March 27th. Easter Sunday
"He is risen", with these words we celebrate the glorious miracle that You did for us all
on Easter when You rose from the dead, triumphant, fully alive and glorious.
Help us to rejoice as we see our eternal life journey being laid out for us by You.
Help us to feel the joy and peace that tells us we are fully free of the effects of sin
and now fully alive in Your love.
Thank You Jesus for Your love.
Thank You Jesus for Your doing of the fathers will for all mankind.
Amen and Amen.
Thank You Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday EASTER BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT (See 2 Cor 5:7)
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?lang=en&d=3/27/2016
"He is not here; He has been raised up." -Luke 24:6
Jesus is risen! "Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your
victory? O death, where is your sting?" (1 Cor 15:54-55) Praise Jesus, "the
Resurrection and the Life"! (Jn 11:25) A few years ago, I celebrated the
Easter Vigil at an inner-city church about to be closed. After the church's
lights were turned on following the blessing of the new fire and the
lighting of the Easter candle, I was shocked. There were almost as many
people in the small choir as in the rest of the congregation. It broke my
heart to see this parish in ruins - a parish which previously had two
assistant pastors and a school taught by ten nuns. Nevertheless, we
celebrated the Easter Vigil. We celebrated by faith, not by sight
(2 Cor 5:7). Although we looked and felt dead rather than alive in Christ,
we praised God as if the church had been filled.
On this first day of Easter, many of us, like the women at Jesus' tomb, are
"bewildered and trembling" (Mk 16:8). Right now, we don't look risen and
victorious. Our lives are "hidden now with Christ in God" (Col 3:3). However,
the fact is that through Baptism we "have been raised up in company with
Christ" (Col 3:1). Therefore, by faith let us live our Baptisms and be
witnesses for the risen Christ (see Acts 10:41, 42). Alleluia! He is risen!
Prayer: Father, when I renew my baptismal promises, may I make the deepest
act of faith in my life.
Promise: "Through baptism into His death we were buried with Him, so that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too
might live a new life." -Rm 6:4
Praise: "He is risen!" Alleluia to the victorious, risen Jesus!

-Matthew 28:10
Tuesday "OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?"

YOUTH AND MERCY
CELEBRATING THE HOLY YEAR
The Church is celebrating the Holy Year of Mercy, a time of grace, peace,
conversion and joy. It is meant for everyone: people of every age, from
far and near.
MERCY CAN'T BE STOPPED
There are no walls or distances which can prevent the Father's mercy from
reaching and embracing us. The Holy Door is now open in Rome and in all
the dioceses of the world.
THIS CONCERNS YOU
This grace-filled moment also concerns you, dear young people. I encourage
you to take an active part in this celebration and to realize that each of
you is a child of God.
(Message for the Jubilee of Mercy for young boys and girls, 1/6/16)
