THE EASTER OCTAVE

Sunday, April 5 - Sunday, April 12, 2020 Eastertime lasts fifty days: seven weeks of seven days (seven equals Biblical perfection) plus one day: perfec-tion plus! Like an eight-day Jewish wedding, or a child who can’t bear to let go of Christmas, birthdays, and school vacation, the Church celebrates the Easter Oc-tave: “the marriage of heaven and earth,” as the Vigil calls Jesus’ resurrection; our new members’ baptismal rebirth; our renewal of baptismal vows; our hearts’ “divine vacation” (Latin vacare, “to be empty”), newfound time and space for love of God and neighbor. Make home an Easter garden! Adorn the dining table with a pillar candle (your “paschal candle”), a bowl full of water (ideally, from the parish’s baptismal font), a vase of flow-ers or bowl of sprouting grain with Easter eggs. Even non-singers can handle the three-fold Gospel Alleluia! Let that be your grace before meals, perhaps with a prayer recalling Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35): “Be known to us, Risen Lord Jesus, as you were to the first disciples, in your word, in the breaking of bread, and in everyone we meet.” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Easter Prayer for Children Dear God,

Thank you for giving us such good gifts. For our families who love us. For yummy food and tasty drink. For so many different beautiful animals. For parks with tall trees and soft grass. For birds that fly among the clouds. For seas and streams that are

fun to paddle in. And thank you for your son Jesus. We like to read about him

in the Bible. He taught his disciples about you. He healed people who were sick. He walked on water, and even died and

came back to life. Help us to remember all the things he did and celebrate him on this special day. ~Amen.

This is a picture of our sanctuary when we celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation last June. How many items can you name? Hint…..check our parish website, click on the Faith Formation tab, then see the “Church Trivia” power point presentation. Do this now while you are at home, then when we come together again to pray, find the items in our church.

Please continue to stay informed with the Parish via our

Website www.omgccc.org and Facebook. We continue to

pray for the well-being of all our parishioners and look

forward to seeing everyone soon. Please leave a message on

the voicemail and we will contact you as soon as possible.

If you have any emergency, please call Fr. Joe at

708-789-3609. You may also email at

www.omgccc@comcast.net.

Please stay positive and keep the FAITH.
