The Octave of Easter

The Easter season runs for seven weeks through Pentecost. But we also celebrate the Octave of Easter (the seven days of the week of Easter plus next Sunday) as a heightened celebration because the joy of salvation, the good news of the gospel, is too good to confine to one day. Each of these days is a Solemnity of the Lord. Each day the gospel tells the story of one of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus. It is these appearances of Christ to his followers that formed the foundation of the faith of the early Church. The empty tomb that was seen on Easter morning is simply an empty tomb without the witness to the appearances of the Risen Lord. As we heard in this morning’s gospel, neither Peter nor Mary Magdalene, who saw the empty tomb, understood that Jesus had risen. It is only after Jesus comes to them that they understand and believe. We are called to believe in the words of Jesus, his story as written in the sacred Scriptures, and in the testimony of those who witnessed him risen from the dead. While these days are not days of obligation, they are holy days that lead us deeper into the mystery of our faith. Everyone is encouraged to continue the Easter celebration at daily mass throughout the week.

Easter Sunday

In the Acts of the Apostles, St. Peter receives a heavenly vision, instructing him to visit the house of the gentile Cornelius. St. Peter realizes that God’s gift of salvation is open to all people; and he begins to tell all those present of God’s salvific plan in Jesus. He explains that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power. He was put to death, only to have God raise him from the dead three days later. St. Peter tells them that he himself is a witness of Jesus’ mighty deed. He says that Jesus has been appointed by God to judge the living and the dead; and that all who believe in him will receive for-giveness of sins through him. The Letter of St. Paul to the Colossians encourages the listeners to seek after God, that which is above, reminding them that they have already died and risen with Christ. They have died to their old way of life and are now protected by God as they await Christ’s return, when they too will appear with him in glory. The gospel reading from John tells us that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early in the morning and found it empty. She immediately reports this to Peter and the “disciple whom Jesus loved”. The disciples raced to the tomb. Peter enters first. Then the beloved disci-ple enters. Scripture tells us that “he saw and believed”. But Peter and the others “did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead”. Like the beloved disciple, we, too, are invited to see the empty tomb and believe in the joy of the Resurrection. Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Colossians 3:1-4 John 20:1-9

Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord Page 3

From the Pastor’s Desk

Alleluia! He is Risen! Rejoice! Welcome to all visitors, family members and friends who come to share the joy of Easter with our faith community today. It is truly a great joy for me to see and to celebrate with you all on this most holy and happy day of the year. After six weeks of Lent, the Alleluia and the Gloria return to the liturgy as we shout out with great joy the good news of salvation. Rejoice! The promise proclaimed on Laetare Sunday three weeks ago is fulfilled today. Christ is risen! Jesus has destroyed the power of sin and death. The promise of Christ-mas is fulfilled. Christ, who came down from heaven to join our human family, rises to heaven so that we may join his divine family. The Lenten journey is complete and we have arrived at the baptismal font of our salvation.

John’s gospel story of the resurrection is curious in what it does not say. Neither Mary Magdalene nor the Apostles see the Risen Christ. What they witness is an empty tomb. St. John sees the rolled up burial cloths, the absence of the corpse; and he believes. It is only later that the apostles see the Risen Christ; and he remains with them, teaching them, strengthening them and leaving them with the Holy Spirit. It is because of the eye-witness ac-counts of the apostles that we believe that Christ is truly risen. And yet John’s witness of faith is prior to any actual evidence. This is important for us because we all face the same choice. When we see the empty tomb, the ab-sence of any physical evidence of God’s presence in our life, do we choose to believe? The Scriptures, Sunday mass, the Sacraments and above all, the Eucharist, are given to strengthen us in our times of doubt. After the dark of night comes the light of day. After the doubt of desolation comes the consolation of God’s presence. After the sadness of death comes the joy of resurrection.

The Easter Proclamation, sung last night at the Vigil Mass, rings out the wonderful news. Jesus Christ, our King, is risen. Sound the trumpet of salvation! Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor, radiant in the brightness of your King! Christ has conquered! Glory fills you! Darkness vanishes forever! The Risen savior shines upon you! Rejoice! Exult in glory! The risen Savior shines upon you! Let this place resound with joy, echoing the mighty song of all God’s people! Let these words fill you with joy. Keep these words in your hearts and know the power and glory of God’s love for you. May the joy and blessings of Easter remain with you always.

Our RCIA Elect, Paula Diaz, Cynthia Dopke, and Mark Martinez were received into the Church last night at the East-er Vigil. They are now called “neophytes”, from the Greek word for newly received. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

Many thanks to the Liturgical Ministers, Art and Environment Committee and all the volunteers who decorated our church so beautifully and to those who prepared our Holy Week and Easter liturgies. The musicians, singers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, altar servers, sacristan and all our volunteers did a wonderful job. These beautiful liturgies don’t happen by themselves. It takes a lot of people to volunteer a lot of time and effort. Thank you for all you do. I’d also like to thank everyone who contributed to the Easter Flower collection last weekend. These beautiful flowers really add a sense of joy to our celebrations.

There is still time to make a contribution to our Lenten Mission Appeal for the Maison Fortune Orphanage in Haiti. Your donations will help provide scholarships to the children at the orphanage to further their education and pre-pare them for careers. Please drop off your check or mail it to the rectory.

Our Adult Faith Formation series continues this Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. Deacon Mike Ahern from Our Lady of Victory will lead a discussion on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. All are welcome and encour-aged to come for a reflection on the parable and its application to our own lives.

The parish will celebrate the Sacrament of First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 4, at 10:30 a.m. Please keep the children and their families in your prayers.

May the blessings of the Risen Christ be with you and your families this Easter and throughout the year.

Sincerely, Fr. Neil

Catholic Charities Collection on Mother’s Day Sarah was a young woman with two children when she entered the Catholic Charities New Hope Apartments pro-gram. She had been in foster care most of her life, and needed to learn basic skills to be a good parent and successful adult. Catholic Charities worked with her to break the cycle of poverty and helped her learn budgeting and parenting skills. She blossomed before her case manager’s eyes and went on to have a successful career, marry and has a great family thanks to the compassion and hope she received at Catholic Charities which serves the poor of Cook and Lake County.
