The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ<br />

April 8th 2012<br />

Bible Speaks<br />

Pg. 3<br />

by Pastor Rev. Julian P. Harris<br />

Do not hold on to<br />

me, because I have<br />

not yet ascended to<br />

the Father. But go to My<br />

brothers and say to them, ‘I<br />

am ascending to My Father<br />

and your Father, to My God<br />

and your God’. (John 20:17)<br />

We cling to Jesus because we<br />

want to keep Him with us<br />

always. Anyone who has lost<br />

someone beloved knows the<br />

experience of which I speak<br />

and understands, deeply, the<br />

<br />

heart on seeing The Risen Lord<br />

<br />

Perhaps it was your<br />

wife or husband, a son or a<br />

daughter, a unique friend,<br />

an incomparable teacher or<br />

preacher or a close colleague<br />

who rallied for a hour or a<br />

day, defying all reason and<br />

giving birth to a hope against<br />

all hope. This is a wonderful<br />

grace, but it comes with a high<br />

price. It is like the stillness<br />

of the wind and calmness of<br />

the waters before the great<br />

storm breaks over you. They<br />

leave you their bodies but<br />

they withdraw that essential<br />

part that communicates love,<br />

affection and reassurance surance<br />

into a tiny, remote knot of<br />

consciousness, inaccessible. sible.<br />

It’s all right to let them go,<br />

encourage your companions<br />

at the bedside or by the tomb.<br />

But you cling all the more<br />

It’s all<br />

right, you know, to suffer<br />

like this. Suffering seals the<br />

memory against loss and<br />

decay. The moment of Our<br />

<br />

birth to The Church and to Her<br />

sacred memory that unfolds<br />

for us and in us at Easter.<br />

We celebrate those days<br />

and weeks of The Lord<br />

because of memories that we<br />

want to keep alive and because<br />

<br />

we are and who e want to be<br />

and become. We surrender<br />

ourselves to the discipline of<br />

Lent and the trails of the Via<br />

Dolorosa in order to renew<br />

and revitalize our relationship<br />

with Jesus Christ and those<br />

nearest to our hearts whom we<br />

have lost here on Resurrection<br />

Day.<br />

How blessed are the<br />

memories that we have of those<br />

whom we have loved and lost<br />

to the often incomprehensible<br />

destiny of which we all will<br />

partake. The Easter Lilies

The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ<br />

April 8th 2012<br />

Bible Speaks continued..<br />

remain to adorn the church<br />

with their memories, but they<br />

are gone. And many here have<br />

broken hearts, broken more<br />

deeply than anything that had<br />

befallen them before or since.<br />

Perhaps merciful numbness<br />

has lent its service to helping<br />

the mourner to bear the<br />

unbearable. Memory, too,<br />

attends the bereft and, like the<br />

angels attesting to the empty<br />

tomb, stands at hand forever.<br />

Mary must let her Master<br />

go and bear witness to Him<br />

by keeping His memory alive.<br />

Memory can be bittersweet,<br />

and tears oftentimes<br />

accompany even the brightest<br />

recollections of that One who<br />

is beyond our sight. But in<br />

time, say two thousand years,<br />

memories can become more<br />

sweet than painful. And in<br />

moments clouded even by<br />

unbidden tears, we are moved<br />

to give thanks to have been<br />

privileged to know and to<br />

love—even for a fraction of our<br />

time upon this good earth—<br />

that One Who has gone before<br />

us into Eternity to meet God: I<br />

am ascending to My Father<br />

and your Father, to My God<br />

and your God. Take courage,<br />

my beloved, who have come to<br />

celebrate the victory of life on<br />

Easter Morning. And to those<br />

among us who have felt and<br />

endured such a loss in their<br />

own lives, I give you these<br />

words by William F. Floyd,<br />

words that real faith and love<br />

can proclaim:<br />

My times are in Thy hand;<br />

My God, I wish them there;<br />

My life, my friends, my soul I<br />

leave Entirely to Thy care.<br />

My times are in Thy<br />

hand; Whatever they may be;<br />

Pleasing or painful, dark or<br />

bright,<br />

As best may seem to Thee.<br />

My times are in Thy hand;<br />

Why should I doubt or fear?<br />

My Father’s hand will never<br />

cause His child a needless tear.<br />

My times are in Thy hand,<br />

<br />

Those hands my cruel sins had<br />

pierced<br />

Are now my guard and guide.<br />

My times are in Thy<br />

hand,<br />

I’ll always trust in<br />

Thee;<br />

And, after death, at<br />

Thy right hand<br />

I shall forever be.<br />

Father Peter Truong,<br />

Father Alex Vargas, the<br />

Deacons, the Ministries and<br />

<strong>St</strong>aff of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong> call<br />

upon our Father and your<br />

Father, our God and your<br />

God, to give you the singular<br />

grace of recollection and<br />

remembrance of your every<br />

Dearly Beloved here at Easter<br />

and the assurance in the<br />

Resurrection Power of Jesus<br />

Christ that they are with God<br />

and we, too, shall one day be<br />

also. This is the Feast of Love,<br />

Love that never dies, Love that<br />

never fails, Love that not even<br />

the gates of the netherworld or<br />

hell itself can prevail against.<br />

We experience a share in this<br />

Love everyday, at every Mass,<br />

with you, our Dearly Beloved<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Peregrine<br />

Pg.<br />

13<br />

by Rev. Julian P. Harris,<br />

Pastor<br />

The LORD God said unto<br />

David His servant: With<br />

all your heart you wanted<br />

to build a temple for my Name.<br />

It is good that you wanted to do<br />

that. (1 Kg 8:18) The late Rev.<br />

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was<br />

<br />

<br />

Dreams in which he says: Each<br />

of you …in some way is working<br />

towards some kind of temple.<br />

The struggle is always there. Its<br />

gets discouraging some times…<br />

well, that is the story of life. And<br />

the thing that makes me happy<br />

is that I can hear a voice crying<br />

through the vista of time, saying:<br />

It may not come today or<br />

it may not come tomorrow, but<br />

it is well that it is within thine<br />

heart…Thank God that we have<br />

hearts to put something meaningful<br />

into.<br />

Our <strong>St</strong>. Peregrine Garden is<br />

such a temple. It is a temple of<br />

honor and of memory to those<br />

who carry the burden of cancer<br />

as victims and survivors, and to<br />

those who helped them bear the<br />

<br />

alas will walk in this life. It can<br />

be a lonely path with only Jesus<br />

to walk beside you through the<br />

lonesome valley. It too often is<br />

the last walk we will take because<br />

it leads to that<br />

ultimate rendezvous between<br />

rection.<br />

It can be a miraculous<br />

journey where you meet Jesus<br />

Christ the Healer along the way,<br />

as it was for <strong>St</strong>. Peregrine the<br />

Cancer-Saint. It is always in<br />

our hearts that with the help of<br />

<br />

prayers joined to those of The<br />

Saint the hard path will lead to<br />

that greatest news—cancer free!<br />

As temples ourselves we carry<br />

the Names and the inspirations<br />

of our loved ones who lived<br />

heroically with cancer. It fell to<br />

us spouses, children, friends or<br />

kind caregivers to accompany<br />

them, to love them, to minister<br />

to their bodies and to be witnesses<br />

to their nobility. Their<br />

Names are written in our hearts,<br />

but we, like them, must one<br />

day lay down our mortality for<br />

immortality. We must not lay<br />

down their Names with us.<br />

For the sake of their Names<br />

and their lives we have it in our<br />

hearts to build this temple of<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Peregrine. We want them to<br />

be remembered, their Names<br />

sung long after all of us have<br />

gone and a place to mark their<br />

passing along the road of life.<br />

The Bible tells us: Have regard<br />

to thy name; for that shall continue<br />

with thee above a thousand<br />

great treasures of gold. A<br />

good life hath but few days: but<br />

a good name endureth for ever.<br />

(Sirach 41:12-13) This Memorial<br />

Path marks the struggle and<br />

the Memorial Wall perpetuates<br />

the Names from one generation<br />

to the next at<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong> Church.<br />

It is the nature of life that much<br />

will be left undone when The<br />

LORD calls us from this world to<br />

Himself. This Memorial should<br />

not be one of them. Endow a<br />

brick in the path or a plaque on<br />

the wall to proclaim your love<br />

and their Good Name. With the<br />

memorial they will be remembered<br />

and prayed for forever in<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Thomas</strong> <strong>More</strong>.<br />

The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ<br />

April 8th 2012<br />

La fe católica ha<br />

tivamente<br />

la vida,<br />

costumbres e historia<br />

de este Continente, en el<br />

que muchas de sus naciones<br />

están conmemorando<br />

el bicentenario<br />

de su independencia. Es<br />

un momento histórico<br />

en el que siguió brillando<br />

el nombre de Cristo,<br />

llegado aquí por obra<br />

de insignes y abnegados<br />

misioneros, que lo<br />

proclamaron con audacia<br />

y sabiduría. Ellos lo<br />

dieron todo por Cristo,<br />

mostrandoque el hombre<br />

encuentra en él su<br />

consistencia y la fuerza<br />

necesaria para vivir en<br />

<br />

sociedad digna del ser<br />

humano, como su Creador<br />

lo ha querido.<br />

Aquel ideal de no anteponer<br />

nada al Señor, y de<br />

hacer penetrante la Palabra<br />

de Dios en todos,<br />

sirviéndose de los propios<br />

signos y mejores<br />

tradiciones, sigue siendo<br />

una valiosa orientación<br />

para los Pastores de hoy.<br />

Las iniciativas que se<br />

realicen con motivo del<br />

Año de la fe deben estar<br />

encaminadas a conducir a<br />

los hombres hacia Cristo,<br />

cuya gracia les permitirá<br />

dejar las cadenas del pecado<br />

que los esclaviza y<br />

avanzar hacia la libertad<br />

auténtica y responsable.<br />

A esto está ayudando<br />

también la Misión continental<br />

promovida en<br />

Aparecida, que tantos frutos<br />

de renovación eclesial<br />

está ya cosechando en las<br />

Iglesias particulares de<br />

América Latina y el Caribe.<br />

Entre ellos, el estudio,<br />

la difusión y meditación<br />

de la Sagrada Escritura,<br />

que anuncia el amor de<br />

Dios y nuestra salvación.<br />

En este sentido, los exhorto<br />

a seguir abriendo<br />

los tesoros del evangelio,<br />

tan<br />

en potencia de esperanza,<br />

libertad y salvación<br />

para todos los hombres<br />

(cf. Rm 1,16). Y sean<br />

<br />

e intérpretes de la palabra<br />

del Hijo encarnado,<br />

que vivió para cumplir<br />

la voluntad del Padre y,<br />

siendo hombre con los<br />

hombres, se desvivió por<br />

ellos hasta la muerte.
