This weekend, in place of the Masses, the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist will be in Exposition on the Altar for your personal prayers; at 5PM Saturday evening, all Sunday morning, and 5PM Sunday evening.

Your Priests will be celebrating all Masses with your intentions, both weekdays and weekends. There is no such thing as a "private Mass". But these are Masses without a congregation. Corpus Christi Mass on YouTube

You can watch Fr. Tomaz on YouTube celebrating Mass in English for everyone to be able to watch from

the comfort of your homes or wherever you are. The Mass will be available from 10 AM onward every Sunday. Please go on YouTube and type in tgomide to be able to watch it. Tell all your friends and family about it so they too can watch.

STEWARDSHIP CORNER Sharing Time, Talent and Treasure

The disciples on the road to Emmaus walked and talked with Jesus all day long, but it was not until they offered Him hospitality and He blessed and broke the bread that they recognized Him. Simple acts of loving kindness still reveal the presence of God in our midst (Our Sunday Visitor, ibid., page 9).

Because of the virus, no public Masses have been celebrated in any Church for 5 weekends, including the big Easter Sunday. Nevertheless, your incredibly generous hearts have sent in a total of $61,458 during these extremely difficult days! Thank you for your great sacrificial love for our beloved Parish of Corpus Christi.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 15, 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are pleased to announce the creation of the Corpus Christi “Continuing the Educational Mission” Scholarship award. Even though our beloved parish school has closed, the mission of educating the young people of our parish continues. It is in this spirit that the scholarship award has been established. A committee of educators from grammar school, middle school, high school and college educators as well as members from the financial community was formed and worked on this program for a number of months and developed this scholarship. Two young people from our parish, will each be awarded a $5,000 scholarship toward their education. The scholarship award will be given to a student who currently attends or will be attending a local Catholic High School in September 2020 and to a matriculated college student carrying a course load of a minimum 12 credits/semester who currently attends or will be attending, full time, a 2-4 year college or university in September 2020. The scholarship will be paid directly to the school, college or university in two equal payments, one half for the fall semester and the second half for the spring semester. The funding for these scholarships will come directly from the investment income earned from the proceeds of the sale of the Searing Avenue properties and not from any weekly or special parish collections. The announcement of the scholarship recipients will be made on or about June 14th. The scholarship is for one year.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not on my petition, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

Third Sunday of Easter

First Reading – Acts of the Apostles 2:14, 22-33 • As we practice Christian stewardship as a way of life, we find great joy in following our risen Lord. Psalm 16:1-2, 5, 7-11 • As stewards striving to draw closer to God, we find great joy — joy that cannot be found in seeking the material possessions of this world. Second Reading – 1 Peter 1:17-21 • God’s gift of His Son is infinitely more precious than gold or silver, symbols of perishable worldly possessions. Gospel – Luke 24:13-35 • Jesus’ walk with the disciples to Emmaus shows us the way to our own discipleship through reading Scripture and celebrating His Eucharistic feast.

Español III DOMINGO DE PASCUA

En el Evangelio de hoy, Lucas cuéntanos la maravillosa história de los discípulos de Emaus. Todo succedió en el domingo de la resurrection, el primer dia de la semana. Los dos discípulos de Jesus caminan por la tarde en dirección al Pueblo de Emaus, tristes y desencantados. Los discípulos habian puesto tanta esperança en Jesús. Es verdade que algunas mujeres y discípulos habian estado en la tumba y la encontraron vacia, pero a Jesús nadie lo habia visto. Los dos discípulos volvian a su Pueblo a seguir con la rutina de cada día. Jesús obras portentosas, pero como todos los profetas había sido un gran profeta acreditado por Dios, con anteriores él estaba muerto. Les quedaba claro que no era él Mesías. Y mientras platicaban los dos, un peregrino se une a ellos, y los dos le cuentan todo lo que había passado en Jerusalén. No reconocen a Jesús, que les explica todo lo que los profetas habian profetizado sobre el Mesías. Solamente lo reconocen al partir del pan durante la cena. Y ellos vuelven a Jerusalén para contar a los otros discípulos lo que había passado, y como ellos habian visto a Jesús. Así pues, se había cumplido lo anunciado por Jesús: su resurrection. Es en el compartir de la Palavra y de la Eucaristía que encontramos la persona de Jesús.

La primera lectura de este Domingo se toma del discurso de Pedro el día de Pentecostés y es el protótipo del primer anuncio que los apóstoles proclamaban ate los judíos, y ante todos los hombres. Consistía en proponer al mundo la muerte en la cruz y la Resurreción de Jesús de Nazaret como el acontecimento más importante de la historia de la salvación. Pedro, en su paredicación directa al pueblo, no utiliza un linguaje diplomático, sino claro e incisivo. Esa predicación de Pedro es la formula en la que va fundamentarse toda la catequesis de la Iglesia primitiva y es todavia la directiva de todo el anuncio de la fé Cristiana: proclamar al mundo la muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo.

Señor, pedimos tu protección para todos nosotros. En este tiempo de tanta ansiedad, llena nuestros corazones con tu amor, con tu paz. Sálvanos del

virus y haz que vuelva a brillar en el mundo todo la tranquilidad y la fe en tu misericordia.

Português III DOMINGO DA PÁSCOA

Evangelho Segundo São Lucas

No dia da ressurreição de Jesus, dois discípulos voltavam para a aldeia de Emaús tristes e decepcionados. Haviam posto muitas esperanças em Jesus, como tantas outras pessoas. Mas tudo se acabara. Jesus tinha sido crucificado, fazendo com que os discípulos se enchessem de tristeza e de desânimo. Era tempo de voltar à vida normal. Tudo se acabara. Os dois discípulos caminham para a aldeia de Emaús e no caminho um homem estranho une-se a eles. Eles comentavam estre si os últimos acontecimentos que tinham sucedido em Jerusalém, isto é, a condenação e crucifixão de Jesus. Comentam com o desconhecido sobre tudo isso e demonstram a sua frustração: “Nós esperávamos que fosse Ele quem havia de libertar Israel. Mas afinal, é já o terceiro dia depois que isto aconteceu”. Explicam ao desconhecido como algumas mulheres e como alguns dos discípulos foram al sepulcro e encontraram o sepulcro vazio. Mas a Jesus, não O viram. O desconhecido explica aos dois tudo o que os profetas tinham anunciado sobre o Messias. Somente na hora do jantar é que o desconhecido se dá a conhecer no partir do pão. Só então eles reconhecem na pessoa do desconhecido o Mestre, Jesus ressuscitado. É na Eucaristia e na Palavra de Deus que nós encontramos a presença de Jesus. O desânimo e a tristeza dá lugar a alegria de testemunhar o Senhor Ressuscitado. Jesus vive, e é no compartir do pão e da sua Palavra que O encontramos na nossa vida.

Vós destes a Jesus a morte, cravando-O na cruz pela mão de gente perversa. Mas Deus

ressuscitou-O, livrando-O dos laços da morte.

No dia de Pentecostes, Pedro, de pé, com os onze Apóstolos, proclama ao povo a ressurreição de Jesus. É a primeira pregação de Pedro. Isso sucedeu no dia de Pentecostes, quando os discípulos deixaram de ter medo e começaram a proclamar a ressurreição do Senhor. Pedro viu Jesus ressuscitado e agora, depois de receber o Espírito Santo, ele assume a liderança da Igreja primitiva. Usando o Salmo 15, Pedro apresenta Jesus como o messias prometido, aquele que foi anunciado ao rei David e proclama a vitória de Jesus sobre a morte.
