Easter Sunday: The Resurrection of the Lord
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Alleluia! Easter is always,
but especially in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, the victory of God’s gentle but invincible mercy
raising up Jesus, “faithful witness, the first-born of the dead” (Revelation 1:5), “first-born among many
brothers [and sisters]” (Romans 8:29), conquering death in all its forms, in all of us in the human family. In
Luke’s Vigil Gospel, heavenly messengers send the women forth: “Remember what [Jesus] said to you” (Luke
24:6). In John’s Gospel, the empty tomb likewise “sends forth” Mary Magdalene, Peter, and the Beloved
Disciple, who believe though they do not fully understand. Finally, Luke’s evening “Emmaus” Gospel sends us
forth, as “missionaries of mercy,” assuring us that we will encounter the Risen Lord, today and every day, in
“the stranger” we meet along life’s journey, in “the Word that makes our hearts burn within us,” and “in the
breaking of bread” (see Luke 24:32, 35). —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Fifty years or so ago, it was popular to teach
that every Sunday is a “Little Easter.” Today, after
several decades of intense liturgical reform, it is
more proper to think of today as a “Big Sunday.” On
every Sunday of the year, the Church is obliged to
assemble, keeping the day holy. In most places, we
hardly attain the goal of gathering all who are in
Christ by baptism. Look around today and see what a
Big Sunday looks like!
Our tradition speaks of remembering, anamnesis, as the antidote to “amnesia,” the tragic forgetting of who God is and who we are as God’s most
beloved creation. On this Easter day, we are at our
very best. We remember who God is, and we remember who we are in God’s eyes: beloved sons and
daughters, reborn to eternal life in baptismal waters.
We rekindle our candles and reclaim our baptismal
promises. As a “Big Sunday,” today also reflects the
character of festivity and leisure that should mark
every Lord’s Day. We wear “Sunday best” today, and
we may take some time, especially in the northern
states, to stroll through a budding garden. It is truly
a “Big Sunday,” and how different our lives would be
if we took its values and traditions forward into all
the Sundays of our lives.

March
The Church throughout the
world echoes the angel’s message to the women: “Do not be
afraid! I know that you are
looking for Jesus who was
crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised…
Come, see the place where he lay” ( Mt 28:5-6).

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
Domingo de Pascua: la Resurrección del Señor
Este es el día en que actuó el Señor, sea nuestra
alegría y nuestro gozo. ¡Aleluya! En este Año Jubilar
de la Misericordia la Pascua continua siendo la victoria
de Dios misericordioso que levanta a Jesús “el testigo
fiel, el primogénito de los muertos y el soberano de
los reyes de la tierra” (Apocalipsis 1:5), “el primogénito entre muchos hermanos” (Romanos 8:29), venciendo a la muerte en todas sus formas, en todos nos
nosotros en la familia humana. En el Evangelio de la
Vigilia, este año el de Lucas, mensajeros celestiales
enviaron a las mujeres a anunciar (24:6). En el Evangelio de Juan, la tumba vacía igualmente “envía” a
María Magdalena, Pedro y el Discípulo Amado,
quienes creían aunque no entendían plenamente. Por
último, en la tarde de este domingo de Pascua, el
Evangelio de Lucas que cuenta la historia de Emaús,
nos envía como “misioneros de misericordia”,
asegurándonos que encontraremos al Señor Resucitado, hoy y cada día en “la persona desconocida” que
encontramos en nuestro camino de la vida, en la
“Palabra que hace que arda nuestros corazones” y “al
partir el pan” (ver Lucas 24:32, 35).

Prayer of Pope
Francis for the
Jubilee
Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to be merciful like the
heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew
from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things;
made Peter weep after his betrayal,
and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the
words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman:
“If you knew the gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all by
forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world, its
Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be
clothed in weakness
in order that they may feel compassion for those
in ignorance and error:
let everyone who approaches them feel sought
after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us
with its anointing,
so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of
grace from the Lord,
and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm,
may bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live
and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for
ever and ever. Amen.
Oración de
Papa
Francisco
Señor Jesucristo,
tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como
el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te
ve, lo ve también a Él.
Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación.
Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a
Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero;
a la adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la
felicidad solamente en una creatura;
hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición,
y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido.
Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como
propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana:
¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible,
del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre
todo con el perdón y la misericordia:
haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro
visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso.
Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran
revestidos de debilidad
para que sientan sincera compasión por los que
se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error:
haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se
sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su
unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea
un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda,
con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva
a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los
prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a
los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre
de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el
Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los
siglos. Amén.
