FULFILLMENT It is interesting that during the Easter season, when we do not hear a reading from the Old Testament, it becomes so important. This is particularly true today. Peter’s speech begins with a prayer formula familiar to Jews: “The God of Abraham . . .” (Acts 3:13). It likewise contains the potent phrases “Holy and Righteous One” and “mouth of all the prophets” (3:14, 18). Peter was stating in no uncertain terms that the law, psalms, and prophets had been fulfilled in Christ. This is reinforced by Jesus himself in the Gospel passage, when he states that everything in the scriptures (to the early Christians “the scriptures” were what we call the Old Testament) had to be fulfilled. Above all, Jesus and Peter both emphasize that we are witnesses to all of this, and are sent forth to bear witness to it in the world. The Latin Missa, from which our word “Mass” comes, means “sent” (as in “mission”). As we leave Mass today, let us remember to be witnesses to all that has been fulfilled in the risen Christ.

CUMPLIMIENTO Es interesante que durante el tiempo de Pascua, cuando no escuchamos la lectura del Antiguo Testamento, se vuelve tan importante. Esto es particularmente cierto hoy. El discurso de Pedro comienza con una fórmula de oración familiar a los judíos: “El Dios de Abraham...” (Hechos 3:13). Asimismo contiene las poderosas frases “Santo y Justo” y “boca de todos los profetas” (3:14, 18). Pedro estaba declarando sin lugar a dudas que la ley, los salmos y los profetas se habían cumplido en Cristo. Esto se ve reforzado por el mismo Jesús en el pasaje del Evangelio, cuando dice que todo en la Escritura (para los primeros cristianos “la Escritura” era lo que hoy llamamos el Antiguo Testamento) tenía que cumplirse. Por encima de todo, Jesús y Pedro hacen hincapié en que somos testigos de todo esto, y somos enviados a dar testimonio en el mundo. La palabra missa en latín, significa “enviado” (como “misión”). Al salir de la misa de hoy, recordemos ser testigos de todo lo que se ha cumplido en Cristo resucitado. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Urgent Message from The Roman Catholic Church

Masses are being offered in some homes in the parish by priests who are NOT Roman Catholic. They belong to the OLD Catholic Church and are not in communion with Rome . It is a problem because they are baptizing and giving other Sacraments. Although Baptism in this Church is recognized, a person who receives it still is NOT a Roman Catholic until they make a FORMAL profession of Faith in our Church. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call the Parish office for clarification. NONE of these Masses have been celebrated with permission nor with authorization.

Mensaje Urgente de la Iglesia Romana Catolica

Se están ofreciendo Misas en algunos hogares por sacerdotes que NO son Católicos Romanos. Pertenecen a la Iglesia Antigua Católica y no están en comunión con Roma. Es un problema porque ellos están bautizando y dando otros Sacramentos. Aunque los Bautismos en esas Iglesias son reconocidas, una persona quien recibe el Sacramento no es Católica Romana hasta que no hagan una profesión de Fe FORMAL en nuestra Iglesia. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en llamar al la oficina Parroquial para aclaraciones. NINGUNA de estas Misas se están celebrando con permiso u autorización.
