READINGS FOR THE WEEK

MASS INTENTIONS

The custom of requesting a priest to offer the Mass for a specific intention, even when one cannot be physically present at the Mass, is a longstanding tradition in the Church. This is because the Church considers the Mass as the greatest possible prayer of intercession insofar as it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father by making present the paschal mystery of his death and resurrection. You may request a Mass Intention by visiting the

Cathedral Center Office. Mass Intentions are posted in the Parish Bulletin, and on our website:

The Archdiocese of Miami has robustly participated in the Unites States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Char-

ter for the Protection of Children and Young People since its inception over 15 years ago and has been in

compliance every year. This can only happen with the dedication of pastors, principals, directors and coordi-nators of religious education, administration and staff

in collaboration with parents and volunteers.

Tips for Protecting Children and the Vulnerable

You cannot always predict who will be an abuser. Experience shows that most abuse is committed

by someone who has gained the trust of a victim/survivor and his/her family.

Abuse is about the victim. Many people are af-

fected by abuse but the individual most impacted is the victim who has suffered a violation of trust

that can affect his or her entire life.

EASTER The Easter Vigil is the "Mother of All Vigils. "Easter Sunday, then, is the greatest of all Sundays, and Easter Time is the most important of all liturgical times. Easter is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascension to the Father and sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost. It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glori-fied life and the victory over death, expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection: "If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor 15:14) "What you sow is not brought to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel of wheat, perhaps, or of some other kind;… So also is the resur-rection of the dead. It is sown corruptible; it is raised incor-ruptible. It is sown dishonorable; it is raised glorious. It is sown weak; it is raised powerful. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual one. So, too, it is written, "The first man, Ad-am, became a living being," the last Adam a life-giving spirit. But the spiritual was not first; rather the natural and then the spiritual. The first man was from the earth, earthly; the second man, from heaven. As was the earthly one, so also are the earthly, and as is the heavenly one, so also are the heavenly. Just as we have borne the image of the earthly one, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly one (1 Cor 15:36-37, 42-49). The word "Easter" comes from Old English, meaning simply the "East." The sun which rises in the East, bringing light, warmth and hope, is a symbol for the Christian of the rising Christ, who is the true Light of the world. The Paschal Candle is a central symbol of this divine light, which is Christ. It is kept near the ambo throughout Easter Time, and lit for all liturgical celebrations. Liturgical Notes for Easter From Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year and the Calendar: 22. The fifty days from the Sunday of the Resurrection to Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one feast day, indeed as one "great Sunday." These are the days above all others in which the Alleluia is sung. 23. The Sundays of this time of year are considered to be Sundays of Easter and are called, after Easter Sunday itself, the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Sundays of Easter. This sacred period of fifty days concludes with Pentecost Sunday. 24. The first eight days of Easter Time constitute the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the Lord. 25. On the fortieth day after Easter the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated, except where, not being observed as a Holyday of Obligation, it has been assigned to the Seventh Sunday of Easter (cf. no. 7). 26. The weekdays from the Ascension up to and including the Saturday before Pentecost prepare for the coming of the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. The liturgical color for Easter is white. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (no. 346) also states: "On more solemn days, festive, that is, more pre-cious, sacred vestments may be used even if not of the color of the day. The colors gold or silver may be worn on more solemn occasions in the Dioceses of the Unit-ed States of America." Especially during Easter Time, instead of the customary Penitential Act, the blessing and sprinkling of water may take place as a reminder of Baptism.

Happy Easter of the Resurrection of Our Lord!

Felices Pascuas de Resurrecion de Nuestro Señor!

O God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered

death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who

keep the solemnity of the Lord's Resurrection may, through the

renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
