Easter Sunday: Expecting to Be Interrupted Happy Easter and all the blessings of this wonderful feast. Our Holy Week celebrations, although different from other years, were dignified, prayerful, and joyous. Holy Thursday and Good Friday were anticipatory celebrations to prepare us to prayerfully wait for the glory of Easter Sun- day, something we have been expecting. In one of my Lenten meditation books that I have been reading (A way Other Than Our Own by Walter Brueggemann) the last Chapter is entitled: “Expecting to be interrupted.” What a great way to capture the essence of what Jesus’ Resurrection was all about. The fulfillment of God’s plan for salvation was almost complete but not until the tomb was empty. Thus, the interruption! This author poses the dilemma that faced Jesus’ followers…how long would they have to wait to see if indeed he would rise in three days. I wonder what was filling the minds of His disciples that Friday and Saturday after His body was placed in the tomb. It was probably a stillness that made them unnerved, a silence that was deafening, and a wait that seemed never ending. Were they embarrassed? Was confusion filling their minds? Why did they not put up a greater resistance for their friend and savior? These and many other questions must have plagued their trou- bled hearts. But they had to wait patiently… but none-the-less it was a long and silent wait. Could they even give a thought that He might return and that they should expect to be interrupted from these and other thoughts? We know the answer to these questions related to the death and impending resurrection of Jesus. Of course we do, because we are some 2,000 years ‘after-the-fact’ and know that God fulfilled His promise to humanity of all ages. But Brueggemann puts it this way: “We are not sure, But we expect to be interrupted. We except to be put at risk. We are not sure, but we are haunted at the thought of it.” What he is saying is that if we believe in Jesus’ resurrection then our lives will and should be interrupted. All of life and death are changed forever and it is both frightening and will be an interruption. Scripture cap- tures this when we read: “When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” (John 20:19) There it is…there is the interruption…Jesus changes everything by re- placing fear and doubt with His peace and assurance that indeed it is Him. The great silence over the earth, the great stillness is now gone for Christ is indeed risen, He is no longer in the tomb, He now resides in the hearts of those who choose to believe. Our Easter celebration proclaims that death no longer has a permanent hold on our lives. We proclaim that what He experienced will one day be ours. As a community of faith that is the message, we must shout out loud and clear. Nothing should imprison our words and actions like the disciples in that locked room…paralyzed by their own insecurities and lack of faith. Resurrection is the most wonderful interruption that we can ever ex- perience. Let’s enjoy it, savor it, and share it with everyone. May the joy of Christ’s resurrection be yours, Fr. Mike, Deacon Ferdi & Deacon Steve Stewardship Corner Reflection 248 Stewardship at Holy Trinity Catholic Church For Whom Did Jesus Come? “I will make you a light to the nations.”! (Isaiah 49:6) The exiled Jews expected a rescuer. Did Jesus come just for the Jews? Perhaps for the Apostles? Or for the people of his time? No, He came for all mankind; He came for us. He came for our ancestors, our families and neighbors and even that guy that took the parking space we were waiting for. It’s Easter Sunday and we've completed another Lenten season. We’ve reflected on the Stations of the Cross, recalling His death, even His request of the Father to forgive those who crucified Him. Now, we celebrate His resurrection. We celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World. He was the light for the people of His time and He is the light for us today as well. Let’s celebrate His resurrection and His light to our world. Let’s celebrate the gift of His stewardship to us. Happy Easter! “You Can’t Out Do God’s Generosity!” Good News to the Parishioners of Holy Trinity Church April 4, 2021 1. It’s usually the teacher that helps the student, but in Fontana, CA it was the reverse. Steve Nava, a welder, noticed a man in a parking lot outside a car. Recognizing him as his former substitute teacher, he gave him what cash he had and after hearing his story, started a GoFundMe to raise over $27,000; enough for a 1-month hotel and time to find transitional housing. 2. Gladys Stinga, 85 always wanted to ride a “hog.” She got her wish on her birthday when the Palm Beach County Harley-Davidson club made her an honorary member and sponsored her on a 20- minute 30 bike ride. 3. Dr Anthony Fauci has been called “America’s Doctor.” So where does he go for medical advice? In a recent interview, he responded…” not far...just across the kitchen table to my wife Christine Grady (Chief of Bioethics, NIH).” 4. Pastor Patrick Jackson, once homeless himself, started Camp Victory in Broward County, FL for the homeless in his area in 2018. His goal: clean clothes, hot meals, personal hygiene. Today over 3,800 are serviced. 5. It’s nearly 6 weeks since the Mars Rover, Perseverance landed on Mars after traveling 300 million miles in 205 days. An amazing feat to most of us, but to the team at NASA…” explorers go to the unknown” became their motto. 6. Think hard. Did something good happen this week? I’m sure it did. Then cherish that memory. Hold it in your heart/or in your mind; then when things are challenging...recall that memory. 7. Remember our gifts from God...continue to take care of one another. 8. “I know it’s difficult to eat and drink with a mask on, but to the extent possible...keep your mask on.” (Anthony Fauci, MD). 9. When it comes to Coronavirus...common sense is not so common...chose common sense anyway. 10. Wear your mask, maintain distance, and wash your hands. Keeping current with Holy Trinity...easy. Check our website for the latest news and updates at www.holytrinitychurchhi.org. Let’s remember the value of what we have when the good times return. Stay safe, wear a mask, wash your hands, looking forward to seeing you in our gym at Mass until then.

  • Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8
    Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8 1. What is the liturgical color during Lent? Violet The liturgical color during Lent is violet, typically. However, there are a few days throughout the season that use other colors. The feasts of the Annunciation, on March 25, and St. Joseph, on March 19, can use white vestments, as can Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. The Fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, calls for the color rose where it is the custom. The Sixth Sunday during Lent, Palm Sunday, uses red vestments, as does Good Friday. 2. Ash Wednesday is a Holy Day of Obligation. False. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation as many mistakenly believe, but it tends to be one of the more crowded Masses of the Church Year. It is certainly a good idea to start out the season of Lent with this important Mass, which reminds us of the penitence we are to be practicing during the season, as well as our own mortality. 3. Why do we receive ashes on Ash Wednesday? Because of the penitential nature of the season. We receive ashes as a reminder of our repentance, sorrow, and humility, as ashes symbolize in the Bible. They also remind us that “thou art dust, and to dust thou shall return.” (It is also not a requirement that Catholics receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.) 4. Why do Catholics set aside Fridays as particularly sacrificial days? Because it is the day Christ died for our sins. Fridays are always considered sacrificial days, both during Lent and during the rest of the year, because Christ died for us on the cross on a Friday.

  • Avoiding Easter Saturday [First Published in the Methodist
    P a g e | 1 Avoiding Easter Saturday [First published in the Methodist publication Momentum, Issue 7, Spring 2008] The teacher and writer Alan Lewis used to talk of workshops that he’d led on the theme of Easter. The trouble was, he said, that groups were happy to talk about Good Friday but then they wanted to jump forward to Easter Day as quickly as possible. That long hiatus of Easter Saturday, when Jesus lies alone in a borrowed tomb, was to be avoided. Was that, Alan wondered, because we simply don’t like talking about death? And yet, he said, if we believe that God lived in and through Jesus Christ then it’s important for us to think not only about what was happening to Jesus, dead and buried, but what was happening to God… also dead and buried. It’s a tough idea to get your head round – that God, too, experiences death on the cross and “knows how to die”. Alan came to understand that the God’s aloneness and despair on Easter Saturday is precisely that part of the Easter story that most closely mirrors so much of our own human experience. Three events of the last century, he suggests, bring into focus the sense of despair we so often feel about our world: Auschwitz Hiroshima Chernobyl … three events that represent the possibility of soulless inhumanity, a nuclear winter and, at Chernobyl, “the terrible possibility of planetary death… the ultimate eco-catastrophe”.

  • Sermon Transcript: Good Friday
    Copyright © 2017 Territorial Mission Resources Department - Australia Southern Territory 1 Written by Christopher Trodden B.A (Bib.Stud) Easter series: Message 2 Sermon Outline: Good Friday Topic: Easter Friday Main Point: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door that leads to eternal life. Intended Response: Step into a new way of living and reveal the Kingdom of God to others by opening the door to Jesus (Rev 3:20). Key Text Jn 10:7-15 Introduction When we think of Easter Friday, we often recall the dramatic imagery surrounding Jesus’ trial and crucifixion. This message seeks to engage our congregation and visitors by exploring another image – Jesus as the door to life. A. Jesus calls Himself a door Our faith is in the safest place when we trust in Jesus. Jesus was prepared to lay His life down to save ours. As the Good Shepherd, He will never leave us in times of trouble. Point One: Jesus truly is the Greatest Door of all! B. Why did Jesus die on Good Friday Sin came flooding into the earth when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Actions open doors of consequence and sin. On Good Friday, Jesus opened up the door to eternal life. Point Two: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door to eternal life. C. On the cross, Jesus closed the door that gives sin the rule over our lives But why didn’t Jesus lock the door to sin? We have a choice to close the door to sin and open the door to Jesus.
