THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER - APRIL 19, 2015
Painting above: “The Pilgrims of Emmaus”
by Jacques Stella (17th Century)
Masses
Acts 3:13-15, 17-19; Ps 4; 1 Jn 2:1-5a
Gospel: Lk 24:35-48
Last week we read of Jesus appearing to his disciples
when the doors were locked. Thomas was not present
the first time. Today’s reading is another account of this
first appearance. Here we learn he appeared to them after
the two disciples returned from Emmaus as they were
recounting their encounter. Although they saw him in
their midst and touched him, their joy was “incredulous”
(distrustful, disbelieving, suspicious). Two thousand years
have passed, is our joy for Jesus also incredulous? God loves
us unconditionally and blesses us abundantly, even when
we are too blind to see it. Let us reflect on the stories of
Jesus’ appearances and take the Spirit he gave the disciples
to go forth into the world today.

Saints Alive!
Announcements
Saint of the Week:
Saint Anselm of Canterbury
Born: 1033
Died: April 21, 1109
Memorial: April 21
Canonized: 1492 by Pope Alexander IV
Anselm became a Benedictine Monk in
1056 and became their Abbot in 1078. He reluctantly went
to England to become the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1092.
He fought the King’s encroachment on ecclesiastical rights
and the independence of the Church and refused to take
bribes. The King exiled him in response. King Henry II invited
Anselm to return to England but he was exiled again when he
refused again to compromise the Church. He was successful
in England at obtaining legislation prohibiting sale of men. He
was a great philosopher and theologian and was chosen as a
doctor of the Church in 1720 by Pope Clement XI.

Weekly Scripture Challenge~ by Tim Rimmer
This is the third Sunday of Easter. We have read about the Last Supper, Jesus’
arrest, trial and sentencing, his crucifixion, death, burial, the empty tomb,
and the resurrected Jesus’ appearance to his disciples. Challenge – what was
the time-line (days of the week) from the time Jesus was arrested until he
was resurrected; at what times of the day did these events take place? Can you name those
who came to the empty tomb? Refer to all four Gospels for answers. Matthew reveals the
least, John and Mark the most.
Do you knit, crochet, sew, quilt, weave,
or work with fiber?
You may be interested in attending the Fiber Fair
and share with others who enjoy your passion and
ministry. The fair will take place on Saturday, April
25, 2015, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Church of
the Resurrection, New Albany. ALL ARE WELCOME!
