WelcomeWelcome to St. Joseph in Farmington!

We believe every individual is on a journey to become closer to God – where you are on that journey is unique. We seek to welcome each person regardless of the stage of their spiritual life, their struggles, failings, or faults. Join us each week as we worship God in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

God is working in your life. He is guiding you on this journey in life. This journey is never meant to be one you take on your own. We hope and pray that you will reach out, sign up and attend any of our parish activities. This journey is meant to be shared. Thank you for coming.

Join us so we can journey together toward a closer relationship with Jesus Christ!

Easter changes everything. Having been raised from the dead, Jesus shatters the frightful images that haunt humanity. Betrayal, torture, crucifixion, death, burial--these terrors pale in the brilliant glory of Jesus resurrected. Today’s psalm guides our response to God’s power: “it is wonderful in our eyes.” Today is indeed a day for wonder, for gasping in astonishment at Jesus resurrection. For all of human history, death had been final. In the Acts of the Apostles, though, Peter testifies that Jesus, who was publicly executed, was raised to life by God. John’s Gospel admits that the disciples “did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.” Even Jesus’ closest friends were not expecting this innovation: life after death. In response to the Easter miracle, Paul tells us to become “a fresh batch of dough.” Everything, even our very selves, must become new. Easter changes everything.

TREE OF LIFESometimes the story of Easter seems so familiar that we yawn at its old-fashioned quaintness. The “Good News” is, after all, a couple thousand years old. Today, however, our readings remind us that we are a fresh creation in the risen Lord. Today, we marvel at the newness of Jesus. Today, we praise God for the startling way he chooses to unlock eternal life for us.When Peter speaks in the Acts of the Apostles, he calls Jesus‘ cross a “tree.” Peter’s word choice invites us to remember another tree in scripture, the tree from which Adam and Eve selfishly ate the forbidden fruit. That tree in the Garden of Eden brought death to the human race; Jesus’ tree brings life. Peter explains the purpose of our new life: we must believe in Jesus and ask forgiveness for our sins. We must leave behind the selfish disobedience of the tree of death and embrace the way of self-sacrifice Jesus modeled on the tree of life.

WHERE DEATH GOES TO DIEAnother image that Easter makes new for us is the tomb. Cemeteries rarely bring us joy. No one considers a graveyard the perfect place to celebrate. And yet Jesus‘ burial place is the happy location of the disciples final conversion to their new way of life. Standing in the tomb where they had placed Jesus corpse a few days earlier, Peter and John come to understand the fullness of God’s glory. God’s stunning, life-giving power makes a mockery of death.This transformation offers hope for our daily lives. Although Christ is risen, human life still faces suffering and heartache. At our lowest moments, we may be tempted to lose faith in God. Easter reminds us that Jesus himself faced the terrors life sends our way and conquered them. When we stand in dark places that feel like our very own tombs, Jesus is with us. The Lord transforms darkest death into new life.

Today’s Readings: Acts 10:34a, 37-43; Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23; Col 3:1-4 or 1 Cor 5:6b-8; Jn 20:1-9

In Pursuit of My IdentityHudson Byblow, a well-known speaker and author, discusses his own experience of same-sex attraction and transgender inclinations. He invites others to experience the fulfillment and freedom he discovered when he came to the profound realization that his most fundamental identity is found in Christ.

Listen as Hudson shares how this deeper understanding of his identity has allowed him to live a life motivated not so much by rules but by love for God, and himself.

Games for EasterEaster egg hunt with a kid-friendly twistWho isn’t familiar with the traditional Easter egg hunt? But Meagan Daoust offers this kid-friendly twist (which originally appeared in Fill That Easter Basket with Some Catholic Goodness)

Foot racesRe-enact today’s Gospel reading with foot races. If you have kids of different ages, give the younger kids a head start, or even things up by having a sack race, or having everyone race like different animals (hop like a bunny, slither like a snake).

Egg rollsOnce your Easter egg hunt is over, do an Easter egg roll. There are different ways to do this, including rolling eggs down a slope (the one that goes furthest wins), or rolling them across the lawn with a spoon.

Egg tossingEgg tossing is not only an Easter tradition around the world, but also a sport regulated by the World Egg Throwing Federation. As you might imagine, the competition usually involves throwing or tossing an egg, either into a soft lawn or to a teammate; the person or team who manages to throw the egg farthest without breaking it wins.

Fly a kiteIn Bermuda, people fly homemade kites on Easter to symbolize Christ rising from the dead.

Thanksgiving Prayer after Mass

Prayer of St. Thomas AquinasI thank you, holy Lord, almighty Father, eternal God, who deigned to feast me, sinful and unworthy servant, with the precious body and blood of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, not for any merit of mine, but only because of your merciful goodness. And I pray that this Holy Communion, far from condemn-ing me to punishment, may bring about my pardon and salvation, encompassing me with the armor of faith and the shield of a good will. By it let my vices be done away, all lustful desires extinguished. May it advance me in charity, patience, humility, obedi-ence, and every other virtue. Let it be strong defense against the wiles of all my enemies, visible and invis-ible, allaying for me every distur-bance of flesh and spirit, binding me firmly to you, the one true God, and bringing my last hour to a happy close. I pray, too, that it may be your pleasure to call my sinful self one day to that banquet, won-derful past all telling, where you, with your Son and the Holy Spirit, feast your saints with the vision of yourself, who are true light, the fulfillment of all desires, the joy that knows no ending, gladness unalloyed, and perfect bliss: through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Our food pantry serves people in the St. Francois county regardless of race,

sex, national origin, religion, or age.

Today as we celebrate the feast of Easter, like Mary Magdalene and the Disciples we find the challenge of also seeing and believing the resurrection.

6. Each hour you spend with Jesus will deepen his divine

peace in your heart."Come to me all of you who are weary and find life burdensome and I will refresh you..." "Cast all

of you anxieties upon the one who cares for you..." "My Peace is My Gift to you." (Mt 11:28; Pt

5:7; Jn 14:17)We are in need of 2 adorers for First

Friday Adoration from 10:30-11:30. Please call the parish office to sign up.

As you put your gift into the St. Vincent de Paul

envelope you help those who are poor and hungry

to “see and believe” in the Resurrection.
