Easter Sunday of the Resurrection
REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL
John 20:1-9;
That first Easter
morning must have
been a
whirlwind of
confusion, perplexity,
and ultimately joy.
According to John
’
s
gospel, Mary of
Magdala was the first
to find the tomb empty.
Her reaction was not
belief in the
resurrection, but
something more
banal
-
that somebody
had stolen the body.
She immediately informs
Peter and another
disciple of her suspicion.
That other disciple is thought
to be the Beloved Disciple,
aka
“
the disciple whom
Jesus loved.
”
He is nameless
throughout the Gospel of
John, and there is not
mention of this person in any
other gospel. Yet he is
portrayed as the model of
discipleship, as we see that
“
he saw and believed,
”
something not even Peter did
upon witnessing the empty
tomb. Interestingly, the
gospel passage ends on the
note that these disciples did
not yet understand the
Scripture that he had to rise
from the dead. After all this
time with Jesus, and even
finding the tomb empty, they
still did not understand. Yet,
the Beloved Disciple, at least,
believed. Such a story gives
hope to us who did not travel
with Jesus or experience his
historical ministry. If we have
questions or experience a lack
of understanding, we may be
assured that the earliest
disciples, the followers of
Jesus himself, felt the same
way even after the
resurrection. Living Liturgy

EASTER MESSAGE FROM FR. ARTURO
Dear St Patrick Parishioners and Friends,
Easter blessings to all of you! The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith and it is the reason to be strong during this difficult time we are apart. All of us here at St. Patrick Parish we miss you, and we pray that you, your families and loved ones, have a blessed Easter. With sincere gratitude, I also thank you for your prayers and financial support during this time we are facing together. It is really a blessing for me to receive some cards, phone calls and emails from all of you. Some of you have also left goodies and food in front of my door and it is then I realize that even though we are physically separated we are one community united by generosity, gratitude, and prayer.
Easter brings so many promises of God to all of us, life in Christ is stronger than death, love can over-come hatred, and eternal life in Heaven is our final destination. I pray and offer the holy Eucharist every day that you remain strong and have the patience to overcome anxiety and fear. May the Risen Lord remain in all your hearts, that you may always embrace Him with love and gratitude. May God bless each and every one of you and your loved ones.
Fr. Arturo Romero Pastor
MENSAJE DE PASCUA DEL
P. ARTURO
Estimados feligreses de San Patricio,
¡Bendiciones de Pascua para todos ustedes! La resu-rrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo es el fundamento de nuestra fe y es la razón para ser fuertes durante es-te momento difícil que estamos separados. Todos los que permanecemos aquí en la Parroquia de San Patri-cio los extrañamos y oramos para que usted, sus fami-lias y seres queridos tengan una Feliz Pascua.
Con sincera gratitud, también les agradezco sus ora-ciones y su apoyo económico durante este tiempo que enfrentamos juntos. Es realmente una bendición para mí recibir algunas tarjetas, llamadas telefónicas y co-rreos electrónicos de todos ustedes. Algunos de uste-des también han dejado regalos y comida frente a mi puerta, en esos detalles es cuando me doy cuenta de que, aunque estamos físicamente separados, somos una comunidad unida por la generosidad, la gratitud y la oración.
La Pascua trae tantas promesas de Dios a todos noso-tros, la vida en Cristo es más fuerte que la muerte, el amor puede vencer el odio y la vida eterna en el cielo es nuestro destino final. Oro y ofrezco la santa Euca-ristía todos los días para que permanezcan fuertes y tengan paciencia para soportar la ansiedad y el miedo. Que el Señor resucitado permanezca en sus corazo-nes, para que siempre lo abracen con amor y gratitud. Que Dios les bendiga a todos y cada uno de ustedes y a sus seres queridos también.
Padre Arturo Romero Párroco
A MESSAGE AND UPDATE FROM ARCHBISHOP SAMPLE
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Praised be Jesus Christ!
On March 16, 2020, I issued a decree suspending the celebration of public Masses throughout the Archdiocese until April 14, 2020. I did so with a very heavy heart, hoping that this state of affairs would only last a few weeks. It has become clear, however, that the impact of the COVID-19 virus is very far-reaching and will be with us for some time. On March 23, 2020, Oregon's
Governor Brown issued an order mandating that state residents remain at home until further notice except for essential work and trips to obtain necessary supplies. On March 31, 2020, the President issued similar guidance for the entire month of April to slow the spread of the pandemic.
In order to be in accord with government directives and protect the people of the Archdiocese, I am therefore extending the suspension of all public Masses in the
Archdiocese of Portland until further notice. I am likewise dispensing all of the faithful from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation until further notice. Priests will still be offering Sunday and daily Masses privately and I remind you of the many opportunities now available to participate in livestreamed liturgies at your parishes and at the Cathedral, especially during Holy Week. I will reinstate the public celebration of the Holy Mass at the soonest date possible, following the recommendations of public health and other civil officials.
We must continue to remember that the Holy Eucharist remains the source and summit of the Christian life and pray that this time of fast-ing from it will brfast-ing forth abundant fruit for the Church. May we look forward with great-er eaggreat-erness to the joy of the resurrection and as always, remember those most afflicted by the present situation. In the mystery of Christ's passion, death and resurrection,
Most Reverend Alexander K. Sample Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon
UN MENSAJE Y ACTUALIZACIÓN DE MUES-TRA DE ARZOBISPO
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
¡Alabado sea Jesucristo!
El 16 de marzo de 2020, emiti un decreto
suspendiendo la celebración de Misas públicas en toda la Arquidiócesis hasta el 14 de abril de 2020. Lo hice con un Corazón muy apesadumbrado, con la esperanza de que esto solo durara unas pocas semanas. Sin embar-go, ha quedado claro que elimpacto del virus COVID -19 es de gran alcance y estará con nosotros por algúin tiempo. El 23 de marzo de 2020, la Gobernadora Brown de Oregon emitió un mandato que ordenaba que los residents del estado permanecieran en sus
hogares hasta nuevo aviso, except para el trabajo esen-cial y para obtener los suministros
necesarios. El 31 de marzo de 2020, el Presidente emitió una guia similar para todo el mes de abril para frenar la propagacion de la pandemia.
Por lo tanto, para estar de acuerdo con las directrices del gobierno y proteger a la gente de la Ar-quidiócesis, extiendo la suspensión de todas las Misas públicas en la Arquidiócesis de Portland hasta nuevo aviso. Asimismo, estoy dispensando a todos los fieles de la obligación de asistir a Misa lost domingos y dias de obligación hasta nuevo aviso. Los sacerdotes se-guirán ofreciendo Misas dominicales y diarias en privado y les recuero de las muchas oportunidades dis-ponibles ahora para participar en liturgias que son transmitidas en vivo desde sus parroquias y desde la Catedral, especialmente durante la semana Santa. Rest-ableceré la celebración pública de la Santa Misa lo an-tes possible, siguiendo las recomendaciones de la ofici-na de salud publica y ostros funcioofici-narios civiles. Debemos continuar recordando que la Sagrada Eu-carista sigue siendo la Fuente y la cumbre de la vida Cristiana y orar para que este tiempo de ayuno produzca abundantes frutos para la
Iglesia. Esperemos con mayor ansia la alegria de la res-urreccion y, como siem,pre, recordemos a los más afectados por la situación actual.
En el misterio de la passion, muerte y resurreccion de Cristo,
Reverendisimo Alexander K. Sample Arquidiocesis de Portland en Oregon
