Gospel Summary Upon seeing that the stone had been removed from the tomb,

Mary of Magdala ran to Simon Peter and the disciple whom

Jesus loved. She told them that the Lord had been taken from

the tomb. Peter and the other disciple ran to see for themselves.

The burial cloths were there, but the body of Jesus was gone.

The disciple whom Jesus loved believed, even though neither

Peter nor he understood the Scripture that Jesus had to rise

from the dead.

Reflection for Parents

Things aren’t always as they seem. A spilled bottle of laundry

detergent wasn’t mischievous behavior—it was your child’s

attempt to surprise you by doing his or her own laundry. Se-

crets whispered behind your back weren’t an attempt to hide a

wrongdoing. They were an effort to plan a surprise for you. In

today’s Gospel reading, Mary of Magdala’s discovery of the

empty tomb did not mean that Jesus’ body had been stolen—it

was evidence that Jesus had risen from the dead! As Christians,

we are invited to look beyond the surface, beyond the obvious,

and to search for the deeper meaning—the deeper truth—that

God is trying to reveal in the everyday occurrences of life.

Bringing the Gospel Into Your Family Gather your family together to decorate your family prayer

table for the Easter season. Place upon the table a white cloth, a

candle, a Bible, a cross, and signs of the Easter season such as

fresh flowers, an Easter egg, a butterfly, and anything that

symbolizes new life to family members. Talk about ways you

can be signs of new life to each other and to neighbors and

friends throughout the Easter season. Even the smallest signs of

thoughtfulness and caring can be Good News to those in need

of Easter joy.

He bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.

When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and

saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his

head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.

- Jn 20:5-7

PARISHONERS USING WEEKLY

ENVELOPES

Remember when there is a holy day or a special col-

lection, do NOT send in ONE check for both col-

lections. Please issue a separate check for all spe-

cial collections. Our counters must keep the special

collections and holy days separate and it is very dif-

ficult to do when they have to “split” a check to

place the proper gift in the proper collection. all for

your consideration.

Attention all parishioners. You are

cordially invited to a special lunch-

eon to be held in honor of your

hard work for St. Joseph’s. The catered

luncheon will be on Sunday, April 8th at

noon in the school gym. There are no

insignificant workers and all volunteers

from altar servers to maintenance workers to

catechists are encouraged to attend. Please

RSVP to the parish office so we may appro-

priately prepare for your arrival.

As we celebrate this joyous Easter, we

at the food pantry would like to thank

you for your generosity. Unfortunately

hunger knows no season and the

shelves continue to empty very quickly. We are

still in need of cereals, juices, mac and cheese and

condiments. We are grateful for your support.

The Catholic Daughters will be

selling May baskets again this

year before and after Masses

during the month of April.
