Merici Chapel...Easter is not chocolate bunnies,

jelly beans or marshmallow chicks — it is the gift

of eternal life given to us by Jesus by His sacrifice

on Good Friday & His Resurrection on Easter

Sunday. Try & stop by Merici Chapel on the way

to celebrate Easter & say “I love you & thank you,

Jesus, for your love to me.”

St. Charles Borromeo Church April 5, 2015

A priest is expected to have his “funeral

plan” on file with the Diocese. Planning your

funeral is a sobering experience. What do you want

to say? How would you like to be remembered?

Planning your funeral also reminds you that death is

inevitable. The Lenten display in our church sanctuary startled us

with the Latin phrase “memento mori,” in English, “remember,

you must die.” Those who study human behavior note that a great

number of people will not even consider writing a will; they do not

want to be reminded that death is certain to come. Our celebration of Easter is a powerful reminder that

physical death must come—but it is not the end of the story!

For Christian people, we are guaranteed the gift of eternal life—

if our earthly life has been lived in Christ.

St John’s Gospel states forthrightly: “whoever believes in

Him may not die, but may have eternal life,”

St Matthew clarifies the point; Jesus has saved us, but we

must accept that salvation. Those who live a Christ-like life

(“what you do for the least among you, you do for me”) will hear

the words “well done, good and faithful servant! If it makes no

difference how we live our lives, then what did Jesus save us from? The agony of Jesus on Good Friday reminds us that the choices we

make in this life have eternal consequences.

This is my thirty-ninth year as a priest. Since I came to

St Charles thirty-two years ago, I have attended at least two

hundred wakes per year (our annual average of funerals).

That works out to almost 6,500 parishioners who have died. That

number of living people would fill our church about ten times over.

Everyone deserves a decent funeral. Funeral homilies

often place the deceased in heaven. But perhaps we err if we

imply that. We have all known some truly holy and sincerely

virtuous people. If they are not with the saints in heaven, we would wonder: who is? But what of those others whose commitment to

Christ is very limited, or somewhat casual, or practically

non-existent? We can hear the Rich Man’s words in the Gospel:

“Send someone to them from the dead! Then they would believe!”

We have such a Messenger: He experienced death and then rose to

eternal life—and he invites us to share in that life with him.

Lent has offered us forty days to ponder the big questions

and to re-commit ourselves to a Christ-like way of life. Now

Eastertime will offer us fifty days to celebrate what Jesus has done

for us.

Listen to the Gospel stories describing events after the Resurrection. When those who had been closest to the Lord

encounter Him after He rose from the dead, they are at first unable

to recognize Him. Only after He speaks, only after they ponder

His new existence do they come to believe. The Apostles and

Disciples, previously timid and fearful, became zealous and

courageous: those who experienced the Risen Christ then went out

and changed the world

Our experience with the Risen Christ—in our weekly

worship, in the Scriptures, in the Sacraments, in our encounters

with one another—should move us to “change our world.”

Perhaps not as dramatically as we read in the Acts of the Apostles, but certainly within our families, where we work, and in our

associations with others.

Remember the old question? “If you were on trial for

being a follower of Jesus Christ, would there be enough evidence

in your life to convict you?”

LIFE IS CHANGED, NOT ENDED Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord

Mary Good

Where, When, Why and How of our Congregation. The book

is being provided at no cost to our Church, including the

mailing to each family, and again is being subsidized by

local businesses that advertise in it. If you own or manage

a business and would like to find out about advertising in

our book, please call the Parish Office (440)884-3030.

advertise in our new Guide Book & Directory.

“NO COST” ANNULMENTS

Older folks remember that once a couple married in

the Catholic Church and lived together, the marital bond was in

place ''till death we do part." In the last forty years, the Church

has come to recognize that some marriages were just "not

right" from the beginning. When a marriage breaks up and

the civil divorce is final, marriages can be considered for a

church annulment.

Unfortunately, there are lots of rumors and poor

information when it comes to annulments: "it takes years"

or “thousands of dollars" are required. In truth, most cases are

decided within a year and the suggested marriage tribunal fee

was $450; and that fee could be waived for those in

financial difficulty. That tribunal fee did not "buy an

annulment" but it did help to pay for tribunal salaries and

expenses.

On May 30th, 2014, Bishop Lennon announced a

new policy for the Diocese of Cleveland: all annulment

cases will now be accepted and processed free of any charge.

The Diocese of Cleveland will fully subsidize the work of the

diocesan marriage tribunal. This new policy is effective

immediately.

The form of Catholic marriage is free consent given

before a priest/deacon and two witnesses. For those who

require an annulment from a former marriage, please

contact the priest/deacon of your choice and he will help you

prepare and file your case-now free of charge!
