3RD SUNDAY OF EASTER 3ER DOMINGO DE PASCUA
From Rick Hardy, Pastoral Associate
“As I Have Done for You, You Must Also Do”
This familiar phrase (John 13:15) is from the Gospel of
the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, celebrated on Holy Thursday
evening. I find it striking that the Gospel chosen for the
Mass of the Lord’s Supper is not about the institution of the
Eucharist, but it is about humility and service to others —
mostly humility.
In fact, in the Gospel of John, the familiar words of Je-
sus, “...this is my body... this is my blood...” are not seen at
all. The Gospel of John contains Jesus’s teaching about the
Eucharist, but this Gospel’s account of the Last Supper in-
cludes a dissertation on unity along with the account of the
washing of feet, without the institution narrative.
In these weeks following Easter Sunday, we hear of vari-
ous encounters with the Risen Christ on the part of the
apostles and others. It’s a time to consider the meaning of
what we celebrated in the Triduum. For me, it’s a time to
find the thread that unites all the events we have celebrated:
sharing a ritual meal, humility expressed in service to others,
sharing the Body and Blood of Christ, surrendering to the
Divine Will of God even to the point of unjust prosecution
and an undeserved death sentence, and, as is promised to
all who follow the teachings of Jesus, resurrection and eter-
nal life in glory. This — all of it — is Eucharist.
Bishop Bradley’s “Year of the Eucharist” is a bit over-
shadowed, these days, as we endure the “month or who
knows how long of quarantine.” Yet, our Bishop’s subtitle
for his letter, “Living the Mission of the Eucharist,” could
hardly be better suited to the Easter season in any year, but
especially in the unprecedented and unreal experience of
this Easter season.
The Year of the Eucharist offers us an opportunity to
deepen and broaden our understanding of the full, profound
meaning of this gift. If there is a “mission” in the Eucharist, it
is described in the Gospel of Holy Thursday: humble service
to others. The humility and the service are inseparable from
the Body and Blood that we share. So if we are to follow the
example of Jesus, we can see the Eucharist as something
we do, rather than simply something we receive.
It is the Eucharist that inspires and motivates us to do
good in the name of Christ. It is the Eucharist that gathers
us and sends us forth. And it is the Eucharist that fills us
with the Real Presence of the Risen Christ, whose surrender
to God’s will has made our salvation possible.

St. Peter Finds Ways to Serve
In this time of pandemic and lock-down, it’s encouraging to
see how the people of our parish have found ways to serve
others as we help each other through this difficult time.
BeFrienders
The BeFriender ministry, some six years old in our parish
but well-established nationwide, has found a wonderful way
to serve elderly parishioners: using a list of some 170 par-
ish members 70 years and older, the BeFrienders have
called each one — leaving quite a few voice messages, but
reaching many others. A few have requested to be called
more regularly. The others simply expressed appreciation
for being contacted by someone from the parish. Thanks,
BeFrienders, for this creative idea and meaningful out-
reach.
Knights of Columbus
The Knights have repackaged food supplies that would
have been used for fund-raisers and have distributed food
packages to parishioners and others in need within our
community. Some Knights also volunteer with Christian
Neighbors to deliver needed food to families in the sur-
rounding area.
Homebound Ministry
Obviously, there are no visits to the Homebound these
days. So our Homebound ministries, spearheaded by Rick
Parent, are delivering packets that include the parish bulle-
tin, prayers, and inspirational materials to the nursing
homes, who then see that the St. Peter parishioners within
each facility can keep in touch with the parish and know
that their parish remembers and
cares about them. Kudos to the
Homebound ministers for this initi-
ative, and to Rick for his hands-on
involvement. As you can see
from the photo, Rick has both St.
Peter and a can of sanitizing
wipes to keep this ministry safe
and on track!
LIturgy and Prayer
Since our Sunday Mass has been live-streamed, Geri Pan-
telleria, Nancy Maslanka, and others have been faithfully
working to ensure that this Liturgy comes to you with all the
beauty and meaning possible, given the limitations of the
technology and parish resources. Sister Maria prays the
Rosary live on Facebook every day at 4 pm as well.
Thanks to all who work to make this outreach possible.

Gospel Mediation
April 26, 2020 Third Sunday of Easter What does it take for our eyes to be opened? Every day, a
man laboriously walks down Main Street of town. With great
difficulty but graceful determination, he places one foot in
front of the other, uses a crudely made staff for support, and
walks. His pace is slow, but he walks. What does he hope
to see? Where does he want to go? What does he find? We
all walk through life. The type of “walking” life requires is not
always physical but is most assuredly emotional and spiritu-
al. We walk, we look, we encounter, and we seek. How we
do these things and what we actually find is determined by
what we carry and what we allow ourselves to discover
along the way.
If walking is too challenging for us, we may choose to iso-
late and stay alone. If we are afraid to walk, we may be-
come overly dependent on others providing for us and
abandon the journey. We can walk and pay attention only to
what is in front of our feet and never notice the immensity of
what is happening around us. The road is never the same
twice. The journey is always different. What kinds of things
do you notice as you walk through life? It seems that the
disciples of the Road to Emmaus missed a lot at first. We
do as well.
We are called to walk with purpose, to listen, and to notice
things that may not at first be apparent. We have to allow
the One who has a special claim on our soul to enlighten,
instruct, and inspire us. The incarnate mystery of God is
pulsating in and through all of creation, where the presence
of the Word who became flesh can be discovered. He has
been with us all along. How could we have missed Him?
Our journey brings us back to the breaking of the bread,
and something begins to stir within us. We begin to under-
stand, and things look differently. Bread, body, wine, and
blood bring us to see that everyone and everything is a
“Eucharistic” encounter. We become what we eat and we
see what we eat. We continue to walk. Our eyes are now
opened, and we recognize Him. Our hearts burn. Stay with
us. Please stay with us.
The article form Rick Hardy Continued Ministry: The Name of Service in the Church
There is a name for service that is done in the name of
Christ, on behalf of the Church, for the good of others: Min-
istry. While every good work is good, not every good work
is ministry. Ministry has the component of accountability. It
is a matching of gifts and needs, with accountability to the
Church, represented by the local bishop, the pastor of the
parish, or by someone designated by the pastor to offer
pastoral leadership within the community.
All the parts mentioned above must be present for au-
thentic ministry to take place: the minister (or would-be
minister) must have the skills that are needed; the Church
must recognize the need for those gifts, and then those gifts
must be placed at the service of the Church with accounta-
bility for what is done and how it is done.
The Church (meaning the local community, in this case)
may create new ministries as it discovers new gifts within its
members. The Church may also bid farewell to a ministry
when the need for it is no longer present, or when there are
no individuals who display the needed skills to perform it.
Ministries may focus both inward and outward. The litur-
gical ministries are primarily about keeping the Church alive
and strong through their support of the Liturgy. Outreach
ministries take the message of the Gospel to heart and look
to the community outside of the parish campus, offering
needed services to others.
What are you called to do, as a way of humbly serving
the Church, in the name of Christ, using the gifts you have
been given? In these days of quarantine, the opportunities
are unusual, and sometimes hidden. But there are people
all around us who need a word, a prayer, an inspiration,
some reassurance... Let us all be alert to ways we might
serve others in this confinement that we endure for the pro-
tection of the most vulnerable among us.

The Paschal candle is the first candle to be lit with a flame
from this sacred fire, representing the light of Christ coming
into the world. This represents the risen Christ, as a symbol
of light (life) dispelling darkness (death). As it is lit, the min-
ister may say words similar to: "The light of Christ, rising in
Glory, dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds."

Las lecturas de la semana del 26 de abril de 2020
Continúa la alegría y el ambiente pascual; el aroma de las
flores, la pila bautismal y el Cirio Pascual que nos alumbra
en cada celebración de la Eucaristía. Su presencia disipa
toda duda y oscuridad. La antífona de entrada que ilumina
la alabanza de los fieles: “Aclama a Dios, tierra entera.
Canten todo un himno a su nombre. Denle gracias y
alábenlo. Aleluya.” La narración del Evangelio de San Lu-
cas que invita a dejar la ceguera para vivir en la luz de Cris-
to; abandonando la incredulidad, profesando una fe firme
en el Resucitado. Júbilo total en este Tercer Domingo de
Pascua.
En el relato del camino de Emaús, Jesús se aparece a sus
desanimados discípulos haciéndose el desconocido. En el
camino, les explica las Escrituras y luego a su invitación de
quedarse con ellos porque ya cae la tarde, se sienta a la
mesa, toma el pan y lo bendice, lo parte y al dárselo a ellos
desaparece. Entonces el sentimiento aflora en ellos y se
dicen: “¡Con razón nuestro corazón ardía, mientras nos
hablaba por el camino y nos explicaba las Escritu-
ras!” (Lucas 24:32). ¿Reconocemos a Jesús cuando cami-
na con nosotros? ¿Sabemos cuándo parte el pan y nos lo
da? Por último, ¿Cuándo arde nuestro corazón al escuchar
las Escrituras? Son simples preguntas que llevan a una
conversión penetrante si se profundiza en ellas. En esta
línea se mueven las lecturas de hoy; confirmar la fe y la
esperanza. Acercarse al nuevo comienzo de la Pascua es
lo esencial. Jesús catequiza y evangeliza, a la misma vez,
a sus desalentados discípulos.
Quita su ceguera haciéndoles
ver como las Escrituras habían
anunciado ese escándalo de la
Cruz. ¡Aleluya!
Santa Catalina vivió en Italia durante el
siglo 14 al finales de una pandemia, la
peste bubónica. Ella se
dedicó a la oración y al cuidado de los
enfermos por muchos años. Fue tam-
bién un instrumento de reforma en la
iglesia de su tiempo. Su fiesta es este miércoles 29 de
abril, el aniversario de su muerte. Pedimos su
intercesión en este tiempo de pandemia y seguimos su
ejemplo de amor a los demás. Escribió en una carta:
Ten cuidado de no amar a tu prójimo para tu propio
beneficio, ya que eso no respondería al amor que Dios
te tiene. Porque como Dios te ha amado gratuitamente,
Él quiere que, como no puedes amarlo de esta manera,
lo hagas con tus vecinos, amándolos, como
dije, gratuitamente y no como una deuda ”.
¡Santa Catalina de Siena, ruega por nosotros!

La Adoración al Santísimo
La Misa en Facebook ¿¿Necesidades durante la
cuarentena??
El Obispo Bradley y
la Diócesis de
Kalamazoo
lanzarán una
campaña "Dejemos
que la Luz de Jesús
Brille" invitando a todos los cristianos a encender sus
luces para el Día de Pascua y durante la octava de
Pascua (y la temporada de Pascua si es posible) para
dar testimonio del Señor Resucitado y La Luz del
Mundo. Se les pide a las personas que decoren sus
ventanas/áreas exteriores según lo deseen con luces
brillantes, como en Navidad.
La gráfica "Dejemos que la Luz de Jesús Brille" está
disponible en formatos descargables para colocar en
ventanas para mostrar el mensaje en su vecindario.
Hay copias en San Felipe. Los recursos están
disponibles en la página web diocesana:
www.diokzoo.org/jesus-brille.
Las luces deben mantenerse durante la octava de
Pascua y, si es posible, durante toda la temporada de
Pascua de 50 días. Esperamos, a través de nuestro
esfuerzo conjunto, ser testigos visibles para que todo el
mundo sepa cuán felices y llenos de esperanza
estamos porque Jesús ha resucitado. Dejemos que la
Luz de Jesús Brille en todo el mundo a través de
nosotros.
Tendremos expuesto Jesús en el Santísi-
mo Sacramento del Altar este domingo 26
de abril y este miércoles 29 de abril desde
las 6:00 p.m.
