Easter 2021

San Sebastián de Garabandal Parish

Every year an early and haunting hope guides us to the grave, and although the questions and obscurities of the moment: Pandemic, vaccines, bewilderment of a corrupt politics, where sincerity and loyalty are conspicuous by their absence. In this sea of ​​turbulent waters and violent storms we need to live the great week of the Church, to rekindle with new impulse the Easter light before the darkness of the moment. No obstacle can question us how to run the stone of the entrance, if we have bought all the follow-up scents, of bravery, Illusion, of brotherhood and perseverance, then we will find the stone removed, without the darkness of this world preventing free entry to the tomb to be able to hear and experience "today" the same words those women of faith. And from that Easter experience we will feel the mandate to announce it to our brothers convinced that in the Galilee of the suffering world the Risen One becomes visible.. Each Easter is a challenge to give a reason for our hope to this world permeated by bleak and disturbing circumstances (1P 3-15) this hope has a name: Jesus Christ and is based on a fact: your patient and encouraging Easter RESURECTION 2021. P. Rolando

Palm Sunday 28/03/2021

Following Christ implies persevering fidelity to his person, to his Gospel and to his Church under the gaze of Mary his Mother and our Mother. Whoever wants to come with me ……… carry his cross and follow me (Mc 8, 34-9,1).

historical and great week begins with an invitation to follow Jesus Christ, with dignity, lucidity, poise and courage amidst so many obstacles, in a time so full of urgent hope in the face of a pandemic darkness that covers our lives with fears and uncertainties, and threatened with wavering difficulties in the face of the passage of a communist policy that threatens freedoms and dignities of all kinds. Palm Sunday challenges us to awaken our firm responsibility and courageous commitment as believers ( Mt 16,24).

The Eucharist is a joyful sacrament of faith, of firm hope and urgent shared love. We can not share Christ ignoring hunger, the injustice, violence and the dignity of the human being, We can't look the other way before so many Lazars who prowl our tables looking for their crumbs (Mt 25, 35-40), (Lc 16, 19-31). This sacrament of the Eucharist is asking for the sacrament of confession not as a make-up of conscience but as a conversion of the heart and invites us to live it and feel it from a deep faith.

Mother of the Eucharist, your Yes begot the Bread of Life and Eternity. We ask you to live in permanent Eucharist to transform our life and make our world more human and more of God. May we receive the Eucharistic Bread, foundation of the new man and humanity. May we receive the Blessed Fruit of your womb with a clean heart, for conversion into the sacrament of confession. May we feed our lives with this Bread that gives us lucidity, courage and poise for the joys and difficulties of all times. 20:00 hours: Holy Hour-Personal Prayer

The Cross of Christ is the song to life and hope. It is a call to the heart of a humanity that has forgotten the great mark of its history. The Cross does not hinder and the crucified is our only hope. The Cross is the great chair for humanity and the strength to sustain the march of walkers through this world: "Look at the tree of the Cross". It is a day of inner silence to look with faith and gratitude the glorious Cross of the Lord. It is the greatest book of love: "By dying he destroyed our death and rising he restored life". The cross is a sign of life (Jn 19,34) and a sign of eternal life (Lc 23,43). Afternoon of silence and adoration of the Crucified. On the Cross, as Saint Teresa of Jesus says, there is life and consolation and she alone is the way to heaven.. Solemn of the divine will (Lc 22,42). La Cruz is a book of mute eloquence. Pope Francis tells us: "De la Cruz springs Mercy of the Father who embraces the whole world". Next to this Cross we feel the maternal strength of Mary as the great Cyrenean who helps us in this valley of tears.

Lhe Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the center of our faith and the foundation of our hope. With the Resurrection of Christ begins, no longer a new day, but a new era, the first day of the new creation. This announcement is for us the greatest joy, because Christ lives and is with us. It is the best hope, because it anticipates the result desired, eternal life. Most sanctification because we die to sin and live bondage of the life of Jesus. And the greater commitment, because we need to witness boldly, aplomb, joy and courage of the risen Christ, His Gospel and His Church. The Cirio Pascual, symbol of the Risen Christ, dispel our darkness as we walk through the Galilee of this world and illuminate our path of hope.

In that walking, believers know that we are not alone. The Risen One accompanies us.
