KNOW YOUR LITURGY
Sundays of Easter: There are actually seven Sundays
of Easter (including, in this country, the Solemnity of the
Ascension of the Lord). Why seven? Because Easter is
the most important celebration in our Church year. It
could be said that Easter is the reason we exist as a
Church. And one Sunday is not nearly enough time to
celebrate all that the resurrection means.
Throughout these seven weeks, our first readings come,
not from the Old Testament, but from the Acts of the
Apostles—which tell the story of the growth of the early
Church. We learn about the enthusiasm Jesus’ Disciples
had for their faith and their joy in spreading this good
news. The disciples model for us the way in which we
are asked to live our lives as followers of Jesus: to learn
from Him, to live as He taught, to share what we have
learned with others.
April 15, 2018 - 3rd
Sunday of Easter “Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and fright-
ened…” – LUKE 24:36-37
Throughout the day we have many opportunities to “see
the face of Jesus” in others and to “be the face of Jesus”
to others. Do we take that opportunity to provide
“peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of what
others will think of us and do nothing? Pray for the
strength to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-
centered” life.

JUSTICE & PEACE
As spring weather is finally here, there’s still time to join
any of the unique local CSAs. We are blessed to have
this diversity in our community. CSA is Community
Supported Agriculture which connects you directly with
the farmer. You join before the season begins, thereby
helping the grower know how much to produce. Most
CSAs offer full or half shares meaning you get a box of
produce every week or every other week. Some have
special spring shares, monthly shares, etc.
Please look them up at their websites to see their unique
offerings. Besides garden produce, there are growers
who offer flowers, tree and bush fruits, meat, mush-
rooms and eggs. www.hilltopcommunityfarm.org is near
LaValle/Lake Redstone; www.greenergrass.farm is near
Lime Ridge; neuerthwormfarm.com is near Reedsburg,
orangecatcommunityfarm.com is near Reedsburg; mead-
owlarkcommunityfarm.com is between LaValle /
Wonewoc, Weston Schools Community Garden – call
Dana Neumann at 983-2380. Most have several delivery
sites.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
Our next meeting is at the store: 675 South Albert
Ave on
May 1@ 7 p.m.
April 15 - Third Sunday of Easter:
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus explains the
meaning of the scriptures. Like the disci-
ples, when we offer and receive forgiveness our hearts burn
because we encounter the risen Christ within us.
Have you considered answering the call to “help the
poor find forgiveness and healing in their life” by join-
ing the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?
Have you recently had a baby, or soon to deliver your
precious one? Consider learning how to navigate the
postpartum transition to better understand when your fer-
tility returns by attending the Couple to Couple
League’s(CCL’s) special Postpartum Class that begins
Monday, April 30th, 7-9 p.m. at the Instructors’ home in
Reedsburg. If you have already learned CCL’s sympto-
thermal method or are currently learning the CCL meth-
od, register here:
https://registration.madisondiocese.org/nfp/?f= and choose
the Couple to Couple League Postpartum class, or email:
[email protected] for more information on the class.
Nursing babies are welcome!
Sacred Heart Church | April 15, 2018 5
Third Sunday of Easter
Glory
God of our fathers,
by raising Jesus from the dead, you have
glorified your Son and author of life.
We offer you thanks and praise for your
countenance shining upon us with this
great gift of love. Like the Apostles in the
Upper Room, give us your peace as we
stand in amazement of your glory.
With hearts transformed, urge us to go forth preaching Jesus’
Holy Name and bear witness to his healing love and peace.
Bind up our wounds so that, bearing the marks of the cross,
we may be found strong in faith, persevering in hope, and
filled with the fire of your love. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Sunday, April 15, 2018 – Witnesses
Today’s Readings: Acts 3:13 –15, 17–19; Psalm 4:2, 4, 7– 8,
9; 1 John 2:1– 5a; Luke 24:35 – 48. The last line of today’s
Gospel states, “You are witnesses of these things.” This state-
ment is an invitation to reflect on all that Christ has revealed
to us. His passion, death, and Resurrection are at the core of
our witness because in Baptism, we were immersed into the
Paschal Mystery of Christ.
After the Resurrection, Jesus encounters the disciples
and tries to help them understand and unpack their lived expe-
rience before his death, what his death means, and the new life
promised in the Resurrection. The events that unfolded in Je-
rusalem over the past few days have dramatically affected
their lives and the lives of all believers. We, too, are witnesses
to these things. Think about all the times your encounters with
Christ transformed your heart. Often we don’t notice these
encounters at the time, but upon reflection our hearts burn
with the zeal and presence of Christ. Because we have seen
and heard the Good News, we cannot be silent. Our life in
Christ demands that we work for justice and facilitate peace.
The love of Christ compels us to reach out to the poor and
marginalized to hear their stories and work to meet their
needs.
The verse that precedes the Gospel, asks Jesus to
“make our hearts burn” as he speaks to us in Scripture. How
might you listen to the Word this week?
This Week at Home Monday, April 16 – Stephen Faces Trial
The account about Stephen’s trial is similar to the trial Jesus
faced when accused of blasphemy. Some falsely witnessed
against him. The Spirit was with Stephen as he debated with
those who were against him. The early Christians, along with
their message of Jesus, were not always welcomed. Even to-
day, Christians and other religious groups face persecution.
Let us pray for those who face trial and hardship because of
their faith. Today’s Readings: Acts 6:8 –15; Psalm 119:23 – 24,
26 – 27, 29 – 30; John 6:22 – 29.
Tuesday, April 17 – Martyr
The First Reading provides an account of Stephen, the
Church’s first martyr. Place yourself at the scene and try to
imagine what it must have been like to hear Stephen preach.
Would you have received his message or covered your ears?
Stephen witnessed God’s abundant love in his care for the
community, even though they struggled to hear the Good
News. Nourished by the Bread of Life, the Church continues
to go forth sharing the Gospel. Is there a modern-day martyr
you could read about? Today’s Readings: Acts 7:51 — 8:1a;
Psalm 31:3cd – 4, 6 and 7 and 8a, 17 and 21ab; John 6:30 –
35.
Wednesday, April 18 – Sing with Joy
Today’s Psalm captures the spirit of the Easter season. All of
creation sings with joy to God for all his marvelous deeds.
With the busyness of our lives, it may be hard to remain fo-
cused on Easter. If we believe that Christ has saved us from
sin and death, then how can we not rejoice and raise our voic-
es in praise? For your prayer at mealtime today, sing your fa-
vorite hymn of praise. Today’s Readings: Acts 8:1b – 8; Psalm
66:1– 3a, 4 – 5, 6 –7a; John 6:35 – 40.
Thursday, April 19 – Catechesis
The account of Philip and the eunuch is a story of conversion.
The eunuch is reading from Scripture, but is unaware of the
meaning the story holds. Philip, moved by the Spirit, goes to
him and begins to teach him about the Christ who gave his life
for the life of the world. Filled with faith, the man asks for
Baptism. Each of us is called to teach the faith. Today, pray
for catechists, teachers, and those in the Christian initiation
process. Today’s Readings: Acts 8:26 – 40; Psalm 66:8 – 9, 16 –
17, 20; John 6:44 – 51.
Friday, April 20 – Conversion of Paul
The story of Paul’s conversion is beautiful. One striking image
is that of the scales falling from his eyes. Our Lenten journey
has allowed us to contemplate the sin that blinds us to faith.
During Easter, are there still “scales” that need to fall from our
eyes so that we might see and believe? Might we be called to
assist others on their faith journey, just as Ananias assisted
Paul? Paul’s encounter with Christ changed him so much that
he heeded the call to go to all nations proclaiming the Gospel.
In prayer, close your eyes and put yourself in Paul’s place and
visualize his conversion. What did you learn? Today’s Read-
ings: Acts 9:1– 20; Psalm 117:1bc, 2; John 6:52 – 59.
Saturday, April 21 – Spirit and Life
In the Gospel, Jesus notes that his words are spirit and life.
This may seem abstract, but consider the Liturgy of the Word
at Mass. The Word proclaimed is the living Word that reso-
nates in our hearts and stirs us from our complacency. It is the
Good News of Jesus Christ that enlivens our hearts and fills us
with the Spirit so that we may not only have everlasting life
but also share with others the saving Word. How can you
make God’s Word more a part of your life? Today’s Readings:
Acts 9:31– 42; Psalm 116:12 –13, 14 –15, 16 –17; John 6:60 –
69.
