¿Habrá mayor expresión del amor en la tierra que demostrar la misericordia hacia los demás? Tal amor refleja el amor más grande que nuestro Señor Divino nos demostró durante los días de su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección que acabamos de celebrar en la Iglesia.

Además de los Diez Mandamientos que Dios entregó a Moisés, como nos dice en el Antiguo Testamento (Éxodo 20:2-17 y Deuteronomio 5:6-21), que obligan a los judíos y cristianos hasta el día de hoy, la Iglesia Católica ha establecido su propio conjunto de mandamientos particulares o “preceptos” que unen a los fieles católicos bautizados.

In addition to the Ten Commandments given by God to Moses as found in the Old Testament (Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21) that oblige Jews and Christians to this very day, the Catholic Church has established its own set of particular commandments or “precepts” that bind the baptized Catholic faithful.  

Is there any more powerful expression of love on earth than showing mercy to others? Such love reflects the ultimate love shown by our Divine Lord during the days of his Passion, Death and Resurrection which we just celebrated in the Church.

On the evening of Holy Saturday, Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M., urged the faithful to remember that nothing was ever the same again after the dark hours of Jesus’ Death gave way to the light of his glorious Resurrection.

The three days before Easter Sunday are, indeed, instructive.  They speak of commitment to something great, of sharing our very selves with one another, of the sacrifice that comes with love, of the precious yet limited time we have on this earth, of the hope that beyond this life, there is even more, even better — in fact, an eternity of joy for those who have faith in God and live their lives in love! 

Los tres días antes del Domingo de la Pascua son muy instructivos. Nos hablan del compromiso a algo grande, de compartir nosotros con otros, del sacrificio que acompaña al amor, del tiempo precioso pero limitado que tenemos en esta tierra, de la esperanza de que más allá que esta vida haya aún más y mejor --- de hecho, ¡una eternidad de alegría por quienes tienen fe en Dios y viven la vida en amor!

Ahora que nos acercamos al final del tiempo santo de la Cuaresma, es tiempo en que todos los católicos se preparan profundamente para la conmemoración anual de la Iglesia de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección del Señor Jesús.

Since the establishment of Trenton Catholic Academy in Hamilton more than 15 years ago, the Diocese of Trenton has provided substantial support to make this Catholic educational experience available to students who live in and around the wider Trenton area.  However, the growing cost of providing this experience has consistently outpaced tuition and other revenue, requiring diocesan subsidy of more than $20 million over the last 12 years.

A partir de establecer a Trenton Catholic Academy en Hamilton hace 15 años, la Diócesis de Trenton ha provisto apoyo sustancial para hacer posible esta experiencia educacional a estudiantes de Trenton y sus alrededores. Sin embargo, el costo creciente de proveer esta experiencia ha ganado consistentemente a las matriculas y otros ingresos, haciendo necesario el apoyo diocesano financiero de más de $20 millones por los últimos 12 años. Ninguna otra escuela en la Diócesis de Trenton ha recibido apoyo semejante.

Overview and Streaming schedule for Holy Week and Easter This Holy Week and Easter, hundreds of thousands of Catholics in the Diocese of Trenton will take part in Masses and services either inside or outside their churches while observing pandemic precautions or at home via livestream.

La Parroquia Cristo Redentor en Mount Holly, que ha vivido menos participación y mayor desafío económico de por la década pasada, cerrará sus puertas y pasará por una supresión canónica.

Christ the Redeemer Parish in Mount Holly, which has experienced declining attendance and growing financial struggles over the last decade, will close its church and undergo canonical suppression, it was announced March 20 and 21. 

As the Holy Season of Lent draws to a close and Holy Week begins, it is time for all Catholics to prepare deeply for the Church’s annual commemoration of the Lord Jesus’ Passion, Death and Resurrection.

If it were not for the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, and her “yes” to God, the world would have never heard of Joseph, the “carpenter of Nazareth.” And, yet, this man of whom the Holy Scriptures say so very little is the Universal Patron of the Catholic Church.
