Easter Humor However, before that great commission, Jesus suffered the cruel fate of crucifixion. To many, it was a time of joy and relief. Finally, this Jesus had been silenced. As Christians throughout the world, Easter marks a new beginning, a different story. Jesus Christ has not been silenced. Jesus Christ is risen and his words will be proclaimed no matter what is placed in the way. We can’t help but think of the persecutions, exiles, martyrdoms which people have undergone to proclaim the Easter mystery.

Sunday: Acts 10:34a, 37-43/Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 [24]/Col 3:1-4 or 1 Cor 5:6b-8/Jn 20:1-9 or Lk 24:1-12 or Lk 24:13-35

Monday: Acts 2:14, 22-33/Ps 16:1-2a and 5, 7-8, 9-10, 11 [1]/Mt 28:8-15

A Sequence is a chant or a that is sung before Tuesday: Acts 2:36-41/Ps 33:4-5, 18-19, 20 and the Gospel on many feast days throughout the Church 22 [5b]/Jn 20:11-18 year. It used to be immediately before the Gospel, but was reordered in recent years to be before the Gospel Wednesday: Acts 3:1-10/Ps 105:1-2, 3-4, 6-7, Acclamation, instead. Sequences actually fall into their 8-9 [3b]/Lk 24:13-35 own musical category due to rhyming couplets. Would you believe that Adeste Fideles (O Come, All Ye Faithful) was Thursday: Acts 3:11-26/Ps 8:2ab and 5, 6-7, 8-9 [2ab]/Lk 24:35-48 actually written as a Sequence?

Not long after, the Sequence for Our Lady of Sorrows (Stabat Mater) was added to the list. The Dies Next Sunday: Acts 5:12-16/Ps 118:2-4, 13-15, Irae met its end post-Vatican II, and is no longer used for 22-24 [1]/Rv 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19/Jn 20:19-31 All Souls Day.

Faith Formation News from Sheila, Birth-KG, Children’s Ministry, RCIA, [email protected] or 288-5528 x 101 On Easter Sunday we celebrate the fact that Jesus has risen from the dead and is alive! As you walk into the church, you realize that something wonderful has happened. A large bright candle shines out for all to see and the church is decorated with beautiful flowers, a sign of new life. To- day we will sing joyfully, "Alleluia, alleluia" as we thank God on Easter morning. Let us pray. Jesus, we thank you for the joy of the resurrection, when you rose from the dead and were filled with new life. Help us to remember that you suffered and died on the cross for us, so that one day we, too, will share with you the joy of everlasting life. Amen. St. Mary, Our Lady, pray for us!

News from Stacey, Grades 1-5, Family Ministry, [email protected] or 288-5528 x 108 An Easter Prayer: Lord, the resurrection of your Son has given us new life and renewed hope.

St. Juan Diego was a simple farmer and weaver who lived in modern day Mexico City. His act of obedience brought about the peaceful conversion of millions of people of Mexico. One morning when he was walking 15 miles to daily Mass, as was his custom, he passed by Tepeyac hill where he saw a beautiful Aztec princess and heard her calling out to him. She said she was the Virgin Mary and that she wished to have a Church built on that site. Obediently, Juan Diego went to the bishop as she had asked, and made the request. The bishop was skeptical, so he asked for proof that it was indeed the Virgin Mary who was making this request. Read the rest of the story next weekend. St. Juan Diego, pray for us! Amen,
