The Lord is risen, it is true! Through his death and Resurrection, Jesus affords us new life. We must now decide how we are going to live that new life. Will we answer the call from our Lord? If God is calling you to a Church vocation, call Fr. Andrew Lauricella at 716-847-5535.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone in the St. John Kanty

and St. Adalbert communities for your continued support and

friendship in supporting our great communities. May the joy of the

risen Christ be with you during this holy season, and throughout the

year.

Wesolego Alleluia, and May God bless you, and Mary love you!

Thank you for thinking of those most in need in Western New York and deciding to give them the gift of comfort, peace, healing, and hope. Together, with your generous help, we will continue to accomplish wonderful things! PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

For those who are suffering in the current outbreak of sickness that they may be healed, and for the happy repose of all who have died from this sickness in recent weeks, let us pray to the Lord. That in time of illness, our merciful and loving Father will strengthen our faith and trust in his goodness and divine providence, let us pray to the Lord. All four Gospels have an account of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Although the accounts differ

depending on the point each Evangelist wishes to make, two points of the Resurrection testimony are common to all four Gospels: 1) The tomb of Jesus was found empty and 2) The risen Christ appeared to certain persons. Matthew tells us that, as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary approached the tomb, there was a great earthquake, and “an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.” The guards stationed at the tomb were terrified and “became like dead men.” The angel then assured the women that Jesus “has been raised just as he said.” The women, “fearful yet overjoyed,” left the tomb as the angel instructed to tell the disciples. On their way, Jesus met and greeted the women who “embraced his feet and did him homage.” Jesus himself then sends the women to “tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” The mention of a great earthquake is peculiar to Matthew’s account of the Resurrection. Metaphorically, it indicates the coming of a new and final age brought about through the life, teaching, ministry, and particularly through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Notable also is the fact that Jesus’ first appearance is to women, the women who came to minister to him. Finally, not to be overlooked, is Jesus’ use of the word “brothers” to refer to his disciples. It seems to be indicative of a new and different relationship that Jesus has with them. The disciples are now entrusted with the message and mission of the risen Jesus Christ.
