2nd Sunday of Easter

“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As

the Father has sent me, so I send you.’”

- John 20:21

Peace – the first gift of the risen Lord. Just as Jesus

sent the apostles out into the world to share His peace

and Good News, so too, He sends us. As disciples of

Jesus, we are called to be grateful and generous. We

should look for opportunities to share His peace with

our brothers and sisters not only within our local par-

ish boundaries, but outside of them as well. In giv-

ing, you will receive the peace of Christ.

How do we begin to describe the Peace of Christ?

There were two painters who were commissioned to

paint a picture that showed perfect peace. The first

painted a beautiful, serene setting of green trees,

many multi-colored flowers, a peaceful pathway

through the woodland with birds flying, butterflies

lighting on the plush plants, and a blue green body of

water drifting by and a gentle breeze stirring the

leaves.

The second composed a horrid storm--wind blowing

with great force, lightening blazing through the ugly

blackened sky, trees swaying in the violet disturbance

all around, animals running for cover. Then we notice

there is a small bird huddled down in a safe part of a

huge tree-who shows no fear--but complete serenity--

in perfect peace. The second artist was declared to

have painted a picture showing "PERFECT PEACE".

No matter how much torment that was going on

around the bird--he was in a place of comfort, sereni-

ty, and unwavering trust.

Isn't this the perfect peace our God speaks about

when He declares, "You will keep Him in perfect

peace, Him whose mind is stayed on you, because He

trusts in You? -(Isaiah 25:3)

As Catholic Christians we are called by our Lord to con-

tinue our understanding and knowledge of our Catholic

faith, the Sacred Scriptures, and our need to share our

faith with others. These areas are covered in our Catholic

Focus class every Sunday morning at 9:45 AM in the

Catholic Focus room in the Faith Formation building.

We receive our lessons for the week (on a monthly basis)

via email--to download and prepare for the lesson on the

following Sunday. The lessons are based on the Mass

Scriptures for that particular week. We have a catechist

that leads the class as we ponder and discuss how the

Scriptures encourage us to actually "LIVE AND APPLY

THEIR UNDERSTANDING TO THE MANNER IN

WHICH WE LIVE OUR LIVES". Adults of all ages are

welcome. We look forward to meeting and greeting you

as we grow in our knowledge of God's Calling in our

lives-to become the Disciples and Stewards we are

"called" to be. Please stop by and see for yourselves.
