WHAT DO YOU KNOW? “What do you know?” is the question linking all three readings today. Imagine the shock waves that shot through the city of Jerusalem that first Easter morning. Jesus’ body was missing! By the time Peter spoke the words found in today’s first reading, fifty days had passed, so he began by saying, in effect, “I take it you know what has been re-ported all over Judea about Jesus of Nazareth.” Of course they knew by then, but in today’s Gospel we are taken back to the first day. We meet Mary Magdalene exclaiming, “We don’t know where they put him!” What do we know? In the second reading Paul asks, “Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?” Do we know the power of our own faith? Do we know the effect we can have on others? Copyright © J. S.

CHRIST HAS RISEN Where is your sting, O death? Where is your victory, O hell? Christ has risen, and you are over-thrown. Christ has risen, and the demons have fallen. Christ has risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ has risen, and life reigns. Christ has risen, and not one dead rests in the grave. For Christ having risen from the dead became the first-fruits of them that slept. To him be glory and majesty to ages of ages. Amen. —Byzantine Pentekostarion

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Lenten journey is now complete, its mission of renewal and preparation to receive new life fulfilled. The call to worship the Risen Lord has been received, and we gather to experience together the consoling presence of Christ in word and sacrament. We are at our best today, crowded and cramped to be sure, but the fullest sign of who were are meant to be. Christ has claimed us in the waters of baptism, we have acquired wonderful companions, and together we can accomplish great things. This is the day for rekindling the old flames of baptismal commitment, so we light the paschal candle, and by its light we make yet again the ancient promises to reject evil’s grip and empty promises. Today we do not recite the Creed, but respond with one voice to age-old questions. New life has to be nurtured, both the life of the newly baptized and the renewed life of those who have passed through Lent’s refining prayer, fasting, and giving alms. At any Mass during the next fifty days, you may be surprised by grace and splashed by water! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Godzina Miłosierdzia - odprawiana o godzinie 3:00pm - upamiętnia konanie Jezusa na krzyżu za grzechy całej ludzkości. Jest ona wezwaniem do wdzięcznego zwrócenia swych myśli i serca w stronę Boga - Człowieka, który ofiarował się i umarł za nasze niewierności. Święta Siostra Faustyna została poproszona przez samego Jezusa, aby ta Godzina w szczególny sposób czczona była na ziemi. "O trzeciej godzinie błagaj Mojego Miłosierdzia, przede wszystkim dla grzeszników i choć przez krótki moment zagłębiaj się w Mojej męce, w Moim opuszczeniu i w chwili konania. Jest to wielka godzina dla świata całego". (Z dzienniczka S. Faustyny)

Obchodzimy dziś największą uroczystość naszej wiary. To od niej bierze początek i znajduje swoje dopełnienie nasza wiara. Uroczystość Zmartwychwstania Pańskiego jest centrum roku liturgicznego, jego punktem kulminacyjnym, źródłem i szczytem tego, co celebrujemy w ciągu całego roku. Niech ta myśl szczególnie nam towarzyszy, gdy będziemy się spotykać w gronie rodzinnym czy wśród przyjaciół. Niech Zmartwychwstały Chrystus napełni nas swoją mocą i pokojem, a radość płynąca z doświadczenia tego, że zostaliśmy odkupieni, niech towarzyszy wszystkim naszym działaniom. Niech nasze życie będzie nieustannym świadectwem dawanym Temu, który w nas pokonuje wszelkie zło i grzech i prowadzi nas do zwycięstwa. Wszystkim naszym parafianom i osobom przebywającym tu gościnnie życzymy pogodnego i pełnego Bożego błogosławieństwa przeżywania nie tylko tych świątecznych dni, lecz całego okresu paschalnego, który wielkanocną radość rozciąga na 50 dni – aż do uroczystości Zesłania Ducha Świętego.

Drodzy Parafianie, Życzymy Wam aby te Święta Wielkanocne były wypełnione pokojem i radością, które niesie Zmartwychwstały Chrystus. Niech Dobry Bóg otoczy Was swoją

opieką i błogosławieństwem. Szczęść Boże! Wesołych Świąt!
