THE SIGN OF SIMON PETER Fr. David Poecking (Pastor)

By ancient tradition, Mark the evangelist accompanied Simon Peter during Peter’s old age in Rome. Mark took notes of Peter’s preaching and after his death (or maybe before—reports vary) wrote them out as The Gospel according to Mark. The tradition is supported by the fact that Mark’s Gospel treats Peter more harshly than the other Gospels, hinting strongly at Peter’s self-critical remorse at how frequently and badly he misunderstood Jesus. This Sunday’s Passion narrative according to Mark sustains the theme of Peter’s failures. As with FROM THE PASTORFROM THE other Gospels, there’s the story of Peter’s denial of Jesus, and also his foolish boasting, and the moment where Jesus calls him out by name for falling asleep. But more subtly, there’s the Roman centurion who, after Jesus dies, says, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” Mark expects readers to remember earlier in his Gospel (8:29-32), where Peter similarly said, “You are the Christ!”—and promptly showed he had no faith or understanding of what he said, when he denied that Jesus had to be killed. The centurion, by contrast, makes his statement only when he sees how Jesus died, and so clearly perceives the link between Jesus’ death and his divine anointing, So with great irony, Mark’s Gospel suggests that where Peter failed, the Roman centurion is the first human being to fully recognize, understand, believe, and profess that Jesus is the Son of God. A pagan and an enemy of God’s people “gets it” before any of Jesus’ own disciples! How many of us disciples are like Peter, resisting the cross, squirming away from suffering for the sake of Jesus or the Gospel? How many of us profess the true Faith without any intention of carrying the cross we profess? How often do outsiders see our failure and hypocrisy, and overtake us because they accept what we refuse to see: That Jesus is victorious not because of his worldly success or power, but because of his suffering out of love for us? OTHER NEWS • The Holy Week schedule of observances is posted in this bulletin. For the major liturgies, especially Easter Sunday, we might reach our pandemic seating capacity, so please register in advance and be prepared for the possibility of having to listen to the liturgy on your radio from the parking lot. On Easter Sunday, please consider coming to a less popular Mass time to allow others more access to the popular times.

RESTORATION OF THE NORMAL PRACTICES FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION

Beginning on Holy Thursday, we are restoring the normal practices for the distribution of Holy Communion: • There will be multiple communion stations • Holy Communion will be distributed at the proper time within the Communion Rite • Sanitizer will be available for the communion minister • Be aware that some of your brothers and sisters doubt the health and wisdom of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue during the pandemic. In your charity, please consider receiving on the hand for the coming weeks, lest we inadvertently increase our neighbor’s apprehension. • Masks are to be worn while in line for Holy Communion

The parish office will be closed on April 2nd and April 5th in observance of Good Friday and Easter Monday. 13 14 INTERCESSION William Duffy David DiSanto Justin Buckley Josh Bruchwajski James Breslin Brian Breland Lisa Aburaad OUR SERVICEMENANDSERVICEWOMEN Wilbert Cusano,MaureenHarper,andJésusAliciaPolar OUR DECEASED You canfindtheobituariesat Ken Dorman Ken Dorman Gil Dieteman Rene Dewine Anya DeFeo Madeline Deluca Jack Davis Anthony Davis Alice Curtolo Bev Cummins Ryan Costa Adam Conner Bob Chamberlin Earl Cetto Bill Casrelli Kathy Campbell Charles Campbell Betty Campalong Janet Cain Mary KayBuranosky Elizabeth Bridge Theresa Boros Ann Borden Dolly Blumling John Bednar Rita Battaglini Dorothy Bastyr Charles Bastyr Joan Amon Patrick Alex Joanie OUR SICKANDSUFFERING Please pray for: READINGS FOR THEWEEK OF MARCH 28,2021 NEXT SUNDAY WEDNESDAY: THURSDAY: SATURDAY: MONDAY: TUESDAY: SUNDAY: Lewis Hess Benjamin Goehring Jason Glance Edward Glance Mark Finnegan Stephen W.Dukes Travis Dunham FRIDAY: Joanne Dressler Phyllis Downs Jack Kelley Wasil Karlobski Stella Karg Susie Kanuch Ann Kane Laura Kammermeier Alberta Kale Sue Joseck Sean Jones Melissa Jones Louise Jones Victoria M.Jeffrey Elizabeth Jakiel Joseph Hamerski Brenna Halbedl Lizzie Guzman Bruce Gutt Georgiana Guerra Cynthia Gilchrist Anna Garofalo Bonnie Gallagher John Gallagher Katie Gasior Lynn Frketic Helena Ferro Don Fern Karen Duran Leonarda Dudash : 5:6b-8 /Jn20:1-9 Acts 10:34a, 37-43 / Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 / Col 3:1-4 or I Cor SEE EASTERVIGILREADINGS ATBIBLE.USCCB.ORG Jn 18:1—19:42 Is 52:13—53:12 / Ps 31:2, 6, 12-13, 15-16, 17, 25 / Heb 4:14-16; 5:7-9 / Ex 12:1-8,11-14/Ps116:12-13, 15-16bc,17-18/1Cor11:23-26Jn13:1-15 Is 50:4-9a/Ps69:8-10,21-22,31and33-34Mt26:14-25 Is 49:1-6/Ps71:1-2,3-4a,5ab-6ab,15and17Jn 13:21-33,36-38 Is 42:1-7/Ps27:1,2,3,13-14 2:6-11 /Mk14:1—15:47 Mk 11:1-10/Jn12:12-16Is50:4-7/Ps22:8-9,17-18, 19-20,23-24/Phil www.archangelgabrielparish.org/obituaries Steven Marshall Jacob Mammay Benjamin Macek James McGregor Christopher McDermott Spencer Lindsay Richard B.Ingold,Jr Larry Markowski Larry Markowski Sylvia Lynch Irene List Bennet Lindley Bill, Rachel,and Patricia Leyda Sam Lewis Jennifer LePore Lori Leaman John Leaman Msgr.

*Catholics age 14+ are to abstain from meat on Fridays and Catholics ages 18-59 are to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. People who are young, sick, infirm, or otherwise not obliged by the law are encouraged to performs acts of penance or charity suitable to their situation. We sell meat items because many people cook their pizzas later in the week and not all who patronize the Pizza Kitchen are Catholic and therfore not required to abstain from eating meat on Fridays.
