April-

National Child Abuse Awareness Month

DID YOU KNOW?

VIRTUS and Background Screenings )

The VIRTUS: Protecting God’s Children for Adults program is an integral component to the prevention effort

within each parish and school. VIRTUS outlines the issues surrounding child sexual abuse and brings awareness

to the ways that sexual abuse harms victims, their families and communities.

A key element of the training is recognizing the warning signs of abuse and demonstrating the appropriate ways

to respond to suspicious behavior.

VIRTUS Training empowers each participant with the 5 steps of prevention:

▪ Knowing the warning signs of abuse ▪ Being aware of child and youth

▪ Controlling access to children through screening behavior

▪ Monitoring all programs and ministries ▪ Communicating concerns

REFLECTION

TODAY’S READINGS:

SUNDAY, April 21

Acts 10:34, 37-43

Colossians 3:1-4

John 20:1-9

REFLECTIONS

Can you imagine that moment? Can you imagine

the stomach drop with dizzying realization: "It's all

true. All of it is true! The past three years weren't a

dream that ended horribly wrong." Can you imagine

all the doubts and despair of the past days chased

away like smoke on the wind by a rolled up burial

cloth? By an empty tomb? It didn't start that way, of

course. "'They have taken the Lord from the tomb,

and we don't know where they put him.'" This frantic

news from Mary Magdalene would have been

another unexpected blow. After all that happened,

now his body has been stolen? The love and

devotion in Peter and John is apparent. They don't

wait to collect more information or stop by the tomb

when they have a chance. They run to the site.

When is the last time you ran for something? This

isn't a run for exercise, but a huffing and puffing bolt

fueled by desperation. Can you imagine that

moment? The fear pounding in their temples,

matching their accelerated heart rate. Can you

imagine the impatient affection of John, who outruns

Peter but refuses to enter the tomb alone? And

then, upon entry, "He saw and believed." This is the

drama of our great feast! The promise that seemed

lost has been found. The dead are raised. Long

before the Easter eggs and ham, we are invited to

meditate on this divine reality. We are invited to feel

the desperation and joy of that first Easter Sunday

deep in our bones. Because it is not just Mary's

story. It's not Peter and John's story. It's our story.

From the greatest defeat can come the most awe-

inspiring victory, and this is true not just for our God,

but for each one of us. He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Called by Name: Mary. Even in the garden of the

resurrection, Jesus goes unrecognized at first. The

Gospel of John records a weeping woman,

mistaking the risen savior for a gardener. Until, that

is, she is called by name. Mary.

Robert. Catherine. Joanne. Steven. Hailey. Travis.

Jesus rises for you. He rises for me. He rises for

each and every one of us. We are called by name in

the garden of the resurrection. This Sunday and

every Sunday, Jesus comes to meet us. Imagine

sitting with him. How is he looking at you? What do

you say to him? When the resurrected Lord greets

you with a smile, how do you respond? -LPI

Easter Prayer of Thanksgiving

Good and gracious heavenly Father, we come

before you on this Easter Sunday with full

and grateful hearts for the gift of the Paschal

Mystery that you showed us in the life, death,

and resurrection of your Son, our brother by

adoption, Jesus Christ. Bless us and all those

who profess belief in your saving love. Bless

also those who have yet to profess belief in you. You are

God for all. We ask all this in Christ's name. Amen.

We all know that music doesn’t exist on

the pages of a worship aid or hymnal;

it lives somewhere in the bones of each worshiper.

The combined efforts of so many

in our ministry have brought life to our

Triduum and Easter music,

supporting our congregants to become

the one joyful voice of our faith community.

Many hours have been spent in rehearsal

and refinement of beautiful sacred masterworks

that have so greatly enhanced

the worship of all of those gathered.

Thank you!�

Many thanks to the members of St. Edward Music Minist��

Thank you to the Liturgical Ministers who served our parish

and guests this Easter weekend - Altar Ministers, Sacristans,

Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Altar Servers, and Ministers

of Hospitality.

Thank you to Susan Johnson for taking care of all

the issues that arise during these services.

Thank you to Kelly Weaver for staffing our Nursery

and watching over our little ones.

Thank you to Kathleen Wood and the many

parishioners who helped with the food

preparation, serving, and clean up for the Easter

Vigil reception.

And, thank you to our Arts and Environment group

who helped decorate our worship spaces

throughout the seasons of Lent, Holy Week, and Easter.

Your dedication is commendable and we greatly appreciate each

one of you. May God bless you in your ministry to our Church and

our parishioners.

Earth Day and "Laudato Si"

Stewardship is an ethic that

embodies the responsible

planning and management of

resources. The concepts of

stewardship can be applied to

the environment and nature,

economics, health, property,

information, theology, indeed,

all aspects of life.

Responsible planning and management of resources.

That is what we are called to do with the environment.

Not only the natural environment, but also the man-made

environment in which we live.

Pope Francis has made a compelling statement on the

environment by saying that we are truly the masters of the

environment and that we are called by God to protect it,

not only for ourselves but also for those who live on the

fringes of the community, those who have no voice.

In paragraph 13 of his encyclical, "Laudato Si," the pope

says: "The urgent challenge to protect our common home

includes a concern to bring the whole human family

together to seek a sustainable and integral development,

for we know that things can change. The Creator does not

abandon us; he never forsakes his loving plan or repents

of having created us. Humanity still has the ability to work

together in building our common home. Here I want to

recognize, encourage, and thank all those striving in

countless ways to guarantee the protection of the home

which we share. Particular appreciation is owed to those

who tirelessly seek to resolve the tragic effects of

environmental degradation on the lives of the world's

poorest. Young people demand change. They wonder

how anyone can claim to be building a better future

without thinking of the environmental crisis and the

sufferings of the excluded."

So as we move toward implementing the pope's vision

of care for our common environmental heritage, let us

keep each other in prayer as we protect and steward

our mother earth.

EARTH DAY

NOW THAT WARM WEATHER IS HERE)

Environmental Working Group is a non-profit, non-

partisan organization dedicated to protecting human

health and the environment by providing research

and education to empower people to live healthier

lives in a healthier environment.

Check out their Guide to Sunscreen online at

www.ewg.org/sunscreen. It provides information on

sunscreens to help you make the right choice.

Our Church teaches us to take care of our bodies

and our earth! We show our respect for our Creator

by our stewardship of creation. Care for earth is a

requirement of our faith. We are called to protect

people and the planet, living our faith in relationship

with all of God’s creation.

Some listeners thought this sounded like

modern mindfulness, the stilling of thoughts to

be simply “in the moment”. There were

similarities, but he preferred to put it in the

context of Christian contemplation through the

ages: of the Desert Fathers or St. John of the

Cross, who wrote that “God’s first language is

silence.” (Fr. Thomas liked to add, to that,

“Everything else is a bad translation.”) He also

gave contemplation a modern twist, calling it

“divine psychotherapy”. In centering prayer the

mind was purified of emotional traumas

repressed, often from childhood, in the

unconscious, and the false self made true

again, open in humility (“the greatest strength

there is”) to grace and to the needs of others.

Long before Freud, a loving God had been

secretly doing this. -Fr. Thomas Keating
