OUR PARISH COMMUNITY PRAYS FOR :

Our recently deceased who have entered Eternal Life:

Pat Halliwell

Seeing is believing! Since cellphone screens connect us instantly to social media, live TV, and loved ones ’ faces near and Our sick and homebound: far, “Doubting Thomas ” could be our patron : “Unless I see, Castillo, Jean Cohen, Dawn Conguisti I will not believe! ” But how comforting for any of us who share Baby James Jack D ’Agostino Thomas ’s doubt, or love “doubters ” who do, to see how kindly Ada Fields, Meg Gallagher, Bill Hamilton responds. By offering the very evidence that Thomas de- ’ Grace Gilbert, Lauren Harpster Hines manded, Jesus doesn t scold Thomas, but seems to understand such skepticism. Could Jesus have been thinking of us, who long Bob Kleinknecht, Joan Snow, Nicole Trotta to believe that “Jesus is risen! ” but see so much suffering, and perhaps even cause some, that we wonder, how could something so wonderful be true? In today ’s reading from the Acts of , the risen Jesus ’ healing love comforts through disciples who love others. In , “our brother John ” doesn ’t just claim he saw Jesus alive, but passes on Jesus ’ life -giving words, “Do not be afraid. ” Seeing Jesus in others is believing! The following parishioners have made Easter Flower donations in memory of their loved ones. Peace,
