STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things
that are on earth.” Colossians 3:2
Do you put God first in all things? Possessions, money,
power, ego can easily become gods to many of us. Do a
quick check of what is important to you. Is God at the
very top of the list? If not, your priorities need to be readjusted. Don’t let earthly things become your gods.

2nd Sunday of Easter
“What do you know?” is the question
linking all three readings today. Imagine the shock waves
that shot through the city of Jerusalem that first Easter
morning. Jesus’ body was missing!
By the time Peter spoke the words found in today’s first
reading, fifty days had passed, so he began by saying, in
effect, “I take it you know what has been reported all
over Judea about Jesus of Nazareth.” Of course they
knew by then, but in today’s Gospel we are taken back to
the first day. We meet Mary Magdalene exclaiming,
“We don’t know where they put him!”
What do we know? In the second reading Paul asks, “Do
you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough?”
Do we know the power of our own faith? Do we know
the effect we can have on others? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
CHRIST HAS RISEN
Where is your sting, O death?
Where is your victory, O hell?
Christ has risen, and you are overthrown.
Christ has risen, and the demons have fallen.
Christ has risen, and the angels rejoice.
Christ has risen, and life reigns.
Christ has risen, and not one dead rests in the grave.
For Christ having risen from the dead became the firstfruits of them that slept.
To him be glory and majesty to ages of ages.
Amen. —Byzantine Pentekostarion

ALLELUIA!
Christ is risen from the dead!
We have walked the way with Christ,
To his suffering and death on the cross;
We now hear in the echoing tomb
A never-ending “Alleluia!”
This is the day
You have made for us, O Lord,
To praise you and thank you,
To bless you and glorify you
For raising Christ from the dead.
This is the day
You raise us from the dead,
Born anew in the waters of baptism,
Risen with Christ to life eternal,
Now and forever.
Amen.
Congratulations to our young adults who received
the Sacrament of Confirmation on March 1. Each
has given more than 40 hours of service to their
community, participated in fifty hours of classroom instruction, attended a retreat, and worked
with their sponsors over the past two years in order to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. May God continue to bless them and all
that they do.

Introduction-Liturgy of the Word:
Brothers and sisters, Christ is risen! Today we rejoice that
the tomb has no power over our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. But this is not the end; it is only the beginning. As
we hear God’s word today, and renew our baptismal
promises, and pray the Eucharistic Prayer, and receive
Communion, we must begin to figure out what it means for
each one of us that Jesus Christ is risen in our own lives.
Let us pray for the grace to begin.

Operation Rice Bowl
ALLELUIA!
During the past six weeks, our parish
community has prayed, fasted and given alms
with a special focus on the poorest members
of our global community. Our lives were touched by stories
from Kenya, Guatemala, the Philippines, Malawi, Haiti, and
the United States. Through our Lenten prayers and
donations, we have touched the lives of millions of people
served by Catholic Relief Services, our representative to the
poorest communities in the world.
If you have not returned your Rice Bowl, please do so as
soon as possible. It would be very helpful if you could
please, convert your coins into paper money to make it
easier to collect. Thank you for your generosity!
Question to Ponder:
How will I bring the reality of having met the Risen Jesus in
word, Eucharist, and others to those in the multiple settings of
my daily life who may never have encountered Jesus or the
transforming power of his compassionate love?

APRIL HEALTH TIP
Risk Factors of a Heart Attack
There are modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors to heart
disease. Modifiable are risk factors that can be altered with lifestyle adjustments where non-modifiable risk factors cannot.
Non-Modifiable Risk factors: Age, gender, and heredity.
Modifiable Risk factors:
Tobacco use: smokers are at 2-4 times at greater risk then nonsmokers. Cigarette smoking is a powerful independent risk factor
of sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary heat disease.
High blood cholesterol: As blood cholesterol rises, so does risk
of coronary heart disease. A person’s cholesterol level is also
affected by age, sex, heredity and diets.
High blood pressure: High blood pressure increases the
heart's workload, causing the heart muscle to thicken and become stiffer. It also increases your risk of stroke, heart attack,
kidney failure and congestive heart failure. When high blood
pressure exists with obesity, smoking, high blood cholesterol
levels or diabetes, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases
several times.
Physical inactivity: An inactive lifestyle is a risk factor for
coronary heart disease. Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical
activity helps prevent heart and blood vessel disease. Physical
activity can help control blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity,
as well as help lower blood pressure in some people.
Obesity and overweight: People who have excess body fat,
especially if a lot of it is at the waist, increases the likelihood to
develop heart disease even if they have no other risk factors.
Excess weight increases the heart's work because often the
blood pressure is higher. It also raises blood pressure & blood
cholesterol thus increasing the chances of diabetes. Many
obese and overweight people may have difficulty losing weight.
But by losing even 10% from your current weight, you can lower
your heart disease risk.
Diabetes mellitus : Diabetes seriously increases your risk of
developing cardiovascular disease. At least 65% of people with
diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease. If
you have diabetes, it's extremely important to work with your
healthcare provider to manage it and control any other risk fac-

Defending Our Religious Liberty
#112 April 20, 2014
The President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops,
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, has sent a letter to President Obama
asking that, in light of concessions made to others in the implementation of the health care law, the administration at least temporarily exempt religious institutions from paying crippling fines
until the courts decide the religious freedom issue of having to
pay for plans that include sterilization, abortion-inducing drugs
and contraceptives.
If you haven’t done so already, please voice your opposition to
the HHS mandate by calling President Obama at the White House
at 202-456-1111 or Secretary of Health and Human Services
Kathleen Sebelius at 202-205-5445. Let them know that the mandate is in violation of our First Amendment right to religious freedom.

PRAY for our ACTIVE MILITARY

relatives of our parish family members and ask that you
remember them in daily prayer. Please let us know if there are
any family members you would like posted...and may God
keep them safe.
“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as
they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless
acts they perform for us in our time of need. We ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Lenten journey is now complete; its mission of
renewal and preparation to receive new life fulfilled. The
call to worship the Risen Lord has been received, and we
gather to experience together the consoling presence of
Christ in word and sacrament. We are at our best today,
crowded and cramped to be sure, but the fullest sign of
who were are meant to be. Christ has claimed us in the
waters of baptism, we have acquired wonderful
companions, and together we can accomplish great things.
This is the day for rekindling the old flames of
baptismal commitment, so we light the paschal candle, and
by its light we make yet again the ancient promises to reject
evil’s grip and empty promises. Today we do not recite the
Creed, but respond with one voice to age-old questions.
New life has to be nurtured, both the life of the newly
baptized and the renewed life of those who have passed
through Lent’s refining prayer, fasting, and giving alms. At
any Mass during the next fifty days, you may be surprised
by grace and splashed by water! Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
MASS OF ANOINTING
A Mass of Anointing for the Blessed John Paul II
Community will be held at St. Patrick Church on Sunday,

sacrament for those only who are at the point of death, but is
important for any Catholic who has an illness or is suffering
from old age. The Sacrament seeks to comfort, strengthen the
soul of the sick person, quiets anxiety, dissipates fear, and
embraces God’s will.
