May is the month of Mary and Moms

May is traditionally dedicated in a special way to honoring and seeking the intercession of Mary as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church. “She is that woman who rejoiced in the presence of God, who treasured everything in her heart, and who let herself be pierced by the sword. Mary is the saint among the saints, blessed

above all others. She teaches us the way of holiness and she walks ever at our side. She does not let us remain fallen and at times she takes us into her arms without judging us.” —Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate, no. 176 Pope Francis calls for global prayer marathon in May 2021 for end to pandemic In prayer services held last May, during the height of the pandemic, Bishop Walkowiak re-consecrated our diocese and the cathedral to the protection of Mary, joining bishops throughout the United States and Canada in renewing the consecrations of our two nations to the care of the Blessed Mother. The prayer reaffirmed and renewed previous Marian en-trustments, and united us in solidarity with our Holy Father, who recently established the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, as a source of protection and strength. This year, Pope Francis has called for a global prayer marathon for the entire month of May, praying for the end to the pandemic. (Read more from Catholic News Service) Why Mary stands out among the saints As the Mother of God, the Virgin Mary has a unique position among the saints, indeed, among all creatures. She is exalted, yet still one of us. Why does Mary have such a promi-nent place in the communion of saints? As Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI reflected in Deus Caritas Est (Dec. 2005), “Outstanding among the saints is Mary, Mother of the Lord and mirror of all holiness. Mary’s greatness consists in the fact that she wants to magnify God, not herself. She is lowly: her only desire is to be the handmaid of the Lord (cf. Lk 1:38, 48).” Mary, more than anyone, can show us Jesus, lead us to him and teach us to know and love him, “so that we too can become capable of true love and be fountains of living water in the midst of a thirsting world.” Celebrating motherhood in May May is also dedicated to recognizing moms, grand-mothers, stepmoms, mothers-to-be and all women who in and through their lives encompass the qual-ities of motherhood. It’s also important to realize that Mother’s Day can be difficult or painful for women who struggle with infertility, the loss of a child or children, or who are estranged from their own mothers.

Third Sunday of Easter

First Reading: Acts of the Apostles 5:27-32,40b-41 The apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin and ordered to stop speaking in Je-sus' name. Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 30:2,4,5-6,11-12,13 A song of praise to God who rescues us. Second Reading: Revelation 5:11-14: John describes his vision of the praises that will be sung to the Lamb by every creature on heaven and earth. Gospel Reading: John 21:1-19 (short form:John 21:1-14) Jesus appears to the disciples for a third time after his Resurrection and shares a meal with them. Background on the Gospel Reading In Lectionary Cycle C, our Sunday Gospels are usually taken from the Gospel of Luke. The Gospels for the Easter Season, however, are taken from the Gospel of John. Today's Gospel is one of the post-Resurrection appearances reported by John. Recall that in John's Gospel, Jesus appears first to Mary of Magdala, second to all of the disci-ples except Thomas, and finally to Thomas and the disciples (which we heard last Sunday). After those appearanc-es, John's Gospel seems to conclude with a reference to other signs that Jesus gave after his Resurrection, which have not been recorded. Because it follows this apparent conclusion, most scholars believe today's Gospel passage (and all of John 21) to have been an addition to John's original text. Because there are significant differences between this report and the other appearances described in John's Gospel, it is quite likely that this story is from a different source. There are details in the story that recall Jesus' call to Simon Peter and the other fishermen as well as the miraculous catch of fish (found in the Gospel of Luke, with parallels in the other Synoptic Gospels). The end of the chapter, where Je-sus asks Peter three times whether he loves him, most likely is meant to represent the reconciliation that occurred between the community represented by John's Gospel with the larger Christian community represented by Peter. This Gospel reading is a rich and textured story that speaks of Jesus' presence in the Eucharist and our commission to serve others as Jesus did. Last week we heard that Jesus appeared to the gathered disciples in a locked room, probably in Jerusalem. In today's Gospel, the disciples are no longer in Jerusalem; they are in Galilee, returning to their work of fishing. Jesus calls to them from the shore, but just as when Jesus first appeared to Mary of Magdala, the disciples do not recognize him immediately. Still, they follow the stranger's instructions and bring in a large haul of fish. It is at this point that one of the disciples (the “disciple whom Je-sus loved”) realizes that Jesus is appearing to them. Upon hearing this news, Simon Peter leads the way again, jumping from the boat and swimming to shore. The other disciples in the boat, dragging the fish. The disciples have brought to shore a tremendous catch of fish. But once on the shore, they see that Jesus has already prepared fish and bread on a charcoal fire. Jesus directs the disciples to bring their catch of fish as well. Jesus is host at the meal that follows, feeding the disci-ples the bread and fish. In this detail we see allusions to the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and the fishes in John 6. There are also allusions in the Gospel to our gathering for the celebration of the Mass. In the Eucharist, we too are fed by Jesus in the bread and wine that have become his very Body and Blood. We also find in this story insight about the Presentation of the Gifts at Mass. The gifts we bring to the altar, bread and wine, are made from gifts that God gave first to us. God has no need of anything further. Yet God accepts the offering we bring—bread and wine, “the work of human hands”—and trans-forms our offering into the gift of his very presence. After the meal, Jesus directs himself to Simon Peter. This dialogue with Simon Peter is a reversal of Peter's three denials. Peter is forgiv-en. Having been restored to friendship with Jesus, Simon Peter is sent on a mission. “Feed my lambs . . . Tend my sheep . . . Feed my sheep.” These commands indicate that Peter is to be as Jesus, even unto sacri-ficing for the flock. As Jesus has fed Peter in this meal and as Jesus feeds us in the Eucharist, so he also sends us to follow him, asking that we offer our lives in service and sacrifice. Loyolapress.com

How many times did Jesus appear after his resurrection?

In all, Jesus is recorded as appearing 10 times to his disciples in his resurrected body.

After Jesus rose from the dead, he appeared to his disciples on numerous occasions. This he did not just on a single day, but on several days between his resurrection and ascension into Heaven. How many times to be exact? Technically speaking we don’t know every single time that Jesus appeared to his disciples during these 40 days. John himself ex-plained how the Gospel accounts were not a complete historical record, “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book” (John 20:30). However, the Gospels do record several of them. In all, Jesus is recorded as appearing 10 times to his disciples in his resurrected body. Mary Magdalene Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” (John 20:16-17) Other Women (possibly Mary of Clopas, Mary the mother of James and Joanna) So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Hail!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.” (Mat 28:8-10) Two Disciples on the Road to Emmaus That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and be-gan walking with them. (Luke 24:13-43)

St. Peter (The First Time) “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” (Luke 24:34)

The Disciples (Without Thomas) As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” (Luke 24:36)

The Disciples (With Thomas) The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20:26-29)

Seven Disciples After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he revealed himself in this way. Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. (John 21:1-2)

Five Hundred Disciples Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. (1 Cor 15:6)

St. James and the Apostles Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. (1 Cor 15:7)

Before the Ascension Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they worshiped him, and returned to Jeru-salem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God. (Luke 24:50-53) Philip Kosloski - aleteia.org

Pro Life Corner Oregon will stop enforcing a residency requirement

in state’s Death with Dignity Act

Oregon’s so-called Death with Dignity Act was enacted in 1997, the first state in the nation to do so. For the next 25 years the state re-quired residency, seemingly a commonsense, bare minimum. But Oregon has now abandoned even that.

According to CNN, “After an Oregon physician filed a lawsuit chal-lenging the constitutionality of the residency requirement in Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act, the state, along with the Oregon Medical Board and the Oregon Health Authority, agreed they would no longer apply or enforce the requirement – thus allowing non-Oregon resi-dents to access medical aid in dying in the state.”

Not surprisingly Dr. Nicholas Gideonse was represented by Compassion & Choices, former-ly known as The Hemlock Society. CNN’s Raja Razek further explained that “The Oregon Health Authority, the Oregon Medical Board, and the Multnomah County District Attor-ney’s Office ‘agreed to draft internal directives stating that they would not apply or otherwise enforce the residency requirement,’ according to the settlement.”

NRLC ‘s strong opposition was widely quoted, including in CNN’s story, the New York Times, and twice in a story appearing in the Catholic News Service. “In the push to legalize assisted suicide laws here in the United States, proponents argue that there are so-called safeguards in place,” said Jennifer Popik, JD,director of National Right to Life’s Robert Powell Center for Medical Ethics. “Not only are these so-called safeguards totally inadequate, but they are regularly followed by efforts to remove them.”

Laura Echevarria, NRLC director of communications and press secretary, added “Oregon’s February 2019 report on its assisted suicide law showed that the terminal diseases that qualified some patients for the lethal overdose included diabetes and arthritis. These are not terminal conditions.”

For example, she noted “In California, when a woman’s insurance company would not cover her prescribed chemotherapy treatment, she inquired if assisted suicide was covered under her plan,” Eche-varria added. “She was told, ‘Yes, we do provide that to our pa-tients, and you would only have to pay $1.20 for the medication.’” Of course, having no residency requirement means the state will become a magnet for people seeking to end their lives. Echevarria, told The New York Times that the change in this law “allows for anyone traveling to Oregon to seek assisted suicide. We do believe Oregon will become the assisted suicide tourism state.”

Dr. Greg Burke, co-chair of Ethics Committee of the Catholic Medi-cal Association, which counts 2,400 “health care professionals” in 115 local guilds among its membership, said a physician’s role at the end of their life is not to abandon their patients but to “caringly walk with the patient through that uncertainty, alleviating suffering,

while providing every opportunity for meaningful living as one prepares for death.” Since 1997, 3,280 people have received the assisted-suicide prescriptions. 2/3rds–2,159 people–have died from ingesting the medica-tions, according to a report from the Oregon Health Authority. Alas, that number is likely to spiral out of control. 2,159 people have died from ingesting terminal drugs since the Oregon Death With Dignity Act was enacted, according to a report from the Ore-gon Health Authority.
