Easter 2022
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Christ is risen! He is truly risen! Alleluia! The Easter message of joy echoes through the whole world proclaiming Christ’s ultimate
victory of light over darkness, grace over sin, and life over death. It is the message upon which we build our lives and to which we
anchor our own hope of victory with him.
At last, we have completed our 40 Lenten days of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. For myself, this Lent was a very personal retreat in
the wilderness, filled with reflection, prayer, suffering and ever-present God’s grace. We all also spent time in Lent examining the
complexity and dark rooms of our conscience to see where we are missing the mark of excellence, that we humbly know deep inside
is our calling.
Lent has also been a time to recognize that the struggles of life remind us we are still on the other side of Paradise with stresses of
exams, complexities of relationships, difficulties of forgiveness, worries of health and employment, pains of medical procedures and
loss of loved ones, challenges of extreme climate, craziness of politics, unrest and violence in the world, particularly in Ukraine.
And so today is a glorious day to celebrate our triumph with Christ. By ourselves, we humbly know we cannot achieve the
excellence and escape darkness, but with Christ, we know we are to be winners of the race to salvation. We can break through the
doors to Paradise. So, we can truly rejoice and be glad for the Lord has made this triumphant holy day for us.
Our Lord endured the chaos of his passion and death, but God once again brings order out of chaos by raising Jesus from the dead.
Easter is when we celebrate new baptisms and renew our own baptism that grafted us onto Christ, so we can join Christ in his
glorious resurrection, bringing order out of the chaos of our lives.
In a sense, today is like being on the Mount of Transfiguration, recognizing Jesus as truly exalted Lord and not just a suffering
servant. Like Peter, we too want to stay here, build some tents and rejoice. After all, who wants to descend down the mountain of
Easter to face stresses of final exams, challenges of health, brokenness of relationships, or fear of the future.
However, descend we must because Monday comes. And even though the Church keeps Easter going for an octave (eight days),
society thrusts us back into our trials and chains. But the beauty of our 40 days of Lent leading to Easter is - we once again are
reminded we are an Easter people, not for one day, but for eternity. To ingrain this idea, our Church has us celebrate and exercise the
Easter Season for 50 days. So, if you stayed away from the Eucharist and our worshiping faith community during the pandemic, with
the Sunday Mass dispensation now lifted, please reunite with St. Pius X Parish Family to remind yourself of new life and your
internal beauty in the eyes of God.
Now is the time to be dormant no more, but to burst open with beauty and the aroma of life. We descend the mountain of Easter, but
this time with confidence that this dark valley of tears, this blighted desert of crosses is but an illusion, a mirage compared to the
reality that we belong to Christ and that we carry the light of Christ with us always. Let us, therefore, be Easter for the world. Let us
be Easter people.
I take this opportunity to thank all who have sent cards, notes and emails to me during these days of my somewhat bumpy recovery.
Your support and prayers mean more to me than you will ever know. I miss you! I miss celebrating the Eucharist with you! I miss
praying with you, laughing with you, and just being with you. Even though I am not out of the woods yet, cancer doesn’t have the
last word. God always has the last word. Just look at the Easter event!
On Good Friday the world of darkness had thrown everything it had on the Anointed One and buried Him in a tomb – thinking it had
the final word. But the final word belonged to God. On Easter Sunday God overturned the world’s verdict, as our Savior Jesus Christ
rose from that tomb and conquered the darkness of the world forever. During this solemn Easter season of 50 days, we joyfully give
thanks to God for the many blessings bestowed on us as individuals and as a faith community. Because Jesus has died and risen
again, conquering sin and death, we believe that with him we too shall live. In this spirit of faith and hope, I prayerfully wish you and
your families a most holy and blessed Easter Season! Happy Easter!
Sincerely yours in the Risen Christ,
Fr. George Zięba, CR

Pascua 2022
Estimados hermanos y hermanas,
¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Ha resucitado verdaderamente! ¡Aleluya! El mensaje de Pascua de hoy resuena en todo el mundo
proclamando la victoria final de Cristo de la luz sobre las tinieblas, la fraternidad sobre el pecado y la vida sobre la muerte. Es el
mensaje sobre el que construimos nuestra vida y en el que anclamos nuestra propia esperanza de victoria con él.
Por fin, hemos completado nuestros 40 días de oración, ayuno y limosna de Cuaresma. Para mí, esta Cuaresma fue un retiro muy
personal en el desierto, lleno de reflexión, oración, sufrimiento y la gracia siempre presente de Dios. Todos también pasamos tiempo
en Cuaresma examinando la complejidad y los cuartos oscuros de nuestra conciencia para ver dónde nos estamos perdiendo la marca
de la excelencia, que humildemente sabemos en lo profundo de nuestro llamado.
La Cuaresma también ha sido un tiempo para reconocer que las luchas de la vida nos recuerdan que todavía estamos del otro lado del
Paraíso con el estrés de los exámenes, las complejidades de las relaciones, las dificultades para perdonar, las preocupaciones sobre la
salud y el empleo, los dolores de los procedimientos médicos y la pérdida de seres queridos. los desafíos del clima extremo, la locura
de la política, los disturbios y la violencia en el mundo, particularmente en Ucrania.
Y así hoy es un día glorioso para celebrar nuestro triunfo con Cristo. Por nosotros mismos, humildemente sabemos que no podemos
alcanzar la excelencia y escapar de la oscuridad, pero con Cristo, sabemos que debemos ser ganadores de la carrera hacia la
salvación. Podemos atravesar las puertas del Paraíso. Entonces, podemos verdaderamente regocijarnos y alegrarnos porque el Señor
ha hecho este día santo y triunfal para nosotros.
Nuestro Señor soportó el caos de su pasión y muerte, pero Dios una vez más trae orden del caos al resucitar a Jesús de entre los
muertos. La Pascua es cuando celebramos los nuevos bautismos y renovamos el bautismo propio que nos entregó a Cristo, para que
podamos unirnos a Cristo en su gloriosa resurrección, poniendo orden en el caos de nuestras vidas.
En cierto sentido, hoy es como estar en el Monte de la Transfiguración, reconociendo a Jesús como Señor verdaderamente exaltado y
no solo como un siervo sufriente. Como Pedro, nosotros también queremos quedarnos aquí, construir algunas tiendas de campaña y
regocijarnos. Después de todo, quién quiere descender de la montaña de Pascua para enfrentar el estrés de los exámenes finales, los
desafíos de la salud, la ruptura de las relaciones, el miedo al futuro.
Sin embargo, hay que descender porque llega el lunes. Y aunque la Iglesia mantiene la Pascua durante una octava (ocho días), la
sociedad nos empuja de nuevo a nuestras pruebas y cadenas. Pero la belleza de nuestros 40 días de Cuaresma que conducen a la
Pascua es que una vez más se nos recuerda que somos un pueblo de Pascua, no por un día, sino por la eternidad. Para arraigar esta
idea, nuestra Iglesia nos pide que celebremos y ejercitemos el Tiempo Pascual durante 50 días. Entonces, si se mantuvo alejado de la
Eucaristía y de nuestra comunidad durante la pandemia, sin que se suspendiera la dispensación de la misa dominical, por favor
reúnase con la familia parroquial de San Pío X para recordar la nueva vida y su belleza interna a los ojos de Dios.
Ahora es el momento de no estar más dormido, sino de estallar con la belleza y el aroma de la vida. Descendemos la montaña de
Pascua, pero esta vez con la confianza de que este valle oscuro de lágrimas, este desierto marchito de cruces no es más que una
ilusión, un espejismo comparado con la realidad de que pertenecemos a Cristo y que llevamos la luz de Cristo con nosotros. siempre.
Seamos, pues, Pascua para el mundo. Seamos gente de Pascua.
Aprovecho esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos los que me han enviado tarjetas, notas y correos electrónicos durante estos días
de mi recuperación algo accidentada. Su apoyo y oraciones significan más para mí de lo que nunca sabrán. ¡Te extraño! ¡Extraño
celebrar la Eucaristía contigo! Extraño orar contigo, reír contigo y simplemente estar contigo. Aunque todavía no estoy fuera de
peligro, el cáncer no tiene la última palabra. Dios siempre tiene la última palabra. ¡Solo mira el evento de Pascua!
El Viernes Santo, el mundo de las tinieblas arrojó todo lo que tenía sobre el Ungido y lo enterró en una tumba, pensando que tenía la
última palabra. Pero la palabra final pertenecía a Dios. Domingo de Pascua Dios anuló el veredicto del mundo, cuando nuestro
Salvador Jesucristo se levantó de esa tumba y conquistó la oscuridad del mundo para siempre. Durante esta solemne temporada de
Pascua de 50 días, con alegría damos gracias a Dios por las muchas bendiciones otorgadas a nosotros como individuos y como
comunidad de fe. Porque Jesús murió y resucitó, venciendo el pecado y la muerte, creemos que con él también viviremos. ¡En este
espíritu de fe y esperanza, en oración les deseo a ustedes y a sus familias una temporada de Pascua muy santa y bendecida! ¡Felices
Pascuas!
Atentamente suyo en Cristo Resucitado,
P. George Zieba, CR

Invite a sus familiares y amigos para participar de la Santa
Misa.
Meditación del Papa Francisco
El encuentro con Dios en la oración, mediante la lectura de la
Biblia y en la vida fraterna les ayudará a conocer mejor al Señor
y a ustedes mismos. Como les sucedió a los discípulos de Emaús,
la voz de Jesús hará arder su corazón y les abrirá los ojos para
reconocer su presencia en la historia personal de cada uno de
ustedes, descubriendo así el proyecto de amor que tiene para sus
vidas.
Algunos de ustedes sienten o sentirán la llamada del Señor al
matrimonio, a formar una familia. Hoy muchos piensan que esta
vocación está "pasada de moda", pero no es verdad. Precisamente
por eso, toda la Comunidad eclesial está viviendo un período
especial de reflexión sobre la vocación y la misión de la familia
en la Iglesia y en el mundo contemporáneo. Además, les invito a
considerar la llamada a la vida consagrada y al sacerdocio. Qué
maravilla ver jóvenes que abrazan la vocación de entregarse
plenamente a Cristo y al servicio de su Iglesia. Háganse la
pregunta con corazón limpio y no tengan miedo a lo que Dios les
pida. A partir de su "sí" a la llamada del Señor se convertirán en
nuevas semillas de esperanza en la Iglesia y en la sociedad. No lo
olviden: La voluntad de Dios es nuestra felicidad. (S.S.
Francisco, Mensaje para la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud
2015).
Reflexión
En el evangelio de ayer María Magdalena va a buscar al Señor y
Cristo le sale al encuentro. En cambio en este evangelio nos
encontramos con los típicos seguidores de los días de gloria que
huyen el día del castigo.
Adoración al Santísimo
Cierto que los discípulos de Emaús tienen el mérito de no haber

VOCATION PRAYER CALENDAR
God our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the
Body of Christ. We ask that you inspire young people whom
you call to priesthood and consecrated life to courageously
follow your will. Send workers into your great harvest so that
the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the
suffering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by
the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
