Sit with the passage as one would with a good friend- not just thinking or analyzing, but instead remaining in a quiet, listening spirit, so the word can nurture and challenge you.

Dear Parishioners: What a glorious celebration of Easter! Though the crowds were large and the parking challenging, I hope you agree with me that our Holy Week and Easter celebrations were most meaningful and beautiful! I extend my deepest thanks to Father Jim who oversaw all the details of these liturgies and to everyone who participated in making them so powerful: our Sacristans, Church decorating committee, our Choir, Folk Group, Musicians, Altar Servers, Hospitality Ministers/ Ushers, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Cantors, Children s Liturgy Committee, Information Table Committee, Tableau Stations participants, Parking Lot attendants, the Cub Scouts who prepared the Easter fire, Seminarians, Deacons and Priests. We are so blest to have such an incredible array of individuals who care so deeply about our parish and offer their time and talents in service to St. Louis. Each of you made Holy Week and Easter a most wonderful celebration of our Catholic Faith and I thank you sincerely. I also wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to those who so generously contributed to the Easter collection and to the special Poor Box appeal for the victims of the earthquake in Italy. Your response amounted to $5200.00 which is being sent to Archbishop Molinari of L Aquila to be used as can be of most help to the people of his devastated town. May God bless you one and all! Msgr. Luca P.S. Don t forget next Sunday s (April 26 th ) Spring Concert in the church at 4pm! Our concerts are not to be missed! THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK If God would grant me but one thing, I d choose again another spring. The flowers for the Altar are given this weekend in loving memory of Paul Tribles. Our sincere gratitude is extended to the Tricia Reynold for providing this weekend s flowers.

SECOND COLLECTIONS April 26 Building Fund STEWARDSHIP MESSAGE When the risen Christ encounters his disciples in the locked room, he adds a new Beatitude to the ones we ve heard proclaimed before Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. Stewards of the mysteries of God s love do not need proof of the risen Christ. They know it because their lives have been transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit who has breathed new life into them. As stewards of this great gift, it is appropriate to reflect on how we, in turn, add new life into our parish communities.

YOUTH DIRECTOR S COMMENTS YOUTH DIRECTOR S COMMENTS: APRIL 18-19 When my kids were much younger (ages 1-5), I would whistle as I came home, especially after a weekend away. It was always the same whistle sound with always the same response. My kids would come running from wherever they were and jump in my arms, hugging my neck and yelling, Daddy s home! Daddy s home! Doesn t happen too much anymore now that they are older, but I will always remember the sheer joy and excitement as we greeted each other. I can t even begin to imagine, though, the excitement at finding the tomb empty or the joy at being in a room with the Risen Jesus. Was it completely overwhelming or were there some tinges of doubt or regret or just plain awe? What we celebrated last weekend can only give us joy and excitement if we really reflect on our God s desire to come to earth, to suffer, die and rise so that we would live always with Him! During this Easter season, take time to accept the Risen Jesus more into your heart and mind and soul. Ask Him for the joy and abundance of life that He promises for all of us who believe.
