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.

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. www.usccb.org April 5 Easter Sunday Acts 10:34a, 37-43/Col 3:1-4 or 1 Cor 5:6b-8/ Jn 20:1-9 or Mk 16:1-7 or Lk 24:13-35 Ps 118:1-2,16-17,22-23 April 6 Mon within the *Octave of Easter Acts 2:14, 22-33 Ps 16:1-2a & 5, 7-8,9-10,11 Mt 28:8-15 April 7 Tue *Octave of Easter Acts 2:36-41/ Jn 20:11-18 Ps 33:4-5,18-19, 20 & 22 April 8 Wed *Octave Acts 3:1-10/ Lk 24:13-35 Ps 105:1-2, 3-4,6-7, 8-9 April 9 Thu *Octave of Easter Acts 3:11-26/ Lk 24:35-48 Ps 8:2ab & 5, 6-7, 8-9 April 10 Fri *Octave of Easter Acts 4:1-12/ Jn 21:1-14 Ps 118:1-2 & 4, 22-24, 25-27a April 11 Sat within the Octave of Easter Acts 4:13-21/ Mk 16:9-15 Ps 118:1 & 14-15ab, 16-18, 19-21 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.
