Third Sunday of Easter April 15, 2018 You alone, O LORD, bring security to my dwelling. -- Psalm 4:9 BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST Throughout the Easter season, all three of the Sunday readings are taken from the New Testament--the Christian scriptures. Together they explore what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the One who fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish scriptures. Today's selections refer to our human weakness, yet they emphasize the forgiveness and peace that are available to those who put their faith in "Jesus Christ the righteous one" (1 John 2:2). In the Acts of the Apostles Peter invites everyone to "repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away" (Acts 3:19). The First Letter of John calls Jesus Christ "expiation for our sins" (1 John 2:2). Finally, in the Gospel Jesus greets the disciples with "Peace" and urges them to preach "repentance, for the forgiveness of s i n s " ( L u k e 2 4 : 4 7 ). Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Fr.

Some have a central authority in a congregation, and others have a "rule" that is shared by all the members, but are a kind of federation of independent houses. Sometimes, congregations with distinct histories and ministries decide to merge. Several years ago, one of the largest mergers on record took place. Seven independent congregations of Dominican women religious, most in the Midwest, are now one new congregation enfolding more than seven hundred members spanning thirty-six states. The oldest of the founding groups, the so-called "Kentucky Dominicans," began as a frontier community in 1822. Other communities have European roots. To get to this historic moment, the sisters spent many years in conversation, and approved the new structure by a two-thirds majority vote. This was then ratified by the Holy See. The merger allows the sisters to pool their resources in order to be more effective in ministry. They are living the Paschal Mystery, experiencing Christ's dying and rising in an inspiring way. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

These men of God celebrate Mass, administer the sacraments, and walk with us still. Our Diocesan priests have given us decades of faithful service, receiving modest compensation for their work. Many of priests continue their ministry for years after retirement, assisting in parishes with weekend liturgies, hearing confessions, and visiting the sick. These priests rely on their payments from Social Security and the Priest Retirement Plan for their needs. In recent years the number of retired priests has grown significantly to 44, challenging the diocesan retirement resources. Your generosity to this appeal helps us keep an important promise of care to the priests who have been good Shepherds and have kept their promises to us. 4.8.18 $11,518 $10,127 Year to Date $545,453 $463,580 Surplus $81,873 Thank you for your kind generosity and support.
