Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord

Can you imagine that moment? Can you imagine the stomach drop with dizzying realization: "It's all true. All of it is true! The past three years weren't a dream that ended horribly wrong." Can you imagine all the doubts and despair of the past days chased away like smoke on the wind by a rolled up burial cloth? By an empty tomb?

It didn't start that way, of course. "'They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him.'" This frantic news from Mary Magdalene would have been another unexpected blow. After all that happened, now his body has been stolen? The love and devotion in Peter and John is apparent. They don't wait to collect more information or stop by the tomb when they have a chance. They run to the site. When is the last time you ran for something? This isn't a run for exercise, but a huffing and puffing bolt fueled by desperation. Can you imagine that mo- ment? The fear pounding in their temples, matching their accelerated heart rate. Can you imagine the impatient affection of John, who outruns Peter but refuses to enter the tomb alone? And then, upon entry, "He saw and believed."

This is the drama of our great feast! The promise that seemed lost has been found. The dead are raised. Long before the Easter eggs and ham, we are invited to meditate on this divine reality. We are invited to feel the desperation and joy of that first Easter Sunday deep in our bones. Because it is not just Mary's story. It's not Peter and John's story. It's our story. From the greatest defeat can come the most awe-inspiring victory, and this is true not just for our God, but for each one of us. He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Dear Parish Family-

As you know, I always like to keep you posted on good news from our school so you can be as proud of their hard work and accomplishments as I am. We have such a wonderful school community! Have you heard?

 100% of this year's eighth grade students are accepted into the private high school of their choice.  Holy Redeemer School’s eighth grade teacher, Ms. Jennifer Eller, won the Maryland State Catholic Teacher of the Year for the 2018 -2 019 school year by the Maryland State Council.  A Holy Redeemer eighth grade student earned 1st place at the Prince George’s County Spelling Bee, and will continue on to the state championship in May.  Our 2018 eighth grade graduates were awarded over $350,000 in high school scholarships.

As we enter our final quarter of the school year, we begin to think of the upcoming transitions. Our 8th graders prepare to move onto high school, everyone else moves up a year and a new batch of young chil- dren enter our Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and first grade. Of course, a few new students to jump in our other classes as well.

It's not too late to sign up for the new school year. Please let me know if your friends or family want to join our school community.

Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Easter.

Sincerely Yours in Christ, Fr. Mark APRIL 20 & 21, 2019
