Gospel Meditation
Easter Sunday
The first light of Easter dawn had
begun to creep over the
horizon. The steadfast women from
Friday's gory events are returning
again to the body of their Lord. "Who
will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?"
How quickly we return to mundane concerns and how
thoroughly God wants to surprise us! Imagine the utter shock
upon seeing the stone rolled away, the tomb empty, and a
stranger clothed in light proclaiming the impossible. "You seek
Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not
here." He is risen indeed and the world will never be the same.
We know from other Gospel passages that Mary Magdalene
made haste to the disciples to proclaim the Good News. We
know that Peter and John rushed to the tomb to see for them-
selves. We know that the wonder and awe of the Resurrection
permeated the lives of the apostles until their own dying day.
Can we comprehend the utterly world-changing nature of this
surprise? The historical reanimation of a dead man is of no
real value to us. But we know that Easter Sunday is so much
more. By the Resurrection of Jesus, life has triumphed over
death for us all. The gates of heaven are opened and the
treasury of graces is poured out upon the here and now. This
Resurrection Day, let us draw near, amazed yet unafraid, to
the risen Christ. Let us recall the words of Pope Emeritus
Benedict XVI, "Jesus is not a character from the past. He lives,
and he walks before us as one who is alive, he calls us to follow
him, the living one, and in this way to discover for ourselves the
path of life" (Easter Vigil, April 15, 2006).

Catholic Life Explained
Question:
What is the most important holiday on the Catholic calendar?
Answer:
In our daily life, we often refer to "holidays." The word
"holiday" actually comes from the word "holy day." More
than a simple celebration or family gathering, these days
connect us to God in a unique way. We remember - and
share in - the events in God's plan of salvation. Some feasts
may be celebrated with more traditions and secular atten-
tion, like Christmas, but the most important holy day is
Easter.
When Jesus died and rose again, he destroyed the ultimate
weapon of sin and made it possible for us to have eternal life
with him in Heaven. Without the resurrection, St. Paul tells
us, our faith is in vain. This past Holy Week, we walked
through the Paschal Mystery, the suffering, death, and
resurrection of Christ. Easter is commemorated each time
we celebrate the Mass. As St. John Paul II said, "we are an
Easter people and alleluia is our song!" Jesus was born for
Easter. Our joyful celebration of the resurrection is at the
core of what it means to be a Christian!

Live the Liturgy ~ Inspiration for the Week
Christ is risen indeed! We have arrived at the penultimate feast
on the Church's calendar, the cause of our joy and our hope.
Life has defeated death. Sorrow and suffering do not have the
last say. In the resurrection of Jesus we see many reasons to
rejoice. Not only has Jesus conquered the specter of visible
death, but he restores to us graced life. On Holy Saturday,
Jesus descended to the dead and delivered the just souls into
heavenly paradise. What are our own Saturday tombs? Jesus
has the power to open them all. That is our invitation, this day
most of all. May resurrection joy fill your heart, your family,
your workplace, and your community. Happy Easter!

Prayer for Easter
Risen Lord, your merciful love took you to
the cross for our sakes, and even in the
midst of that terrible suffering, you
forgave. Now you live forever in glory
and invite us, sinners though we are, to
share eternal glory with you. As we strive
to embrace your gift of mercy, grant us
hearts full of forgiveness for our brothers
and sisters. May we rejoice with all people
in your victory over sin and death,
a victory that has set us free to love as you
have loved. May we embrace that freedom
forever in your name. Amen.
Easter Blessings,
from Father Kapral and Deacon Chappell
Congratulations!
Christian Sanchez was

Vigil to become a full
member of the Catholic

An Easter Proclamation
The hosts of heaven exult and sing
aloud in mighty triumph!
Let the earth be glad as glory alights
and night reigns no more.
Let the Church rejoice at the victory of her Lord and Master,
Who paid the debt of Adam,
Who frees those doomed to die,
Who heals the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds,
Who forgives the sinner and raises up the lowly,
Who destroys death forever,
Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
God our Father, eternal is your love for us!
Christ the Son, in victory you reign!
Holy Spirit, set the Easter fire ablaze in our hearts.
Together you live and reign and ransom your people,
one God forever and ever.
Amen.
