Resurrection

of the Lord

APRIL 16, 2017

Acts 10:34a,37-43; Colossians 3:1-4;

John 20:1-9

The message of the primitive Churchwas simple: Jesus was the anointed of God(the Messiah) who went about doing good,but was killed by evil people. But Godraised him up. In him we have the forgive-ness of our sins, and we shall share in hisresurrection!

Today’s first reading is a sermon byPeter to those who would be the firstGentile or non-Jewish converts toChristianity. The risen Jesus was not seenby everyone, but was seen by many reliablewitnesses.

The second reading reminds us that weshare in the Lord’s resurrection by ourbaptism. We have died to sin; we have beenraised up to grace. So we must now livelives which seek what is above, rather thanwhat is below.

Through our baptism we were called toperfection; most of us have failed. But during Lent we have done penance; wehave experienced the Lord’s mercy. Nowwe renew our baptismal promises that weshall be dead to sin but alive to God inChrist Jesus.

The Gospel seems simple and straight-forward. Mary Magdalene tells Peter andJohn that she has seen the risen Lord. Theyrun to the tomb. The younger, “beloveddisciple,” outruns Peter, but waits for him.They see the burial garments.

So why do they believe? First of all,because of the empty tomb. The Romanshad stationed a guard there so that no onemight steal the body of Jesus; yet the tombwas empty. Second, if someone stole thebody, they would not take time or troubleto strip off the burial garments.

But third, in the original language, thesentence which we translate “wrappingson the ground” is much more profound!It should be translated that they saw the burial garments “still in their folds” or“still with the contour of the body.” Ifsomeone had ripped off the burialgarments, they would not maintain thecontour of a body! But here it was, as if thebody had simply evaporated! There couldbe no other explanation except the resur-rection!

So what does this mean for you? IfChrist Jesus has risen, the faith is true.There is life eternal. There is forgiveness --provided that we follow the Lord with allour heart. Let us renew the fervor of ourfaith and be loyal to Jesus Christ each day.

Change in Parish Office Hours The Parish Office will be temporarily reducing the open operating hours to 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. from April 11 – May 19. This change is necessary because BarbGirouard, one of our Administrative Assistants, will be out for a medical procedure. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, again it is only temporary.

Fr. Don’s Doodling’s Do you think that Easter is a greater celebration

of our Faith than Christmas? Well you should. Of course, Christmas is outstanding. For Jesus Christ, the Son of God to come into our world and be born into our human condition is a mystery beyond our wildest dreams. And you could even argue that before Jesus could have died and risen from the dead he first had to be born a human being. Right.

And yet, the Church treats Easter as supreme. It is the highest feast of the year and the celebration of the heart and center of our Catholic Christian Faith. Jesus Christ is the only one who ever rose from the dead. Oh, some have come back to life after death, including Lazarus, whom we heard about in the gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Lent. But Lazarus and any others like him were resuscitated, which is totally different from resurrection.

Anyone who is resuscitated will one day die again. But the very wonder of Jesus’ resurrection is that he lives forever. And that of course, is the hope and the promise afforded to us who put our faith in Him. We know that, as Sacred Scripture tells us, “we shall all be changed, in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:52). And St. Paul goes on to say, “Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? …thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:54-57)

Now that is something to celebrate! So maybe you don’t shower others with cards on Easter, and maybe you don’t exchange many gifts or spend the money that you do at Christmas. And that’s all right. But those tangible things ought not be the measure of the importance of either Easter or Christmas.

I would suggest that, in terms of our Faith-life, a better measure of the importance of these two feasts is what precedes them. I’m pretty sure that most of us put more of ourselves into observing Lent in a spiritual way than we do Advent. During Advent we are more occupied with the hustle and bustle of shopping and parties than we are with preparing spiritually. Whereas during Lent I think most of us at least try to do something spiritual like pray more, make some sacrifices, or avoid some sins or selfishness.

And if we do anything like this, even if we are less than faithful about it, we find that Easter has a very special glow about it. Jesus rising from the dead is now in some way more tangible, more real, more present for us.

Some have also told me that they have put more effort into coming to Sunday Mass more faithfully. Clearly that is a great resolution to be held on to all year

long, especially since we really celebrate Christ’s resurrection every single Sunday of the year. Every Sunday, then, is a little Easter. That alone shows you that our Church considers Easter to be greater than Christmas, even though this is not a competition.

That said, I wish you all a Blessed and Happy Easter! Together let’s celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection today and every Sunday.

Workshop for Liturgical Ministers On Wednesday, May 10, we will have a special workshop for those involved in liturgical ministry, in particular for readers, greeters and ushers. It will be offered twice: at 4:00 p.m. and at 7:00 p.m. The same material will be given at each session, so you can attend either one. In fact, anyone who wishes to come is welcome to attend this workshop even if they are not involved in these ministries, as we can all learn more about the celebrations of the Sacred Liturgy. But we really want EVERYONE involved in these ministries to be present for one of these two sessions. The presenters will be Eliot Kapitan, Director of Worship for the diocese, and Vicki Compton, Director of Missions for the diocese. So please put this on your calendar. We hope to see you here.

Synod Survey We NEED Your Input! Our diocese is offering each of us a wonderful opportunity to provide input in creating and establishing the future direction of our diocese. Your input is valued, needed, and important in providing this spiritual direction by completing a questionnaire/survey. A copy of the survey questions was included in the church bulletin several weeks ago and can be completed by going online at www.dio.org/synod. Additional survey copies will be located at the entrance doors of the church. Written responses can be dropped off at the parish rectory or sent to the Catholic Pastoral Center, Attention: Synod Survey, 1615 West Washington St., Springfield, Illinois, 62702-4757. During this year, the fourth synod, (religious term for meeting), is being held with a prayer service that started in January and concluding in November 2017 with a closure Mass. This will only be the fourth synod held in the history of our diocese with the last one being held over fifty years ago. Each parish in our diocese has been allowed a representative to attend the various synod meetings and activities and will be able to vote when needed. The questionnaire responses will be used to provide direction and focus for the synod and that is why it is extremely important to complete the survey. Jan Zeidler is our parish

representative for the synod and will be attending the various meetings and activities. She can be contacted at rzjz2010@hotmail.com or at 217-779-0290 if you have any questions. PLEASE take the time to respond and complete the diocesan survey by May 2, 2017. Your input is crucial in providing a good survey response in creating the future direction for all parish communities in our diocese. As a Lenten offering, please take the time to pray and reflect on your faith. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

long, especially since we really celebrate Christ’s resurrection every single Sunday of the year. Every Sunday, then, is a little Easter. That alone shows you that our Church considers Easter to be greater than Christmas, even though this is not a competition.

That said, I wish you all a Blessed and Happy Easter! Together let’s celebrate the wonder of Christ’s resurrection today and every Sunday.

Workshop for Liturgical Ministers On Wednesday, May 10, we will have a special workshop for those involved in liturgical ministry, in particular for readers, greeters and ushers. It will be offered twice: at 4:00 p.m. and at 7:00 p.m. The same material will be given at each session, so you can attend either one. In fact, anyone who wishes to come is welcome to attend this workshop even if they are not involved in these ministries, as we can all learn more about the celebrations of the Sacred Liturgy. But we really want EVERYONE involved in these ministries to be present for one of these two sessions. The presenters will be Eliot Kapitan, Director of Worship for the diocese, and Vicki Compton, Director of Missions for the diocese. So please put this on your calendar. We hope to see you here.

Synod Survey We NEED Your Input! Our diocese is offering each of us a wonderful opportunity to provide input in creating and establishing the future direction of our diocese. Your input is valued, needed, and important in providing this spiritual direction by completing a questionnaire/survey. A copy of the survey questions was included in the church bulletin several weeks ago and can be completed by going online at www.dio.org/synod. Additional survey copies will be located at the entrance doors of the church. Written responses can be dropped off at the parish rectory or sent to the Catholic Pastoral Center, Attention: Synod Survey, 1615 West Washington St., Springfield, Illinois, 62702-4757. During this year, the fourth synod, (religious term for meeting), is being held with a prayer service that started in January and concluding in November 2017 with a closure Mass. This will only be the fourth synod held in the history of our diocese with the last one being held over fifty years ago. Each parish in our diocese has been allowed a representative to attend the various synod meetings and activities and will be able to vote when needed. The questionnaire responses will be used to provide direction and focus for the synod and that is why it is extremely important to complete the survey. Jan Zeidler is our parish

representative for the synod and will be attending the various meetings and activities. She can be contacted at rzjz2010@hotmail.com or at 217-779-0290 if you have any questions. PLEASE take the time to respond and complete the diocesan survey by May 2, 2017. Your input is crucial in providing a good survey response in creating the future direction for all parish communities in our diocese. As a Lenten offering, please take the time to pray and reflect on your faith. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Change in Parish Office Hours The Parish Office will be temporarily reducing the open operating hours to 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. from April 11 – May 19. This change is necessary because BarbGirouard, one of our Administrative Assistants, will be out for a medical procedure. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, again it is only temporary.

Fr. Don’s Doodling’s Do you think that Easter is a greater celebration

of our Faith than Christmas? Well you should. Of course, Christmas is outstanding. For Jesus Christ, the Son of God to come into our world and be born into our human condition is a mystery beyond our wildest dreams. And you could even argue that before Jesus could have died and risen from the dead he first had to be born a human being. Right.

And yet, the Church treats Easter as supreme. It is the highest feast of the year and the celebration of the heart and center of our Catholic Christian Faith. Jesus Christ is the only one who ever rose from the dead. Oh, some have come back to life after death, including Lazarus, whom we heard about in the gospel for the Fifth Sunday of Lent. But Lazarus and any others like him were resuscitated, which is totally different from resurrection.

Anyone who is resuscitated will one day die again. But the very wonder of Jesus’ resurrection is that he lives forever. And that of course, is the hope and the promise afforded to us who put our faith in Him. We know that, as Sacred Scripture tells us, “we shall all be changed, in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:52). And St. Paul goes on to say, “Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? …thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor. 15:54-57)

Now that is something to celebrate! So maybe you don’t shower others with cards on Easter, and maybe you don’t exchange many gifts or spend the money that you do at Christmas. And that’s all right. But those tangible things ought not be the measure of the importance of either Easter or Christmas.

I would suggest that, in terms of our Faith-life, a better measure of the importance of these two feasts is what precedes them. I’m pretty sure that most of us put more of ourselves into observing Lent in a spiritual way than we do Advent. During Advent we are more occupied with the hustle and bustle of shopping and parties than we are with preparing spiritually. Whereas during Lent I think most of us at least try to do something spiritual like pray more, make some sacrifices, or avoid some sins or selfishness.

And if we do anything like this, even if we are less than faithful about it, we find that Easter has a very special glow about it. Jesus rising from the dead is now in some way more tangible, more real, more present for us.

Some have also told me that they have put more effort into coming to Sunday Mass more faithfully. Clearly that is a great resolution to be held on to all year
