Pastor’s Corner
Dear Mary Star of the Sea Parishioners
I wish you all a holy Easter Season. We are most Blessed
to receive so many young children into their first Holy
Commuion during this season of joy. Let us pray for them
and their families that they will be true wittiness to the real
presence of Christ among us. Below is a wonderful writing
by a Church Father I hope you enjoy it. Have a Blessed
week.
Fr. Harrigan
Pastor
Saint Peter Chrysologus, bishop
Each of us is called to be both a sacrifice to God and his
priest
remains, always one and the same. Immolated, the victim
still lives: the priest who immolates cannot kill. Truly it is
an amazing sacrifice in which a body is offered without
being slain and blood is offered without being shed.
The Apostle says: I appeal to you by the mercy of God to
present your bodies as a living sacrifice. Brethren, this
sacrifice follows the pattern of Christ’s sacrifice by which
he gave his body as a living immolation for the life of the
world. He really made his body a living sacrifice, because,
though slain, he continues to live. In such a victim death
receives its ransom, but the victim remains alive. Death
itself suffers the punishment. This is why death for the
martyrs is actually a birth, and their end a beginning. Their
execution is the door to life, and those who were thought to
have been blotted out from the earth shine brilliantly in
heaven.
I appeal to you by the mercy of God. This appeal is made
by Paul, or rather, it is made by God through Paul, because
of God’s desire to be loved rather than feared, to be a
father rather than a Lord. God appeals to us in his mercy to
avoid having to punish us in his severity.
Paul says: I appeal to you by the mercy of God to present
your bodies as a sacrifice, living and holy. The prophet
said the same thing: Sacrifice and offering you did not
desire, but you have prepared a body for me. Each of us is
called to be both a sacrifice to God and his priest. Do not
forfeit what divine authority confers on you. Put on the

stretched on the cross as a symbol, not of how much I
suffered, but of my all-embracing love. I count it no less to
shed my blood: it is the price I have paid for your ransom.
Come, then, return to me and learn to know me as your
father, who repays good for evil, love for injury, and
boundless charity for piercing wounds.
Listen now to what the Apostle urges us to do. I appeal to
you, he says, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice.
By this exhortation of his, Paul has raised all men to
priestly status.
How marvellous is the priesthood of the Christian, for he is
both the victim that is offered on his own behalf, and the
priest who makes the offering. He does not need to go
beyond himself to seek what he is to immolate to God:
with himself and in himself he brings the sacrifice he is to
offer God for himself. The victim remains and the priest

Today’s Readings
First Reading — Barnabas reported
to the apostles how Saul had seen the
Lord on the way (Acts 9:26-31).
Psalm — I will praise you, Lord, in
the assembly of your people (Psalm
22).
Second Reading — This is God’s commandment: that we
may believe and love (1 John 3:18-24).
Gospel — I am the true vine; whoever remains in me will
bear much fruit (John 15:1-8).
Treasures from Tradition
Over time, the crisis of last illness and the way the faithful
met death changed. In earliest times, a sickbed vigil was
an occasion for the community to gather and strengthen
the dying person with assurances of love. A thousand
years ago, in part because of massive upheavals in society,
a new emphasis on individual repentance captured the
imagination of millions. Death was to be feared, because it
was about judgment. The delights of heaven’s banquet
dimmed, since most people saw God’s just judgment and
inevitable punishment intervening. If a community
gathered at all, it was not to express faith in the
Resurrection, but to seek forgiveness for those who were
powerless to help themselves. The dead couldn’t improve
their situation, but their loved ones, by expressing sorrow
for sin, could. Better yet, the clergy could, if they
intervened in a timely fashion, provide the absolution
needed for everyone to relax. Ministry to the sick shifted
away from a ministry of consolation toward a challenge to
repent before it was too late.
As the sense grew that most people died with their
work of repentance incomplete, the color black was
reintroduced to funerals. It was the old pagan way of
expressing despair. No wonder they call this time in
history the “Dark Ages.” Many layers have had to be
peeled away to reveal the deepest, most positive
expressions of our tradition of care for the dying.

Adults are responsible for reporting abuse: When any adult
has reason to suspect that a child is being or has been abused, he
or she has a moral (and often legal) responsibility to report
suspicions to civil authorities. Reporting suspected abuse takes
courage. Adults who take a stand for children and make the call
are often responsible for saving a child from terrible
torment. Learn more about how to identify and report suspected
abuse by reading chapter 9.8.1 of the Administrative Handbook
for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Go to: http://handbook.laarchdiocese.org/chapter-9/section-9-8/topic-9-8-1
Los adultos son responsables de reportar el abuso: Cuando
cualquier adulto en nuestra comunidad sospecha de que un
menor esté siendo o haya sido abusado, tiene la obligación
moral (y muchas veces también legal) de reportar su sospecha a
las autoridades civiles. Reportar una sospecha de abuso exige
valentía. Sin embargo, cuando un adulto toma esta decisión y
hace el reporte, con frecuencia salva a un menor de un tormento
terrible. Para saber más cómo identificar y reportar sospechas de
abuso, lea el capítulo 9.8.1 del manual administrativo de la
Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles.

Bearing Fruit
“Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and
truth.” John’s words come to us on this day when the
Gospel passage presents us with the great image of the vine
and the branches. Jesus uses the image as a warning to those
who have begun to distance themselves from the way of the
Lord. One of the ways this happens is when we love God
and others “in word or speech” instead of “in deed and
truth.” What does it mean for us to “remain in Christ”? In
an extension of the metaphor, the Lord gives us an example.
If we remain in him, we will bear much fruit. As the
branches, we draw strength from Christ who is the vine.
This strength enables us to bear fruit—to do the work of
true discipleship.
