Alleluia!
The lord
is
risen!
Lent has now passed and our soul searching is ended. The
dark somber days of lent are over. We have acknowledged our
sinfulness and we appreciate more than ever the mercy and love
which flow from the cross of Jesus Christ. We appreciate his
passionate love for us and his forgiveness of our sins. We are
truly contrite. Now, however, is the time to move forward. Now is
the time for Easter joy. Now is the time for all to celebrate the
victory of Christ over sin and death. His victory is our victory. His
rising from the dead is our rising from the dead.
The Church tells us that “the fifty days from the Sunday of the
Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one great Sunday. These are the days, above all others,
in which the Alleluia is sung.” These are days of light and joy as
the paschal candle burns at all our masses. This great candle is a
reminder that the risen Lord is truly present in our celebrations
and that he is in our midst. We are now called to live the resurrected life and to become a resurrection people. We now face the
dark forces at work in our world with confidence and optimism.
We know that in the end Jesus Christ will conquer and prevail.
These next fifty days will lead us to Pentecost, the birthday of
the Church. The Holy Spirit has come upon the Church and overshadows her as he did with Mary. He makes the Church vivifying—life giving. The Spirit brings us comfort and consolation. He
is the sanctifier who works to make us holy. The Holy Spirit helps
the Church to evangelize and grow. We will be reading much
about the Holy Spirit in the Acts of the Apostles.
My dear people let us be moved by this
powerful Easter Season to be more
authentic Christians and to spread with
divine energy the “Good News” of
Jesus Christ. Let us share the great gift
of the risen Christ with all.
Alleluia! Happy Easter! Fr. Gordy, Pastor

Easter Sunday GOSPEL John 20:1-9
SCRIPTURE
“They have taken the Lord
READINGS
from the tomb, and we
don’t know where they put
him.”
On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the
tomb early in the morning, while it
was still dark, and saw the stone
removed from the tomb. So she
ran and went to Simon Peter and
to the other disciple whom Jesus
loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we
don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came
to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple
ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but
did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths
there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not
with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate
place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one
who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and
believed. For they did not yet understand the
Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.
Prayer: God of joy and new Life, give us during this
holy season of Easter a renewed commitment to
live the Gospel as Jesus taught us, to witness to
his Presence by our daily good works, and to grow
in our love for the gift of his continued Presence in
the Holy Eucharist. We ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen.

Sacred Heart thanks the Mud Ministry
members for the beautiful lilies blooming in our yard!
Mud Ministry News:
Clean, tidy, and filled with coffee, the Mud Ministry’s enthusiasm is seldom
threatened. Be it the ever present weeds, leaves that never seem to stop falling, or mechanical
difficulties, none have failed to stop our dedication on a Saturday morning. For example, Willie has
always been our expert in mowing the lawn and starting up the McLayne mower. But one Saturday morning when he was not present, it was left to George, Joe, and coffee connoisseur, Del, to
perform the task. Well, for all you non-grass cutters, the McLayne mower is no ordinary mower.
On our particular machine there are two levers to manipulate before you pull the cord. Reading
the instructions was of no great help to us. Next, on the “I & O switch,” George and I thought
the “O” meant “on.” Del, knowing how to turn on his coffee maker, told us, no, that meant “off.”
Always we do things in the Mud Ministry by collaboration. Three heads are better than one and
eventually we got our mower started and the grass cut. Hey! There wasn’t a prettier sight that
day than the freshly mown lawn. Our recollections of Mud Ministry over the past five years will
always remain the same. For the most part, it has been a collective effort. The solutions to
problems are macro-embodied by the whole rather than the one. The challenges welcomed. The
opportunity appreciated. And the service a blessing. We arrive each Saturday morning, clean
and tidy, and soon to be filled with coffee. We depart grateful to be part of a Ministry
dedicated to the upkeep of our church gardens.

My name is Jennifer Tseu, Director of International Programs.
With Ms. Stephanie Frank, Multilingual Specialist, our objectives are to
promote cultural awareness, community service—Noblesse Oblige, and
global citizenship. As part of this program, this summer Maryknoll will be
hosting 50 - 100 Chinese students, ages 11 to 17, at our Maryknoll
Advantage Summer Camp 2015. We are in need of host families to share aloha with
our international friends while at camp. Families will receive $45 per day, per student,
and must be confirmed by April 7, 2015.
Time frame: : Sunday, July 19, to Sunday, August 2 (2 weeks)
An informative and interactive orientation for host families will
be held on Sunday, June 28, 2015. Time /venue TBD.
About the Program: The summer schedule for our
guests from China is very structured with ESL classes and cultural
activities [7 a.m.—5 p.m.] during the week.
On weekends, cultural excursions will take place.
Primary Host Family Duties: Host families provide a bed, daily breakfast and dinner,
and ensure transport to and from Maryknoll daily.
If you are interested in hosting a student, either for summer 2015 or in the future, or
would like more information, please contact Multilingual Specialist, Ms. Stephanie Frank,
at [email protected] or (808) 952-7169.
Pope Francis: Pray for our persecuted
brothers in Christ. “We think too of our
brothers and sisters who are persecuted
because they are Christians,” he said, “the
martyrs of our own time. They refuse to
deny Jesus & they endure insult and injury with dignity. They follow Him on His way.” Palm Sunday, 2015
A Special prayer of
gratitude for our Military
serving overseas. Let us
ask St. Michael to protect
them. God Speed!
