GOCID NEWSActs ro:34a, 37-43 lColossians 3:1-4 or x. Corinthians 5:6b-8 / John zo:r-9

Being a bit of a liturgical geek, I have many favorite elements of the Easter

liturgies, among them the Easter Vigil baptisms, the dark church

enlightened by the paschal candle, and the first sprinkling rite of the season.

But what I anticipate most is the return of the Alleluia in full force. We hear itfirst before the gospel proclamation at the Easter Vigil. lt's sung by thepriest at the dismissal and uniquely responded to in song by thecongregation. This double Alleluia is sung this way only during the Octave ofEaster to remind us that this is a special moment in the Church year.

Some parishes practice a ritual before Ash Wednesday called "burying theAlleluia." A cloth on which Alleluia is printed is ceremoniously "buried"-hidden away during Lent. At the Easter celebration, it bursts fofth from its

tomb along with Jesus. Alleluia, which means "praise God," is a word of joy,hope, and promise. lt always feels great to sing it again.

ln the Lukan account of the resurrection proclaimed at the Easter Vigil, thedisciples are at first confused by the empty tomb but, Scripture says, "theyremembered his words." They recalled what Jesus had said about his rising

after three days.

On Easter, we remember the word Allelura after it has been buried for fortydays. lt's a word that celebrates Jesus' incredible triumph over sin and death,and his promise of new life for us. Remember the Alleluia this day-andthroughoutthe Easter season. Thanks be to God indeedl

de ar PAD Rf,

Aly priest tells us to ask. the saints n inturcede for us with God.

But 1 Timotlty 2:5 says, "For thcre is only one God. There is also

one mediator behaeen God and tht human race, ChristJesus." So

wlty are we asking saints to intercede?

A In Job 4228, the Lord encouragesJob's friends to seek his

li' intercession on their behalf, Then in 1 Thessalonians

5:25, Saint Paul asks Church members in Thessalonica topray for him and his missionary companions: "Brothers,

pray for us."

In neither the New nor Old Testament is there a concern

that it might be inappropriate to ask liuing members ofone's faith community for support in prayer before God.

Therefore, ifwe believe the saints are "living" members ofour community, why would we not ask for their prayerfulsupport just as we do the flesh-and-blood members of the

communitywe can see and touch?

Christ is the one true mediator benveen God and

humans, but Christ calls us into a community of faith.

Prayer with the saints celebrates and builds this

community that God delights in working through and in.

To ignore the saints is to deprive ourselves of gifts that

God freely chooses to give.'We hope to be in communionwith the saints forever. For now, we strengthen ourfellowship with them through prayer.
