Merici Chapel...Easter is not chocolate bunnies,
jelly beans or marshmallow chicks — it is the gift
of eternal life given to us by Jesus by His sacrifice
on Good Friday & His Resurrection on Easter
Sunday. Try & stop by Merici Chapel on the way
to celebrate Easter & say “I love you & thank you,
Jesus, for your love to me.”
St. Charles Borromeo Church April 5, 2015
A priest is expected to have his “funeral
plan” on file with the Diocese. Planning your
funeral is a sobering experience. What do you want
to say? How would you like to be remembered?
Planning your funeral also reminds you that death is
inevitable. The Lenten display in our church sanctuary startled us
with the Latin phrase “memento mori,” in English, “remember,
you must die.” Those who study human behavior note that a great
number of people will not even consider writing a will; they do not
want to be reminded that death is certain to come. Our celebration of Easter is a powerful reminder that
physical death must come—but it is not the end of the story!
For Christian people, we are guaranteed the gift of eternal life—
if our earthly life has been lived in Christ.
St John’s Gospel states forthrightly: “whoever believes in
Him may not die, but may have eternal life,”
St Matthew clarifies the point; Jesus has saved us, but we
must accept that salvation. Those who live a Christ-like life
(“what you do for the least among you, you do for me”) will hear
the words “well done, good and faithful servant! If it makes no
difference how we live our lives, then what did Jesus save us from? The agony of Jesus on Good Friday reminds us that the choices we
make in this life have eternal consequences.
This is my thirty-ninth year as a priest. Since I came to
St Charles thirty-two years ago, I have attended at least two
hundred wakes per year (our annual average of funerals).
That works out to almost 6,500 parishioners who have died. That
number of living people would fill our church about ten times over.
Everyone deserves a decent funeral. Funeral homilies
often place the deceased in heaven. But perhaps we err if we
imply that. We have all known some truly holy and sincerely
virtuous people. If they are not with the saints in heaven, we would wonder: who is? But what of those others whose commitment to
Christ is very limited, or somewhat casual, or practically
non-existent? We can hear the Rich Man’s words in the Gospel:
“Send someone to them from the dead! Then they would believe!”
We have such a Messenger: He experienced death and then rose to
eternal life—and he invites us to share in that life with him.
Lent has offered us forty days to ponder the big questions
and to re-commit ourselves to a Christ-like way of life. Now
Eastertime will offer us fifty days to celebrate what Jesus has done
for us.
Listen to the Gospel stories describing events after the Resurrection. When those who had been closest to the Lord
encounter Him after He rose from the dead, they are at first unable
to recognize Him. Only after He speaks, only after they ponder
His new existence do they come to believe. The Apostles and
Disciples, previously timid and fearful, became zealous and
courageous: those who experienced the Risen Christ then went out
and changed the world
Our experience with the Risen Christ—in our weekly
worship, in the Scriptures, in the Sacraments, in our encounters
with one another—should move us to “change our world.”
Perhaps not as dramatically as we read in the Acts of the Apostles, but certainly within our families, where we work, and in our
associations with others.
Remember the old question? “If you were on trial for
being a follower of Jesus Christ, would there be enough evidence
in your life to convict you?”
LIFE IS CHANGED, NOT ENDED Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord
Mary Good

GUIDE BOOK & DIRECTORY
ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY
We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book &
Directory for the Parish. This book will be the Who, What,
Where, When, Why and How of our Congregation. The book
is being provided at no cost to our Church, including the
mailing to each family, and again is being subsidized by
local businesses that advertise in it. If you own or manage
a business and would like to find out about advertising in
our book, please call the Parish Office (440)884-3030.
Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show that
92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide Book &
Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser. It "will pay" to
advertise in our new Guide Book & Directory.
Just a reminder… Orders are due to the School or Parish Office
by Wednesday, April 8th. Call Jackie at (216)650-7952 if you

“NO COST” ANNULMENTS
Older folks remember that once a couple married in
the Catholic Church and lived together, the marital bond was in
place ''till death we do part." In the last forty years, the Church
has come to recognize that some marriages were just "not
right" from the beginning. When a marriage breaks up and
the civil divorce is final, marriages can be considered for a
church annulment.
Unfortunately, there are lots of rumors and poor
information when it comes to annulments: "it takes years"
or “thousands of dollars" are required. In truth, most cases are
decided within a year and the suggested marriage tribunal fee
was $450; and that fee could be waived for those in
financial difficulty. That tribunal fee did not "buy an
annulment" but it did help to pay for tribunal salaries and
expenses.
On May 30th, 2014, Bishop Lennon announced a
new policy for the Diocese of Cleveland: all annulment
cases will now be accepted and processed free of any charge.
The Diocese of Cleveland will fully subsidize the work of the
diocesan marriage tribunal. This new policy is effective
immediately.
The form of Catholic marriage is free consent given
before a priest/deacon and two witnesses. For those who
require an annulment from a former marriage, please
contact the priest/deacon of your choice and he will help you
prepare and file your case-now free of charge!
