EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

“Open Wide the Doors to Christ” “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad!” I wish you and your families a most Blessed Easter Day and a grace-filled Easter Season! May you experience the joy and the peace of the Risen Lord. And may you come to appreciate more deeply his presence with us at all times: in our deepest pain and in our greatest joy, in times of trouble and in times of triumph, in times of doubt and in times of certainty, in times of darkness and in times of new insight. May all of us be truly grateful for the gift of Christ’s enduring presence, most especially in the sacrament of the Eucharist we receive each week, as we celebrate the Paschal Mystery (Christ’s passion, death, resurrection, and ascension). Indeed, “let us rejoice and be glad!”

This Easter has certainly been one filled with new life – new sacramental life – new life in Christ. At the Easter Vigil, five young ladies between the ages of 7 and 13 were fully initiated into the Catholic Faith through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. In addition, three children, ages 5 to 6, (siblings of those being fully initiated) were baptized. And, Father Jim received delegation from Bishop Cistone to confer the sacrament of Confirmation on two young boys (ages 9 and 11 – cousins of some of the newly initiated); they also received First Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. We also had one infant baptism, a brother to two of the newly initiated. Congratulations to Cheyenne, Gabriela, Nadia, Raven, Aliyana, Elicia, Olivia, Jaedynn, Raymond, James, and Julian (and their families)! This is a most special time for all of you. Saint John Paul II Parish Community warmly welcomes you as the newest members of the faith community. Please be assured of our continued support and prayer as you grow in your love of Jesus and the Church and come to learn more about our faith throughout your years of faith formation. We look forward to your presence at Eucharist with us each Sunday.

I would like to extend a special thank you to those who helped out in any way to make our Holy Week and Easter liturgies solemn and prayerful experiences. (Continued on next page.)

PAUL TURNER

The first sound of the Easter season is the crackling of new fire. Even before the presider greets the people, the Easter flame burns to warm the hearts of believers and to fascinate our eyes, which long to behold the glory of God. The Easter candle that leads the procession into the church at the Easter Vigil becomes a dominant symbol for the season. Tall, bright, decorative, stately, it creates the first light for the faithful and dispels the darkness that belies our sins. The Easter candle first announces the news of the resurrection, followed by the Glory to God, the Alleluia, the Gospel, the homily, and, of course, the Eucharist. All join to make the same proclamation. Christ is risen! So big is this message that it takes fifty days to celebrate. That Easter candle burns in our churches every day during those seven weeks, proclaiming: Christ is risen, and we too may rise! The Easter candle appears in our liturgy on two other very significant occasions: baptisms and funerals. Whenever infants are baptized, we light the Easter candle. The resurrection of Christ foreshadows our own resurrection. Baptism incorporates us into the body of Christ and gives us a share in his resurrection. Whenever the baptismal waters are poured, the Easter candle burns bright. Parents and godparents light a baptismal candle from the Easter candle. They accept the responsibility of keeping the flame of faith alive in the heart of the newly baptized. Parents carry this candle home, where it may shine on baptismal anniversaries to symbolize the first news of the risen Christ. We also light the Easter candle at funerals. In the midst of our grief, we call upon the symbols that enliven our faith. Several images of baptism reappear at the funeral: the sprinkling with holy water, the placing of a white pall (like a white garment) over the coffin and the lighting of the Easter candle. Christ rose from the dead so that we too might pass from death to life. Every death reminds us of Easter. And every Easter gives us hope that death is not the end, but the passage from darkness to eternal light.
