Do you seem to find an emptiness in your home now that life has calmed down and you are uncertain of the future? Empty nesters can be people who are facing their children leaving home, whose children have already left, and those who desire to discuss how to fill the nest now that it has emptied. Join us for 2 evenings of entertaining discussion about these very real circumstances that many of us are facing. Some of us are handling this time with a new found freedom, but some are missing all of the confusion and business of raising children. The first evening will be on Tuesday, April 14, featuring several speakers who will address their experiences with empty nesting. The second evening will be on Tuesday, April 21 and will focus more on the man's perspective of this phenomenon. We are entitling this evening "Wandering Aimlessly", which is sure to be very funny with Gene Jordan, Fred Isaf, and other parishioners who have navigated this territory for a while now! Both evenings will begin at 6:45PM with a wine and cheese reception in the Ministry Hall. We will have open discussion until 9:00PM. A fee of $15/person is requested and all are welcome to bring friends, neighbors and family members. This should prove to be a fun and enriching evening. Called and Gifted Workshops This is a special opportunity to discern what your gifts and talents are, and to understand how to use them to build up the Body of Christ in your home, work place, church and community. In the first session you will learn about the 24 Charisms that God has given which are listed in the Scriptures. You will be given an inventory sheet to understand what your unique gifts are, and then in the second session we will discuss what your strongest gifts are, and how you can use these talents. Join us on either Thursdays, April 16 and 23 from 9:00AM - 11:30AM or Tuesdays, May 5 and 12 from 6:30PM - 9:00PM in Room 233. The fee for the classes will be $15/person which will include the workbook and the follow-up to the personal inventory. Register at www.stjudeatlanta.net/spring2015 Each workshop is limited to 30 participants.

In the event of rain, we will have Mass in the Church. Sunday, April 12 The Feast of Divine Mercy, celebrated on the Octave of Easter (the Sunday after Easter Sunday), is a relatively new addition to the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar. Celebrating the Divine Mercy of Jesus Christ, as revealed by Christ Himself to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, this feast was extended to the entire Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, the day that he canonized St. Faustina. During the course of Jesus' revelations to Saint Faustina on the Divine Mercy, Jesus asked on numerous occasions that a feast day be dedicated to the Divine Mercy and that this feast be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. The liturgical texts of that day, the 2nd Sunday of Easter, concern the institution of the Sacrament of Penance, the Tribunal of the Divine Mercy, and are thus already suited to the request of Our Lord. The Lord's will was made known in His first revelation to the saint, as recorded in her Diary. In all, there were 14 revelations concerning the desired feast. The Feast includes the solemn, public veneration of the Image of Divine Mercy by the Church, as well as personal acts of veneration and mercy. The great promise for the individual soul is that a devotional act of sacramental penance and Communion will obtain for that soul the plenitude of the divine mercy on the Feast. Fr. Jaime and Fr. João will hear confessions in English, Spanish and Portuguese at 2:30PM followed by the recitation of the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00PM. Don't miss out on the many blessings the devotion to Divine Mercy has to offer everyone. Come and join us! March 29, 2015 Palm Sunday Page 7 Celebrating the Easter Triduum at St. Jude The Easter Triduum begins with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, and closes with evening prayer on Easter Sunday. Holy Thursday - 7:30PM - The Celebration of the Lord’s Supper It is during this celebration that we re-enact the washing of the feet, a visible sign of Christ’s call to us to “serve one another”. Twelve parishioners are chosen as representatives to have their feet washed. Also interesting to note is that there is no actual close to the “Mass”. Instead there is a solemn ending to this celebration as it closes with the Eucharistic procession of consecrated hosts (which will be used on Good Friday) from the altar to the tabernacle. After this procession, the sanctuary is completely stripped in preparation for Good Friday. The Holy Eucharist is exposed for Adoration from the close of the celebration until midnight, at which time it is moved to the Altar of Repose. Good Friday On Good Friday, we remember the day that Jesus died with various activities throughout the day. Besides the activities, the church itself is also a reminder as the sanctuary is empty. The altar is bare, the fonts are dry, the tabernacle is open, the statues are covered, and the emptiness can be felt. Tenebrae/Morning Prayer - 9:00AM Tenebrae (Latin for "shadows") is a communal celebration held on the mornings of Good Friday and Holy Saturday. This traditional prayer of the Church incorporates hymns, Psalms, scripture readings, writings of the saints and intercessory prayers as a means of prayerfully meditating on the solemn events recalled during the Holy Triduum. The Seven Last Words 12:00PM - 2:30PM This is a series of reflections & meditations on the last words spoken by Jesus from the Cross. The Stations of the Cross - 2:30PM The Stations of the Cross are timed to end at the hour of Jesus’ death. The Celebration of the Lord’s Passion * - 7:30PM This is a Liturgical celebration, but is not an actual Mass as there is no Consecration of the Eucharist. Good Friday is the only day of the year that Mass is not celebrated. This celebration includes the Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion from the Altar of Repose. ( * 3:30PM in Portuguese and 4:30PM in Spanish) Holy Saturday Tenebrae/Morning Prayer - 9:00AM Blessing of Food - 10:00AM You are invited to bring baskets of food to the Church to be blessed. Easter Vigil - 8:00PM There are four parts to the Easter Vigil as it includes the Light Service and the Liturgy of Baptism along with the Liturgies of Word and Eucharist. This celebration begins outside with the Service of Light. The church is in darkness and light is brought inside via the Paschal Candle. The Exsultet is sung and the light of the Risen Christ is passed by the faithful from candle to candle to fill the church with light. After the Liturgy of the Word and before the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the Elect are brought into the church through the Rite of Baptism. This Liturgy also includes a Profession of Faith for those already baptized, and Confirmation for all of the candidates. Please note, the faithful who receive communion may also receive at another Mass on Easter Day. Page 8 Palm Sunday March 29, 2015 Vacation Bible School (VBS) 2015 Children's Liturgy of the Word St. Jude’s VBS, “Cathletics…Training to be Champions for Christ!” is scheduled for the week of June 1-5.

La celebración de la Divina Misericordia de Jesús fue revelada a Santa María Faustina Kowalska. Esta fiesta fue extendida a toda la Iglesia por el Santo Padre Juan Pablo II el 30 de abril del 2,000, el día en que Santa Faustina fue canonizada. Durante su vida Jesús se reveló muchas veces a Santa Faustina y le pidió en numerosas ocasiones que una fiesta dedicada a la Divina Misericordia fuera celebrada el domingo después de la Pascua. Los textos litúrgicos de ese día, el segundo domingo de Pascua, tienen que ver con la institución del Sacramento de la Penitencia, el tribunal de la misericordia, o sea que ya todo estaba predispuesto para ese día según lo pedido por Nuestro Señor. La voluntad del Señor fue dada a conocer en la primera revelación a la santa, como dice en su diario. En total fueron 14 revelaciones conciernientes a esta fiesta. La fiesta incluye la veneración pública de la Imagen de la Divina Misericordia, así como actos personales de misericordia.

Os ramos significam a vitória: “Hosana ao Filho de Davi: bendito seja o que vem em nome do Senhor, o Rei de Israel; hosana nas alturas”. Os ramos santos nos fazem lembrar que somos batizados, filhos de Deus, membros de Cristo, participantes da Igreja, defensores da fé católica, especialmente nestes tempos difíceis em que esta é desvalorizada e esquecida. Os ramos sagrados que levamos para nossas casas, após a Missa, lembram-nos de que estamos unidos a Cristo na mesma luta pela salvação do mundo; uma luta árdua contra o pecado, um caminho em direção ao Calvário, mas que chegará à Ressurreição. A Festa da Divina Misericórdia, celebrada na oitava da Páscoa (o domingo após domingo de Páscoa), é uma adição relativamente nova para o calendário l itúrgico católico romano. Celebrando a misericórdia divina de Jesus Cristo, conforme revelado pelo próprio Cristo para Santa Maria Faustina Kowalska, esta festa foi estendida a toda a Igreja Católica pelo Santo Papa João Paulo II em 30 de abril de 2000, dia em que ele canonizou St Faustina. Os textos litúrgicos desse dia,dizem respeito a instituição do Sacramento da Penitência, o Tribunal da Divina Misericórdia e portanto, vem de encontro ao pedido de Nosso Senhor. O desejo desta festa foi revelado por Jesus desde a primeira revelação a S. Faustina. Temos um total de 14 revelações falando sobre a festa e sua importância. A Festa inclui a veneração pública e solene a imagem da divina misericórdia pela Igreja, bem como atos pessoais de veneração e piedade. A grande promessa para a alma individual é que um ato devocional de penitência sacramental e comunhão obterá para aquela alma a plenitude da misericórdia divina na festa. Em nossa comunidade iniciaremos com a oração do terço da divina misericordia às 3P.M.. Mons Joe, Pe Jaime e Pe João, estarão disponíveis para confissão a partir das 2:30PM até o início de nossa celebração às 3:00PM Teremos também a benção das imagens e leituras do diário de S. Faustina. São muitas as bençãos que esta devoção oferece, portanto, venha e junte-se a nós!
