St. Paul reports that the believers did not claim anything as their own, but held everything in common and distributed to each whatever was needed. Living Stewardship: We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who look beyond their own wants to help satisfy the needs of others . Ministry of Prayer: Intentions for April ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ WORSHIP NEXT WEEKEND April 18th & April 19th Third Sunday of Easter Acts 3: 13-15, 17-19 / 1 Jn 2: 1-5a / Lk 24: 35-48 (47) ∗ 5:00 pm: Celebrant: Intention: John Mason 7:00 am: Celebrant: Intention: Mary Mediavilla 8:15am-Spanish: Celebrant: Intention: 10:00 am: Celebrant: Intention: People of Parish 11:30 am: Celebrant: Intention: Leonard Totoro ∗ ∗ Let us pray that people may learn to respect creation and care for it as a gift of God. Let us pray that persecuted Christians may feel the consoling presence of the Risen Lord and the solidarity of all the Church. Let us pray about the choice of our new pastor and that the Lord will shower blessings upon our Father Joe as he transitions to retirement. Let us pray in thanksgiving for the Lord’s Paschal Mystery and His blessings of Easter joy for all the people of God. Let us pray with Our Lady of Medjugorje “that all those who left my Son because of their pain and misunderstanding may return to Him and that all those who have never known Him may come to know Him.” Let us pray for the health and safety of the homeless, the poor, and the marginalized people within our parish boundary. Let us pray St. Catherine of Siena’s prayer: Holy Spirit, come into my heart; draw it to Thee by Thy power, O my God, and grant me charity with filial fear. Preserve me, O ineffable Love, from every evil thought; warm me, inflame me with Thy dear love, and every pain will seem light to me. My Father, my sweet Lord, help me in all my actions. Jesus, love, Jesus, love. Amen. FROM THE PASTOR PASTOR’S DESK: I don’t know about you, but I was deeply moved by the experience of Holy Week this year. Each of the services from Palm Sunday until the last Mass on Easter Sunday was an expression of our faith for all to share in and be proud of. Several things made this a holy and inspirational time in the parish. First, of course were the sheer numbers that came together to celebrate on Palm Sunday and Easter. We filled up the Church several times on both days. It was like the “old days” with standing room only at some Masses. I think that our warm welcome to those who were there after a lengthy absence might help them to return sooner. Let’s hope so anyway. The second thing that made this a special time for me was the quality of our celebrations. That was no accident. Many people made it happen – The music ministers under the direction of Gene Poller and Pepe D’Amico and several others, the ushers who kept order, the lectors who made God’s Word come to life for us, the sisters from our Convent who led us in Morning Prayer, servers, the Environment Committee and the Rosary Altar Society who help focus in on each of the days and, of course, our deacons and priests. Thank you to all who worked so very hard last week. You deserve a big pat on the back (actually, you deserve a lot more than that, but that is all I have right now!) There was another reason why this Easter was such a special celebration for me. This one is personal. On Easter Sunday, I celebrated the 40th Anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood. Imagine that! Forty years ago, Bishop Kellenberg (Remember him?) laid his hands on my head and called down the Holy Spirit upon me. When he was finished I was a priest! I can’t believe how much has happened over the forty years! When I look back on it, my heart is filled with gratitude because of what God has allowed me to do. I thank him for those years, and I thank you because in all of the parishes where I have served, I was made welcome and invited into your lives without question or conditions. I cannot imagine a richer or fuller life. Thank you. I would like to invite you to celebrate these 40 years with me. Since we could not do it on Easter, I have chosen April 26 as a special day. I would like you to join me at the 11:30 Mass that day to thank God and you for the gift of priesthood that you have given me. After Mass there will be some refreshments in the cafeteria. Please mark your calendars and plan to be there, I would be so honored to have you as a guest. Remember April 26th at the 11:30 Mass. I hope you will come….. Fr.
