Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Boundless and limitless
Infinito y sin límites
Today’s readings and prayers illustrate that God’s love
is boundless. In the Gospel, Jesus returns to the apostles for the third time to continue preparing them for the
work they must do. They are so happy to be in his
company again. They have yet to truly comprehend the
mission that Jesus has been preparing them for. Jesus
uses the casting of the nets and bountiful catch of fish
as the symbol of the work he desires the apostles to do.
After the miraculous catch, Jesus asks Peter three
times if he loves him. After each inquiry which Peter
answers in the affirmative, Jesus responds, “Feed my
lambs” and “Tend my sheep.” Jesus wants them to understand that if they go out and evangelize, inspired by
his love for them, their yield will be boundless like their
catch of fish. This is indeed what the apostles do after
Jesus returns to heaven. In the first reading from Acts,
the apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin and reminded that they had been ordered to cease teaching in
Jesus’ name. Peter tells the high priest that this is impossible. “We are witnesses of these things, as is the
Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey
him.” Peter adds that they can’t stop preaching because “we must obey God
rather than men.” In the
second reading, John has
a vision that testifies to
the love of God the Father
for Jesus as he is extolled
by every creature in heaven and on earth. This
love is the basis for everything that Peter and the
apostles do. Their faith is
bringing them closer to
the understanding that,
“To the one who sits on
the throne and to the
Lamb be blessing and
honor, glory and might,
forever
and
ever” (Revelation 5:13).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos dan una ilustración del infinito amor de Dios. En el Evangelio, Jesús se
presenta por tercera vez ante los apóstoles para continuar preparándolos para el trabajo que deben hacer.
Les da mucha alegría estar con El nuevamente. Aún no
han llegado a verdaderamente comprender la misión
que Jesús les ha preparado. Jesús utiliza la experiencia
de haber echado las redes y sacar una gran pesca como un símbolo del trabajo que El desea que hagan los
apóstoles. Después de esta pesca milagrosa, Jesús le
pregunta a Pedro tres veces si lo ama. Después de cada pregunta a la cual Pedro contesta afirmativamente,
Jesús le responde, “apacienta mis corderos” y “pastorea
mis ovejas.” Jesús quiere que entiendan que al salir a
evangelizar, inspirados por su amor por ellos, podrán
dar frutos abundantes como la pesca abundante que
acababan de presenciar. Después de que Jesús regresa al cielo, esto es lo que hacen los apóstoles. En la
primera lectura de Hechos, los apóstoles son traídos
ante el Sanedrín y se les recuerda que se les habían
ordenado que dejaran de enseñar en nombre de Jesús.
Pedro le dice al sumo sacerdote que esto es imposible
porque, “Testigos de esto somos
nosotros y el Espíritu Santo, que
Dios da a los que le obedecen.”
Pedro agrega que no pueden dejar
de predicar porque, “Hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres.” En la segunda lectura, Juan
tiene una visión que atestigua al
amor de Dios Padre por Jesús al
ser exaltado por toda creatura en el
cielo y en la tierra. Este amor es la
base para todo lo que Pedro y los
apóstoles hacen. Su fe los acerca
más al entendimiento de que al
“que está sentado en el trono y al
Cordero, alabanza, honor, gloria y
potencia por los siglos de los siglos” (Apocalipsis 5:13).

Entering the Easter Season
After the Lenten Days
Monday April 11th is the OLA Golf
Tournament to be held at Spanish
Hills Country Club, this is a great
event for OLA friends and families that love
to golf. Tuesday April 12th will be Choir Day
at Disneyland, info to go home in the packets for those
students in choir. Also, Tuesday, 4/12 from 6:00-7:00
pm the OLA School Sports Banquet will be held in the
Mulcahy Center.
Friday, 4/15 will be a noon dismissal day, a deanery
teachers meeting will be held. Also on Friday, Spring Pictures will be taken, look for info in the school packet.
And please, remember to save your
Box Tops and any receipts from the
Pacific View Mall, they earn cash for
our school. Collect and turn them into the school office or
the church rectory. Thank you all for your continued support, the school faculty and students appreciate it.
We are reminded, at the beginning of
Lent, that this is a special time for prayer,
fasting, and almsgiving. Through prayer,
we enter into the Mystery of God’s presence and deepen
our awareness that God is Creator, Savior, and Loving
Spirit in the world. Through our experiences of fasting and
abstinence, we discover the gift of our human nature and
the frailty of our own will. It is within our service and charity towards others that we offer our resources for those
around us. All this culminates in the great events of Holy
Week and the Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday,
and Holy Saturday. The sacramental life of the Church is
celebrated as when we encounter, in a very personal
way, our deeper conversion of heart and mind. Through
the Paschal Mystery, of Christ’s Passion, Death, and
Resurrection, we rise up with Jesus into the wonder of
being Christ’s followers and a community of believers.
Throughout the 40 days of Lent, we stretch our spiritual
muscles and allow the Lord to renew us in body, mind,
and spirit for the New Life that we now celebrate throughout the Easter Season. For the next 50 days, we live the
life of abundant grace that has been showered upon us.
It is in the believing community gathered in prayer that we
discover the power of the Risen Christ and His Spirit alive
among us. It is in our renewed commitment to live our
lives strengthened by the experience what it means to be
a people healed and saved from the powers of sin and
division. Jesus is our bridge who links us to the life of
grace and fulfillment. The Spirit, which hovered over creation in the Book of Genesis and over Jesus the “Beloved
Son”, at His baptism, now hovers over all of us with the
strength and power that only comes from God.
By the end of the Easter Season, we who are the Body of
Christ, will have experienced 90 days of renewal and conversion. In these days ahead, many in our community will
witness this new-found life in Christ. Those baptized and
received through the Easter Sacraments will be embraced and integrated into our community of faith. Those
receiving their first communion will begin a new relationship with the Eucharistic Jesus and forever be called upon to be an example of Christ’s love. Those receiving the
Sacrament of Confirmation will be called upon to witness
the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and to share
these gifts of the Spirit within the Church and outside to a
world that hungers for Wisdom, Understanding, Prudence, Knowledge, Fortitude, Piety, and Hope.
As we journey together during this season of grace, may
the conversion of heart that we desire for ourselves and
those around us; rejuvenate our lives, restore our relationships, and spring forth Mercy and Peace. Let us proclaim the Mystery of Faith- “Save Us Savior of the World,
for by your Cross and Resurrection, You have Set us
Free. You are the Savior of the World.”
May the Peace of Christ’s Spirit be with you.
Blessings, Fr. Leon

Entrando a la Temporada de Pascua después
de los Días de Cuaresma
Cuando iniciamos la Cuaresma recordamos
que entramos en un tiempo de oración, de
ayuno, y de limosna. Por medio de la
oración, entramos en el Misterio de la
presencia de Dios y profundizamos en
nuestro entender de Dios como Creador,
Salvador y Espíritu de Amor en el
mundo. Por medio de nuestra experiencia
de ayuno y abstinencia, descubrimos el regalo de nuestra
naturaleza humana y la fragilidad de nuestra propia
voluntad. Dentro de nuestro servicio y caridad hacia los demás
ofrecemos nuestros recursos para los que nos rodean. Todo esto
culmina en dos grandes eventos, la Semana Santa y el Triduo del
Jueves Santo, el Viernes Santo y el Sábado Santo. La vida
sacramental de la Iglesia es celebrada cuando nos encontramos,
de una manera muy especial, con una conversión más profunda
de corazón y mente. Por medio del Misterio Pascual de la Pasión,
Muerte y Resurrección de Cristo, somos elevadas con Jesús a la
maravilla de ser seguidores de Cristo y ser una comunidad de
creyentes. En los 40 días de Cuaresma, nuestros músculos
espirituales reciben más fuerza, permitiendo que el Señor renueve
nuestro cuerpo, mente, y espíritu para la Nueva Vida que ahora
celebramos durante la Temporada de Pascua. Por los próximos
50 días, experimentamos una lluvia de gracia derramada sobre
nosotros. Como creyentes, unidos en la oración, descubrimos el
poder el Cristo Resucitado y Su Espíritu vivo entre nosotros. Es
en nuestro compromiso renovado de nuestras vidas, con la fuerza
de la experiencia, que entendemos lo que es ser un pueblo
sanado y salvado del poder del pecado y la división. Jesús es el
puente que nos une a la vida de gracia y plenitud. El Espíritu, que
se mueve sobre la creación en el Libro del Génesis y sobre Jesús
el “Hijo Amado”, en Su bautismo, ahora está sobre nosotros con
la fuerza y el poder que solo vienen de Dios. Al final de la
Temporada de Pascua, nosotros como Cuerpo de Cristo,
habremos pasado por 90 días de renovación y conversión. En
estos próximos días, muchos en nuestra comunidad serán
testigos de una vida nueva en Cristo. Los bautizados y recibidos
por medio de los Sacramentos de Pascua serán abrazados e
integrados en nuestra comunidad de fe. Los que recibirán su
primera comunión iniciaran una nueva relación con Jesús
Eucarístico y serán por siempre llamado a ser ejemplo del amor
de Cristo. Los que reciben el Sacramento de Confirmación serán
llamados a ser testigos de la presencia del Espíritu Santo en sus
vidas y a compartir estos dones del Espíritu dentro de la Iglesia y
en el mundo que tiene hambre de Sabiduría, Entendimiento,
Prudencia, Consejo, Fortaleza, Piedad y Esperanza. Al continuar
juntos esta jornada de gracia, que la conversión que deseamos
para nuestro corazón y el de los demás, renueve nuestras vidas,
restaure nuestras relaciones, y brote así la Misericordia y la
Paz. Proclamemos le Misterio de Fe – “Salvador del mundo,
sálvanos, Tú que nos has liberado por tu cruz y
resurrección.” Que la paz del Espíritu de Cristo este con ustedes.
Bendiciones.
Padre Leon.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter
Think of how tired, discouraged and frustrated the apostles must have been in the Gospel reading today. Then Jesus shows up
and tells them to try one more time. Because they were willing and obedient, Jesus
blessed them abundantly. It works the same way in our
own lives today; if we trust in Jesus and do what He tells
us to do we will receive His abundant blessings! Allow
the grace of God to strengthen, renew and rekindle your
marriage relationship. The next Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekends are April 16-17 at St. Serra Parish in
Lancaster, or June 25-26 at St. Jude Parish in Westlake
Village. Contact Jeanine and Russ Walker at 805-6484244 or go online at www.twocanlove.org. We help make
good marriages better.
