7:30am Mass
Dolores VanderJagt (Charles & Clair Brown)
Intentions can be made for the Bread & Wine, Altar Candles and Sanctuary Lamp. The lighted candle symbolizes a prayer offering where we present our petitions to the Lord and ask the saints to pray with us and to pray for us during our most dire need. This light, as it is kept burning, also shows our de-sire to remain in God’s presence as we go through our daily duties at home and in the workplace. The red Sanctuary Lamp by the tabernacle burns to re-mind us of the sacramental presence of Jesus Christ. It is a mark of honor to remind the faithful of the presence of Christ, and is a profession of their love and affection. If you wish to have the Sanctuary Lamp burning in memory of a loved one, to honor a special occasion, or a special intention make arrangements with the Parish Office. The me-morial will be published in the Bulletin.

LITURGICAL MINISTRY SCHEDULE
This flu season is one of the worst in 15 years. Bishop Serratelli has issued the following guidelines for all liturgies in the diocese until further notice:
2018 Liturgical Guidelines for the Flu Season
1.If you don't feel well and suspect that you may have the flu: remain at home. 2.Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or an alcohol based hand cleanser. 3.Sign of Peace: If you feel uncomfortable with exchange of the sign of peace through a handshake you are under no obligation to do so. You may extend the sign of peace to your neighbors by a nod of the head. 4.Distributing and Receiving the Eucharist: Priests, deacons, and extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist must thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water or an alcohol based hand cleanser both before and after the distribution of the Eucharist. Receiving Holy Communion in the hand is the most practical means to distribute the Blessed Eucharist in a sanitary way. 5.Receiving the Eucharist by also drinking the Precious Blood from the chalice is discontinued until the level of flu cases is dramatically decreased. 6.Children. In parishes where Children's Liturgy of the Word is celebrated, the pastor may suspend the practice during flu season.
OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
A Steward’s Prayer My Parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly if… I am. It will be holy if… I am. Its pews will be filled if … I help fill them. It will do great works if … I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes if… I am generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship if… I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the
things that I want my parish to be. Amen.

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER APRIL 15, 2018
The Shroud of Turin and the Facts
Some time ago a mainstream media outlet reported on the Shroud of Turin and said, “Pope Francis prayed Sunday before the Shroud of Turin, a strip of cloth that some believe was used for the burial of Jesus Christ. The shroud appears to bear the image of a man who resembles paintings of Christ.” “A strip of cloth…”? Here are some of the basic points shroud doubters have to answer: The image of the man on the cloth. The image is not a stain. It is not painted on the shroud. It is not burned on in a conventional manner. Instead it is an image seared on to the cloth with some technology that has yet to be explained. Not only can they not reproduce the image using medieval technologies, they can’t reproduce it with modern technology. The 3-D capabilities of the image. The image of the man on the shroud can be read by 3-D imaging technology. Paintings fail this test. The Positive-Negative Image. The image is a photographic negative. That means when a traditional photograph is taken what should be the negative appears as a positive image. If it is a medieval painting how did they do that and why? The anatomical accuracy. Not only is it an accurate image of a dead man but the image is distorted as it should be if it was lying over a real body and the body vanished from within it. The historical accuracy to crucifixion. The wounds are all consistent not only with Roman crucifixion, but the details of Jesus’ particular crucifixion like the crown of thorns, no broken bones the scourging and the wound in the side. Geographical accuracy. Pollen from the shroud is not only from the Jerusalem area, but from Turkey and the other places the shroud is supposed to have resided, dust from the area on the shroud by the knees and feet is from the area of Jerusalem The accuracy to Jewish burial customs. The shroud shows details perfectly consistent with first century Jewish burial customs. There are even microscopic traces of the flower that would have been used in the burial flowers that grew locally and were known to be used for burial.

The blood and the image. The blood was on the shroud first. The image happened later. If it was painted (there is not evidence of paint anywhere) the two would be part of the same faked image The type of cloth. T h e c l o t h i s consistent with fabrics from first century Israel, but not with medieval Europe. A forger
would have had to not only forge the image in some as yet undiscovered way, but would have had to have detailed knowledge of linen weaves of the first century and then not only reproduce it, but age it convincingly. The age of the cloth. The 1987 carbon-14 tests are now believed to have been taken from an area of the cloth that was not simply patched in the middle ages but patched with a difficult to detect interweaving and the carbon-14 tests were therefore compromised. The latest technology and testing suggests a date for the shroud between 200 BC and AD 200. Go here for news of Professor Fanti’s test in 2013. The only piece of evidence from the shroud which doesn’t match up is the 1987 carbon-14 testing. When considering evidence and you have nine items which fit with the known facts and fit with each other, but you have one piece of evidence which does not fit, it is common sense to challenge that one piece of evidence and reject it or try again to see why it doesn’t fit. This is what Fanti’s research has done and proven that the 1987 tests were faulty. Atheists often ask for evidence for the existence of God. I think the Shroud of Turin is the most convincing evidence available if they want scientific, archeological, historical, physical proof. Why? Because an atheist must insist on the natural world being a closed system. Miracles are not allowed. Not even one miracle is allowed. Because if there is a miracle, then there is an intelligent being outside and beyond the closed natural system. So if it can be shown that one miracle has occurred, then God must exist, and the most astounding miracle would be the resurrection of a dead person and the only person that happened to was Jesus Christ, and the evidence from the shroud is increasingly intriguing and points to exactly that.

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER APRIL 15, 2018
The town of Manoppello1 is situated in Central Italy, in the Abbruzzi region, 30 kilometres from Pescara. Archaeological findings show that it was part of an important Roman urban centre originally called Pollitrium, while the current name comes from the Italian “manoppio” which means “haystack”. Its property passed under the feudal system from Pope Innocent III to Frederick II, and later on from Louis of Anjou to Louis of Savoy. It also belonged to the Orsini family, under whose rule local currency was coined. In 1423 the town was besieged and occupied by Braccio da Montone, who destroyed most of the buildings.
The Sanctuary of the Holy Face, built between 1617 and 1638 and later restored, is now a popular destination for devout pilgrims. A veil showing the features of a human face is kept in a reliquary on the main altar. The pilgrimage takes place on the second Sunday in May and on the 6th of August, when the Transfiguration of Christ is celebrated. It is told that a mysterious pilgrim2 who arrived in Manoppello one day in the year 1506, handed in a veil, which was said to bear the image of Christ’s face, to Giacomo Antonio Leonelli. In 1618 the veil was purchased by Donantonio de Fabritiis and twenty years later donated to the convent of the Capuchin Friars Minor. The mystery over the veil’s background prompted a research on its origins, which the friars commissioned to theologian Donato da Bomba. Apart from the description and history of the veil, his work examines the basic theme of the Holy Faces and the Veronica. The miraculous quality of the veil is officially stated in a document, which was read, approved and endorsed on 6th April 1646 and still now kept in the Manoppello Historic Archives.
The Holy Face, worshipped as a relic in the Manoppello Sanctuary, traditionally represents the Face of Jesus Christ. It is currently kept in a solid silver monstrance decorated in gold and precious stones made by Nazareno Jotti. It is a well visible image on a veil placed between two ordinary glass panes measuring about 24 by 17.5 centimetres and enclosed in a walnut frame. The cloth itself exceeds the framed area of 5 millimetres. The straight and spotted nose looks as if broken. The open mouth shows some of the teeth in the upper jaw. A small lock of hair covers the forehead, some facial hair is visible above the upper lip together with a little beard on the chin and a small bunch of hair framing the face. The veil is transparent and there are 26 warp by 26 weft threads in a square centimetre, not always at a regular distance from each other. Colours do not fill in the whole cloth and can be seen only from a certain angle or against a matt screen. The chromatic features are mainly shades of brown. The cheeks are uneven in size. Objects placed at a short distance behind the veil can easily be seen through it, and writings clearly read. The image is perfectly visible from the front and from the back. If observed at a short distance and from a three-quarter angle it gives the impression of a tri-dimensional image. Because of the extremely sparse fabric, the image disappears if looked at backlight.
