At Our Parish

April 2020 My dear parish family, I love you. I miss you. I am praying for you. Amid the uncertainty of these challenging times we always have reason to hope. That hope is found in our Lord Jesus Christ Jesus died on the cross and then when all hope seemed lost, he rose from the dead! As we celebrate Easter, the Resurrection of our Lord, may our hearts be filled with hope, love and joy. Although we are not able to physically unite together, we can still unite our hearts together in prayer. I invite you to join me for Sunday Mass that will be posted on Facebook and YouTube every week. More information about this can be found on our website stcathchurch.org . Let us continue to pray for an end to covid-19, healing of those who have contracted it, protection of those who are vulnerable and on the front lines and the repose of the souls of those who have died from it. May Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life continue to bring us hope as we look for-ward to the day we can gather together again in church and ultimately gather together in heaven. Happy Easter! Alleluia! He is risen! Love and prayers, Fr. Pat

SEEDS OF FAITH

There is a brevity, a certain terseness, in the scripture readings for Easter Sunday. Peter’s speech in Acts is built of direct, pointed sentences. Paul’s letters are based on straightforward creed-like statements. Even the Gospel story only briefly recounts what will turn out to be one of the most remarkable events in human histo-ry—the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Advertising agents call these encapsulated points of information “bullet points.” Scripture scholars call them kerygmata, or “kernels” of our faith. Actually, “kernels” or “seeds” are good terms for these statements, since throughout the Easter season, we will hear in the Acts of the Apos-tles, the Letters of Paul, and the Gospel accounts of the days follow-ing the Resurrection exactly how these kerygmata began to flower, how they continued to grow through the life of the early church. May these Easter “seeds” of faith serve a similar purpose for us, too, so that the life of the Risen Christ will flourish in us and through our witness in the coming days. Copyright © J. S.

THE EASTER OCTAVE Sunday, April 5 - Sunday, April 12, 2020

Eastertime lasts fifty days: seven weeks of seven days (seven equals Biblical perfection) plus one day: perfection plus! Like an eight-day Jewish wedding, or a child who can’t bear to let go of Christ-mas, birthdays, and school vacation, the Church celebrates the Easter Octave: “the marriage of heaven and earth,” as the Vigil calls Jesus’ resurrection; our new members’ baptismal rebirth; our renewal of baptismal vows; our hearts’ “divine vacation” (Latin vacare, “to be empty”), newfound time and space for love of God and neighbor. Make home an Easter garden! Adorn the dining table with a pillar can-dle (your “paschal candle”), a bowl full of water (ideally, from the parish’s baptismal font), a vase of flowers or bowl of sprouting grain with Easter eggs. Even non-singers can handle the three-fold Gos-pel Alleluia! Let that be your grace before meals, perhaps with a prayer recalling Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35): “Be known to us, Risen Lord Jesus, as you were to the first disciples, in your word, in the break-ing of bread, and in everyone we meet.” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

My Baptismal Vows

This Easter season, spend some time each week pondering the questions below to discern how your ordinary world might better reflect the Baptismal promises you renewed on Easter Sunday. WEEK ONE: DO YOU RENOUNCE SATAN? Where does Satan work on your life and your heart? Where does temptation meet you? Food? Social media? Anger? What can you do to break the cycle and reject Satan’s hold?

LA PRIMACÍA DEL DOMINGO ¿Por qué la Iglesia no celebra la memoria de los santos en domingo? Porque el domingo es el día en que resucitó el Señor; es el primer día de la semana, es el día en que los primeros cristianos, des-de la tarde del sábado, comenzaron a celebrar la Eucaristía. La celebración del domingo es la inmer-sión en el “octavo día”, es decir, en el tiempo de Dios. Es el día que corona la semana en su más be-llo esplendor: la resurrección del Señor. Por tal motivo “se considera el domingo como el día festivo primordial”. La Constitución sobre la Sagrada Liturgia nos recuerda que el domingo es “la fiesta primordial que debe presentarse e inculcarse a los fieles” y las Normas Generales para el Calenda-rio y el Año Litúrgico reafirman su importancia al estipular que, dada la importancia del domingo, sólo una solemnidad o fiesta pueden reemplazar su celebración. Cuando se habla de reemplazar su celebración, quiere decir, el uso de lecturas y oraciones propias que el Misal Romano contiene para la celebración de dicha fiesta. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SEMILLAS DE FE Hay una brevedad, una cierta concisión en las lectu-ras del Domingo de Pascua. El discurso de Pedro en He-chos está construido con frases directas y al punto. Las cartas de Pablo se basan en declaraciones directas como credos. Hasta el relato del Evangelio sólo narra breve-mente lo que resultará ser uno de los sucesos más nota-bles de la historia humana –la Resurrección de Jesús de entre los muertos. Los agentes publicitarios llaman a es-tos resúmenes “puntos para destacar”. Los biblistas los llaman kerigma o las “semillas” de nuestra fe. En reali-dad, “semillas” o granos son buenos términos para estas afirmaciones, puesto que durante todo el tiempo de Pas-cua, oiremos en los Hechos de los Apóstoles, en las car-tas de Pablo y en los relatos del Evangelio sobre los días que siguieron a la Resurrección, exactamente cómo ese kerigma comienza a florecer, cómo continúa creciendo en la vida de la nueva Iglesia. Que estas “semillas” pas-cuales de fe sirvan un propósito similar para nosotros también, para que la vida de Cristo Resucitado florezca en nosotros y mediante nuestro testimonio en los días que siguen.
