In this week's Gospel, Jesus offers Peter an opportunity to
redeem himself. Peter denied Jesus three times when Jesus
needed him the most. So Jesus invites Peter to repent and to
be forgiven by expressing his love three times. Peter gets
the chance to repair the damage he caused by denying
Jesus. Repentance can free us from the guilt that keeps us
from fully loving ourselves and others. We can't really be
free until, like Peter, we try and correct the damage that our
sins leave behind. The Easter season is a very good time to
prioritize and learn from our mistakes. The Risen Christ
offers us the opportunity and the courage to look honestly
at our sins and to repair any broken relationships with
others or broken pathways to living the Christian life.

Gospel: John 10:27-30
Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice. I know
them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish. No one will snatch
them out of my hand.”

MERCY: SANCTUS
Interested in Becoming Catholic?
Are you or someone you know interested in becoming Catholic?
Are you missing some of your sacraments, such as First
Communion or Confirmation? If you answered yes to either of
these, and would like to know more about RCIA (Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults) please call the Parish Office for more
information. Inquirers are always welcome to join our candidates
and catechumens at the special dismissal at the 9:00 am Sunday
Mass.
Showing Love And Dignity For Others In Death
Of the seven corporal works of mercy, only one is not found in
Matthew 25:31-46: bury the dead. Why then is it included as one
of the works of mercy?
Proper burial of the dead was an important practice in Israel from
the earliest days. In Genesis 23, Abraham purchases a field to bury
his wife Sarah. Genesis 49:31 informs us that Abraham will also
be buried in that tomb, as well as Isaac and his wives, Leah and
Rebekah, and their son Jacob.
The importance of a proper burial is also seen in the interment of
Joshua and the bones of Joseph (Jos 24:29-33). Proper burial of the
dead was also seen with the body of Jesus (Jn 19:40).
Proper burial of the dead was considered so important in Israel that
being left unburied was considered a curse and a condemnation.
According to the book of Tobit, burying the dead was an important
work of charity (Tb 1:16-17).
As with all works of mercy, what is emphasized here is the
importance of compassion for others and the need to treat
everyone with dignity and the respect they deserve as people
created by a loving God. Showing love for others, even after
death, is how Jesus’ disciples are to show their love for God.

Spend a day away from the media, the cell phone,
and the computer to hear the still, small voice of
God calling you to a life of everyday holiness. It is
time to sign up for the next Sanctus retreat on
April 16, 2016. Registration forms are available in
the Parish Office and the rack in the Narthex. For
more information contact Chris Acherman in the
parish office: [email protected].
GROWING IN THE WORD: GOSPEL OF LUKE
The year 2016 places us in Year C of the
Lectionary Cycle with an emphasis on readings
from the Gospel of Luke. Join us on Mondays at
St. John Fisher for a 6 week series ending May 9,
on the Gospel of Luke. Together we will explore
this Gospel; one filled with colorful images of
compassion and gentleness. We will also have an
opportunity to study the motifs of diabolical
forces, the great reversal of rich and poor and the
schism of those who reject Jesus’ teaching. Time:
Monday evenings: 7:00 pm.-8:30 pm in the
Auditorium. Presenter, Misty Jesse, PhD, DMin.

These efforts were funded by St. John Fisher
Charitable Outreach (Obra Buena). If you would like

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
“Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a
third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him,
“Lord you know everything; you know that I love you.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.””
John 21:17
All of us are challenged to show our love for Jesus by
“feeding His sheep.” Through prayer ask God how you
should best use your time, talent and treasure to assist
those who are in need. Remember that giving is an act
of worship and helps advance the mission of our parish
and greater Church.

Stewardship and Our Baptismal Promises
The practice of renewing our baptismal promises at Easter is
essential for those who take the stewardship of faith seriously. It
focuses the steward’s attention on answering Christ’s call to
follow after him, proclaiming his Gospel in word and deed,
putting the Eucharist into action, building up the communion of
faith, and sharing Christ’s peace with a broken world. The
baptismal water of Easter performs a twofold purpose. It baptizes
the catechumens and it refreshes our covenant with God in Christ
through the renewal of our baptismal promises. It “seals” our
resolve to follow Jesus more closely.
PV Resale Needs Volunteers!
If you have a kind and compassionate heart, a desire to make a
difference in the lives of those in need and enjoy working with
others please consider volunteering at PV Resale Thrift shop.
Commitments can be as simple as once a month. To find out more
