Kuforiji s voice mail: 541-347-2309 Email: gkuforiji@archdpdx.org www.facebook.com/ HolyTrinityBandon.org 3rd Sunday of Easter ~ April 15, 2018 Main Theme: FAITH that God will HEAR us when we call upon him in PRAYER. This psalm is an individual lament in which the psalmist expresses his deep faith that God will hear him when he calls upon him in prayer to relieve him from distress, restore his happiness, and grant him a peaceful security. As it has been chosen to accompany today s first reading, the psalm s lament can be considered to be spoken by Jesus himself, who, as Peter declares, was handed over and denied in Pilate s presence, even though he had decided to release him as innocent. As the unjustly accused holy and righteous one, then, Jesus could aptly, like the psalmist, pray to my just God to relieve me when I am in distress. God s answer in raising Jesus from the dead then corresponds to the psalm s exclamation that the Lord does wonders for his faithful one. The benefit that Jesus resurrection means for us can be viewed as the answer to the psalmist s prayer -- O Lord, let the light of your countenance (divine favor) shine upon us! By raising Jesus, God put gladness in the heart of the psalmist and us. And, like the psalmist, we can fall peacefully asleep in the security God brings to our dwelling because of our faith that the God who raised Jesus will also raise us from the dead.

It begins: REJOICE AND BE GLAD (Mt 5:12), Jesus tells those persecuted or humiliated for his sake. The Lord asks everything of us, and in return he offers us true life, the happiness for which we were created. He wants us to be saints and not to settle for a bland and mediocre existence.
