The Byzantine Catholic Church – Byzantine Eparchy of

Parma, Ohio, Wednesday at 7 pm , April 7

Celebrant: Rev. Joseph Marquis, Pastor of Sacred Heart Byzantine Catholic Church,

Livonia, Michigan

The world-wide Catholic Church consists of smaller geographical territories called

“dioceses” from Latin or “eparchies” from Greek. Every eparchy/diocese is headed by a

bishop, a successor to the apostles. His Grace, Bishop John Kudrick presently leads the

Eparchy of Parma, Ohio established by Pope Paul VI on February 21, 1969. It encompasses

the geographical area of Ohio (except the eastern border counties), Indiana, Michigan,

Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South

Dakota.

The Byzantine Catholic Church traces its foundation to the 12 Apostles who proclaimed

the Gospel, first to Jerusalem, then to the Gentiles. The first mission of the New Testament

Church to the Greek-speaking Gentiles was to Antioch, in the Roman province of Syria,

where "the disciples were first called Christians" (Acts 11:26). Antioch became the staging

area for the great missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul, which resulted in the foundation

of a string of Greek-speaking Christian communities in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey) and

Greece.

As the Christian Church grew, each nation and culture who received the Gospel

influenced the growth of the Church. Early in the history of the Church, two major

heritages developed and remain with us today: the Eastern or "Greek" tradition, and the

Western or "Latin" tradition. The Church in the West had its principal center at the Imperial

capital of Rome, and is known in our present-day as the Roman Catholic Church. The

Church in the East grew and developed from the Churches in Jerusalem, Antioch and

Alexandria. These three Eastern centers shared a common language, Greek, and similar

mode of discourse which formed the basis for the subsequent development of the Eastern

Christian tradition. The Byzantine Catholic Church shares in the inheritance of the first

Greek-speaking Christian communities of the Eastern Mediterranean world, founded by

the Apostles of Jesus Christ.

A landmark event in the history of the Eastern Church was the decision in 325 by the

Roman Emperor Constantine to move the Imperial capital from Rome to Byzantion, a small

town on the Bosphorus strait which he renamed Constantinople (and which is presently

Istanbul, Turkey). This shift in the secular political balance had a dramatic impact on the

Eastern Church, for a new secular and religious center – Constantinople – was created in

the heart of the Christian East. The Eastern Roman, or "Byzantine", Empire centered on

Constantinople was a Christian Empire that flourished for over 1,000 years, and

engendered a new and unique culture infused with Christianity. Byzantine Catholics in

America are the spiritual descendants of Christians in Central and Eastern Europe and the

Middle East who are the heirs of this Byzantine religious culture, and who therefore trace

their spiritual heritage to the Great Church of Constantinople, known as Hagia Sophia (The

Church of Holy Wisdom). This heritage includes the doctrines, liturgical practices and

underlying theology and spirituality which came from the Christian Church of the

Byzantine Empire. It is shared among all of the Christian peoples, regardless of ethnicity or

nationality, who trace their spiritual roots to the Great Church of Constantinople. The

Byzantine Church, following the command of the Lord to ‘let the little children come to

me’ (Mt 19:14), administers the Holy Mysteries of Baptism, Chrismation (Confirmation), and

Eucharist to infants on the same day, so that they become full members of the Body of

Christ, fully integrated into the Church, and full participants in the gift of New Life in Christ.

Christians of the Byzantine tradition always have referred to themselves as "Orthodox

Christians". Byzantine Catholics are Orthodox Christians who embrace full communion with

the Church of Rome and its primate, Pope Benedict XVI, the successor of St. Peter.

The National Shrine Parish Family extends a warm welcome to our Byzantine brothers

and sisters from Sacred Heart Byzantine Parish in Livonia. We look forward to the solemn

celebration of Holy Mass in the ancient Byzantine Liturgy stemming from one of the

greatest Doctors of the Church St. John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople at the end

of the fourth century.

Living Easter Pope Benedict XVI wrote “Holy Saturday is the day of the “death of God,’ the day which expresses the unparalleled experience of our age, anticipating the fact that God is simply absent, that the grave hides him, that he no longer awakes, no

longer speaks, so that one no longer needs to gainsay him but can simply overlook him…”

How true it is of our time and culture to set God aside. Secular forces seek to remove the name of God from all public buildings, the pledge of allegiance, the money. Christmas becomes the “Holidays.” Easter and Passover are a little more difficult to secularize but attempts are made to make it into some passage into

Spring. Society seeks to make the resurrection of Jesus unreal or irrelevant. Jesus is almost seen as an annoyance to be done away with.

After the crucifixion and death of Jesus, his body was sealed in a tomb with a huge stone and guards placed at the entrance. What were they afraid of? That someone would steal a corpse. A dead body treated as an enemy. Keep him sealed up and out of our lives, we can do just fine without him. Oh, really? To

believe this is to give the victory to death.

Jesus, God cannot be contained. The creator cannot be entombed by creation. Death is conquered. The resurrection will not be stopped by force, nor impeded by seals, nor put down by soldiers, nor concealed with lies. Rather the resurrection is to be both believed and lived.

Pope Benedict continues, “Christ strode through the gate of our final loneliness; in

His Passion He went down into the abyss of our abandonment. Where no voice can reach us any longer, there is He. Hell is thereby overcome, or to be more accurate, death, which was previously hell, is hell no longer. Neither is the same any longer because there is life in the midst of death, because love dwells in it.”

For the next 50 days we celebrate with joy the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ

who has conquered death and restored life.

Easter Every Sunday Every Sunday is a celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. As “the first day of the week” (Mark 16:2) it recalls the first creation; and as the “eighth day,” which follows the Sabbath, it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by the Resurrection of Christ. Thus, Sunday has become for Christians the first of all days and of all feasts. It is the day of the Lord in which He with his Passover fulfilled the spiritual truth of the Jewish

Sabbath and proclaimed Man’s eternal rest in God.

For this reason the Catholic Church obliges the faithful to participate at Holy Mass every Sunday and on holy days of obligation. To disregard this obligation is a serious sin. It is not sufficient to just pray alone on this day, or to attend some other type of service or a different denomination. Not all churches are the same. As Catholics we are obligated to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist and if at all

possible to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. To disregard this obligation is to dismiss the importance of the Resurrection of Jesus from the central place it should have in our lives.

Rosie & Carlito Carlito is happy with the nice change in the weather. He is able to get outside in his big cage again. His attitude is improving with every warm sunny day. Come to

think of it, so is mine.

Mass Intentions Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration "The world is indeed dark, but even a single

candle suffices to bring light into the deepest

darkness."

"As we wait in the night-dark church for the

Easter light to be struck, we should experience the

consoling realization that God is fully aware of the night by

which we are surrounded. In fact, He has already struck His

Light at the heart of it...The night enables us to appreciate

what the light really is. It is the brightness or the luminousness

that enables us to see; that shows the way and gives

direction; that helps us to know both others and

ourselves. ...At this moment we are not only celebrating the

Resurrection; we are also being given a distant glimpse of the

second coming of the Lord, whom we are advancing to

meet with lamps lit...Something of the joy that marks a

wedding should be ours on this night so bright with

candles....Did not God give us a candle at baptism and the

means of lighting it? We must be courageous enough to light

the candle of our patience, our trust, our love. Instead of

bewailing the night, we must dare to light the little lamp that

God has loaned us: 'The Light of Christ! - Thanks be to God!'"

- Pope Benedict XVI, Benedictus

Life Matters As we celebrate Easter, we celebrate God’s abundant love for us. He loved us so much that He died on a cross for us so that we may live. For this, He asks us to love Him and love each other. He

gave us life that we are obligated to love with dignity from conception to natural death.

¨ At conception, all characteristics of each person are determined

¨ At 18 days after conception, the baby has a heart beat

¨ At 6 weeks, brain waves can be measured

¨ At 8 weeks, stomach, liver and kidneys are functioning; finger prints are formed

¨ At 3 months, the baby can make a tiny fist, get hiccups and suck its thumb

¨ At 4 months, the heart pumps 6 gallons of blood a day

¨ At 19 weeks, the baby is viable outside the womb

¨ At 5 months, the fingernails and toenails are present

¨ From birth till death, limitless opportunities to love

Lending Library Happy Easter! Christ has risen! And yes, Christ Is

Alive. That is the title of a

small book by Michel Quoist. You may have read some of his other books. He writes to be read, not with highly technical or theological language, but to speak to the ordinary lay people in the Church, because "Christ

Himself is living at the heart of the world; and His total Mystery--that of Creation, I n c a r n a t i o n , R e d e m p t i o n a n d Resurrection--embodies and animates all of life and all of history." He states, "I think the gravest sin of Christians today is

fear. Evil, sin, death--we must keep those things in mind, of course; but beyond them, and in the same glance, we must see Christ victorious. Many people say, 'Everything is falling apart. A world is passing away.' But I say, 'A world is being

born.' Death exists, but Jesus Christ has conquered death. Christ is alive!" (Back cover) Section 6, Jesus)

Lending Library hours are Sundays from 10 am to 2 pm, and Fridays from 9:15 am

to Noon, in the National Shrine Conference Center, Room C (across the alley from the Northwood parking lot). For information call Kathy McGuire at 248.541.6834 or JoAn Gilleran at 248.629.4045.

Grade School Happenings

Second Grade

The big news in second grade is about the blessing of our two special sacraments. On March 6, we made our First Reconciliation. With much joy, we were finally able to tell God how very sorry we are for our sins, and how happy we truly are to renew our friendship with Him. We have also begun to prepare for our First Communion which is rapidly approaching this spring. The children can hardly wait to be among those at God’s table and to be graced with the joy of receiving our Lord for the first time. The seventh graders at Shrine Catholic Academy wrote the children the nicest notes of encouragement for them to treasure throughout their journey in coming closer to God and understanding the depths of His love.

Along with the blessings of these sacraments, we have been counting money, reading graphs, and telling time in math. We’ve been exploring pronouns and figuring out when to use “I” and “me” in grammar, and have been exploring the weather and space in science. We also buttoned up our laboratory jackets when dissecting owl pellets to understand the eating habits and digestive system of an owl.

In April, the children will be stepping into a surgeon’s shoes as we are dissecting sheep eyes to uncover how the eye works to enable sight. Altogether, it is very clear to see that second grade at Shrine Catholic Grade School is a tremendous place to learn and grow!

Happy Easter!!!

Last week, we were talking about the crucifixion and how the Charity Tower was especially inspirational

this time of year. I asked you if you knew who the four people were at the bottom of the cross. Looking at

the tower from left to right, they are the Virgin Mary, John (the Beloved Disciple), the Centurion

(Longinus), and Mary Magdalen. The tower really gives a complete portrait of the crucifixion.

Gazing at the Crucifix is St. Thérèse from across the terrace. She is holding a flowered cross. There are many inscriptions

around her. One says, “After my death, I shall let fall a shower of roses.”

Speaking of roses, where else are there carvings of flowers or roses? Think about the inside and outside. How many do

you think there are? Let me know at [email protected].

Young Adult Holy Hour & Fellowship Friday, April 16, 8 to 9 pm in the St Thérèse Chapel Sponsored by the Frassati Society of Detroit

If you've never experienced Jesus' invitation to "spend one hour with me," celebrate the Easter season with us in our Eucharistic Holy Hour filled with Praise and Worship, Scripture, and Reflection. Confession will also

be available! ***This month we will gather at National Coney Island after the Holy Hour for fellowship. May 21 we will resume the usual Holy Hour at 8 pm with the Coffee House with live music from a Catholic artist at 9 pm in the Conference Center.***

About the Frassati Society of Detroit: We are a group of lay young adult Catholics that strive to follow Christ through the example of our patron, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Blessed Frassati served the poor, yet lived a vibrant, joyful life as a very diverse young lay Catholic until his death at the age of 24. Learn more and sign up for our weekly newsletter at www.frassatidetroit.org or call National Shrine parishioners John and Sarah Chunta at 248.545.4169.

National Shrine of the Little Flower

Perpetual Mass Enrollment Cards The National Shrine of the Little Flower now has a beautiful six page perpetual Mass card available at the Parish rectory office and the National Shrine gift shop. With this enrollment, the person or persons, living or

deceased, will be remembered in a Mass once a month at the National Shrine on or near the first Friday of each month.

The Masses will be celebrated every month in perpetuity. The suggested offering for the enrollment card and a card suitable to be given to family or individuals is $25 per card.

A Family Perspective

In today’s Gospel Mary Magdalene confesses she “did not know” what happened to Jesus. Every relationship is held together by hope and trust in others, because, like Mary Magdalene, we “just don’t know.” Easter continues whenever we accept the uncertainty

in our relationships and joyfully live the present moment in hope and trust. Alleluia. - Bud Ozar
