LINUS CATHOLIC CHURCH Shoemaker Avenue, Norwalk, CA DATE: Monday, April 16, 2012 PLACE: St. Linus Catholic Church TIME: 7:30 PM Celebrant: Fr. Thomas Asia Fr. Thomas Asia is an associate pastor at Holy Family Church in Artesia. He taught catechism in the Philippines and inside the prison. Planning on being a journalist, he graduated from the De La Salle College with a degree of AB Philosophy. Responding to the call of the Holy Spirit to enter the priesthood, much to the resentment of his mother who longed for him to become a doctor, Fr. Thomas he entered the Marian Missionaries of the Holy Cross (MMHC) Missionary. He later pursued a Masters in Theology at the University of Santo Thomas and was ordained a priest in December His assignments included being a formatter for young seminarians, acting as the assistant novice director for MMHC s house in Bacolod. His previous assignment included St. Philomena Church in Carson and is now assigned at Holy Family Church where he finds his priestly role as demanding and inspiring as he continues to evangelize the Lord s vineyard. Come and bring your family and friends and receiving the healing gifts of the Holy Spirit. REJOICE AND BE GLAD During the first three or four centuries of Christianity, if you asked a Christian to name the feast days of the church, your answer would have been a puzzled stare, for there was only one feast: the Resurrection of the Lord. Every Sunday was a feast celebrating the one great feast. Even though our calendar now has many beautiful and holy feasts, we must continually be called back to the fact that all these other feasts exist because of the feast of Christ s passover from death to life. The psalm today proclaims this message well: This is the day. It is not one of many days, but it is the day of all days, the one that gives all the others their origin, purpose, meaning, and destiny. Listen carefully to Peter s speech in Acts with its recollection of the Passion, to the words of the apostle Paul, and to the account of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter finding the empty tomb, and you will hear the many wonderful works that God has done for us through Christ. Rejoice and be glad! Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. THE RETURN OF EASTER The return of Easter should be to the Christian life the call of a trumpet. It is the news of a great victory. It is the solution of a great perplexity. It is the assurance of a great triumph. Frederick Temple
