús los cristianos celebraban ya la gran Vigilia Pascual que comenzaba en la noche del Sábado Santo y continuaba hasta el alba del día siguiente. Durante esta vigilia los cristianos escuchaban la historia de la salvación en la lectura de las Escrituras, celebraban la resurrección de Jesús y esperaban su regreso. Los hombres y las mujeres que habían pasado por tres años de instrucción recibían el Bautismo y la Primera Comunión durante esta vigilia. Sin su muerte y resurrección Jesús hubiese sido un rabino más y un mesías fracasado. Sus enseñanzas hubieran sido sólo un código ético y nuestro culto sería en vano. La Resurrección se celebra durante cincuenta días, lo cual se conoce como la Cincuentena Pascual, y cada domingo del año conmemoramos el misterio pascual. La Pascua es la culminación de la vida, muerte y resurrección de Cristo que celebramos “con el pan sin levadura, que es de sinceridad y verdad” (1 Corintios 5:8).
