<strong>St</strong>. <strong>James</strong>—<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Leo</strong> <strong>Catholic</strong> <strong>Community</strong> is under the pastoral care of the Eudist Fathers, or Congregation of Jesus <strong>and</strong> Mary. We owe our<br />
name to Saint John Eudes who founded the Congregation in France in 1643. The Eudists currently operate in 15 countries, most of which are<br />
in the developing world. Evangelization, mainly with the poor <strong>and</strong> the youth, is our primary purpose, as well as formation to ministry in the<br />
training of diocesan priests <strong>and</strong> lay ministers. Our motto is “To Serve Christ <strong>and</strong> His Church.” For more information visit:<br />

Año de la fe<br />
De la carta apostólica “Puerta de la fe” del Papa Benedicto XVI<br />
“El Año de la fe será también una buena oportunidad para intensificar<br />
el testimonio de la caridad. San Pablo nos recuerda:<br />
«Ahora subsisten la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, estas tres. Pero<br />
la mayor de ellas es la caridad» (1 Co 13, 13).”<br />
Nuestra Gratitud<br />
Por medio de este boletín quiero dar las gracias a todas las personas<br />
que con su trabajo, dedicación y servicio ministerial se<br />
hizo posible la celebración del Misterio Pascual durante la Semana<br />
Santa P. John Howard, CJM; P. Juan Castillo, CJM, y<br />
la Hna. Zita Toto, OLC.<br />
¡¡¡Felices Pascuas de Resurrección!!!.<br />
Registraciones para el Catecismo<br />
A partir del viernes 5 de abril iniciamos las registraciones para el<br />
catecismo período <strong>2013</strong>‐14 después de las misas, y durante la<br />
semana puede llamar al (858) 755‐2545. Ext. 102<br />
REFLECTION DOMINICAL<br />
Nuestra reflexión sobre las lecturas de Pascua puede ser<br />
tan profundo como cualquier otro a lo largo de todo el año<br />
litúrgico. <strong>St</strong>ewards entender<br />
que esta vida no es<br />
más que el preludio de la<br />
próxima vida ‐ es por eso<br />
que vivir como mayordomos.<br />
Reconocen que lo<br />
que buscan es una recompensa<br />
celestial, no una<br />
terrenal. Así pues, la<br />
pregunta que debemos<br />
preguntarnos no es "¿Qué<br />
hay en esto para mí" La<br />
pregunta que el buen<br />
camarero le pregunta es:<br />
"¿Cómo puedo servir"<br />
Estamos llamados a ser un<br />
pueblo de Pascua. Hay<br />
una diferencia importante entre ser un pueblo de Pascua y<br />
sólo unas personas de la Iglesia. Si somos verdaderamente<br />
un pueblo Pascual, nuestra atención se centra en la victoria<br />
que la resurrección de Cristo nos presenta.<br />
Pascua y la promesa que nos presenta nos hacen un pueblo<br />
alegre, que adoran con un sentido de esperanza y confianza.<br />
Gente de Pascua como buenos administradores vivir<br />
sus vidas con una actitud de gratitud, no un sentido de obligación.<br />
Pueblo Pascual no le temo a la muerte, sino que<br />
tenga consuelo en las promesas y la salvación de Cristo.<br />

Program is designed to assist<br />
those who wish to consider returning to the Church. The<br />
program includes updating in the beliefs <strong>and</strong> practices of<br />
the <strong>Catholic</strong> Church, listening to the stories of those who<br />
have been away <strong>and</strong>, most importantly, helping them<br />
reconcile any negative feelings they may have about the<br />
Church. Many of the team members have themselves<br />
been away from the Church for a number of years <strong>and</strong> are<br />
uniquely suited to appreciating the stories of those who<br />
are considering returning. The program ends with an<br />
opportunity to experience the Sacrament of Reconciliation<br />
in the context of a relaxed scripture‐based reconciliation<br />
service.<br />

Feast of Faith<br />
A walk-through of the Mass from beginning to end<br />
The Gloria<br />
The Gloria, or Glory to God, follows the penitential rite.<br />
Both are acts of praise. In the penitential rite, we sing of<br />
the mercy of Christ. In the Gloria we praise God’s saving<br />
action in the universe.<br />
The Gloria is a relatively late addition to the Mass. It first<br />
appeared in the Roman liturgy in the sixth century, <strong>and</strong><br />
then it was sung only by the pope—<strong>and</strong> only on Christmas!<br />
With time, the hymn came to be sung by bishops on<br />
major feasts, <strong>and</strong> then by priests; finally, it became the<br />
song of the entire assembly. With the advent of more<br />
elaborate musical settings, the people gradually stopped<br />
singing the Gloria, until this song of the people became<br />
the exclusive domain of the priest <strong>and</strong> the choir. But the<br />
liturgical reforms have restored it to its place as primarily<br />
the song of the assembly.<br />

Our reflection on the <strong>Easter</strong> readings may be as profound as<br />
any throughout the liturgical year. <strong>St</strong>ewards underst<strong>and</strong> that<br />
this life is merely a prelude<br />
to the next life — that is<br />
why they live as stewards.<br />
They recognize that what<br />
they seek is a heavenly reward,<br />
not an earthly one.<br />
Thus the question they<br />
must ask is not “What is in<br />
this for me” The question<br />
the good steward asks is,<br />
“How can I serve”<br />
We are called to be an <strong>Easter</strong><br />
people. There is a significant<br />
difference between<br />
being an <strong>Easter</strong> people <strong>and</strong><br />
just a Church people. If we<br />
are truly an <strong>Easter</strong> people,<br />
our focus is on the victory<br />
which Christ’s Resurrection presents to us.<br />
<strong>Easter</strong> <strong>and</strong> the promise it presents us make us a joyful people,<br />
who worship with a sense of hope <strong>and</strong> confidence. <strong>Easter</strong> people<br />
as good stewards live their lives with an attitude of gratitude,<br />
not a sense of obligation. <strong>Easter</strong> people do not fear<br />
death, but have comfort in the promises <strong>and</strong> salvation of<br />
Christ.<br />
