BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST

Throughout the Easter season, all three of the Sunday readings are taken from the New Testament--the Christian scriptures. Together they explore what it means to believe in Jesus as the Christ, the One who fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish scriptures.

Today's selections refer to our human weakness, yet they emphasize the forgiveness and peace that are available to those who put their faith in "Jesus Christ the righteous one" (1 John 2:2).

In the Acts of the Apostles Peter invites everyone to "repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away" (Acts 3:19). The First Letter of John calls Jesus Christ "expiation for our sins" (1 John 2:2). Finally, in the Gospel Jesus greets the disciples with "Peace" and urges them to preach "repentance, for the forgiveness of sins" (Luke 24:47). Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading -- The God of our fathers has glorified his servant Jesus (Acts 3:13-15, 17-19). Psalm -- Lord, let your face shine on us (Psalm 4). Second Reading -- The way we may be sure that we know Jesus is to keep his commandments (1 John 2:1-5a). Gospel -- Jesus stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you" (Luke 24:35-48).

EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS OF THE EUCHARIST

Our Church is in great need of your compassion, prayers and time to share God’s love and serve our neighbor. Saint Martin of Tours’ Homebound Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist serve in a very special and loving way by bringing Holy Communion (Body of Christ) prayers and time to those who are sick, hospitalized, or too infirmed to attend Holy Mass. Volunteering your time is one of the most rewarding ways for doing God’s work. Join us and help us bring comfort and the healing power of Christ in the Eucharist to the homebound and sick. Training and guidance are provided. For more information contact Deacon Al via email at: [email protected] or 619.465.5334.

The jamboree is filled with local merchants, live music, auctions, raffle, games rides, food, vendors, crafters and more. An event for the whole family.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There are many ways in which religious communities are organized. Some have a central authority in a congregation, and others have a "rule" that is shared by all the members, but are a kind of federation of independent houses.

Sometimes, congregations with distinct histories and ministries decide to merge. Several years ago, one of the largest mergers on record took place. Seven independent congregations of Dominican women religious, most in the Midwest, are now one new congregation enfolding more than seven hundred members spanning thirty-six states.

The oldest of the founding groups, the so-called "Kentucky Dominicans," began as a frontier community in 1822. Other communities have European roots. To get to this historic moment, the sisters spent many years in conversation, and approved the new structure by a two-thirds majority vote. This was then ratified by the Holy See. The merger allows the sisters to pool their resources in order to be more effective in ministry. They are living the Paschal Mystery, experiencing Christ's dying and rising in an inspiring way.--Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
