Message from Father Rafael, Holy Week and Easter schedule, "Mother Ireland" event this Sunday afternoon


A message from Father Rafael De Avila y Romero,  Pastor:

Easter 2016
One more year, we are about to celebrate the great festivities of our Christian faith: the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Holy Week tells us that there is always hope, joy and thankfulness.  Holy Week reminds us, that through generosity, the shadows of death or despair vanish from our lives.  Holy Week shows us that God, our Father, always takes care of the most excellent outcome of his hands - us!

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,  God our Father is telling us that the light is shining over us, that life is blooming and hope never vanishes.

Easter time tells us that we, mankind, are one just as one the Bread and Wine - the Body and Blood of Christ - are one.  We are always united, not uniformed.  We are the beautiful and colorful tapestry brought to new life by the Resurrection of Christ.  HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL.


Un ano mas estamos por celebrar las grandes fiestas de nuestra fe cristiana: la Pasion, Muerte y Resurreccion de nuestro Senor Jesucristo. La semana santa nos dice que siempre hay esperanza, alegria y agradecimiento. La semana santa nos recureda que a traves de la generosidad las sombras de la muerte o de la deseperacion se desvanecen de nuestras vidas. La semana santa nos muestra que Dios, nuestro Padre, seimpre esta cuidando el fruto mas excelente salido de sus manos: NOSOTROS.

Por medio de la muerte y resurreccion de Jesucristo, Dios nuestro Padre nos esta diciendo que la luz esta brillando sobre nosotros que la vida esta floreciendo y que la esperanza nunca desaparece.  

El tiempo de Pascua nos dice que nosotros, la humanidad, somos uno asi como el Pan y el Vino - el Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo - son uno. Nosotros estamos siempre unidos, no uniformados. Nosotros somos la bella y colorida tapiceria que ha obtenido la nueva vida por medio de la Resurreccion de Cristo. FELICES PASCUAS DE RESURRECCION PARA TODOS.

Four-leafed clovers apparently exist but are rare, so if you find one,  you're in luck.  Why?

According to legend, the first leaf is for Faith, the Second is for Hope, the third is for Love and the fourth is for luck!
