Question of the Week
3rd Sunday of Easter—Luke 24:13-35
Key Passage: And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recog-nized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?”
Question for adults: How and when is sa-cred scripture included in your daily activity? How does it influence or motivate your be-havior?
Question for children: How does hearing stories about Jesus make you feel?
Pregunta de la Semana
Tercer Domingo de Pascua –Lucas 24:13-35
Pasaje Crucial: Cuando estaban a la mesa, tomó un pan, pronunció la bendición, lo partió y se lo dio. Entonces se les abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron, pero él se les de-sapareció. Y ellos se decían el uno al otro: “¡Con razón nuestro corazón ardía mientras nos hablaba por el camino y nos explicaba la Escrituras!”
Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cómo y cuándo es la Sagrada Escritura incluido en su actividad diaria? ¿Cómo influye o motivar a su conducta?
Pregunta para los niños: ¿Cómo escuchar historias acerca de Jesús que se sienta?
Dios misericordioso, Tú que saliste al encuentro de los discípulos de Emaús, concédenos un espíritu misionero para salir al encuentro de nuestros hermanos y hermanas, unirnos a su caminar cotidiano, escuchar sus tristezas y alegrías, encender sus corazones con ei fuego de tu Palabra, prepararlos a reconocerte en la Eucaristía y enviarlos como discipuios misioneros a compartir la alegría del Evangelio a generaciones presents y futuras de toda raza, lengua y cultura.
Te lo pedimos desde nuestros corazones ardientes en el Espíritu Santo, en nombre de tu Hijo amado y por la intercesion de nuestra Madre Maria de Guadalupe, Estrella de la Nueva Evangelización. Amén.

We lift up to the Lord in prayer all who suffer with illness. We pray too, for
those who struggle with grief or addictions and those who labor to provide our
well being and freedom especially first responders and military, and for those
separated from their loved ones.
Thank you to those who par-
ticipated in our Parish Vitality
and Viability Assembly,
Wednesday, April 23. The
Chancery has returned the tab-
ulated idea and activity sheets
to us. A copy of those results
will be emailed to all assembly
participants. As you review
the tabulation, please identify
specific ways we might imple-
ment the top three or four sug-
gestions.
At the Parish Assembly,
May 16, we will begin the pro-
cess of submitting the required
diocesan report of our deci-
sions. When the report is com-
plete, we will develop the plan
Lord Jesus, open the scriptures to us;
make our hearts burn while you speak to us.
As today’s gospel reveals, the first meal shared with the risen Lord happened in a place called Emmaus. Perhaps there is no better time to reflect on this story than in those prayerful moments at Mass when we return to our place after recei-ving Holy Communion. Those few mo-ments give us an opportunity to reflect on our stewardship of Christ’s presence within us. We have a chance to practice hospitality by inviting Jesus into our hearts to walk and talk with us about our own Emmaus journey. We can relive once again the time when he broke bread for the disciples. And just as they did, we too can recognize Christ in this meal we have just shared with others.

(CRUX) Though Pope Francis will only be in Egypt this weekend for a little over 24 hours, the brief trip to the world’s sixth largest Muslim na-tion, and the biggest in the Middle East, nevertheless shapes up as one of the most complicated and riskiest of his papacy.
From security concerns to the lab-yrinthian politics awaiting him, Fran-cis will face hard choices in Cairo from the moment he lands until he leaves to return to Rome on Saturday. Although the aims of the trip may be relatively straight-forward, the path to achieving them seems far less clear. While every papal outing generates concerns about the pontiff’s safety, that’s especially true for the April 28-29 visit to Egypt, which unfolds in the wake of the bombing of two Coptic Orthodox churches on Palm Sunday. The Islamic State claimed responsibil-ity for those attacks. Last week, Is-lamic State gunmen also attacked
security forces at a checkpoint near the famous St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai desert, killing a police officer and injuring three others. As they always do, Vatican spokes-men are playing down any risks dur-ing the trip, expressing confidence in the local security forces. The risk may actually be less for Francis himself and more for Egypt’s Christian minority, which ranges somewhere between 10 and 20 mil-lion people, depending on which de-mographic estimates one accepts. It’s the largest Christian community in the Middle East, largely composed of members of the Coptic Orthodox Church led by Pope Tawadros II. Not only are Christians in Egypt a frequent target of Islamic militants for the mere fact of being a religious mi-nority, but politically they’re seen a solidly aligned behind the government of former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who came to power in 2014 after the ouster of a Muslim Brotherhood-led government under Mohammed Morsi. Supporters of al-Sisi recall that transition as the “June 30 revolution,” celebrating it as an expression of pop-ular will, while adherents of the Mus-lim Brotherhood see it as a coup which led to the resumption of rule by the military and political establish-
(Dicey concluded) ment that’s domi-nated Egypt since the era of Nasser. The net result is that Christians are frequently at risk because of political as well as cultural or religious resent-ments. Many observers in Egypt fear that while Pope Francis is in the coun-try, Christian sites and individuals may be at heightened risk from forces calculating that they may not be able to strike at the pontiff himself, but can reach other less well-defended targets. Al-Sisi came into office vowing to protect the country’s Christian minori-ty and to treat all Egyptians as full citizens regardless of their religious affiliation. He enjoyed the open back-ing of Egypt’s Christian leaders, and still draws widespread Christian sup-port. Sisi has made a point of attend-ing the Orthodox Christmas Mass every year at Cairo’s historic St. Mark’s Cathedral, having become the first Egyptian president in history to do so in 2015. Every year he draws raucous applause, and although Egypt is no stranger to stage-managed demonstrations of enthusiasm for po-litical figures, the Christian response comes off as largely genuine. “God Has created us different…in religion, manner, color, language, habit, tradition…and no one can make us the all same,” he said in 2016 in brief remarks at the Christmas Mass, using the kind of language that non-Muslim Egyptians appreciate. Sisi also presides over what some call “the most repressive in Egypt’s contempo-rary history.” Pope Francis, a supporter of hu-man rights, faces the challenge in Egypt of not wanting to embarrass his hosts or undercut the political position of local Christians who have to live with the consequences of his visit long after he’s back in Rome, but also not wanting to appear to bestow legitima-cy on a regime whose track record towards dissent is highly questionable.
