Father Sean's Weekly Message

April 20, 2025

"'Jesus is risen from the dead! This message resounds in the Church the world over, along with the singing of the Alleluia. He remained two days in the tomb; but his death contained God's love in all its power, released and made manifest on the third day, the day we celebrate today: the Easter of Christ the Lord. The words heard by the women at the tomb are also addressed to us: Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here but has risen. Death, solitude, and fear are not the last word. There is a word that transcends them, a word that only God can speak: it is the word of the Resurrection' (Pope Francis). Christ has made good on all he promised. He is truly risen." (Magnificat Holy Week 2025, pg. 258)

 

My friends, let us rise with Jesus this Easter! I’m not exactly talking about our rising from our death at the end of our lives, which is what we hope our walk with the Lord will lead to, but the rising from the things in our lives that keep us stuck. We can choose today to live lives truly, Through Him, With Him, and In Him. Jesus rose from the dead so that we may have life and life to the full. He wants to be our teacher, friend, healer, and Lord. We should want that as well. He is truly risen! Will we accept his invitation to rise with him and to grow our discipleship?

 

Happy Easter from all of us on the team of St. Pius X!

«"¡Jesús ha resucitado de entre los muertos! Este mensaje resuena en la Iglesia de todo el 

mundo, junto con el canto del Aleluya. Permaneció dos días en el sepulcro; pero su muerte contuvo el amor de Dios en todo su poder, liberado y manifestado al tercer día, el día que celebramos hoy: la Pascua de Cristo el Señor. Las palabras que oyeron las mujeres en el sepulcro también se dirigen a nosotros: ¿Por qué buscan entre los muertos al que vive? No está aquí, sino que ha resucitado. La muerte, la soledad y el miedo no son la última palabra. Hay una palabra que los trasciende, una palabra que solo Dios puede pronunciar: es la palabra de la Resurrección" (Papa Francisco). Cristo ha cumplido todo lo que prometió. Ha resucitado verdaderamente». (Magníficat Semana Santa 2025, pág. 258)

 

Amigos míos, ¡resucitemos con Jesús en esta Pascua! No me refiero exactamente a resucitar de entre los muertos al final de nuestra vida, que es a lo que esperamos que nos lleve nuestro

caminar con el Señor, sino a levantarnos de las cosas que nos mantienen estancados. Hoy

podemos elegir vivir una vida plena, por Él, con Él y en Él. Jesús resucitó para que tengamos

vida y vida plena. Él quiere ser nuestro maestro, amigo, sanador y Señor. Nosotros también deberíamos desearlo. ¡Realmente ha resucitado! ¿Aceptaremos su invitación a resucitar con él y a crecer en nuestro discipulado?

 

¡Felices Pascuas de parte de todos los del equipo de San Pío X!
