THE CORNER APR 1 2018 He Has Risen Today we celebrate the beautiful feast of Easter. As has been the tradition here at St. Cecilia for years, at the singing of the Gloria, the back altar doors will open. The doors will open after a long fast from the triumphant image of Jesus Christ risen from the dead. Through this image, we see that there is indeed a happy ending. There is a happy ending to the agony in the garden, the mocking, the scourging, the carrying of the cross, the nailing of the Lord to the cross, and the crucifixion and death of our Lord. Through all that suffering, Jesus manages to rise above and be victorious. He humbles himself and becomes like us, enduring all of humanity s worst qualities not only to show his power that obviously points to who he is, the Messiah, but, most importantly, to show that death cannot defeat him. The point that we can learn from the Easter resurrection is that death doesn t have power over us either. Indeed, through Christ we can rise victorious over death. Our earthly existence is not the end of our lives but rather a new chapter a chapter that leads us to be united with our God for all eternity. The reward, however, comes to fruition only because Jesus also conquers sin. He rises victorious over the sin of the world and offers himself as the Lamb of God and God accepts him and we are given the freedom to become his children, able to rise above our own sins and the sins of the whole world. We celebrate that moment of acceptance when God accepts Jesus, the Lamb of God, and the most acceptable sacrifice, at the Great Amen. Now all of us can share in his happy ending and blossom like God has intended, becoming reflections of love itself as revealed in Jesus. Through God s revelation of himself, we are shown that the way to truly live free is by being one with the Father, and no longer slaves to our own selfish purposes but living for the highest of aspirations to be united to God on this earth and in heaven. That is the Easter joy that we celebrate and that permeates our senses today. That is the new life that we embrace and that overshadows the cross and allows the world to bloom as God dreams for us. Amen? Amen! ALTAR GU ILD SCHEDU LE FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 2-8 3 The Brotherhood of the Holy Rosary Pray the rosary. Witness your faith.

EASTSIDE FAITH For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 A Gospel Reflection by Father Jason Williams 4 LUKE 24:13-35 He has been raised! Saint Paul reminds us that if Jesus Christ had not risen from the dead we would have no hope. We believe that sin is not victorious, that death will not have the last word. Love and mercy triumph over sin, and life is born even from the sleep of death. We have heard these truths many times. They are the basis of our hope because they are the fruit of Jesus Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Just as the Father restored Jesus to life, so too does God restore us to life. This happens time and again in little ways throughout our lives when we return to God, seeking mercy for having sinned against him and against our neighbor. And at the end of time, this restoration to life will happen in a big way, the definitive resurrection of the dead. We believe that just as Jesus rose in his real body, although in a glorified state, we too will rise in our real bodies, also in a glorified state. That restoration to life will be eternal; death will have no power over us. As we enter into this joyous season of Easter, let us contemplate the incredible work of God s love which he accomplished through the Paschal Mystery of Jesus: he has ransomed us from death and opened the way to eternal life. May we beg from God the grace to live more closely to him, more dependent on his love and guidance, so that we may indeed live as his faithful and generous disciples, eager to share the message of the Gospel in this life and to live in the fullness of life with him for all eternity in heaven.

PARISH NEWS & NOTES Prayer Intentions for the Week We pray for God s healing grace for Jay Cahill. Contact Barb Browarsky at the parish office, (513) 871-5757, ext. 202, with Mass and sanctuary devotional candle intention requests. 6 Young Adult Initiative Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology, St. Meinrad, Ind., recently accepted a $1.38 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to begin the Young Adult Initiative, which is intended to improve parish outreach to young adults, ages 23-29, and better engage them with the Catholic Church. This five-year project will select partner parishes to assist them in developing innovative programs and ministries to meet the spiritual needs of young adults and better engage them with the Church. A key objective will be to strengthen the domestic church of young adult households. By partnering with Saint Meinrad, parishes will explore the demographics of their communities, learn more about today s young adults, and develop innovative strategies to better meet the spiritual needs of the young adults in their parish. Through outreach into the local community hosting events that include prayer, worship and fellowship the program will help parishes to form young adults in discipleship by creating service and study opportunities. Last fall, Sarah Rose Sperduto, Coordinator of Youth and Young Adult Ministry at St. Cecilia, applied to be a partner in the initiative. In January, the director of the Initiative, Michal Horace, came to Cincinnati to interview Sarah Rose and St. Cecilia s pastor, Fr. Jamie Weber. Mr. Horace informed them that the Initiative had received 96 applicants, which had been narrowed down to about 29 to interview. In the end, 16 parishes were chosen to participate in the Young Adult Initiative including Saint Cecilia! The parishes represent five states and 13 dioceses. Parishes range in size from 259 households to 2,578 households and include rural, urban and suburban parishes. Easter Gifts St. Cecilia parishioners and guests have always been most generous to the church at Easter with a special financial gift. Our annual budget depends on this generosity, but more importantly, it is the opportunity for you to make the final ultimate Lenten sacrifice of almsgiving. Please consider a special gift to St. Cecilia at this time. Thank you for your continued prayers and service to St. Cecilia parish. Your active stewardship provides the storehouse to build the Kingdom of God in our Oakley community and beyond. Easter Egg Hunt On Sunday, April 8, after the 10 AM Mass, our Moms Group will be hosting an Easter Egg Hunt in the yard next to church for children in the parish ages 6 and younger.
