                                                 Sunday Scripture Re ection

          Happy Easter to all! We celebrate today the great victory of God
          who raised Christ from the dead to new life. This day above all
          is a day to give thanks and praise to God because we too are
          invited into the new life of Christ. Easter is a me of great hope,
          when we proclaim that not even death has power over us.

          It is always a challenge to live this Easter faith in our world. So
          o en, and especially for the past year, it feels as if the power of
          evil and darkness has the upper hand, or they have already
          won. But with faith we proclaim that it not true. Jesus Christ is alive! He is not dead! Each of us and
          our en re world has been transformed and made new through the resurrec on.

          God’s love and mercy reaches its climax in Jesus’ death and resurrec on. God not only invites us to
          this new life, but freely gives it to all who ask. No precondi ons, no applica on forms, no background
          checks, no tests. This free gi of new life is ours for the taking simply if we desire to want to be a li le
          closer to God.

          All of us are at di erent roads in our journeys. Some have deep rela onships with Christ; others have
          more super cial ones. Many of us are somewhere in the middle. Yet each of us is invited to experience
          once more God’s loving mercy and generosity in our lives. Jesus comes to us in our hurts and wounds
          in order to heal us and make us whole. Each of us is invited to open a li le more to Jesus’ presence
          through our prayer and service.

          While there is s ll great anxiety and concern at this me, maybe today we can take some me to
          celebrate. Let go if even for a brief me and witness God’s love in your life and in the lives of the many
          who give of themselves to help others. The coming of spring and the expansion of vaccina ons gives
          us all hope that there is light ahead, that this most challenging year will soon be in the rear-view
          mirror. While we are not on the other side quite yet, I have con dence that this di cult me will end
          and that we can be a stronger people and Church. This too we can celebrate.

          Have a Happy Easter!

                                            Re ection om Fr. Murphy

     Unbelievable

                                        The word “unbelievable” is an adjective meaning not able to
                                        be believed; unlikely to be true, so great or extreme as to be
                                        dif icult to believe.

                                        We often take great liberty in using it by applying it to
                                        believable things that seem extraordinary. “That touchdown
                                        pass was unbelievable!” “That sunset was unbelievable.”
                                        “This Covid-19 is unbelievable.” Nonsense, we see those
                                        things and know that they exist, so we have to believe them.

                                        When Jesus walked out of his tomb on Easter morning, that
                                        was unbelievable. Nobody had done it before or since. When
                                        God sent his only son to be our savior, that was unbelievable.
                                        Why would he do it?

     What makes the unbelievable believable is our faith. We believe God is our God and we are
     his people. We believe God is love and love is what we receive from God. We believe this
     whole week of going to Jerusalem with thousands of people waiving palm fronds is as true
     as the courts that condemned Jesus to death and the executioners who hung him on a
     cross. We believe he suffered and died even if we do not understand why these things had
     to happen.

     Believe the unbelievable. It is the empty tomb that characterizes our faith—more so than
     the cross.

     Let us be glad and rejoice.

      Are you or someone you know struggling with keeping up with bills or rent at this me?
      Thanks to some generous donors, we have created an emergency assistance fund. This will
      provide a one- me, short-term, emergency nancial support to parishioners, and those who
      are sponsored by parishioners. It is designed to give an extra hand to those of you who may
      be struggling nancially. Any of you who need this help are invited to apply here.

                                                 Ministry of Praye
      While we are separated from each other physically, we are all connected in one spirit in Christ.
      “Being Church” means more than coming to a building. The Church is you and me – all of us
      together – living out our mission. This con nues even if we are physically separated. Let us pray
      for each other.

      We have formalized a Ministry of Prayer by asking the members of the Vincen an Women and
      Men’s Prayer group to pray for your inten ons each day. We now would like to invite anyone
      from the parish to par cipate. If you would like to join, please email Leslie Linke at
      llinke55@hotmail.com

      If you have any prayer inten ons, please email Fr. Jeremy at jdixon20@depaul.edu or send a
      message to our parish Facebook page. As Catholics, we believe that our prayers make a
      di erence in the world. Now, more than ever, we must band together as a community of faith
      and keep this prac ce alive.

                                 AN EMPTY TOMB PANTOUM
                             Copyright 2021 by John B. Reynolds (john@jrwrites.com

On the first day of the week, an empty tomb,
And Mary of Magdala is surprised!
(For Mary sees the stone has been removed,
And surely, she can scarce believe her eyes).

Yes, Mary of Magdala is surprised
There in the dark, this early morning dawn.
And surely, she can scarce believe her eyes,
So, off she runs to pass the news along.

There in the dark, this early morning dawn,
She posits that the Lord’s been whisked away.
So, off she runs to pass the news along,
But anxiously…her thoughts in disarray.

Still positing the Lord’s been whisked away,
She goes to Peter and the one Christ loved.
And anxiously--her thoughts in disarray--
She tells them what she saw, her hope undone.

Addressing Peter and the one Christ loved,
She says, “They’ve taken the Lord from the tomb!”
She tells them what she saw, her hope undone.
“We don’t know where they put him,” she impugns.

She says, “They’ve taken the Lord from the tomb!”
So off the two go racing to the crypt.
“We don’t know where they put him,” she impugns;
But possibly, there’s quite another script…

So off the two go racing to the crypt,
With Christ’s beloved, the first one to arrive.
“But possibly, there’s quite another script,”
He posits, seeing just the shroud inside.

Now Christ’s beloved--the first one to arrive--
Does not go in, but, pondering the cave,
He posits--seeing just the shroud inside--
“There’s more than Mary’s take…here at the grave.”

Not going in, but pondering the cave,
He waits, then Peter barges on the scene.
With more than Mary’s take here at the grave,
The one whom Jesus loved saw, and believed.

One waits; another barges on the scene
(As Mary said, the stone had been removed).
It’s our turn, now, to witness and believe:
On the first day of the week, an empty tomb…
