EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD 12 APRIL 2020

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

If Christmas is the “most wonderful time of the year,” then Easter is the most joyous, glorious, awesome time of the year! Really? Today’s readings don’t exactly brim over with the kind of holiday cheer we find at Christmas—except for the responsorial psalm, which admittedly rings with gleeful joy. But otherwise, not so much. In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter gives a dry, condensed rendering of the story of Jesus to a group of Gentiles in Caesarea. The Colossians reading actually does have us looking forward to glory. Most underwhelming, though, is the Gospel proclamation of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When we want to hear about angels and earthquakes and trumpets and glory, we hear about a dark, silent, empty tomb. This Easter Sunday story from John’s Gospel is startling in its emptiness. Like Peter in the story, we must enter into this mystery.

March 27, 2020 Dear Friends in Christ, This is a time of great challenge in our world. My prayers are with you and your family as we deal with these uncertain times. We especially pray for those who are personally impacted by the spread of COVID-19 and for all those who are providing care and helping to reduce the risk. While we are all facing difficulties as a result of this global health emergency, I am encouraged to see so many people reaching out in support of our families, our neighbors and our parishes. Due to the suspension of Masses, which was necessary to protect the health and safety of our community, our parishes now face increased risks of financial shortfalls and may struggle to pay bills and provide services. Many parishioners throughout our Diocese have already recognized the impact of the Coronavirus crisis and have committed to give what they can to support their parishes. Thank you for your kind generosity. I certainly understand the financial challenges all of our families are facing and recognize that not everyone will be able to support their parish as they would like at this time. If you are in a position to do so, I would ask you to consider doing whatever you can for your parish so that it can remain strong in service to you and your family and all of our parishioners. You may give to your parish by mailing your weekly offering or by giving online if your parish has an online giving opportunity. Our parishes are at the center of our faith life and your support is deeply appreciated by your pastor and by me. In this special year of Saint Joseph in our Diocese, may we seek his powerful intercession to safely guard the Church from all evils, just as he protected the Holy Family from harm. Saint Joseph, our guide and patron, pray for us.

Faithfully yours in Christ,

†Joseph C. Bambera  Most Reverend Joseph C. Bambera, D.D., J.C.L. Bishop of Scranton

Bishop Bambera has suspended the public celebration of the Eucharist and asks parishioners to stay home and stay safe.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad. ~Psalms 118

BELIEVING IS SEEING

You’ve heard the saying “Seeing is believing.” Today’s first reading seems to say just the opposite. You might think that when Jesus rose from the dead, everyone would see him. Then his friends would rejoice and those who had put him to death would repent (or run as fast as they could). Yet Peter says that he was only visible to some of the disciples. Jesus did not appear to Herod or Pilate or Caiaphas. The Pharisees and scribes did not see him, either. Even the disciples did not immediately see him. The first thing they saw was the empty tomb, with burial cloths lying on the ground. They may have thought that if his enemies had stolen Jesus’ body, they would not have removed the burial cloths; touching a corpse would have made them unclean. So it seems the empty tomb helped them to believe, and believing enabled them to see the Lord. The exception to this may be Thomas, who said he would not believe until he saw and touched Jesus’ risen body. Yet when he does see the Lord, Jesus himself declares that believing is primary when he blesses those who have not seen but still believe (John 20:31). I used to think that Jesus was invisible to non-believers, but Mary of Magdala saw him, thinking he was the gardener. Then she believed and recognized him. What does this mean for us? Jesus seems to be hidden again. Yet we say that he is present in the sacraments; baptism, Eucharist, and confirmation show that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in us. So perhaps we just need to believe in order to see him. Mother Teresa could do it. She said she was amazed at the love she felt when she saw Jesus in the poor and the dying people of Calcutta. St. Francis saw him not only in the poor but in all creation. Maybe we need to grow in faith so that we can see Jesus in the poor, the dying, the people who annoy us, even our enemies. That is why it is so important to spread the faith; if we don’t see Jesus in everyone, we may never have true peace. Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD 12 APRIL 2020

THE MYSTERY OF EMPTINESS Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! This Paschal greeting is customary in Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches on Easter Sunday. Then there is Saint Augustine’s acclamation of joy: We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song! However you express it, Easter is the time for rejoicing because Jesus Christ, our friend and brother, is risen from the dead. And yet today’s scriptures are less joyful than one would expect for the most important feast in the Christian calendar. Perhaps we are being asked to look deeper into the mystery of the Resurrection, just as Peter went into the tomb to look deeper into the mystery of its emptiness. Mary Magdalene, who loved the Lord so much that she risked everything, possibly even her life, to go to the tomb before daybreak, finds the stone rolled away and assumes that someone has taken Jesus’ body. Frightened and sad, she runs to tell Peter and John. They all run back to the tomb, but what do they expect to see? Peter enters the tomb and sees. John enters, sees, and believes. But what does he believe? Scripture states, “For they did not yet understand the scripture that he had to rise from the dead” (John 20:9). They went home, not really knowing what had happened. But John “believed” something.

SOMETHING HAPPENED What do we believe? Somewhere between that Easter morning and Peter’s confident teaching about Jesus in the reading from the Acts of the Apostles, something (the Risen Christ) happened. Peter has evolved from his bewilderment into a witness to the Resurrection. What are we to find in the empty tomb? Maybe the Colossians reading has an answer. By entering the empty tomb of our lives to seek the Lord, we see, we believe, we die, to be raised with Christ. “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). And we will rise in glory with him.

Year of Saint Joseph This year marks the 150th Anniversary of Pope Pius IX’s decree naming Saint Joseph, husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary and foster-father of Jesus, as the Patron of the Universal Church. In commemoration of this anniversary and recognizing the fitting time for the Church to invoke the intercession of this guardian, His Excellency, Bishop Joseph C. Bambera has declared this year as a “Year of Saint Joseph” to be observed in the Diocese of Scranton from March 19, 2020 to March 19, 2021. Bishop Bambera states, “Just as Saint Joseph watched over and protected the Lord Jesus while he was on earth, we need Saint Joseph to watch over and provide for the Church today. His intercession on behalf of the Universal Church is vital as the world faces so much upheaval and pain, and particularly as it confronts the uncertainty and pain of the coronavirus epidemic.” Bishop Bambera invites all of the faithful to renew their devotion to Saint Joseph during this commemorative year, and to seek his powerful intercession to safely guard the Church from all evils, just as he protected the Holy Family from harm.

SPRUCING UP FOR SPRING The Columbiettes will be sprucing up our parishes. We will be cleaning up and planting flowers at St. John Neuman and St. Ann’s this spring, so our parishioners can have a place to sit, meditate and pray.
