AN EASTER MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRIESTS  The days from Good Friday to Easter Sunday had been hard days for the people who loved Jesus. Hard days indeed! They had seen the one they called Master suffer and die. They had seen the one they called friend and brother cruelly sacrificed on the cross. They walked away from Calvary on that dark Good Friday. How hard to lose Jesus, how hard to lose anyone we love.
That was how it was for those good women as they went to the garden tomb early on that first Easter morning. How hard it must have been for them as they thought of their sad duty to anoint the dead body of their Lord for permanent burial. It may have been early on that bright Easter morning, but there was no brightness, there was only pain in their hearts.
But all of that changed in an instant. The stone rolled back...the tomb empty...and then two angels saying to them those precious words, “Why do you seek the Living One among the dead?” The Living One! Those must have been the most beautiful words that Mary Magdalene and the other holy women ever heard. The Living One, the Living Jesus, the Risen Lord! And in that instant, the hardness just melted away. They had felt so empty as they walked to that place, but they then saw something else empty, so beautifully
emptyNthe empty tomb of their Risen Lord. They had not yet seen the Risen Jesus, but that did not matter. Their hearts told them it was true. He had conquered death, even as He had said He would. He had risen to new life. He was indeed the Living One.
It is a long walk from Good Friday to Easter. Perhaps this year you in your personal life or in the life of your family have had to make that long walk from Good Friday to Easter. Perhaps you have had to face the Good Friday of losing someone you loved.
Perhaps you have had to face the Good Friday of physical suffering, for yourself or someone you love. Perhaps Good Friday for
someone has been the pain of seeing a young person in the family abandon his home and walk away. If you have been there, if you have had your pain, if you have had your Good Friday of any sort, then today, Easter, is your day. Easter is Jesus Christ’s gift to you. Easter is Jesus giving you the brightness of hope. Easter is Jesus saying to you, “Do not give up. I did not give up. And I will help you not to give up too.” Easter is Jesus saying to you, “Remember I am the Living One. Remember my tomb is empty. Remember that I fill the emptiness of every life. Remember that I offer you the brightness of my Easter.” For after all, Easter is Jesus’ gift which He lovingly shares with us. Easter is not our possession. Easter is the gift that Jesus gives, the gift of light and life. Easter is Jesus’ gift to us to help us walk through the hardness of our lives, knowing that we are not alone. Easter is Jesus telling us that death does not win out, pain does not win out, hardness does not win out. The Living One wins out and the Living One is Jesus the Lord.
On this Easter day, let me share with you a special remembrance. Over a year ago our dear Father Charles left us. He was here with us for less than two years and yet it seemed as if Father Charles, “the nice priest” had been here all his life. How hard for us to lose him who loved us so much during those two years which his niece called “the happiest years of his life.” I have said in these months since Father Charles’ death that I would not be surprised if he walked in one day, with that everpresent smile on his face, and said, “Here I am.” And I would not be surprised on that day if standing next to him was the Lord He loved, the Lord he served, the Lord who has him home. And if the “nice Priest” were to speak to us, I think he might say, “Do not cry. I have my Easter now in heaven.
I will be waiting there for you, me and my Friend, me and the “Living One,” me and Jesus Our Lord.”
God bless you and your family for a blessed Easter. You are in our special prayers at our Easter Masses even though cannot be with us.

THE CARDINAL’S APPEAL2020: A HOLY WEEK SACRIFICE 


The 2020 Cardinal’s Appeal is now underway in our parish and throughout the Archdiocese. The Appeal, as you know, is the major fundraising effort of the Archdiocese to support the pastoral, educational and social programs of the Church of New York. Your help in the Appeal will certainly be thankfully received by Cardinal Dolan as he continues to serve all of us in our Archdiocese.
We come now to Holy Week, our special time of recalling the sacrifice of Our Lord to take away our sins. Let your Appeal offering be your sacrifice which you unite with the Cross of Our Lord. Make your offering not only a financial gift, but a spiritual gift to the Lord who died for us.
Your Appeal offering may be mailed to us or put in the mail slot of the Rectory door or you can send it directly to the Appeal Office.
You may pick up additional Appeal envelopes in the vestibule of the church.

Please pray for the success of the Appeal, in our parish. With your generous help we shall again reach our goal in the Appeal this year.

In this trying time we need to laugh a little! KIDS HEAVENLY HUMOR    Q. What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards?  Why did the Easter egg hide? It was a little chicken.  A. A receding hareline.

What's the Easter Bunny's favorite restaurant? IHOP.
What do you get if you cross Winnie the Pooh and  the Easter Bunny? A honey bunny  EASTER SUNDAY AN EASTER MESSAGE ESPECIALLY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES  During this difficult time, when you children are not able to come to church or to religion class in school or CCD Program, it is
important for you to continue growing in your faith. Here are some ways:

1.
Remember how important it is for you to pray every day. That is true at every time, but it is especially true now. Pray for your
family. Pray for your friends and classmates. Pray for the people who are suffering from the virus and for the wonderful medical
peopleNdoctors, nurses, hospital personnel and EMT’sNwho are taking care of them and us. Pray, of course, for those who have died. As we celebrate this Easter Sunday, may they have their Easter forever in heaven. We particularly encourage you to pray the rosary, even if it is one decade each day or evening. You can find “A Decade of the Rosary” on our website (www.sttheresachurchbronx.com) What a wonderful thing for you to join with your family in praying the Rosary together.
Remember, the Lord especially hears the prayers of children. We all need your prayers at this time.
2.
Also on the website you will find the daily Mass. We encourage you to join in the Mass every day. Mass is offered in our church every morning, but our only way of having you with us is through our website. Also on the website you will see our “Message for
3.
Children” issued every Monday and also Stations of the Cross which you can pray together as a family at home. Of curse we would like you to be in church for the Mass and the other devotions, but for the moment the website will have to do.
3.
Use this time to do your schoolwork on google classroom. But also do not forget to do your “religion study work.” I encourage
you to go to: www.religion.sadlierconnect.com,then go to” Sadlier Religion ResourcesN”Let’s Go.” I particularly encourage you to go to the section “The Lives of the Saints.” This will help you to use your time at home to learn more about your faith from reading the lives of the saints. Remember the saints had to face difficult times as we do right now. They will help us to do the some.
4.
Remember that this is a tough time for everyone and that includes your parents. They are worried about many things, but of curse
they worry most about you. Do your best to help you parents and grandparents and your brothers and sisters in any way you can. Be especially kind to one another. It can be hard for you spending all this time in your house, not being able to do the things you want
outside. But remember it is hard for everyone, adults as well as children. Do your best to make things as good as you can for your
family at home. In that way, you are doing your part to defeat this virus and to help us all.

I want you to know that we pray for you children at Mass every day. Remember we now come to Easter and on Easter the Lord Jesus conquered the darkness of the world. May the Lord Jesus help you on this Easter to conquer the darkness and to live always in His
wonderful light.

God bless you children and your families. Happy Easter!












Father Thomas B. Derivan

AN EASTER MESSAGE FROM POPE FRANCIS:  Today and throughout this entire week the paschal joy of Jesus’ Resurrection continues in the liturgy and also in life. During the
Easter Vigil the words spoken by the Angels beside Jesus’ empty tomb resonate. They asked the women who had gone to the tomb at the dawn of the first day after the Sabbath: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen.” Christ’s
Resurrection is the most unsettling event in the history of mankind, which attests the victory of God’s love over sin and over death, and gives a rock solid foundation to our life’s hope. What was humanly unthinkable has happened: “Jesus of Nazareth … God raised him up, having loosed the pangs of death.”
It will do us good to go in thought to Jesus’ empty tomb. The women, filled with fear and joy, depart quickly to go and bring the news to the disciples that the tomb is empty; and at that moment Jesus appears before them. “They came up and took hold of his feet and
worshiped him.” They touched him: it was not a ghost; it was Jesus, alive, in the flesh. It was him. Jesus drives fear from their hearts and encourages them even more to announce to the brethren what has happened. All the Gospels place emphasis on the role of women, Mary Magdalene and the others, as the first witnesses of the Resurrection. The men, fearful, were locked in the Upper Room.
Peter and John, informed by Mary Magdalene, make only a quick remark in which they state that the tomb is open and empty. But it was the women who were first to encounter the Risen One and to bear the message that he is alive.
Today, dear brothers and sisters, the words Jesus addressed to the women resonate for us too” “Do not be afraid; go and tell.” After the rites of the Easter Triduum, which have allowed us to relive the mystery of the death and Resurrection of our Lord, with the eyes of faith we now contemplate him Risen and alive. We too are called to encounter him personally and to become his proclaimers and
Witnesses.
With the ancient liturgical Easter Sequence, in these days we repeat: “Christ, my hope, is risen!” And in Him, we too have risen,
passing from death to life, from the slavery of sin to the freedom of love. Thus, let us allow ourselves to be touched by the consoling message of Easter and embraced by its glorious light, which dispels the darkness of fear and sorrow. The Risen Jesus walks beside us. He reveals himself to those who invoke him and love him. First in prayer, but also in the simple joys lived with faith and gratitude. We can also feel him present in moments of sharing warmth, welcome, friendship, and the contemplation on nature. May this day of
celebration, in which it is customary to enjoy some leisure and gratuitousness, help us to experience Jesus’ presence.
Let us ask the Virgin Mary that our hands may be filled with the gifts of the peace and serenity of the Risen One, so as to share them with our brothers and sisters, especially those who have greater need of comfort and hope.











Regina Coeli Message, April 22, 2019
APRIL 12, 2020
THE EASTER STATIONS OF LIGHT:  During Lent, we observed the Stations of the Cross, remembering Our Lord carrying the Cross and suffering and dying on the Cross for us. A new devotion in the Church is the Easter Stations of Light, recalling the great events that began on Easter Sunday up to the day of the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. In our bulletin each week during these Easter days we present these Stations of Light for your prayerful reflection. These reflections were written by Father Francis Martin.





■First Station■ Jesus Rises from the Dead
Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an
indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of [your] faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Pt 1:89)

Meditation
How wonderful he is. We have never seen him and yet somehow, we do see him and know that he is risen from the dead. He is hidden from our gaze and yet we can see his face and witness to his love. In fact, as Saint John Paul II reminded us, “our witness would be hopelessly inadequate if we ourselves had not first contemplated his face.” As we let the reality of the Resurrection enter us we
understand that the last word about us is not death but life, his life which he shares with us now and for ever.
Prayer
Jesus, you are hidden from our gaze and yet we can see your face and contemplate your beauty and rejoice with an inexpressible joy because you are who you are.










■Second Station■ The Disciples Find the Empty Tomb
But Peter go up and ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone; then he went home amazed at what had happened.
(Lk 24:12)

Meditation Suppose Peter had stayed to think and pray, to seek from God the meaning of this mystery of absence. Suppose he had not just acted on his first impressions and left the scene of the greatest creative act of God the world will ever know. And what about us? How often do we leave a confusing event, something that seems to speak to us only of absence? What would happen if we were to stay and open our hearts to God and wait for him in trust? We would hear this beatitude: Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled (Lk 1:45).
Prayer Jesus, I am waiting for you in an absence that is already full, as when I wait for a friend even though he is late in coming: I believe what you have said to me.


SAINT GIUSEPPE MOSCATI
Layman († 1927)


Giuseppe was born the seventh of nine children to an aristocratic Italian family. All expected that he would become a judge like his father. But when Giuseppe was twelve, his older brother, a solider, suffered a brain injury and the many hours he spent at his brother’s bedside convinced him to turn to medicine. In 1897, Giuseppe completed his medical degree in Naples. He was assigned to the
hospital for Incurables.
Giuseppe’s faith pervaded his practice. He treated the poor without expectation or reward. He chose to remain celibate so that he could be wholly available to his patients and his students (a cloud of interns often followed him through the hospital). In order to better treat his patients, he educated himself in many special conditions. Indeed, Giuseppe excelled in research. In 1908, he won a chair in clinical chemistry. He authored thirtytwo academic papers. Through all of his efforts, daily Mass and the rosary sustained him.
Giuseppe died unexpectedly at fortyseven, perhaps from a stoke. He once wrote a colleague: “Only one science is unshakeable and unshaken, the one revealed by God, the science of the hereafter! In all your works, look to heaven…and orient yourself then much differently from the way that merely human considerations might suggest, and your activity will be inspired for the good.”

Merciful Father, through the intercession of Saint Giuseppe Moscati, let me never forget that I am made for eternity.


APRIL 16th
ST. BENEDICT JOSEPH LABRE


This French saint, born in 1748, led a most unusual life. He was the son of a store owner and was taught by his uncle, a priest. When the good priest died, Benedict tried to enter a monastery. However, he was told he was too young. Then he contacted another order of monks. He loved the life of prayer and penance. But when he joined them, Benedict became thin and frail. It was suggested that he return home to lead a good Christian life. He went home and slowly gained back his health. He prayed for God’s help. Then he felt he was given an answer. He would become a pilgrim, a person on a holy journey of prayer and penance. As a pilgrim, he would travel to the famous shrines of Europe.
Benedict began his journey on foot. He visited one church after another. He wore a plain cloth robe,, a crucifix over his heart and a rosary around his neck. He slept on the bare ground. The only food he had was what kind people gave him. If they gave him money, he passed it on to the poor, His “suitcase” was a sack. In it he carried his own Gospel, as well as medals and holy books to give to
others. St. Benedict paid no attention to the beautiful sights in the cities he visited. His only interest was in the churches where Jesus dwelt in the Blessed Sacrament.
As the years passed, St. Benedict looked more and more like a beggar. He was ragged and dirty. He ate crusts of bread and potato peels. He never asked for anything that would make his life more comfortable. In some places, children threw stones at him and called him names. People who didn’t know him tended to avoid him. But when St. Benedict knelt in front of the tabernacle, he became as still as a statue. His pale, tired face glowed. He would talk to Jesus and to the Blessed Mother. He would whisper, “Mary, O my
Mother!” He was truly happy when he was keeping Jesus and the Blessed Mother company.
He died in 1783 at the age of thirtyfive. The fame of this poor holy man spread far and wide. His journey had ended. The
pilgrimage was over and he would be with Jesus and Mary forever. St. Benedict Joseph Labre was proclaimed a saint by Pope Leo XIII in 1883, a century after his death.
We cannot imitate the poverty of Jesus in the way St. Benedict Joseph did. We can imitate this saint’s love for the Blessed Sacrament
however. Let us go to church often to visit and to have a hearttoheart talk with him. Jesus is our best friend, too.

The Easter Sermon of St. John ChrysostomNPastor of Constantinople (~400AD)
Is there anyone who is a devout lover of God? Let them enjoy this beautiful bright festival!
Is there anyone who is a grateful servant? Let them rejoice and enter into the joy of their Lord!
Are there any weary with fasting? Let them now receive their wages!
If any have toiled from the first hour, let them receive their due reward;
If any have come after the third hour, let him with gratitude join in the Feast!
And he that arrived after the sixth hour, let him not doubt; for he too shall sustain no loss.
And if any delayed until the ninth hour, let him not hesitate; but let him come too.
And he who arrived only at the eleventh hour, let him not be afraid by reason of his delay.
For the Lord is gracious and receives the last even as the first.
To this one He gives, and upon another He bestows. He accepts the works as He greets the endeavor.
The deed He honors and the intention He commends. Let us all enter into the joy of the Lord!
First and last alike receive your reward; rich and poor, rejoice together! Sober and slothful, celebrate the day!
You that have kept the fast, and you that have not, rejoice today for the Table is richly laden!
Feast royally on it, the calf is a fatted one. Let no one go away hungry. Partake, all, of the cup of faith.
Enjoy all the riches of His goodness! Let no one grieve at his poverty, for the universal kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one mourn that he has fallen again and again; for forgiveness has risen from the grave.
Let no one fear death, for the Death of our Savior has set us free. He has destroyed it by enduring it.
O death, where is thy sting?
O Hades, where is thy victory?
Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated!
Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down!
Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is Risen, and life liberated!
Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead; for Christ having risen from the dead, is become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen






During this time when public Mass is not able to be celebrated, the priests are offering private Mass for those who have arranged for announced Masses for loved ones. We are trying to do this, as far as possible, on the actual date that was arranged. In some cases, these Masses have been moved to a later date. This information is available in the rectory.
