Christ is Risen!

Brothers and Sisters,

Christ is Risen! He is truly Risen! The Resurrection of Christ from the Dead is a historical fact. Everything that we celebrate during our time on this earth: birth, anniversaries, our friendships, different memorials, and various milestones in life receive their beauty, joy and meaning when placed in the light of the resurrection. Extinguish that light and the darkness is overwhelming. If death is the conclusion of your short pilgrimage through this earth, your final act on this stage you call life, in a play that continues on without you, all your actions are ultimately meaningless. Your life, however exciting or bland, has no value. Suffering, pain and death are your daily companions on this journey, reminding you that happiness, joy and peace are simply fleeting experiences punctuating your arduous existence.

Today we celebrate that it is not so. God created the world, created beauty, created life. And God is love. Therefore, all that exists, everything action of the Father springs forth from His love and sings, proclaims, and announces His unending love for us. God is love and though we have mocked him, rejected him, and killed him, he returns, looking for us. Today the Church announces that Christ is Risen from the dead, the grave is not the last stop. He created us for an eternity of beauty and happiness with Him, the tomb is empty. Your life has an infinite value and was willed directly by God. You are totally known and loved by the Alpha and the Omega. Today eternal life is announced, the ulmate victory over death. Christ is alive. Today. He is truly Risen!

I wish you a joyful Easter season full of the love of God!
​Fr. Kevin


Hermanos y Hermanas,

¡Cristo ha resucitado! ¡Es verdaderamente Resucitado! La resurrección de Cristo de los muertos es un hecho histórico. Todo lo que celebramos durante nuestro tiempo en esta tierra: nacimiento, aniversarios, nuestras amistades, diferentes monumentos conmemorativos y varios hitos en la vida reciben su belleza, alegría y significado cuando se colocan a la luz de la resurrección. Apaga esa luz y la oscuridad es abrumadora. Si la muerte es la conclusión de tu breve peregrinación por esta tierra, tu acto final en esta etapa llamas vida, en una obra que continúa sin ti, todas tus acciones son en última instancia sin sentido. Tu vida, por emocionante o sosa que sea, no tiene valor. El sufrimiento, el dolor y la muerte son vuestros compañeros diarios en este viaje, recordándoles que la felicidad, la alegría y la paz son simplemente experiencias fugaces que marcan tu ardua existencia.

Hoy celebramos que no es así. Dios creó el mundo, creó belleza, creó vida. Y Dios es amor. Por lo tanto, todo lo que existe, toda acción del Padre brota de Su amor y canta, proclama y anuncia Su amor interminable por nosotros. Dios es amor y aunque nos hemos burlado de él, lo hemos rechazado y lo hemos matado, regresa, buscándonos. Hoy la Iglesia anuncia que Cristo ha resucitado de entre los muertos, la tumba no es la última parada. Él nos creó para una eternidad de belleza y felicidad con Él, la tumba está vacía. Tu vida tiene un valor infinito y fue fundada directamente por Dios. Eres totalmente conocido y amado por el Alfa y el Omega. Hoy se anuncia la vida eterna, la victoria final sobre la muerte. Cristo está vivo. Hoy. ¡Es verdaderamente Resucitado!
​
¡Os deseo una feliz Pascua llena del amor de Dios!
P. Kevin
