St. Pius Stained Glass Window Project
With the help of donated materials, volunteer
labor, and donations from parishioners, the win-
dow repair project did not result in the need to
use any parish funds to cover any of the
costs. Thank you to everyone who helped with
this effort either through hands on work or by
contributing financially. Although this was not
a project the parish would have chosen to do, it
During my Catechesis to the kids taking religious
education classes a question came out about the Holy
Mass as the representation of Jesus’ sacrifice
on the Cross?
As our Bishop David Rickencontinue to urge us priest to
talk about the Eucharistic Revival through this first year of
the Worship Jesus in our Diocese, I thinklet us begin our
Easter journeying ourselves through the Holy Eucharist.
When we say representation, it is an act on behalf of
someone you are representing. And so, in the Holy Mass
that we participate, the priest is representing Jesus Christ,
not himself, because according to
Pope Benedict XVI:
“The priest is a bridge between God and Man.”
This also includes the servers, readers, Eucharistic
ministers and all those helping the priest in the altar are
called the representative ministers of Christ. It makes
sense, that the priest goes on through ordination by the
B
ishop, to confirmed to the people that this is the
representative of Christ “Alter Christus,”anointed and
blessed by the Bishop to do Jesus’ works.
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord (John
20:19)
Reflection: A Mystery Beyond Words
Mary Magdalene finds the empty tomb and runs to the
apostles to tell them her astonishing news. Only in St John’s
account are the apostles directly involved in finding that the
tomb was empty, though neither Jesus nor an angel gave
them any guidance about what it meant. The Beloved
Disciple was beside Peter to see the discarded burialcloths
within the tomb, and he at once realized what this meant:
that Jesus was risen from the dead!
I remember my emotion on seeing the red rock buttes, steep
canyon walls and fine forests in Sedona, Arizona visit last
January; my vital organs were thrilled by the awesomeness
of it all. I used my camera, trying to capture the sight, the
emotions and the wonder of it. Later I realized the futility of
such photos when I came home and tried to explain to my
fellow Filipino priest what the experience was like. They
would need to see it for themselves to appreciate its
grandeur. As the saying goes,“For those who don’t know,
no words are possible, and for those who understand, no
words are necessary.”We sense something like this when
reading the resurrection story. It tells of a deeply mysterious
fact, but we can’t quite capture what its impact was in the
hearts of the disciples, that first Easter day.
The Easter message, this trulygreatnews, is timelessly
true, and so it is still a message forhere and now. We can
identify with each person in the story told by Saint John
today. Are we like Mary Magdalene who loves to share with
others the news of the resurrection? Or do we run eagerly to
the tomb, like Peter and John, to find out how and whether
Jesus can still feature in our lives? Only rarely do
weexperiencethe Easter mystery ± but we can catch some
hint of the wonder of it from the Gospel stories. The
message is that God does not forget or forsake us, and the
darkest hour is just before the dawn.
On Easter morning, the stone was rolled away. Are our
hearts like a tomb awaiting new life? Is anything holding us
back from renewal of spirit? Is there any hint of addiction,
a
ny dark secret never shared with anyone. We can be
sickened by our secrets. But as Pope Francis says,“we are
called to be people of joyful hope, not prophets of
doom.”Through the resurrection of Jesus, we get an
infusion of hope and joy, and an invitation to share them by
our way of living.
Happy Easter!
Peace and Joy,
Father Demos
