As you saw in the DVD presentation last week, and in the brochure, the Catholic Appeal touches so many people. As branches on the vine, we, as St. Patrick Parish are an integral part of the Vine of God’s Love in Eastern Connecticut. Please carefully consider making a gift. As you know, the Lord will not be outdone in generosity. I remember a homily a priest friend once gave entitled, “Two Seas”. In this homily he compared the Sea of Galilee, lush, full of life, the scene of all of Jesus’ miracles, and the Dead Sea: Called dead, appropriately, because it gives nothing back. Wouldn’t you like to see all aspects of your life like the Sea of Galilee: lush, full of life, full of miracles? Step out in faith and remember, God loves a cheerful giver. Please know that I, too, am making a substantial sacrifice. I have pledged $1,000.00 to the campaign. If you are on a tight budget and struggling with bill payments, don’t worry, the smallest gift is of inestimable value. Participation in the ACA is a wonderful way to celebrate our Catholic heritage and identity: Wouldn’t it be great to have 100% participation? This weekend we see that the man born blind is washed in the pool of Siloam and healed. All of us need healing and cleansing. We are journeying to Easter and it is there in the baptismal font that the healing waters flow. I personally am very excited about the Holy Week schedule. With our new organ and choir the liturgical rites promise to be inspirational. Listen closely to the following excerpt from Pope Benedict XVI’s book The Spirit of the Liturgy: “Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord (Ex 15:1) Year by year, at the Easter Vigil, Christians join in the singing of this song. They sing it in a new way as their song, because they know they have been ‘taken out of the water’ by God’s power, set free by God for authentic life. The Revelation of St. John draws the bow back even farther. The final enemies of the People of God have stepped onto the stage of history: the satanic trinity, consisting of the beast, its image, and the number of its name. Everything seems lost for the Holy Israel of God in the face of such overwhelming odds. But then the seer is given a vision of the conquerors, ‘standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb (Rev. 15:3)’ The paradox now becomes even more powerful. It is not the gigantic beasts of prey, with their power over the media and their technical strength who win the victory. No, it is the sacrificed Lamb that conquers. And so once again, definitively, there resounds the song of God’s servant Moses, which has now become the song of the Lamb.” As we approach Easter and the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb we are reminded that the songs of the people of God of old are our songs now. We conquer through singing. We conquer through the Mass. We conquer as we worship as a parish community remembering that just like David in today’s first reading we have been anointed with holy oil. Bill payments, pressures and stresses of life got you down.? Not to worry, you will conquer through song, liturgical worship and the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Be of Good Cheer! He has won the victory for us. Page Four April 3, 2011 Parish Events St. Patrick Library is located in the workroom of the Parish Center. All are welcome!

As we hear the gospel story of the man born blind who is given sight by Jesus, let us pray, along with our elect who will celebrate their second scrutiny today, for the insight to see who God is calling us to be this Lent and for the rest of our lives.

Nurses’ Notes National Donate life Month in April, is a month dedicated to honoring organ and tissue donors and helping the community understand the importance of registering their decision to donate. Here are the facts: You can register to be a donor online at www.donatelifenewengland.org. All major religions support organ and tissue donation as the ultimate act of charity and a final act of love and generosity towards others. Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of race, ethnicity, or medical history. If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ, eye and tissue donation can only be considered after you are deceased. When you are on the waiting list for an organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other important medical information, not you financial status or celebrity status. Organ and tissue donation does not interfere with the ability to have a funeral with a viewing. Through the entire process, the body is treated with care and respect. There is no cost to the donor or their family for donation. Most transplants are paid by the recipient’s private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. In the United States, over 106,000 people are waiting for a life-saving transplant. Every day, 18 people will die simply because an organ is not available. A donor can save or improve the lives of us to 75 people. donated organs include, heart, lungs, liver, kidney, pancreas, and small intestine. Donated tissues include bone, tendons, corneas, heart valves and skin. The Donor Registry is first person consent in order to protect the wishes of the individual. If a registered donor is eligible to donate upon death, the family will not be asked to give consent for donation to occur, but they will be supported throughout the process. Organ and tissue transplants offer patients a new chance at healthy, productive, normal lives and return them to their families, friends and communities You have the power to change someone’s world by being a donor. It’s about living. It’s about Life. Visit Donate Life New England at www.donatelifenewengland.org to register online! it takes less than a minute to say “yes” to saving lives.
