St. Edward Catholic Church Third Sunday of Easter April 19, 2015 For us, Christ is everything. We begin in each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the needs of those who ask our help, with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him! May we too know him in the breaking of this bread It seems that the initial experience of the disciples after the death of Jesus was one of hurt, and loss. They lived in shame with their broken hopes. Disappointed and discouraged that had a difficult time believing the word of the women who had gone to the tomb. The disciples we see in today’s Gospel knew the facts. They could recite the creed. HIM, they did not know. They had wanted and hoped for a “prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,” “hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel.” Continued: http://www.stedwardcatholic.com/the-blog/theyknew-him-in-the-breaking-of-the-bread → → Remember Raymond Arroyo will be here May 1st.
