Easter is the day when all things are tum-bled over like the colored eggs that children roll in the grass. The stone from the tomb is rolled away. Christ, the Lamb of God, redeems the sheep. The Prince of life, who died, now lives for-ever. Death is swallowed up by the grave and Life itself comes forth from the tomb. As the psalmist writes: "The stone the builders rejected has be-come the cornerstone. By the LORD has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes" (Ps 118:22-23). We have grown up with the notion of res-urrection. The rising of Christ has been part of our religious upbringing. It is so much a part of our culture that the mystery of this great event may escape us. But imagine Mary Magdalene coming to the tomb early in the morning and find-ing the body of Jesus gone. Then Peter and the other disciple run to the tomb after she brings them the news. The Gospel makes it clear that they did not understand the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead. They must have felt their world shaken apart by this great mystery! And here we are, two thousand years later, calmly proclaiming, "He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day." This in-credible mystery, this miraculous event, this sav-ing action that we celebrate on this feast is the most incredible thing to happen since the foun-dation of the world. The Lord has been raised from the tomb and he lives in our midst. Just as the Resurrection turned over the lives of the dis-ciples and changed them forever, so too does the rising of Christ from the dead make a difference in our lives. Because he lives we can be free from the power of sin. The living Christ gives us the Spirit that empowers us to act in his name and to live like him, filled with life and love St. Mary Wildcat Derby: Save the Date for our “Night at the Races”...Saturday, April 20, 2013.

Confirmation Appreciation: We express our deepest gratitude to Bishop Quinn, Father Cleaton and the entire Parish Community of St. Mary for your assistance and lov-ing support of us in our preparation and celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation! Special thanks to the Holy Name Society for the keepsake Bibles. We promise you a remembrance in our prayers as we live out our lives as Confirmed Catholics!
