March 31st Easter Sunday
Thank You, thank You Jesus, for giving us the right to someday come home and spend eternity in
heaven with the Triune God.
Jesus, You died that we might have life and have it fully.
Jesus, You rose to show us that there is an eternal life for all.
Your love is beyond all understanding and yet You, God, became one of us in all things but sin.
Then Lord, You carried all the sins of mankind to the cross, so that we could be free.
Thank You for all that You do and have done for us.
Thank You for continuing to love us, and helping us, and walking with us, till the day we come
home to You.
Amen and Amen.
Thanks to You, Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday I DO!
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/31/2013
"They killed Him, finally, hanging Him on a tree, only to have God raise Him up on the third day
and grant that He be seen, not by all, but only by such witnesses as had been chosen beforehand
by God." -Acts 10:40-41
Alleluia! Jesus is risen! We don't have to wait to die to share in the power of Jesus'
resurrection. In Baptism, we have already "been raised up in company with Christ" (Col 3:1).
Like John (Jn 20:8), Mary Magdalene (Jn 20:16), and the two disciples on the road to Emmaus
(Lk 24:31), we can meet the risen Christ and live the risen life today by having faith in Him.
Today, at every Mass in every Catholic church in the world, the Church calls us to express our
faith in the risen Lord by renewing our baptismal promises. If we truthfully answer "I do" to the
six questions of the baptismal promises, our lives will be revolutionized. Then, during Easter
Mass and Easter season, God's Word will burn in our hearts and purify us (Lk 24:32). We will
recognize the risen Christ in the breaking of the bread at Mass and in receiving Communion
(Lk 24:35). We will receive a new Pentecost, be renewed in our Confirmations, be filled with the
Holy Spirit, and live the risen life.
Easter is for right now. Easter is for those baptized into Christ's death and resurrection
(Rm 6:3-4), for those believing in the risen Lord and living their Baptisms at all cost. This
Easter day can be one of the greatest days of your life, if you accept the continuing grace of
the greatest day of your life, your baptismal day. Have Easter now!
Prayer: Father, risen Son, and Holy Spirit, "I DO!"
Promise: "Let us celebrate the feast not with the old yeast, that of corruption and wickedness,
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." -1 Cor 5:8
Praise: Jesus our Savior is risen! Alleluia forever!
Monday "WE ARE HIS WITNESSES" (Acts 2:32)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/1/2013
"Go and carry the news." -Matthew 28:10
Tuesday IMMERSION IN THE RISEN JESUS
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=4/2/2013
" 'What are we to do, brothers?' Peter answered: 'You must reform and be baptized, each one of
you, in the name of Jesus Christ.' " -Acts 2:37-38

This Week's Featured Brochure
Risen Life
http://presentationministries.com/brochures/RisenLife.asp
"Why do you search for the Living One among the dead? He is not here; He has been raised up."
-Luke 24:5-6
Alleluia! Jesus is risen! He's alive! "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your
sting?" (1 Cor 15:55) We as Christians have personally had the most overwhelming experience
imaginable. The One Who loves us so much, Who would do anything for us, was brutally murdered
by crucifixion. To have a loved one die is traumatic enough without it being a violent murder.
Amazingly, this Victim came out of the grave on the third day. We who love Him are
transformed from a shattered life to victory, from weeping to joy, and from mourning to
dancing (Ps 30:6, 12). Imagine a dead parent, spouse, or friend walking in the room right now.
This would be a shadow of what happens when we meet the risen Christ.
We may think we cannot meet the risen Jesus because ...........................

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2013-03.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
A PEACEMAKER ...
The peacemaker, according to Jesus' beatitude, is the one who seeks the good of the other,
the fullness of good in body and soul, today and tomorrow.
GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE
In the eyes of the world, those who trust in God and His promises often appear naive or
far from reality. Yet Jesus tells them that not only in the next life, but already in this
life,they will discover that they are the children of God , and that God has always been
and ever will be, completely on their side. They will understand that they are not alone,
because He is on the side of those committed to truth, justice and love.
"TRUE PEACE"
Once we accept Jesus Christ, God and man, we have the joyful experience of an immense
gift: the sharing of God's own life, the life of grace, the pledge of a fully blessed
existence. Jesus Christ ... grants us true peace, which is born of the trusting encounter
of man with God.
