By his miraculous entry through closed doors Christ proved to his

disciples that by nature he was God and also that he was none other

than their former companion. By showing them his side and the

marks of the nails, he convinced them beyond a doubt that he had

raised the temple his body, the very body that had hung upon the

cross (cf Jn 2:19). He had destroyed death’s power over the flesh,

for as God, he was life itself…

We have only to recall Christ's transfiguration on the mountain in

the presence of his holy disciples (Mt 17:1f.), to realize that mortal

eyes could not have endured the glory of his sacred body had he

chosen to reveal it before ascending to the Father… And so, before

allowing the glory that belonged to it by every right to transfigure the

temple of his body, our Lord Jesus Christ in his wisdom appeared to

his disciples in the form that they had known.

Life and Dignity Sunday Set for Today, April 14-15th, 2018

Today is life and Dignity Sunday in the Diocese of

Winona. It is a day that Bishop Quinn has provided

for parishes to discuss our Catholic responsibility of

being engaged citizens who are forces of good in

our communities. You are invited and have the

opportunity to register for the statewide Minnesota

Network, which is a faithful, compassionate, moral

voice for life, dignity, and justice in our state. If you

registered, thank you! We encourage you to take

advantage of the many advocacy resources and

Catholic Social Teaching tools that the network

provides, and we hope that you will be diligent in

responding to the occasional e-mails that the

network will send asking you to help us “take action”

on an important social or public policy issue. If you

missed signing up today, you can still register online

at MCC’s website: www.mncatholic.org. MCC is the

public policy voice for the six Minnesota Catholic

dioceses.

The network is completely free and it is part of the

social ministry of the Catholic Church in Minnesota.

The bishops of Minnesota established the

Minnesota Catholic Conference (MCC) Catholic

Advocacy Network to develop a strong,

this important effort to build a diocesan and

statewide community of Catholics who stand

together as a positive force for good in Minnesota.

St. Rummage Sale

St. Augustine’s CCW is having their annual rummage sale on April 16 (set-up), 17(8:00-5:30), and the 18 (8:00 to 12:00 noon-bag day).

He wished them to believe that he had risen from the dead in

the very body that he had received from the blessed Virgin,

and in which he had suffered crucifixion and death, as the

Scriptures had foretold…

When Christ greeted his holy disciples with the words: “Peace

be with you,” by peace he meant himself, for Christ's

presence always brings tranquility of soul. This is the grace

Saint Paul desired for believers when he wrote: The ''peace of

Christ, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts

and minds.” (Phil 4:7) The peace of Christ which passes all

understanding, that Saint Paul wrote about, is in fact the Spirit

of Christ, who fills all those who share in him with every

blessing.
