Easter Sunday
April 8, 2012
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
— Psalm 118:17
REJOICE AND BE GLAD
During the first three or four centuries of Christianity, if you asked a
Christian to name the feast days of the church, your answer would have been a
puzzled stare, for there was only one feast: the Resurrection of the Lord. Every
Sunday was a feast celebrating the one great feast. Even though our calendar
now has many beautiful and holy feasts, we must continually be called back to
the fact that all these other feasts exist because of the feast of Christ’s passover from death to life. The psalm today
proclaims this message well: “This is the day.” It is not one of many days, but it is the day of all days, the one that gives
all the others their origin, purpose, meaning, and destiny. Listen carefully to Peter’s speech in Acts with its recollection
of the Passion, to the words of the apostle Paul, and to the account of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter finding the
empty tomb, and you will hear the many wonderful works that God has done for us through Christ. Rejoice and be glad!

Easter Sunday

THE RISEN LIGHT OF CHRIST
One of the meaningful symbols of the Easter Vigil is the service of light.
The Paschal Candle is brought through the Church in solemn procession,
pushing back the darkness. This Easter Candle represents the Risen Light of
Christ, which pushes back the darkness about life’s lack of meaning.
Seventeen adults are joining St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Community at
the vigil service. Once the Paschal Candle reaches the sanctuary area, our
new fellow pilgrims will light their candles from the Christ Candle and pass on
the light until the candles of all are lit. The symbolism is breathtaking, with
each person holding their lit candle – the darkness will disappear in the
Church – Christ is blessing us with the light of His Risen Presence.
'The Light of the World' is the title of a famous picture painted by Holman Hunt. It shows the
thorn-crowned Jesus with a lantern in his hand knocking on a closed door and is based on those
lovely words of Christ in Revelation: "Listen, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice
and opens the door, I will come into his house and eat with him and he will eat with me." (Rev. 3:20)
The door of course is the human heart, and it is said that the artist having completed the picture
showed it to some friends who praised the merit of the painting. One of them pointed out what he
considered an omission on the part of the artist.
"You have put no handle on the door. " he said to Holman Hunt who replied immediately,
"You forget—we must open to the light, the handle is on the inside."
On entering our Church on Easter morning, you will be struck by the tasteful flowers and
ambiance that declares Christ is Risen. My faith is always strengthened by the example of our
fellow parishioners. This year the attendance at daily Mass during Lent, the stations of the cross,
the parish mission, reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the Holy Week ceremonies, the
RCIA, the hope of our sick parishioners, the garden workers, the joy of our children, the quiet
example of our liturgy ministers and the unselfish giving of all, has added to the joy of Easter.
It is a special blessing being your Pastor. Together please God, parishioners, staff and our
extended families will give even greater Glory to God, this Easter and beyond.
God Bless And Easter Joy To All. Fr. Mike
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giggles:
On Sunday morning before Mass the local golf professional brought back Fr. Murphy
his golf clubs, which he had been repairing. A young parishioner, who saw the priest receive the
golf clubs, said to his parents "We won't be too long at Mass this morning."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bishop was visiting a catholic school and he was carrying his Bishops Crook (Staff). The
Bishop informed the class about his role as shepherd. He then asked what a Shepherd's Crook
was? A young student answered, "It's the guy who steals the sheep."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Definitions: Decongestion: Too many deacons at a meeting.
Atheism:
A non-prophet organization.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the priest entered the pulpit, he realized he forgot his homily notes. He apologized, "I
forgot my notes, I must rely on the Lord. I promise to come better prepared next Sunday."

LA LUZ DE CRISTO RESUCITADO
Uno de los símbolos más significativos de la Vigilia Pascual es el servicio de la luz. El Cirio
Pascual se trae por la iglesia en una procesión solemne, empujando hacia atrás la oscuridad. Este
Cirio Pascual representa la luz de Cristo resucitado que empuja hacia atrás la oscuridad de la falta
de significado de la vida.
Este año, como una diócesis, fuimos bendecidos con más de mil personas uniéndose a la
Iglesia Católica. Diecisiete adultos se unen a nuestra comunidad católica de Santa Teresa de Ávila
en el servicio de vigilia. Cuando el Cirio Pascual alcance el área del santuario, nuestros nuevos
compañeros peregrinos encenderán sus cirios del Cirio de Cristo, pasando la luz de persona en persona
hasta que todos los cirios estén encendidos. El simbolismo es sobrecogedor, con cada persona agarrando
su cirio encendido – la oscuridad se desaparecerá en la iglesia. Cristo está bendiciéndonos con la luz de Su
Presencia Resucitada.
Al entrar nuestra iglesia en la mañana de Pascua, los impresionarán las flores de buen gusto y el
ambiente que declara que ¡Cristo ha resucitado! Mi fe siempre se fortalece por el ejemplo de nuestros
compañeros feligreses. Este año la asistencia de la Misa de cada día durante la Cuaresma, las estaciones
de la cruz, la recepción del Sacramento de Reconciliación (Confesión), las ceremonias de la Semana Santa,
el RCIA (Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos), la esperanza de los feligreses enfermos, nuestros
jardineros, la alegría de nuestros niños, el ejemplo callado de nuestros ministros de la liturgia y la donación
de todos han aumentado a la alegría de la Pascua.
De parte de todos, es para mí un privilegio darles la bienvenida a nuestros nuevos feligreses quienes
se han unido con nosotros en la mesa del Señor en la Vigilia Pascual: Lois Ackerman*Gary Crockett*Juan
Garcia*Valerie Hankins*Carl Hull*Larry Hyde*Chris Lafaille*James Lambert* Helen Larkins*Kenneth
Larkins*Erik Lopez*Constance Manning*Blair Scott*Brian Stanley & Jennifer Wennsman.
¡Qué Dios nos bendiga! y les esperamos La alegría Pascual a todos.

The Gospel of Mark
Beginning April 18th and continuing for four weeks, Deacon Red Cheever will be teaching an adult
religious education class on the Gospel of Mark. Scholars suggest that Mark was written in Rome around the
year 70 A.D. The Jewish War was ending, and the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. Christians in Rome
were suffering persecution; many Christians died in Circus Maximus because of their faith in Jesus, the
Christ. The evangelist Mark, who was a friend/disciple of Peter, writes to both challenge and consol the
church in Rome. Mark remembers (in the Jewish sense—the past becomes present) the ministry, the
Passion and the Resurrection of Jesus.
This story of Jesus, the Christ is our story today. We are not in ancient Rome, but still the story gives
challenge and consolation. We read and study to become better Christians.
The classes will be held on April 18, 25, May 2nd and 4th, Wednesday, two sessions, 9:30—11am & 7
-8:30pm. Bring your bible.
