EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD REMEMBERING BAPTISM Each year we celebrate a ritual that the Church prescribes for use specifically on Easter Sunday. At Masses on Easter we are called to renew our baptismal promises. We once again renounce Satan and profess our belief in God, as well as acknowledge all the wonderful works that God has done throughout salvation history. We do so at this central point of the liturgical year for one major reason. Once a year, after the penitential practices of Lent, we remember that at the moment of our baptism, we were configured to Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose to save the world from the power of sin. This remembrance of our baptism is much more than the kind of remembering we do when we flip through a family photo album or review digital pictures of a recent vacation or family event. The remembrance we celebrate today through the renewal of baptismal promises reminds us that we are commissioned to be the risen Christ for others here and now. BECOMING THE RISEN CHRIST Through the renewal of our baptismal promises we remember that in baptism we were joined to Christ’s death and resurrection. What we can easily forget is that in baptism we were also joined to the life that Christ lived while on earth. We need not look too far to discover that the Lord Jesus came to call sinners to himself in order to share with them the wonderful gifts of forgiveness and salvation. Through our own baptism, we are called to imitate Christ. We are to let people know that, in and through Jesus Christ, true forgiveness and reconciliation are possible. As we lift heart and voice, singing the words of today’s responsorial psalm, let us rejoice and be glad that in our baptism we have become the risen Christ for the world.

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD
REMEMBERING BAPTISM
Each year we celebrate a ritual that the Church prescribes for use specifically on Easter Sunday. At Masses on Easter we are called to renew our baptismal promises. We once again renounce Satan and profess our belief in God, as well as acknowledge all the wonderful works that God has done throughout salvation history. We do so at this central point of the liturgical year for one major reason. Once a year, after the penitential practices of Lent, we remember that at the moment of our baptism, we were configured to Jesus Christ, who lived, died, and rose to save the world from the power of sin. This remembrance of our baptism is much more than the kind of remembering we do when we flip through a family photo album or review digital pictures of a recent vacation or family event. The remembrance we celebrate today through the renewal of baptismal promises reminds us that we are commissioned to be the risen Christ for others here and now.
BECOMING THE RISEN CHRIST
Through the renewal of our baptismal promises we remember that in baptism we were joined to Christ’s death and resurrection. What we can easily forget is that in baptism we were also joined to the life that Christ lived while on earth. We need not look too far to discover that the Lord Jesus came to call sinners to himself in order to share with them the wonderful gifts of forgiveness and salvation. Through our own baptism, we are called to imitate Christ. We are to let people know that, in and through Jesus Christ, true forgiveness and reconciliation are possible. As we lift heart and voice, singing the words of today’s responsorial psalm, let us rejoice and be glad that in our baptism we have become the risen Christ for the world. Today’s Readings: Acts 10:34a, 37–43; Psalm 118:1–2, 16–17, 22–23; Colossians 3:1–4 or 1 Corinthians 5:6b–8; John 20:1–9 or Matthew 28:1–10 Copyright © 2007, World Library Publications.

Following the guidelines of the Diocese of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, the Parish School of Religion will be
dismissed for a Wellness Break until April 24. The diocese will determine, on that date, whether or not there is
any need to suspend our educational programs longer. We will try to make up for those Sundays at a later date in
order to continue religious education for the children preparing for First Communion and Confirmation. If you
have any questions, please call Elva Weber 417-296-2725 or Father Pat at 417-682-2492.
