Sharing Christ In and Through the Church
March 2016 News
The Vicar’s Corner
by Fr. William Promesso
This March not only brings us spring time, but also Easter. The nearness of
these dates in 2016 are a good reminder of the celebration of the Paschal
Mystery. Though it’s a term we often use in formal liturgical prayers, not
everyone is familiar with it or what it means.
The Paschal Mystery is Christ’s work of redemption accomplished
principally by his passion, death, resurrection, and ascension, whereby
“dying he destroyed our death, rising he restored our life.” The Paschal
Mystery is celebrated and made present in the liturgy of the Church, and its
saving effects are communicated through the sacraments especially the
Eucharist, which renews the paschal sacrifice of Christ as the sacrifice
offered by the Church. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1067)
Watching winter turn to spring is reflective of the suffering of Christ that
leads to glory. Watching the first flowers of spring push through the cold,
hard earth remind us of Christ bursting forth from a rock-hewn tomb.
Catholics have what theologians call “a sacramental imagination,” and we
are able to see the grace and glory of God in the most common places and
things.
The Downriver Vicariate Council meets again on Tuesday, March 15.
David Grobbel from the archdiocesan office of family life will speak about
the recent two-part Synod on the Family held in Rome in 2014 and 2015
and other items that impact families here and everywhere.
May your Lent continue to be blessed and Easter filled with new life as you
dwell in the Paschal Mystery. Have a handful of jelly eggs and taste the
sweetness of the Resurrection of the Lord!

We are called to examine our
consciences and admit our failings. The
sacrament of Penance challenges us to
examine our hearts inwardly and then
express outwardly the ways we have
failed to love God and neighbor—through
both personal sin and social sin.

Indeed, how else could we be followers of the Lord if we did not
personally engage in ministry to the sick, the poor, the dying and the
destitute? Our faith in Christ, born of having recognized our own need for
him who has come to heal our wounds, to enrich us, to give us life, to
nourish us, “is the basis of our concern for the integral development of
society’s most neglected members” (Evangelii Gaudium, 186). I thank
you for being close to those who are ill and all the suffering, offering
them the loving presence of their shepherd.

Whether you are a new care partner or a long-time care partner,
you will need a toolbox to store ideas, tips, articles, opinions,
facts, notes, data, hints, plans, goals, guidelines, advice, books to
read, websites, warnings, suggestions, statistics, details, essentials,
events, what to do, and what not to do. Becoming the “dementia
care partner” is usually a “learn-as-you-go” position that sneaks up
on you as slowly as the dementia itself sneaks up on your loved
one. The tools you collect during your time as a Dementia Care
Partner will serve you well; but you must first find them, then
collect them, and finally use them. Where do you begin? How do
you know what you need when you don’t know what you need?
This fun hands-on presentation will give you some basic tips from
good reliable sources and a few suggestions on where to start to
gather information that will help educate you about Alzheimer’s
and other dementias. Featured are some helpful products or “tools”
you might want to add to your care partner toolbox after looking
them over.
