PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS

Easter Prayer of Thanksgiving

Good and gracious heavenly Father, we come before you on this Easter Sunday with full and grateful hearts for the gift of the Paschal Mystery that you showed us

in the life, death, and resurrection of your Son, our brother by adoption, Jesus Christ.

Bless us and all those who profess belief in your

saving love. Bless also those who have yet to profess belief

in you. You are God for all.

We ask all this in Christ's name.

Amen.

Easter Sunday

Alleluia! The exclamation rings out across the land, and we who are disciples of Jesus Christ pause to reflect on the reality that he rose from the grave and, in turn, conquered death. In today's colleges and universities, in pulpits of

every denomination, and in books and journals, there are those who say it is unimportant whether or not he really rose from the dead. They say that the facts do not impact the moral of the story. Of course, two thousand years of

Christianity give evidence that they are incorrect. What the faithful of many generations have experienced and given testimony to is not something built on an idea. It is not a

philosophy or a self-help psychology.

The church is a direct result of real events in the course of human history. Without those real events, we simply follow a man who showed us a different way to live. Instead, we follow a God who emptied himself into a human form, suf-fered the pain of torture and death at the hands of those he had created, and then shattered the chains of death so that we in our human form may follow suit. Today, humanity is

redeemed. It is time to face the facts!

Saint of the Week ~ Our Sunday Visitor Online

Bernadette, Virgin

The oldest child of a family living in extreme poverty in Lourdes, France, Bernadette was born in January, 1844. Never healthy in her lifetime, she suffered asthma and other maladies during her childhood that stunted her growth and kept her from attending school. The result, and Bernadette’s inability to read, meant that she could not re-ceive her First Communion until she was about fourteen. It was at about this time that Bernadette experienced her vi-sions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. These visions continued for some time, and in the end, many people believed be-cause of her. The city of Lourdes remains a holy place and a pilgrimage destination for many today. All of us have been given gifts by God, even those who are suffering. We are meant to use these gifts for the benefit of those around us.

Question of the Week ~Our Sunday Visitor Online

Question for Children: What sacrifices do you make for

those whom you love? Question for Youth: Even the disciples had a hard time un-

derstanding Jesus’ Resurrection – it is that surprising. What does Resurrection mean to you? What does Easter mean to you? Question for Adults: In what ways has God called you to die in Christ? How is this expressed in your own life?
