———CALENDAR OF THE WEEK——— !!!

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

Happy Second Sunday of Easter! The Church

puts so much time, effort, and emphasis on Lent (and

rightly so) that sometimes we can forget that Easter, that

is, the Easter Season, is the longest season of the Church

year, and is meant to be a celebratory season. Easter goes

for eight weeks, Lent for merely six and a half. So how

are you going to celebrate? I'm serious. If Lent calls on us

to do works of charity to prepare for Easter, how will we

actually celebrate what Easter is, namely our new life in

Christ? I raise that question because it is imperative to

Christianity itself. If the Church is mainly about penance-

-focused mainly on what's wrong with the world, who

would ever want to join? But since the Church is primari-

ly and proportionally more about what's right with the

world, and God's salvific plans for all of creation, our cel-

ebration of this should send a message that we are truly

Gospel people, that is, people of the Good News.

We celebrate a huge theme of that Good News today

as we celebrate Mercy Sunday, a feast begun by Pope St.

John Paul II, on the Sunday after Easter. I invite you to an

hour-long celebration of prayer and praise for God's mercy

beginning at 2:30 at St. Ambrose this Sunday (April 8),

with a reception to follow. We will pray the Divine Mer-

cy Chaplet precisely at 3pm, commemorating the hour of

Jesus' life-giving death, and have time for quiet meditation

and prayer as well. Please come. It will be beautiful, for

nothing in this world is as beautiful as the love of God,

who is Mercy, poured out for us, which is indeed cause for

celebration!

Fr. Michael

Safe Environment Training for Adults The Diocese of Syracuse is committed to preventing child

sexual abuse before it occurs. For this reason, and because

the Diocese adheres to the United States Conference of

Catholic Bishops Charter for the Protection of Children

and Young People, the Diocese mandates that all clergy, all

members of religious orders, all parish and diocesan em-

ployees (even those who do not come into contact with chil-

dren) and all volunteers who are in contact with children,

young people and/or vulnerable adults undergo Safe Envi-

ronment Training within 60 days of their start date. To learn

more, visit our website: http://bit.ly/2Bd2Pbm

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE from

the Office of Family Life Education (A Hope

Appeal Agency)

In today’s gospel Jesus teaches, “Blessed are

those who have not seen and believe.” Accepting someone

as they are, without demanding they prove themselves or

meet our expectations, creates a rich relationship. Without

acceptance, a home is only a house and a family is just a

group of housemates.
