¡Felices Pascuas de Resurrección! No hay fiesta más hermosa y más alegre que la fiesta del triunfo del amor infinito y poderoso de Jesús, Nuestro Salvador y Redentor. No hay ocasión más apropiada para estar todos los hermanos y hermanas juntos que el Domingo de Pascua. No hay nada tan alentador que ver que las puertas del cielo, las puertas de la salvación, están abiertas para toda la humanidad. Creemos en un Dios triunfador. Somos seguidores de un Dios que nos abrió el camino a seguir para llegar a la patria definitiva. Por eso nos alegramos y cantamos con toda la alegría de que es capaz nuestro corazón y nuestra garganta: ¡Aleluya! ¡Aleluya! ¡Jesús ha resucitado! Nuestro futuro y nuestro destino están asegurados. Demos gracias a Dios. ¡Felicidades!
Su amigo y servidor

Happy Easter! There is no feast more beautiful and more joyful than the feast of the triumph of the infinite and powerful love of Jesus, our savior and redeemer. There is no better occasion for the gathering of all of the brothers and sisters than on Easter Sunday. There is nothing more encouraging than to see the doors of heaven; the doors of salvation open for all of humanity. We believe in a triumphant God. We are followers of one God who has opened the path to follow leading to our final destination: Our Father’s House. This is why we are joyful and we sing happily with all of our hearts and strength: Alleluia! Alleluia! Jesus has risen! Our future and our destiny are secured. Let us give thanks to God. Congratulations!
Your friend and servant

Semana Santa o Semana Mayor, Holy Week
Semana Santa o Semana Mayor (como le llamamos en México). Comienza con la celebración de la entrada de Jesús a Jerusalén y termina con su Resurrección. Quiero invitar a todos ustedes a que vivamos en nuestra propia vida el Misterio Pascual que celebramos. Si hemos dado muerte al pecado en nuestra vida, entonces podremos experimentar el gozo de la Pascua; porque habremos pasado de la muerte a la vida, del pecado a la gracia y de la esclavitud a la libertad de los hijos e hijas de Dios. Que nuestra semana sea verdaderamente santa.

+++++Holy week or Great week (as we call it in Mexico) begins with the celebration of Jesus' entry into Jerulalem and concludes with His Resurrection. I would like to invite all of us to live out in our own lives the paschal mystery that we celebrate. If we have died to sin in our lives then we can experiment with the joy that the resurrection brings; because we have gone from death to life, from sin to grace and from slavery to freedom as God's sons and daughters. May our week be truly a holy one.

Palm Sunday
Palm of Triumph
The peaceful figure of Jesus rises above the hostility and anger of the crowds and the legal process. Jesus remains a true model of reconciliation, forgiveness and peace. In the midst of his own agony and trial, we realize the depths of Jesus' passion for unity: He is capable of uniting even Pilate and Herod together in friendship (23:12). From the cross, Luke presents Jesus forgiving his persecutors (23:34) and the dying Jesus allows even a thief to steal paradise! (23:43).
Throughout his account, Luke stresses the innocence of Jesus (23:4, 14-15, 22) who is the victim of the powers of evil (22:3, 31, 53) and who goes to his death in fulfillment of his Father's will (22:42, 46). Luke emphasizes the mercy, compassion, and healing power of Jesus (22:51; 23:43) who does not go to death lonely and deserted, but is accompanied by others who follow him on the way of the cross (23:26-31, 49).
In Luke's moving story, the palm of triumph and the cross of the Passion are not a contradiction. Herein lies the heart of the mystery proclaimed during Holy Week. Jesus gave himself up voluntarily to the Passion; he was not crushed by forces greater than himself. He freely faced crucifixion and in death was triumphant.
