27 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. 28 A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on him-self. 30 That is why many among you are ill and infirm, and a considerable number are dying. 31 If we discerned ourselves, we would not be under judgment; 32 but since we are judged by (the) Lord, we are being disciplined so that we may not be con-demned along with the world.
REFLECTIONS “CHRIST IS RISEN! ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!” May all who read this share in the grace and joy of Faith. Most profoundly, we wish you all a most Blessed Easter. May the Risen Christ fill your heart. Listen to St. Paul: 1 Corinthians 15:1-19 1 Now I am reminding you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you indeed received and in which you also stand. 2 Through it you are also being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 3 For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; 4 that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in ac-cordance with the scriptures; 5 that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hun-dred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me has not been ineffective. Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them; not I, however, but the grace of God (that is) with me. 11 Therefore, whether it be I or they, so we preach and so you believed. 12 But if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then empty (too) is our preaching; empty, too, your faith. 15 Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are the most pitiable people of all.
St. Bede Adult Faith Series: “Bread of Life” pre-sented by Fr. Eugene Lauer and coordinated by Mary Anne Mason
I am grateful to Father Lauer for his presentations and to Mary Anne and the Adult Faith Committee for their tire-less work in this project. Listen again to what St. Paul has to tell the Church in Corinth
1 Corinthians 11:23-32 (NAB) 23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, 24 and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." 25
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. (continued in col. 1 )

It is de-signed to define who our members are, update contact information and identify talents and interest in ministries as well as the needs of our parishioners. It is meant to deepen our experience of Stewardship, recognizing that each member and their gifts are so important to the vitali-ty of our parish. Each registered household will receive a mailing during the week of April 3. It will include a letter from Fr. Bryce and a two page Parish Census Form. Pre-populated with information currently on file for your household, it will take less than ten minutes to update and complete. The form can then be returned by mail or placed in the collec-tion basket. Alternatively, a blank census form can be filled out electronically by following the link on the St. Bede website. Find out more about the Census at the An-nual Parish Assembly Sunday, April 3 at 4:00 PM in the school cafeteria or by calling the rectory.
