Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Resurrection Tradition
The most important tradition in the history of Christian faith, long before the Bi-ble was put together as we have it today is that of the bodily resurrection of Christ. St. Paul began writing about that tradition in last weekend’s second read-ing taken from his first letter to the Corinthians. As he puts it, “I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ …was raised on the third day….”
The following paragraphs from the Catechism provide more for us to reflect on:
“Belief in the resurrection of the dead has been an essential element of the Chris-tian faith from its beginnings. ‘The confidence of Christians is the resurrection of the dead; believing this we live.’ How can some of you say that there is no resur-rection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. .. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. (CCC, 991)
“The frequent New Testament affirmations that Jesus was ‘raised from the dead’ presuppose that the crucified one sojourned in the realm of the dead prior to his resurrection. This was the first meaning given in the apostolic preaching to Christ’s descent into hell: that Jesus, like all men, experienced death and in his soul joined the others in the realm of the dead. But he descended there as Savior, proclaiming the Good News to the spirits imprisoned there. (CCC, 632)
“Finally, Christ’s Resurrection – and the risen Christ himself is the principle and source of our future resurrection: ‘Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. .. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.’ The risen Christ lives in the hearts of his faithful while they await that fulfillment. In Christ, Christians ‘have tasted. .. the powers of the age to come’ and their lives are swept up by Christ into the heart of divine life, so that they may ‘live no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.’”(CCC, 655)
The experience of the Risen Lord by the apostles and the tradition of sharing it did not go unchallenged by many others. Hence, “From the beginning, Christian faith in the resurrection has met with incomprehension and opposition. ‘On no point does the Christian faith encounter more opposition than on the resurrection of the body.’ It is very commonly accepted that the life of the human person con-tinues in a spiritual fashion after death. But how can we believe that this body, so clearly mortal, could rise to everlasting life?” (CCC, 996)
We celebrate this tradition and faith in the resurrection whenever we celebrate the Eucharist and especially so on the day of the Lord.

This year, BASA invites each of us to give thanks to the Lord in response to all that has been given to us by God. It is our job to be good stew-ards of all that we have been gifted with. Please prayerfully re-spond to this year’s Annual Appeal with a gift of any amount – Lord, it is good to give thanks to you.

STEWARDSHIP AWARENESS SUNDAY “Blessed are you when people hate you,…exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name…on account of the Son of Man.”
(Luke 6:22)
All of us have been in situations when someone has made a negative comment or joke about God or our Catholic faith. How did you respond? Did you stay silent or pretend to go along with the crowd because you didn’t want to cause waves and then, later, you felt bad? Know that God is with you all the time, the Holy Spirit will put the right words in your mouth. Pray for the strength and cour-age to proclaim our faith to others, especially during uncomfortable situations.
WORD OF LIFE “Called to serve the people and the common good, [civil leaders] have a duty to make courageous choices in support of life, especially through legislative measures.”
DID YOU KNOW OUR FAITH? Sunday is the pre-eminent day for the faithful as it is when the faithful gather to listen to the Word of God and to take part in the Eucharist. It is here that the faithful call to mind the Passion, Resurrection, and glory of the Lord and give thanks to God for our renewal in hope. (CCC#1167)
