From the Desk
of Our Pastor
In our bulletin today, on page 6, there is a informational
flyer and registration form for “Bridges Out of Poverty” a
workshop sponsored by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, right
here at St. Timothy’s. The workshop is in keeping with the
Society’s vision to end poverty through systematic change,
one person, one neighborhood, one community. Bridge’s participants will gain a deeper understanding of those in
poverty and will be more open to working with individuals
and families directly, as well as, finding ways to help them
break through the cycle of poverty. I believe that this will
be a good and convenient way to learn more about
and treating the problem of poverty. Fr.Dick
Sacrament of Confirmation
Attention Adults, that have never received the Sacrament of
Confirmation, If you would like to receive this Sacrament there will
be a series of learning sessions. To register please contact Jim Schrader
at: [email protected] or call the parish office at:
at 301-845-8043 ext. 100. Confirmation will be held on Sunday,
May 15 (Pentecost) at the Cathedral in Baltimore.
Foster Parents
Catholic Charities Family Services is reaching out to individuals and
families who would be interested in becoming foster parents. The
ultimate goal of the program is to provide children and adolescents
with a trained, caring and dedicated family to live with, while their
physical and psychological needs are met and a plan is made for their
future care. Children in the program have a variety of issues related to
physical and mental health. Many children are eventually reunited with
their birth family and some go on to be adopted. If you are interested
in opening the warm environment of your home, please contact:
Ms. Chantal Lake, LGSW, at 410-685-2363 ext. 117 or email
Stations of Light & Potluck Dinner
Did you know there are Stations that can be prayed and celebrated
from the Resurrection of Christ until Pentecost? Come experience
the Easter Season with us as we offer these Stations on Friday
April 15 at 11:30 (prior to noon Mass) and again at 4:30pm in the
Church. All are welcome to come together for a potluck supper at
5:30 in the breakout rooms. Sign ups are on the website and in the
gathering space. This is a whole Parish event, all ages
welcome!
Our Military Corner
Ranger Rosary: For those in VA hospitals and nursing homes, the
road to recovery is steep, unpredictable and often with setbacks as
they struggle to regain what they have lost. They need to know they
have our prayers for their fullest possible recovery and that we
appreciate their sacrifice. Each week the entire Ranger Rosary
Ministry sends 600 rosaries and prayer cards to some of the 180 VA
hospitals and nursing homes. There is a great comfort and hope in
the prayers of the rosary. All will feel Mary's powerful intercession as
she brings their needs to her Son Jesus. Come to the Rosary Ministry
on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at either 10 AM or 7 PM.
For more information about the Ministry or about sending a rosary to
an active member of the military, please contact Claudette Lucas @
301.663.3871 or [email protected]
Date Night Challenge: Comedy Edition
Married couples should plan to join us on April 30th in the Parish
Center following 5pm mass for Date Night Challenge: Comedy
Edition, an Honoring Marriage video event “hosted” by Dr. Greg and
Erin Smalley. Not only will you enjoy a lot of laughter and prayer, but
couples will recognize why their marriage is so valuable, understand
the importance of honoring God with their relationships, and how to
regularly invest in their marriage. For more information, please
contact Deacon Rob ([email protected]).
Let marriage be held in honor among all. [Hebrews 13:4]

Sunday, April 10, 2016 Third Sunday of Easter Questions for Reflection or Discussion on this Sunday’s Readings
1. In the first reading, after the high priest warns the apostles to stop teaching in Jesus’ name, Peter begins his response with these words: “We must obey God rather than men.” What do you think Peter meant by these words? How do these words apply to your life?
2. The first reading ends with these words: “So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name” (Acts (5:41). Why do you think the apostles were “rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name”? Would you be willing to suffer dishonor for Jesus, because you are a Catholic Christian? Why or why not?
3. In the responsorial psalm the psalmist, like Peter and the apostles in the first reading, expresses
his total confidence and faith that no matter what happens to him, the Lord will be with him and rescue him. His response to this is rejoicing, praise, and thanksgiving? How does your confidence in the Lord’s protection over your life (and your family) compare to the psalmist? Was there ever a time when the Lord rescued you from a difficult situation? What was your response?
4. The second reading gives us a glimpse of the celebration of praise and worship that goes on in
Heaven. The angels and saints cry out to the Lord with these words: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory and blessing” and “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.” What is your reaction to this scene in Heaven? What do you think is the basis for this celebration? In what ways can we share in this heavenly celebration?
5. In the Gospel reading, what do you think were Jesus’ reasons for his question to Peter: “Do you
love me?” Why the same question three times? Why do you think Peter seemed to be so uncomfortable with Jesus’ questions? What would be your answer if Jesus were to ask you the same question he asked Peter, “Do you love me?”
6. In the meditation, we are reminded that every time we celebrate Mass, “We are celebrating who
Jesus is and what he has done for us by dying and rising. We are telling him, ‘Jesus, we ascribe to you all power, riches, wisdom, and strength. We proclaim that you are worthy to receive all of our glory, honor, and praise.’” What does it mean to ascribe to Jesus all power, riches, wisdom, strength, glory, honor, and praise? How can you apply these words in a greater way to how you worship the Lord at Mass?
7. Take some time now to pray, and thank and praise the Lord for what he did for you through his
cross and resurrection. Take some time also to surrender even more of your life to him. Use this prayer at the end of the meditation as a starting point. “Jesus, you are the perfect image of the Father’s love. I praise you with my whole heart, and I surrender my life to you.”
(Many thanks to The Word Among Us (www.wau.org) for allowing us to use meditations from their monthly devotional magazine. Used with permission.)
