FULFILLMENT

It is interes ng that during the Easter season, when we do not hear a reading from the Old Testament, it be-comes so important. This is par cularly true today. Peter’s speech begins with a prayer formula familiar to Jews: “The God of Abraham . . .” (Acts 3:13). It likewise contains the potent phrases “Holy and Righteous One” and “mouth of all the prophets” (3:14, 18). Peter was sta ng in no un-certain terms that the law, psalms, and prophets had been fulfilled in Christ. This is reinforced by Jesus himself in the Gospel passage, when he states that everything in the scriptures (to the early Chris ans “the scriptures” were what we call the Old Testament) had to be fulfilled. Above all, Jesus and Peter both emphasize that we are witnesses to all of this, and are sent forth to bear witness to it in the world. The La n Missa, from which our word “Mass” comes, means “sent” (as in “mission”). As we leave Mass today, let us remember to be witnesses to all that has been fulfilled in the risen Christ.

CUMPLIMIENTO

Es interesante que durante el empo de Pascua, cuando no escuchamos la lectura del An guo Testamen-to, se vuelve tan importante. Esto es par cularmente cierto hoy. El discurso de Pedro comienza con una fórmu-la de oración familiar a los judíos: “El Dios de Abraham...” (Hechos 3:13). Asimismo con ene las pode-rosas frases “Santo y Justo” y “boca de todos los profe-tas” (3:14, 18). Pedro estaba declarando sin lugar a dudas que la ley, los salmos y los profetas se habían cumplido en Cristo. Esto se ve reforzado por el mismo Jesús en el pasaje del Evangelio, cuando dice que todo en la Escritu-ra (para los primeros cris anos “la Escritura” era lo que hoy llamamos el An guo Testamento) tenía que cumplir-se. Por encima de todo, Jesús y Pedro hacen hincapié en que somos tes gos de todo esto, y somos enviados a dar tes monio en el mundo. La palabra missa en la n, signifi-ca “enviado” (como “misión”). Al salir de la misa de hoy, recordemos ser tes gos de todo lo que se ha cumplido en Cristo resucitado.

Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. WHY IS BAPTIZING OUR CHILDREN SO IMPORTANT? Baptism is the gateway to the Christian life, and the door which gives us access to the other Sacraments (CCC 1213). It is necessary for our salvation. In Baptism our sins are forgiven, we are reborn in Christ and made sons and daughters of God, made members of the Church, and receive an indelible (permanent) mark on our souls. Baptism is so important, that at the end of His earthly dwelling, Jesus commanded the Apostles “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19). In addition to providing our children with the basic needs of food and shelter, parents also provide comfort, discipline, and love for their children. Children are a gift from the Lord and they teach us what it means to love and be loved. It is because of this love that we should strive to provide the best possible life for them. What is this best possible life? To teach them to have a relationship with God and the first step in doing that is getting your baby baptized. If you are a Parent of a child not yet baptized, please call the Parish Office for more information on how to bring your child into the family of God through the Sacrament of Baptism.

FEAST OF FAITH The Second Reading The Liturgy of the Word generally follows a consistent pattern of three readings and a psalm. The second reading is always taken from one of the New Testament epistles or the book of Revelation, and generally is not intentionally aligned with either the Gospel or the first reading. Where would we be without these letters in which great saints and apostles like Paul, Peter, James, and John share their wisdom and pastoral good sense with the early Christian communities? It is in these letters, even more than in the Gospel narratives, that we learn what it means to be church: to live with each other, in the world yet not of the world, in these days after the Lord’s resurrection. Each New Testament letter was written by a particular leader for a particular community at a particular time. We are reminded of this at the beginning of the proclamation—“A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians,” or the Corinthians, or the Thessalonians. These texts were shaped by their particular historical and cultural context, but at the same time, through the liturgy, these letters are written to us, here, today. They speak to the realities of Christian living no matter where—or when—we live. They are truly “the word of the Lord” for us. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINT ANSELM OF CANTERBURY (c. 1033 – 1109)

Bishop and Doctor of the Church Feast Day - April 21

At 15, Anselm wanted to enter a monastery, but was refused acceptance because of his father’s opposi on. Twelve years later he finally fulfilled his desire to be a monk. He entered the monastery of Bec in Normandy, three years later was elected prior and 15 years later was unanimously chosen abbot. Considered an original and independent thinker, Anselm was admired for his pa ence, gentleness, and teaching skill. Under his leadership, the abbey of Bec became a monas c school, influen al in philosophical and theological studies. During these years, at the community’s request, Anselm began publishing his theological works, comparable to those of Saint Augus ne. His best-known work is the book Cur Deus Homo (“Why God Became Man”). At 60, against his will, Anselm was appointed archbishop of Canterbury in 1093. His appointment was opposed at first by England’s King William Rufus and later accepted. Rufus persistently refused to cooperate with efforts to reform the Church. Anselm finally went into voluntary exile un l Rufus died in 1100. He was then recalled to England by Rufus’s brother and successor, Henry I. Disagreeing fearlessly with Henry over the king’s insistence on inves ng England’s bishops, Anselm spent another three years in exile in Rome. His care and concern extended to the very poorest people; he opposed the slave trade. Anselm obtained from the na onal council at Westminster the passage of a resolu on prohibi ng the sale of human beings.

Living God’s Word As many have said, life is a journey. Faith, too. And journeys take us to all sorts of unexpected places, or else they’re not really journeys. Faith can be one of those unexpected turns in the road that make the journey new.
