Third Sunday of Easter
“But Peter and the apostles said in reply ‘We must obey God rather than men. The God of
our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had Him killed by hanging Him on a tree.
God exalted Him at his right hand as leader
and savior to grant Israel repentance and
forgiveness of sins. We are witnesses of these things, as is the Holy Spirit whom God
has given to those who obey him.’ So they left the Sanhedrin rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the
sake of the name.”
How amazing that in such a short time following Peter’s denial, he boldly proclaimed his faith before the very same authority. He
had no trouble stating that he and his companions were witnesses of the grace of
the paschal mystery. The Easter time is most appropriate for all to
consider what it means to be a witness and how we can make this same mystery
relevant to our needy world. We remind ourselves of the basic steps. We
have an encounter with the Risen Christ, through the scriptures, a special event,
through one of His ministers. We are drawn to form a relationship with Him through prayer. This leads us to become like Peter,
knowing the Christ and then willingly speak of Him, and His role in our lives.
Consider for a moment. What if Peter’s talk
had not been recorded in the Acts of the
Apostles? What if he had failed to answer
the question posed by Jesus - – ‘Peter do you love me?’ Peter indicated he was a witness. Am I?
ADULT GUATEMALA TRIP Have you ever dreamed of serving the poor in a foreign country but didn’t know how to get started? This is your chance! It doesn’t require a special skill set; all it requires is a strong back and a willing heart. Our 2016 trip is scheduled for July 16- 23rd. For the past seven years our college students from CTK have traveled with Erin to Antigua, Guatemala to work with FROM HOUSES TO HOMES. In July of 2015, eleven adult members of our parish made their first trip to Guatemala and working alongside the dedicated staff of FROM HOUSES TO HOMES were able to build two homes for two needy families in one week!
Do you have the desire to share what you have been given with those less fortunate? Would you like to share this experience with a Cornerstone friend or a member of your family, a sister, or a parent perhaps? If you would like more information about our upcoming trip we will be holding an information session on April 10th right after the 11 am mass downstairs in the parish hall. Unable to make it but interested in going? Please contact Christine Anderson at [email protected]. Come join us and make a difference one home at a time.
