Page 2: APRIL 15, 2018 - THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER · 2019. 11. 9. · reminder that the Bible is NOT an encyclopedia. The Bible is the book of the Church and needs to be read in that light

In these weeks after the Resurrection of the Lord, we are

provided with examples of the many appearances of Jesus

to His disciples to make certain they understood that the

same Jesus they knew and loved and who had been so

brutally crucified was now certainly alive and even glorified

in a way that was beyond anyone's expectations. Many of

the other readings provided at this time give us glimpses

into the life of the young Christian community as it began

to grow, expand and spread. Today's readings are a good

example of that.

The second reading, from the first letter of St. John,

doesn't mince any words as it says "The way we can be sure

we know Him is to keep His commandments. Those who

say 'I know Him,' but do not keep His commandments are

liars, and the truth is not in them." This stood out in my

mind because I recently had a conversation with a person

who asked me the question "Where does it say in the Bible

that I have to go to Mass on Sunday?" The answer, of

course, is it doesn't say that in the Bible! This is a good

reminder that the Bible is NOT an encyclopedia. The Bible

is the book of the Church and needs to be read in that light.

What that means, in this case, is that the Bible does tell us to

"Keep holy the Lord's Day." Since the Ten Commandments

were given to Moses on Mount Sinai, they were around

long before the time of Jesus. Keeping holy the Lord's Day

originally referred to the Sabbath or Saturday. It was only

after Jesus rose from the dead that the early Christian

Community declared that Sunday had become the Lord's

Day and that was quickly seen as the universal practice of

those early Christians attested to in the earliest written

testimonies to be found after the Resurrection, but not

specifically in the Scriptures. The celebration of the Eucharist

quickly became recognized as the most significant and most

important action of the Christian Community: repeating the

words of Jesus to make Him present with us once again as

He invited and even commanded us to do.

How could there be any more appropriate way to keep

holy the Lord's Day than by celebrating the Eucharist? How

could any individual have the nerve to decide that he or she

had the ability to substitute an alternative? We need to take

the words of St. John to heart and let the Word of God - as

interpreted by the Church - guide our lives and ways of

acting. Of course, this applies to all the Commandments as

well. When we allow our own interpretations to enter in

and become our guides, we are on a dangerous course.

Always remember that when the Lord established Peter as

the head of the Church, He said "Whatever you bind on

earth will be bound in heaven." It is better to seek the

guidance of God's Church than to simply rely on our own

designs.

A Message from our Pastor

Today’s gospel depicts the disciples as “terrified, disbelieving and wondering.” Yet Jesus stood among them and said: “Peace be with you.” What was he thinking? Terror and peace just don’t go together, do they? Yes – in the life of faith. No matter how difficult or messy the situation may be, the Risen Lord will be with us ,offering peace and quieting our fears.

- May 2019 has begun. If your group/organization has not

He said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled. You are

witnesses of these things." - Lk 24:44, 48

In third grade, we have been very busy readers this year! We are learning to love many different genres of books. From fiction stories with fantasy, humor, or historical settings to nonfiction texts where we explore faraway places or

encountering inspiring people, we love them all. This year we’ve incorporated many ways to celebrate our love for books. We especially enjoy sharing our favorites with each other. This month students turned their books into creatively themed breakfast cereals! The goal for every third grader is to read at least 40 books this year. In the spring (if it ever gets here!) we will celebrate our accomplishments with a third grade reading picnic!

50+ COMMUNITY A new twist in today's readings is taken from the writings of Clarence Jordan, one of the founding members of Habitat for Humanity. He tell us that "on the morning of the resurrection, God put life in the present tense.” When the resurrection first took place, there was all kinds of excitement. There were the women who went to the tomb and found it empty. There was Thomas who didn't quite believe what had happened. There were the two disciples who experienced the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus. They recognized him and their hearts were bursting with joy. There were the emotions of many who weren't sure of the events of the three days. We may have been one of those people as well. But we have met him in many ways, too. Do we remember? If we would take some time to sit and reflect on the many ways we've met our God, we might be surprised. We continue to meet him as we reflect on the Scriptures, we meet him in the breaking of the bread that is Eucharist. We meet him in others. We meet him in unexpected places. We meet him in times of joy and times of sorrow. We meet him because he has promised that he would be with us always. So, back to the present tense. Jesus is not standing on the shore of eternity beckoning us to join him there. He is standing beside us, strengthening us in this life. The good news of the Resurrection is not that we shall die and go home with him, but that he has risen and comes home with us. Alleluia! Our final meeting before our summer break is on Friday, May 11. Come and meet Bishop Nelson Perez on Saturday, June 9, as he celebrates our 5:00 p.m. Mass.
