Jesus was crucified, then he rose up and was seen by his chosen witnesses. Peter also mentions the importance of all the disciples bearing witness to what they saw, so that many people would believe in Jesus, and have their sins forgiven through him. SECOND READING: COLOSSIANS 3:1-4 Paul asserts that we must pay attention to higher realms rather than earthly concerns. Our life is not yet completely known to us, until Christ appears and we are raised to glory in him. GOSPEL: JOHN 20:1-9 When Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus tomb was open, she told Simon Peter and another disciple. They ran to the tomb and Peter went inside. He found the burial wrappings on the ground, with the head covering separate from the rest. The other disciple came in and they believed what they saw, although until then they had not understood the Scripture s message of Jesus resurrection T H I S W E E K... 4/1 Sunday Easter Egg Hunt 10:00am (Front of Church) 4/2 Mass 9:00am Only (Church) Monday Office Closed 4/4 Wednesday Eucharistic Adoration 11:30am (Church) 4/5 Thursday Contemplative Prayer 6:25pm (Parlor) Choir Rehearsal 7:30pm (Church)

The table is full-laden; feast ye all sumptuously. The calf is fatted; let no one go hungry away. Enjoy ye all the feast of faith: Receive ye all the riches of lovingkindness. Let no one bewail his poverty, For the universal Kingdom has been revealed. Let no one weep for his iniquities, For pardon has shown forth from the grave. Let no one fear death, For the Savior's death has set us free. He that was held prisoner of it has annihilated it. O Death, where is thy sting? O Hell, where is thy victory? Christ is risen, and thou art overthrown! Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen! Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is risen, and life reigns! Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, Is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion Unto ages of ages. Amen.

5 5 April 1, 2018 EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD POPE S CORNER BOUNDLESS MERCY God is infinite love, boundless mercy, and that Love has conquered evil at its root through the death and resurrection of Christ. This is the Gospel, the Good News: God s love has won! Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose again. With him we can fight evil and conquer every day. Do we believe this or not?... But that yes has to become part of life! If I believe that Jesus has conquered evil and saved me, I must follow along the path of Jesus for my whole life. Address, Meeting with Young People, October 4, 2013 Reflection: God s mercy is boundless. Whatever you are facing, God s love is there to conquer it. Think about your own personal trials and battles. Say yes to the love of God in each situation. THE POPE S PRAYER INTENTIONS The Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month.
