TODAY’S READINGS First Reading-Acts 2:42-47 Psalm –118 Second Reading –1 Peter 1:3-9 Gospel–John 20:19-31
April 22nd & 23rd, 2017 San Pedro Catholic Church
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The origins of the custom of burning a lamp before the tabernacle are in Jewish worship, where a lamp called ner tamid or “eternal flame” burns before the ark in every synagogue. The ark contains the sacred scrolls of the Torah. The flame represents the menorah in the Temple, and therefore is never extinguished. In fact, the word “tabernacle” itself is derived from Hebrew, as taber is the Hebrew word for “tent,” and hearkens back to the forty years of wandering in the desert. The pilgrim people were sustained in hope by an awareness that God was not only in the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, but had quite literally “pitched his tent with them” in the shelter for the Ark of the Covenant. Some artisans have used this theme of “ark” or “tent” to design a tabernacle for the Blessed Sacrament. In Christian practice, Anglicans and Catholics use a sanctuary lamp to point toward the presence of the reserved sacrament, and Lutherans use it as a sign of God’s presence in the house of worship, but not necessarily as a clue that the Eucharist is reserved. Why, even in an age of electric light, is the sanctuary lamp an oil light or candle? Perhaps not only to point to Christ, the light of the world, but also to point to sacrifice. For the light to exist, there must be sacrifice. The oil or wax is transformed into light, just as those who pray here, or who will receive viaticum from here, are called to transformation in Christ.
A SEASON OF JOY “They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42). This first line of today’s first reading sets the tone as this fifty-day celebration of Easter opens before us. Today we listen to the teachings of three apostles—Luke, Peter, and John—who remind us that even though we have not seen Christ, we nonetheless are filled with joy as we place our belief in his saving death and resurrection. Each week during the Easter season we will gather as a community of faith to find strength and support from our God and from one another. Each week we will gather to break bread and offer the great prayer of thanksgiving, actions that will manifest the very presence of the risen Christ in our midst. Let us be open to the wonders of this season of joy.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month Reporting Abuse Is The Right Thing To Do
Child abuse can happen anywhere, even in the home, and for families placed in this horrible situation, reporting abuse can be very difficult, but it is critical to do so in order to protect children. Adults must first act to stop the abuse by being alert to
warning signs. If discovered, report abuse to the proper authorities. To report abuse or the suspicion of abuse call DCF at 1-800-96 ABUSE (1-800-962-2873)

You Can Be An Angel And Our Parish can Be A Host Of Angels San Pedro Church is endeavoring to implement a parish-based ministry to assist pregnant mothers in need. You are invited to attend an informational meeting on the evening of Thursday May 18th at 6:30 pm in the parish hall to learn about the extraordinary ministry known nationally as
The Gabriel Project and approved and recommended by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Gabriel Project is a marvelous way to show our community that we Catholics see in the conception of each child a fresh expression of God’s unfailing love.
That we care about pregnant mothers in need and that there is no reason for any mother to feel that she is helpless and alone. During the informational meeting, you will learn how you can participate as an
“angel” assigned to help a mom in need and how our parish community would, through prayer and action, assure Mom that she has our love and the love of Christ by providing her with spiritual,
emotional and material support to help meet her needs.
