FROM THE PASTORS DESK

Today, we hear the familiar story of the journey to Em-maus. Two disciples, on Easter Sunday, journey together to Emmaus, a resort town some 7 miles from Jerusalem. Their hearts have been shattered as the one they loved, Jesus, had been crucified. Although they had heard the news of the empty tomb, they remained in unbelief that Jesus had been raided from the dead. Then, as they made their way to Emmaus, with heads hung low, Jesus began to walk with them although they did not immediately recog-nize the Lord in their midst.

When we encounter life’s disappointments, it is easy for us to ask, “God, where are you in all of this?” Perhaps, we are asking this very question in light of the sufferings that have come our way as a result of the coronavirus pandem-ic we find ourselves in. Whether we have been laid off of work or lost our job, whether we find ourselves isolated and lonely, whether we are saddened due to the fact that our senior will not be able to go to prom or enjoy their last season of high-school track, soccer, or golf, the Lord walks with us and stands by us to comfort and console us.

It was in the breaking of the bread that the disciples’ eyes were opened to recognize Jesus in their midst. Likewise, it is in the Eucharist that we see the Lord’s love revealed to us in an extraordinary way. It is with eyes of faith that we see not ordinary bread and wine but the extraordinary presence of Jesus, His very real Body, His very real Blood. Let us pray for an increase in faith, that even in these times when we are unable to partake of Christ’s Body and Blood, we may see with eyes of faith the Lord who accompanies us along our journey and offers us His continu-ous support, limitless graces, and undying love.

FAITH FORMATION

Religious Ed office is closed for now. If you need to contact Sister Cheryl please email her at [email protected] or you can call her at 563-299-6983. Stay Safe and Stay Healthy. Prayers are with you.

FAITH Alive and Active

It’s been a crazy few weeks. There’s a lot up in the air, and we’re not sure when we’ll start gathering at the church again – but that doesn’t mean youth nights have to stop…

Thousands of teenag-ers from across the

country are gathering on Sunday nights for the BIG-GEST YOUTH NIGHT EVER. It’s called ProjectYM Live and each week it’ll feature some of the biggest speak-ers and worship leaders in the Catholic youth ministry world.

Our parish is signed up to participate – all your teenag-er has to do is head to PROJECTYM.COM/WATCH this Sunday at 7pm Central.

OFFICE CLOSED

The Parish Office is not “technically” open. The office will not be open to walk ins, until further notice. You can call or email the office and Maria will answer your calls or emails. Parish office (563-263-1416) or email [email protected]

SACRAMENT OF THE SICK

Although we are not currently making regular visits to the homebound, hospitalized, and those in nursing homes and other

care facilities, if you or a loved one is ill and would like to re-quest a visit from Fr. Troy or Fr. Hai, please contact the parish

office.

CONFESSIONS

Although the church is closed, Confessions are still availa-ble. You may contact Fr. Hai and Fr. Troy to set up a time for

your individual Confession at the rectory.

WHEN WILL…………

First Communion Sunday be? When will Confirmation be? When will our RCIA elect and candidates come into full membership of our

Catholic Church? When will Graduation happen? When will I be able to baptize my son / daughter? When will I?? When will I??

These are questions that all of us carry within our hearts at this time of year! Maybe instead of asking the questions…we treasure the gift of time that God is giving to each of us…..time to spend with family…..time to pray together as family….time to talk together as family….time to play together as fami-ly…..time to attend Mass together as family through our live stream-ing…..”treasure this time that we are all being given! LOOK for the LOVE NOTES from God in each given day.”

When I know the answers to the questions above, this will be one of the LOVE NOTES from God. What I ask of each of you is to stay safe…stay healthy…fall more deeply in LOVE with GOD each day! We may never have this opportunity again!!

You are loved and prayed for each day--Sister Cheryl

Aclama a Dios, tierra entera. Canten todos un himno a su nombre, denle gracias y alábenio. Aleluya. Cfr. Sal 65, 1-2

LA SANTA MISA DE HOY ES EN MEMORIA DE TO-DO LOS SANTOS DIFUNTOS

Hoy escuchamos la historia familiar del viaje a Emaús. Dos discípulos, el Domingo de Pascua, viajan juntos a Emaús, una ciudad turística a unos 7 kilómetros de Jerusalén. Sus corazones han sido destrozados cuando el que amaban, Jesús, había sido crucificado. Aunque habían oído la noticia de la tumba vacía, permaneci-eron en la incredulidad de que Jesús había sido asaltado de entre los muertos. Entonces, cuando se dirigió a Emaús, con la cabeza baja, Jesús comenzó a caminar con ellos, aunque no reconocieron inmediatamente al Señor en medio de ellos.

Cuando encontramos las decepciones de la vida, es fácil para nosotros preguntar: "Dios, ¿dónde estás en todo esto?" Tal vez, estamos haciendo esta misma pregunta a la luz de los sufrimientos que han llegado a nuestro camino como resultado de la pandemia del coronavirus en la que nos encontramos. Ya sea que hayamos sido despedidos del trabajo o hayamos perdido nuestro trabajo, nos encontremos aislados y so-

los, ya sea que nos entristezcan por el hecho de que nuestro estudiantes de la preparatoria no podrá ir al baile de gradu-ación o disfrutar de su última temporada de atletismo de la escuela secundaria, fútbol o golf, el Señor camina con nosotros y nos apoya para consolarnos y consolarnos.

Fue en la ruptura del pan que los ojos de los discípulos se abrieron para reconocer a Jesús en medio de ellos. Del mismo modo, es en la Eucaristía que vemos el amor del Señor revelado de una manera extraordinaria. Es con ojos de fe que no vemos pan y vino ordinarios, sino la extraordinaria presencia de Jesús, Su Cuerpo muy real, Su Sangre muy real. Oremos por un aumento de la fe, para que aun en estos tiempos en que no podamos participar del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, podamos ver con ojos de fe al Señor que nos acompaña a lo largo de nuestro camino y nos ofrece Su apoyo continuo, gra-cias ilimitadas y amor eterno.

Unas Palabras del Padre

CRS - ACTUALIZACIÓN DE RICE BOWL

Gracias por participar en CRS Rice Bowl esta Cuaresma. Este año, nuestro tiempo cuaresmal se vio interrumpido por la impre-vista pandemia COVID 19. Sin embargo, si usted o su familia recogieron dinero en sus platos de Arroz o desean hacer una donación, puede enviar cheques directamente a:

Diocese of Davenport Rice Bowl Collection Attn: Nancy Karn 780 West Central Park Avenue Davenport, IA 52804

Su contribución hará que los fondos estén disponibles durante estos tiempos difíciles a nivel mundial a través de CRS, así como para subvenciones locales a organizaciones de toda la Diócesis que ayuden a combatir el hambre. El 75% de las limosnas dadas a través del CRS Rice Bowl se reunirán con los Servicios de

Socorro Católicos para apoyar proyectos de ayuda humanitaria que traigan esperanza vital y ayuda que salva vidas a los más pobres de los pobres en el extranjero.

El 25% de las donaciones de CRS Rice Bowl permanecerán aquí en nuestra diócesis para ayudar a los que sufren de pobreza y hambre en nuestra propia comunidad.

Obtenga más información sobre Catholic Relief Services aquí: https://www.crs.org/

CUANDO VA … … … …

¿El domingo de primera comunión será? ¿Cuándo serán las Confirmaciónes? ¿Cuándo llegarán nuestros elegidos y candidatos de RCIA a ser miembros de nues-

tra Iglesia Católica? ¿Cuándo se llevará a cabo la graduación? ¿Cuándo podré bautizar a mi hijo/hija? ¿Cuándo podré? ¿Cuándo podré

¡Éstas son preguntas que todos nosotros llevamos dentro de nuestros corazones en esta época del año! Tal vez en lugar de hacer las preguntas... atesoramos el don del tiempo que Dios nos está dando a cada uno de nosotros.....tiempo para pasar con la familia.....tiempo para orar juntos como familia... tiempo para hablar juntos como fa-milia... tiempo para jugar juntos como familia.....tiempo para asistir juntos a la Misa como familia a través de nuestra transmisión en vivo.... " tesoro esta vez que todos estamos siendo dados! BUSCA las NOTAS DE AMOR de Dios en cada día dado."

Cuando sepa las respuestas a las preguntas anteriores, esta será una de las NOTAS DE AMOR de Dios. Lo que les pido a cada uno de ustedes es que se mantengan a salvo... mantenerse saludable... caer más profundamente en amor con DIOS cada día! Es posi-ble que nunca tengamos esta oportunidad de nuevo!!

Usted es amado y orado por cada día--Hermana Cheryl
