TROHA Our celebration of Easter last weekend was in marked contrast to the Easter celebration of one year ago. All of the churches were shut down last year at that time due to Tina Ard Donald Jordan the Covid pandemic. Our Easter Vigil last year was Christine Ball Ralph Kimpton celebrated by me and Fr. McNeil and Deacon Paul Hlabse. Lu Brienik Mickey Kostelnik This past weekend we had a full congregation at all three Masses. It was really half-full due to the Covid Larry Brown Sam Kovalak restrictions which are still in place for large gatherings. David Green Elayne Kramer The total attendance for the three Masses was over 700 Diana Eisman George Malik people. I do want to offer special thanks to Maureen Hogan and her group Dorothy Feldcamp Carmen Polly of hard workers for decorating the church so beautifully. I also want to thank Michael Kelley for the wonderful job of continuing our music Patricia Flynn Eileen Sheldon ministry with the cantors and some choir members. Our ushers and greet- Jack Hanslik Nancy Vehr ers also deserve our thanks for carrying on their welcoming ministry amidst Joann Hlabse Barbara Walsh the restrictions too. I think that we have one of the best if not the best group of ushers in the entire diocese. They always perform their duties well -dressed and in a most courteous manner. And I am grateful that so many parishioners came to Mass for Easter Sunday. I think I speak for all of us who serve at the altar that it was very special for us to have a full congregation to pray with. This Sunday we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Easter. It is also known as PRAYER LIST UPDATE Sunday of Divine Mercy as Saint Pope John Paul II inaugurated this feast.

Bishop Malesic sent out a letter a few weeks ago in regard to the pandemic. He points out how we have all been “stretched beyond imagination and frustrated by the limitations of the past year.” He continues to say, “God gave us what we needed, especially in the most di=cult times. God remains a steadfast help in time of need.” But then he reminds us that we are not quite done yet. He states: “Even though we are beginning to get this pandemic under control, the virus still remains, and we all need to remain vigilant until that time when masks Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, are no longer necessary and appropriate social distancing is no longer and let perpetual light shine upon expected. The health and safety of everyone, especially those whose them. May they rest in peace. Amen health is compromised in any way, is of extreme importance and these ordinary means of protecting life have proven to be helpful. Remember Julia Sbrocco that patience is like all the virtues. It comes with practice. And, if these limitations and temporary requirements were a great burden to us, they were also the sufferings that we were able to endure and offer up for the salvation of souls, our own included.” Good thoughts from our bishop. If you lack patience, say this prayer: Dear God, give me patience, and give it to me now! You might make God laugh. This prayer always make me laugh. Fr.

At the beginning of the second rehearsal I attended one of the Assistant Papal Masters of Ceremony, Monsignor John Cihak, addressed all the servers and other volunteers. He is a priest of the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon and also a seminary classmate of mine. Monsignor reminded all present that the primary protagonist in the Sacred Liturgy is the Holy Trinity. From that he expounded on the nature of reverence, both as a matter of interior activity and exterior stillness.

Jesus came to him with a mercy that removed every possible doubt. Our Lord Jesus Christ miraculously entered the room where his disciples were, even though the doors were closed. This is impossible for an ordinary earthly body so the fact reassured Thomas and the other disciples when he also let his side and the wounds in his flesh be touched and felt.

  • The Octave of Easter
    The Octave Day of Easter The Second Sunday of Easter was already a solemnity as the Octave Day of Easter; nevertheless, the title “Divine Mercy Sunday” does highlight and amplify the meaning of the day. In this way, it recovers an ancient liturgical tradition, reflected in a teaching attributed to St. Augustine about the Easter Octave, which he called “the days of mercy and pardon,” and the Octave Day itself as “the compendium of the days of mercy.” For a much deeper understanding of the Octave Day of Easter in the ancient liturgical tradition, especially in the earliest liturgical document, in existence, directly attributed to the Apostles, “The Apostolic Constitutions”, and St. Gregory Nazianzen, see the essay by Father Seraphim Michalenko, M.I.C., in “Divine Mercy, the Heart of the Gospel”, published by the John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy or in this handy leaflet “Mercy, the Message of Easter”. Moreover, it is well known that the title “Divine Mercy Sunday” expresses the message of the prayers and readings traditionally appointed for this Octave Day. Liturgically the day has always been centered on the theme of Divine mercy and forgiveness. That is why in its decree establishing Divine Mercy Sunday, the Holy See, strictly insisted, that the texts already assigned for that day in the Missal and the Liturgy of the Hours of the Roman Rite “are always to be used for the liturgical celebration of this Sunday.” The Octave Day of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday, therefore points us to the merciful love of God, and the forgiveness of sins, that lies behind the whole Paschal Mystery – the whole mystery of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ – made present for us in the Eucharist.
