Good News Reflection Easter Sunday: The Resurrection of the Lord April 1, 2018

Acts 10:34a, 37-43 Ps 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 Col 3:1-4 or 1 Cor 5:6b-8 John 20:1-9

God has surprises for you!

Celebrate! Today is the anniversary of the Great Surprise, and just as the first disciples were surprised to find the tomb empty, so too does God have some resurrection surpris-es in mind for you!

In Easter Sunday's Gospel reading, there's a lot of scurrying around and excitement and the reporting some amazing news that no one yet understands. Even though Jesus had given them advance notice that he would rise again after being put to death, God's plans took them by surprise. They did not expect a resurrection. They didn't understand that it was a necessary part of the Messiah's mission.

God's plans often take us by surprise. In so many situations of our lives, we don't understand that hard times are going to produce wonderful victories. We fail to realize that the empty tombs in our lives (the losses that we grieve) are beginnings of important new growth. We cannot imagine how Jesus is going to redeem bad times into great blessings.

We suffer through the hardships, just trying to cope, waiting for an opportunity to finally walk away from our crosses. Meanwhile, Jesus wants to give us an Easter morning because of the crosses.

How can we recognize the glory of God when we're depressed? How can we realize our resurrections when we're cursing our crosses? It's impossible!

To be the Easter people that we're supposed to be, we have to learn how to see the hope of resurrection in the pain of the cross. We have to trust that Jesus is always there, working a plan to redeem bad into good. We have to allow ourselves to be surprised by God.

Questions for Personal Reflection: What trials are you still enduring? What cross are you still carrying? Are you still being nailed for something you did not do? Which of your desires or dreams are dying? Ask the Father to use your sufferings for the glory of his kingdom. What new life is this creating for you?

Questions for Community Faith Sharing: What are some of the ways in which God has surprised you? How is this an experience of resurrection?

Reflexión de las Buenas Nuevas Misa de la Mañana de Pascua: La Resurrección del Señor Abril 1, 2018

Hechos 10, 34a. 37-43 Salmo 118, 1-2. 16-17. 22-23 Colosenses 3, 1-4 o 1 Corintios 5,6b-8 Juan 20, 1-9

¡Dios tiene sorpresas para ti! ¡Celebra! Hoy es el aniversario de la Gran Sorpresa, y así como los primeros discípulos se sorprendieron al encontrar la tumba vacía ¡también Dios tiene en mente algunas sorpresas de resurrección para ti!

En la lectura del Evangelio del Domingo de Pascua, hay muchas corridas y excitación y comentarios sobre no-ticias asombrosas que nadie comprende aún. Aunque Jesús les había advertido con anterioridad que se levanta-ría después de ser dado por muerto, los planes de Dios los tomaron por sorpresa. No esperaban una resurrec-ción. No comprendían que era una parte necesaria de la misión del Mesías.

Los planes de Dios a menudo nos toman por sorpresa. En muchas situaciones de nuestras vidas, no compren-demos que los tiempos difíciles resultarán en victorias maravillosas. No logramos darnos cuenta que las tum-bas vacías de nuestras vidas ( las pérdidas que lamentamos) son comienzos de nuevos e importantes crecimien-tos. No podemos imaginar cómo transformará Jesús los malos momentos en grandes bendiciones.

Sufrimos por las dificultades, tratamos de afrontarlas, esperando una oportunidad para finalmente poder es-capar de nuestras cruces. Mientras tanto, Jesús quiere darnos una mañana de Pascua gracias a nuestras cruces.

¿Cómo podemos reconocer la gloria de Dios cuando estamos deprimidos? ¿Cómo podemos darnos cuenta de nuestras resurrecciones mientras maldecimos nuestras cruces? ¡Es imposible!

Para ser el pueblo Pascual que supuestamente debemos ser, tenemos que aprender cómo ver la esperanza de la resurrección en el dolor de la cruz. Debemos confiar en que Jesús siempre está allí, elaborando un plan para cambiar el mal por bien. Debemos permitirnos ser sorprendidos por Dios.

Preguntas para la Reflexión Personal: ¿Qué pruebas están soportando aún? ¿Qué cruz estás aún cargando? ¿Estás todavía siendo clavado por algo que no hiciste? ¿Cuáles de tus deseos o sueños están muriendo? Pídele al Padre que utilice tus sufrimientos para la gloria de su reino. ¿Qué nueva vida está creando esto para ti?

Preguntas para Compartir la Fe en Comunidad: ¿Cuáles son algunas de las formas en que Dios te ha sorprendido? ¿Cómo es esto una experiencia de resurrec-ción?

Oración: Señor Jesús: Dame la sed de buscarte cada día para un encuentro personal contigo. Haz que sepa reconocerte en tu paso por mi vida, aun cuando pareces ausente. Amén.

Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord – April 1

The bread of Angels becomes the bread of man; the bread of heaven does away with symbols. What a marvel! The poor, the servant and the humble may feed on their Lord (Saint Thomas Aquinas). “The risen Jesus is Himself ‘our hope’ (1Tim1:1). And this, our hope, is literally embodied with His glorified humanity in the Eucharist, which is the living memorial of his death and resurrection.” (Presbyterorium Ordinis, 5) “….Faith assures us that it is the selfsame risen Savior who now sacramentally offers His life-sacrifice for us…offers Himself for us in Communion as the bread of life, and who offers His perpetual presence for our Adoration.” (Saint Richard Foley, S.J.) Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24 hours every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little time as you can. Thank you for offering our Lord this special hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.

The Seniors Military Outreach Project

We are a small but energetic group of parish seniors, who have lunch together the third Thursday of every

month. We are interested in embarking on an outreach project by establishing written communications with

active duty military parishioners, serving their country away from home. Many of these seniors have experi-

enced firsthand, what it is like, serving or having a loved one stationed away from their church, friends and

family, in some far-flung areas. These seniors would like to become a conduit of religious communications

from St Mary’s, their parish, to these young people. A note, birthday card, a “Hi, how you doing?” inquiry or

a prayer card, letting them know someone from their hometown parish is thinking and praying for them.

In order to get this project underway, we are asking all of you parishioners who have a

family member and/or friends serving in the active duty military, away from Albany St

Mary’s Catholic Church, to please share their, names, service branch, rank, APO ad-

dress, e-mail addresses and any other information, like birthday etc. You can provide

their information to Al Barrios at [email protected] (phone 541-908-7149), Bill

Dudek at [email protected] (541-619-0234) or Avis Austed at

[email protected] (phone 503-890-2841).

This can be for any service member who

is serving away from home, be it in

another state, another country, or on the

sea.

Are you, a friend, or a family member interested in becoming Catholic?

We have Inquiry sessions where attendees can learn basics about Catholicism. If attendees are interested in

furthering the process, they will then attend the RCIA classes, which start with the school year.

Keep your eyes open for Inquiry Classes beginning in May.

Blood Drive Results Thank you for all your support with the blood drive last week. The team collected 33 units on a goal of 43. Every unit of blood has the potential to save three lives. Because of your continual sup-port and dedication to this lifesaving mission we have impacted 99 lives and for this I thank you.

The next scheduled blood drive is June 11th in the Gathering Space 12-5pm.

Notes from the Liturgist

Through the Empty Tomb our hearts are filled with JOY

We stopped saying or singing the “Alleluia” in our liturgical prayers during Lenten Season, but here again it’s back. We are joy-ous to proclaim: The Lord is risen, Alleluia! The resurrection of Jesus becomes the key to remove all the burdens to a life of unity with God. The large stone that covers Jesus’ tomb was rolled away, and the tomb was empty. This symbolizes that all roads to God are cleared. The resurrection of Jesus reconnects the relationship of humanity to God. The stone represents humanity’s slavery to sin. So, since it was rolled away, humankind is now free to encounter with God.

We are Easter people who believe that the Cross transformed all suffering and pain and the Resurrec-tion secured the promise of eternal life.

The empty tomb has a great significance for us. It is our sins that made the tomb where Jesus was buried. Our pride and selfishness served as the stone that sealed the dead Jesus in the tomb. Our vices and evil tendencies were the burial cloths that bound his dead body from head to foot.

Jesus died for us that we too may die to our sins. He was buried with our pride, selfishness, vices, and hopelessness. His victory over death therefore means for us victory over our sins.

The empty tomb means that our Lord Jesus Christ had taken away the powers that bind us forever to death, hopelessness and helplessness.

New life is assured for us – not only in the life after death, but in the HERE and NOW. With the Risen Lord, we can all begin anew. Easter is not only an event that happened some 2000 years ago, but it is ongoing in the here and now. Each of us can rise to new life in Him.

Easter is, therefore, all about a new beginning. We begin afresh. The facts of life tell us that nothing comes to an end, rather endings signify a new beginning. The Holy Week doesn’t end on Good Friday (time of sorrow) but it will ‘end’ on the day of Resurrection (time of joy).

According to the sciences: Physics teaches us that energy is never lost or destroyed but only trans-formed; Biology opens our eyes to the reality of life cycles that govern the world of nature. With the Resur-rection of Jesus, we discovered that life continues even after earthly death.

It is a reminder to us to make new beginnings. Where we have failed, there we begin again. Life expe-riences have emboldened our resolve to try and begin again. “True failure is not to try to begin anew and that the experience of failure is but a road and lesson toward success.” With the Risen Lord accompanying us in our earthly daily pilgrimage, why then can we not succeed? If the victorious Risen Lord is within us, then, we can only look forward to victory amidst the experience of our downfall.

There is nothing in the past, however bad, sad, sinful, shameful, or painful, that could hinder us from breaking out into a better future, opening us into a new beginning!

Whenever we do an act of kindness, forgive someone who has wronged us, initiate reconciliation and make peace; whenever we give and share our blessings to others, we become like the disciples going away quickly from the empty tomb to meet with the Risen Lord.

My dear friends, yes, indeed through the empty tomb of Jesus our hearts are filled with joy. Happy Easter to one and all!

Notas del Liturgista

A través de la Tumba Vacía nuestros corazones están llenos de ALEGRÍA Dejamos de decir o cantar el "Aleluya" en nuestras oraciones litúrgicas durante la Temporada de Cuaresma, pero de nuevo aquí está de regreso. Estamos felices de proclamar: ¡El Señor ha resucita-do, Aleluya! La resurrección de Jesús se convierte en la clave para eliminar todas las cargas que impiden una vida de unidad con Dios. La gran piedra que cubre la tumba de Jesús fue removida, y la tumba estaba vacía. Esto simboliza que todos los caminos a Dios están limpios. La resurrección de Jesús reconecta la relación de la humanidad con Dios. La piedra representa la esclavitud de la humanidad al pecado. Entonces, desde que fue removido, la humanidad ahora es libre de encontrarse con Dios.

Somos personas de Pascua que creen que la Cruz transformó todo el sufrimiento y el dolor y que la Resurrección aseguró la promesa de la vida eterna.

La tumba vacía tiene un gran significado para nosotros. Fueron nuestros pecados los que hicieron la tumba donde Jesús fue sepultado. Nuestro orgullo y egoísmo sirvieron como la piedra que selló a Jesús muerto en la tumba. Nuestros vicios y malas tendencias eran las telas funerarias que ataban su cadáver de la cabeza a los pies.

Jesús murió por nosotros para que nosotros también podamos morir por nuestros pecados. Fue sepultado con nuestro orgullo, egoísmo, vicios y desesperanza. Su victoria sobre la muerte, por lo tanto, significa para nosotros la victoria sobre nuestros pecados.

La tumba vacía significa que nuestro Señor Jesucristo se había llevado los poderes que nos unen para siempre a la muerte, la desesperanza y la impotencia.

Nueva vida está asegurada para nosotros, no solo en la vida después de la muerte, sino en el AQUÍ y AHORA. Con el Señor resucitado, todos podemos comenzar de nuevo. La Pascua no es solo un evento que ocurrió hace unos 2000 años, sino que continúa en el aquí y ahora. Cada uno de nosotros puede elevarse a una nueva vida en él. Por lo tanto, La Pascua es, todo sobre un nuevo comienzo. Comenzamos de nuevo. Los hechos de la vida nos dicen que nada llega a su fin, sino que los finales significan un nuevo comienzo. La Semana Santa no termina el Viernes Santo (tiempo de dolor) sino que 'terminará' el día de la Resurrección (tiempo de alegría). De acuerdo con las ciencias: la física nos enseña que la energía nunca se pierde ni se destruye sino que se transforma; La biología nos abre los ojos a la realidad de los ciclos de vida que gobiernan el mundo de la naturaleza. Con la Resurrección de Jesús, descubrimos que la vida continúa incluso después de la muerte terrenal. Es un recordatorio para nosotros para hacer nuevos comienzos. Donde hemos fallado, allí comenzamos de nuevo. Las experiencias de vida han animado nuestra resolución de intentar y comen-zar de nuevo. "El verdadero fracaso es no intentar comenzar de nuevo y que la experiencia del fracaso no es más que un camino y una lección para el éxito". Con el Señor resucitado que nos acompaña en nuestra peregrinación diaria en la tierra, ¿Porqué no podemos tener éxito? Si el Señor victorioso ha resucitado y está dentro de nosotros, entonces, solo podemos esperar la victoria en medio de la experiencia de nuestra caída. No hay nada en el pasado, por malo, triste, pecaminoso, vergonzoso o doloroso que pueda obstaculizarnos para abrir un futuro mejor y abrirnos a un nuevo comienzo. Siempre que hagamos un acto de bondad, perdonar a alguien que nos ha hecho mal, inicie la reconciliación y haga las paces; cada vez que damos y compartimos nuestras bendiciones con otros, nos convertimos en los discípulos que se alejan rápidamente de la tumba vacía para encontrarse con el Señor Resucitado. Mis queridos amigos, sí, de hecho, a través de la tumba vacía de Jesús, nuestros corazones es-tán llenos de alegría. ¡Feliz Pascua a todos!

Holy Family Prayer Program

Albany Knights of Columbus Council 1577 is sponsoring a family prayer program called the Holy Family Prayer. The intent of the program is to get families to pray together, focusing on the love and support of the Holy Family. A small statue and a smaller photo icon will rotate among the parish families on a two week basis.

If you are interested in having one of the icons, contact Stuart Conser 541.619.8101 or [email protected] or Jon Keefer at [email protected] . If you have a preference between the statue or photo, let them know. The icons will be exchanged at the end of mass on the appropriate weekend.

Class Change

ACES will resume Tuesday, April 3rd.

Schedule will be handed out then for the remaining classes.

Option for the Poor and Vulnerable

Catholic social teaching inspires and guides how we are to live and work in the world. In this principle, Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, Jesus tells us to give special care to those who are most in need. He reminds us of our Christian duty to listen closely to those who often go unheard and to help those most vulnerable.

Our 40 Day Lenten journey ends now but the poor and vulnerable will continue to need our help … remember to return your CRS Rice Bowl, with cash or check, in April so Catholic Relief Services may continue this help here in America as well as all over the world. God Bless You!

Opción para los pobres y vulnerables

La enseñanza social católica inspira y guía cómo debemos vivir y trabajar en el mundo. En este principio, Opción para los Pobres y Vulnerables, Jesús nos dice que demos un cuidado especial a aquellos que más lo necesitan. Él nos recuerda nuestro deber como cristianos de escuchar atentamente a aquellos que a menudo pasan inauditos y ayudar a los más vulnerables.

Nuestro viaje cuaresmal de 40 días termina ahora pero los pobres y vulnerables seguirán necesitando nuestra ayuda ... recuerde en devolver la cajita de (Plato de arroz de CRS), con efectivo o cheque, en Abril para que Catholic Relief Services continúe con esta ayuda aquí en Estados Unidos, así como por todo el mundo. ¡Dios os bendiga!
