GOOD NEWS ON THE PANDEMIC FRONT – This past week the state of California lifted all of its capacity limits on indoor worship. This is wonderful news, and it is a sign that things are heading in the right direction quickly with a much lower infection rate of Covid 19 in our state. In my visits to Huntington Memorial Hospital, I can tell you that the atmosphere is dramatically different. Back in January I remember visiting many Covid patients in the ICU. As I write this, there are NO Covid patients in the HMH ICU. This is simply wonderful! However, it would be prudent to remind everyone that we are not yet completely out of the pandemic. As a result, we are advised to still maintain proper social distance (3 feet now) between households in the church. Proper hygiene is obviously also important. The use of masks is still mandated for the time being. God willing, that will eventually disappear as well. I personally can't wait for that! Our confessionals will once again begin to be utilized. Last year during the pandemic, we took advantage of the closure to renovate our confessionals and install new ventilation systems. This has been a blessing because, as a result, we are now able to use them again. All four confessionals have been renovated and are now usable. Our school is now back to full session with all grades, and it is a great joy to see the children back in their classrooms and in the playground. In addition, we are now able to have our parish organizations meet in person once again. The same is true for adult education classes such as our marriage classes. These are once again back to full sessions. LET’S GO PAPERLESS! – Last year when the pandemic hit, it became very obvious that online tithing was vitally important. Electronic giving is a tremendous convenience for our parishioners as well as for the parish. Many parishes throughout the country and in our own Archdiocese have long ago switched to electronic giving in an effort to get rid of the old-fashioned checks and cash. We have been slowly making progress on this and quite a few of our parishioners now use it exclusively but there is still a way to go. In addition, we also have “Text to Give” which allows a person to simply use a cellphone to text a donation to the parish electronically. As I’m sure you know, a great many people these days no longer use paper checks or even paper money! It is all going electronic, so the Church has to keep up with technology as well. I strongly urge you to consider switching from the old-fashioned envelopes to online giving today. You can sign up on our website: www.standrewpasadena.org Thank you!
SPECIAL MASS NEXT SUNDAY – Next Sunday, April 25th, the 9:30 a.m. Mass will be celebrated by His Excellency, Bishop Timothy Freyer, who is the Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Orange. Bishop Freyer and I are both members of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem. I currently serve as the Commander of the Commandery of the West and he serves as the Senior Chaplain. The Commandery will be meeting at our parish on Sunday morning so you will see the Knights and Ladies of St. Lazarus processing in the procession. Please make them feel welcome. RESTORATION EFFORTS CONTINUE – This past week our restorer, Evan Wilson, began the efforts to restore the damaged artwork in our church narthex. This project was first started way back in 1998. I recall the extensive work done at that time as I had just arrived as Associate Pastor then. However, over the years, there have been some discoloration, chipping, and other damage done and now this is being restored. WELCOME TO ST. ANDREW! – It is once again my pleasure to welcome our new parishioners. During Lent and Easter, we received another large number of new parish registrations. We warmly welcome all of these new parishioners and especially the many young families who have now become members of our parish family. In Christ and St. Andrew, Father Gonzalez
FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR: Third Sunday of Easter Aprl 18, 2021 Jubilate Deo omnis terra, alleluia: psalmum dicite nomine eius, alleluia: date gloriam laudi eius, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. Dicite Deo, quam terriblia sunt opera tua, Domine! in multitudine virtutis tuæ mentientur tibi inimici tui. (Ps. 66:1-4) Shout joyfully to God, all the earth, alleluia; sing of his glorious name, alleluia; give him glorious praise, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Psalm verse: Say to God: “How awesome your deeds! Before your great strength your enemies cringe. The Gospel reading for this Sunday is something of an anomaly in this year of St. Mark, being taken from the Gospel according to St. Luke. It is doubly strange because the Gospels for Easter are generally taken from St. John’s Gospel. Today’s pericope picks up after the famous narrative of the Encounter at Emmaus, where two disciples, on the afternoon of the Resurrection, discussed what had happened. While they were doing so, Jesus himself came among them, though they did not recognize him. Many today see this encounter as following the Mass in the way we encounter Christ: we gather in the church for Mass and Jesus is present with us (“where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst,” Mt. 18:20) though we may not recognize him. In the Encounter at Emmaus, Jesus then broke open the scriptures to them, speaking his own word; we call this the Liturgy of the Word. In the Emmaus account the disciples invited Jesus to stay with them; in the Mass, this corresponds to the Canon, or Eucharistic Prayer, in which the consecration takes place—which was instituted at the Last Supper. In the Emmaus account, when Jesus took the bread, blessed it, and broke it, the disciples’ eyes were opened, but Jesus vanished from their sight. In the Mass, this called the Communion Rite, where the priest, acting in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) consecrates the Host; at this time, Jesus becomes present: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity: real-ly and truly present, and we who are faithful recognize him. The Precious Body is then taken by the priest-celebrant and is broken and distributed as Communion to the faithful. It was in this final correspondence that the disciples recognized their Lord in the breaking of the bread, as do we—Jesus’ own flesh and blood for the life of the world (Jn. 6:51), whose flesh is true food, and whose blood is true drink (Jn. 6:55). It is after this that today’s Gospel begins. The disciples, having recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread, return with fervor to the twelve to report what they had seen. While they are still speaking, Jesus appears in their midst. It is worth noting that in other Gospels, the episode of “Doubting Thomas” takes place when Jesus appears to the twelve; but, in light of St. Thomas’s confession of faith—“My Lord and my God!—it is better to call that episode “The Belief of Thomas.” An allusion to this detail is perhaps mentioned here when Jesus says, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” Clearly, St. Thomas was not the only one to nurse doubts! After this, Jesus proclaims his Resurrection and all that they are witnessing to be the fulfilment of scripture (as he had just done with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus), and the beginning of the Church. The disciples’ reaction to all this was a complete conversion—they soon went out to the ends of the earth to proclaim this Good News—the Gospel—to all nations. For us, in our weekly encounter with the Divine Presence in the Eucharist, how are we affected? How are we transfigured by the risen Lord? What will our response be—to go out and stay mute? Or will we go out and proclaim the Good News of the Resurrection by our lives?

BUENAS NOTICIAS EN EL FRENTE DE LA PANDEMIA – La semana pasada, el estado de California levantó todos sus límites de capacidad para la adoración en interiores. Esta es una noticia maravillosa y es una señal de que las cosas van de la manera correcta rápidamente con una tasa de infección de Covid 19 mucho más baja en nuestro estado. En mis visitas al Hospital de Huntington Memorial, puedo decirles que la atmósfera es dramáticamente diferente. En enero, recuerdo haber visitado a muchos pacientes de Covid en la ICU. Mientras escribo esto, NO hay pacientes de Covid en la ICU de HMH. ¡Esto es simplemente maravilloso! Sin embargo, sería prudente recordarles a todos que todavía no estamos completamente fuera de la pandemia. Como resultado, se nos aconseja que mantengamos la distancia social adecuada (ahora 3 pies) entre los hogares de la iglesia. Obviamente, una higiene adecuada también es importante. El uso de máscaras sigue siendo obligatorio por el momento. Si Dios quiere, eso eventualmente también desaparecerá. ¡Personalmente no puedo esperar por eso! Nuestros confesionarios volverán a empezar a utilizarse. El año pasado, durante la pandemia, aprovechamos el cierre para renovar nuestros confesionarios e instalar nuevos sistemas de ventilación. Esto ha sido una bendición porque, como resultado, ahora podemos usarlos nuevamente. Los cuatro confesionarios han sido renovados y ahora se pueden utilizar. Nuestra escuela ha vuelto a la sesión completa con todos los grados, y es un gran placer ver a los niños de regreso en sus aulas y en el patio de recreo. Además, ahora podemos hacer que nuestras organizaciones parroquiales se reúnan en persona una vez más. Lo mismo ocurre con las clases de educación para adultos, como nuestras clases de matrimonio. Una vez más, vuelven a las sesiones completas. ¡VAMOS SIN PAPEL! – El año pasado, cuando ocurrió la pandemia, se hizo muy obvio que el diezmo en línea era de vital importancia. Las donaciones electrónicas son una gran conveniencia para nuestros feligreses y también para la parroquia. Muchas parroquias en todo el país y en nuestra propia Arquidiócesis han cambiado hace mucho tiempo a las donaciones electrónicas en un esfuerzo por deshacerse de los cheques y el efectivo anticuados. Hemos estado progresando lentamente en esto y algunos de nuestros feligreses ahora lo usan exclusivamente, pero todavía hay un camino por recorrer. Además, también tenemos "Texto para dar", que le permite a una persona simplemente usar un teléfono celular para enviar un mensaje de texto con una donación a la parroquia electrónicamente. Como estoy seguro de que usted sabe, muchas personas en estos días ya no usan cheques o incluso billetes. Todo se está volviendo electrónico, por lo que la Iglesia también tiene que mantenerse al día con la tecnología. Le insto encarecidamente a que considere cambiar hoy mismo de los sobres antiguos a las donaciones en línea. Puede registrarse en nuestro sitio web: www.standrewpasadena.org ¡Gracias!
MISA ESPECIAL EL PRÓXIMO DOMINGO – El próximo domingo 25 de abril, la Misa de las 9:30 a.m. será celebrada por Su Excelencia, el Obispo Timothy Freyer, quien es el Obispo Auxiliar de la Diócesis de Orange. El Obispo Freyer y yo somos miembros de la Orden Militar y Hospitalaria de San Lázaro de Jerusalén. Actualmente me desempeño como el Comandante de la Comandancia de Occidente y él se desempeña como Capellán Principal. La Comandancia se reunirá en nuestra parroquia el domingo por la mañana, por lo que verán a los Caballeros y Damas de San Lázaro procesando en la procesión. Por favor, haganlos sentir bienvenidos. CONTINÚAN LOS ESFUERZOS DE RESTAURACIÓN – La semana pasada nuestro restaurador, Evan Wilson, comenzó los esfuerzos para restaurar las obras de arte dañadas en el nártex de nuestra iglesia. Este proyecto se inició por primera vez en 1998. Recuerdo el extenso trabajo realizado en ese momento, ya que yo acababa de llegar como Párroco Asociado. Sin embargo, a lo largo de los años, ha habido algo de decoloración, astillado y otros daños, y ahora se está restaurando. ¡BIENVENIDOS A SAN ANDRÉS! – Es un placer para mí una vez más dar la bienvenida a nuestros nuevos feligreses. Durante la Cuaresma y la Pascua, recibimos otra gran cantidad de nuevos registros parroquiales. Damos una calurosa bienvenida a todos estos nuevos feligreses y especialmente a las muchas familias jóvenes que ahora se han convertido en miembros de nuestra familia parroquial. En Cristo y San Andrés, Padre González
DEL DIRECTOR DE MUSICA: Tercer Domingo de Pascua 18 de abril de 2021 Jubilate Deo omnis terra, aleluya: salmum dicite nomine eius, aleluya: fecha gloriam laudi eius, aleluya, aleluya, aleluya. PD. Dicite Deo, quam terriblia sunt opera tua, Domine! en multitudinaria virtutis tuæ mentientur tibi inimici tui. (Sal.66: 1-4) Aclamad a Dios, toda la tierra, aleluya; canten de su glorioso nombre, aleluya; dadle alabanza gloriosa, aleluya, aleluya, aleluya. Versículo del salmo: Dile a Dios: “¡Cuán asombrosas son tus obras! Ante tu gran fuerza, tus enemigos se estremecen. La lectura del Evangelio para este domingo es una anomalía en este año de San Marcos, ya que está tomada del Evangelio según San Lucas. Es doblemente extraño porque los evangelios de Pascua generalmente se toman del evangelio de San Juan. La perícopa de hoy retoma la célebre narración del Encuentro de Emaús, donde dos discípulos, en la tarde de la Resurrección, comentaron lo sucedido. Mientras lo hacían, Jesús mismo se acercó a ellos, aunque no lo reconocieron. Muchos hoy ven este encuentro como una continuación de la Misa en la forma en que encontramos a Cristo: nos reunimos en la iglesia para la Misa y Jesús está presente con nosotros (“donde dos o tres están reunidos en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos”, Mt 18:20), aunque es posible que no lo reconozcamos. En el Encuentro de Emaús, Jesús les abrió las Escrituras, hablando su propia palabra; a esto lo llamamos la Liturgia de la Palabra. En el relato de Emaús, los discípulos invitaron a Jesús a quedarse con ellos; en la Misa, esto corresponde al Canon, o Plegaria Eucarística, en la que tiene lugar la consagración, instituida en la Última Cena. En el relato de Emaús, cuando Jesús tomó el pan, lo bendijo y lo partió, los ojos de los discípulos se abrieron, pero Jesús desapareció de su vista. En la Misa, esto se llama el Rito de la Comunión, donde el sacerdote, actuando in persona Christi (en la persona de Cristo) consagra la Hostia; en este momento Jesús se hace presente: Cuerpo, Sangre, Alma y Divinidad: presente real y verdaderamente, y los fieles lo reconocemos. Luego, el sacerdote celebrante toma el cuerpo precioso, lo rompe y lo distribuye como comunión a los fieles. Fue en esta correspondencia final que los discípulos reconocieron a su Señor en la fracción del pan, al igual que nosotros, la propia carne y sangre de Jesús para la vida del mundo (Jn.6: 51), cuya carne es el verdadero alimento, y cuya sangre es verdadera bebida (Jn. 6:55). Después de esto comienza el Evangelio de hoy. Los discípulos, habiendo reconocido a Jesús en la fracción del pan, regresan con fervor a los doce para contar lo que habían visto. Mientras todavía están hablando, Jesús aparece en medio de ellos. Cabe señalar que en otros evangelios, el episodio de “Tomás el incrédulo” ocurre cuando Jesús se aparece a los doce; pero, a la luz de la confesión de fe de Santo Tomás - "¡Mi Señor y mi Dios! - es mejor llamar a ese episodio" La Creencia de Tomás ". Quizás se menciona aquí una alusión a este detalle cuando Jesús dice: “¿Por qué estás turbado? ¿Y por qué surgen preguntas en vuestro corazón? Mira mis manos y mis pies, que soy yo mismo. Tócame y mira, porque un fantasma no tiene carne y huesos como puedes ver que yo tengo ". ¡Claramente, Santo Tomás no fue el único que abrigó dudas! Después de esto, Jesús proclama su Resurrección y todo lo que están presenciando como el cumplimiento de la Escritura (como acababa de hacer con los dos discípulos en el camino a Emaús) y el comienzo de la Iglesia. La reacción de los discípulos a todo esto fue una conversión completa; pronto salieron hasta los confines de la tierra para proclamar esta Buena Nueva, el Evangelio, a todas las naciones. Para nosotros, en nuestro encuentro semanal con la Divina Presencia en la Eucaristía, ¿cómo nos afecta? ¿Cómo nos transfigura el Señor resucitado? ¿Cuál será nuestra respuesta: salir y quedarnos mudos? ¿O saldremos y proclamaremos la Buena Nueva de la Resurrección con nuestras vidas?
