4 Corpus Christi Catholic Church Excerpts from The Divine Romance: Dying and Behold We Live by Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen Having delivered His farewell address from the pulpit of the Cross and finished the work of His Eternal Father, Jesus bows His head and dies. To make certain of His death, a centurion, Longinus by name, pierces His heart with a lance and the Divine Master, who saved up a few drops of His Precious Blood, now pours them out to prove that His love is stronger than death. Two men who lacked courage to declare their affiliations while He was living, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, brought perfumes and spices and embalmed the body of Jesus. It was first laid on Mary s lap, and it seemed to her that Bethlehem had come back again but really it had not. Between Bethlehem and Calvary our sins had intervened. The body was lifeless. Jesus was dead. His enemies remembered that He had said that He would rise again, but they were certain He would not. They were afraid that the Apostles would come and steal away the body and then say He had risen. Guarding against such deceit, they went to Pilate, asking him to set a watch of soldiers about the tomb for three days in addition to which they would attach their own official seal to the stone before the entrance. Pilate acceded to their request. In the words with which the Evangelist Matthew closed his Gospel, the most ironic sentence in literature: And they departing made the sepulchre sure. The seal was placed on the sepulchre and a great stone rolled in front of the door. They took every precaution against fraud, but could take none against Divinity. As they made their way down Calvary s hill, such thoughts as these ran through their minds: Now his fisherman can go back to their nets and their boats; their kingdom is a mockery. As for their master, his heart was so pierced that blood and water came from it. Even though he had a breath of life left in that bloodless body, it is now being suffocated by the hundredweight of spices with which he was embalmed. Our vigilance and that of the soldiers will not permit any one to steal away the body. He who said he had life in abundance is now dead; he who said he could summon twelve legions of angels to his assistance now is cold as death; he who said he could raise up a child of Abraham from a stone is now buried under stone. The imposter is dead! How wonderfully effective is a Roman death! Nothing can survive a 4 crucifixion! He will never rise again! Is that true? Can one rise from the dead? Does not the very fact that He was born in a stranger s cave and buried in a stranger s grave prove that human birth and death are equally foreign to Him? Look about at nature. Is not the springtime the Easter Day of the Good Friday of winter? Has not all death within itself the germs of life? Does not the falling rain bud the greenery? Does not the falling acorn bud the tree? Why should all creation rise from the dead and not the Redeemer of creation? If this bright lily Can live once more, And its white promise Be as before, Why cannot the great stone Be moved from His door? If the green grass Ascend and shake Year after year, And blossoms break Again and again For April s sake, Why cannot He, From the dark and mold, Show us again His manifold And gleaming glory, A stream of gold? Faint heart, be sure These things must be. See the new bud On the old tree! If flowers can wake, Oh, why not He? Sunday morning came, and it was one of calm, like the sleep of innocents, and the clear, benign air seemed almost as if it had been stirred by angels wings. Mary walked in the garden and someone near her spoke a word, and pronounced it longingly, wistfully, in that touching and unforgettable voice which had called her so many times: Mary. And to this one and only word, she made an answer, a word and only one: Rabboni. And as she fell at His knees in the dewy grass and clasped in her hands those bare feet, she saw two scars, two red-

5 Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord April 1, 2018 lined marks of nails for Christ was now walking in the glory of His new Easter morn. That was the first Easter Day. Centuries have whirled away since, and on this new Easter Day as I turn from that garden to the altar, I behold placed over the tabernacle, on this Resurrection Day, the image, not of a Risen Savior, but the image of a dying one, to teach me that Christ lives over again in His Church, and that the Church, like Christ, not only lives, not only dies, but always rises from the dead. She is in love with death as a condition of birth; and with her, as with Christ, unless there is a Good Friday in her life, there will never be an Easter Sunday; unless there is the crown of thorns there will never be the halo of light; and unless there is the Cross there will never be the empty tomb. In other words, every now and then the Church must be crucified by an unbelieving world and buried as dead, only to rise again. She never does anything but die, and for that peculiar reason she never does anything but live. Every now and then the very life seems to have gone out of her; she is palled with death; her blood seems to have been sapped out of her; her enemies seal the tomb, roll a stone in front of her grave, and say: The Church will never rise again! But somehow or other she does rise again. She will go on dying and living again and in each recurring cycle of a Good Friday and an Easter Sunday her one aim in life will be to preach Christ and Him Crucified. As a student I may be expected to know something of her aims, and as her priest I may be expected to know something of her secrets; and I honestly assure you, at the close of this series, that the Church seeks not the overthrow of governments, desires not to impede progress, strives not to persecute those who differ with her. (I know all these things are said about her). But what she does seek, with the full ardor of her soul, is to bring minds captive to the understanding of Christ, to lead wills to the glorious Liberty of the sons of God, to thrill human hearts with the Love that leaves all others cold, and to open eyes to a Beauty that leaves all other beauty pain. And, hence, if any single word of mine has lifted up but one soul to a nobler understanding of Christ, or fanned a single spark of love for His cause into a flame, or induced the tendrils of a single heart to entwine about the Heart of Hearts, then I shall believe that my words and my life shall not have been spoken or lived in vain. Dear Parishioners, For every parish with Perpetual Adoration, and in particular, we as Corpus Christi, the Adoration chapel is and needs to be the heart of the parish. Outside of the Mass, Adoration is the most important thing we do. I am so grateful for Dave and Fran Grattan, and more recently, Joe Meller, along with the Captains and all the Adorers over the years who have done a great job in leading this ministry. I am happy to introduce a more comprehensive and streamlined functionality for our Perpetual Adoration ministry called Adoration Pro. This new electronic process will keep the Committed Adorers always up to date and make it easy for us to see unattended hours. In addition, it will make it easy for anyone to sign up to become a Committed Adorer, which if you are not one yet, I encourage you to become one. You will be able to sign up through our website or in the chapel on the tablet. It will also help finding a substitute easier, which is important since, as I hope you know, we cannot leave Jesus unattended, ever. If you have any questions about it, please contact me or Kathleen Foley in the Parish Office. Through Him, With Him, In Him, Fr. Chad King Rest in Peace Mary Farabaugh May the Angels lead her into Paradise. May the Choir of Angels welcome her and may she have everlasting life. 5

You can also Like us on Facebook at Frequently Asked Questions How do I register? All Catholics living in the Parish area and regularly participating in the liturgy are invited to register in the Parish. Church attendance alone does NOT make you and your family registered members. Registration is required for Baptism, First Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage and Catholic Education programs. Adults 18and over need to be registered separately from their parents in order to get married, have their own children baptized, or be Godparents or Sponsors. In order to be a Godparent or Sponsor or to receive discounted tuition rates at Catholic Schools, one must be a registered Catholic and active in the parish, which is indicated by use of contribution envelopes or the Online Giving program. Registration forms can be filled out in the Parish Office or via our parish website. How do I have my child Baptized? Before scheduling the date, please call the Office for a welcoming conversation with the priest. A preparation class is also required for parents prior to the child s Baptism and are offered once a month. How do I request a Communion Call or Anointing of the Sick? Please call the parish office at DO NOT WAIT until someone is near death to have the person anointed! Although Anointing of the Sick was once known as Last Rites, waiting until a person is near death could risk that person not being able to receive the sacrament if he or she should pass away prior to the priest being able to arrive. Anointing of the Sick can only be administered while the person is still alive. How do I get married in the Church? The Diocese of Phoenix requires a NINE MONTH marriage preparation process. John Deg, Director of Married Life Ministries, will meet with you to explain the process, including when you will meet with the Pastor to set a date. Do NOT set the date prior to this meeting as it cannot be guaranteed until then.
