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

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.
