May he rest in peace. Amen. PRAYER TO OUR LADY, HEALTH OF THE SICK, DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC

O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, united with Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman people, know what we need, and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. He who took our suffering upon Himself, and burdened Himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas — we who are put to the test —and deliver us from every danger. O glorious and blessed Virgin.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OUTREACH

We hope you are all staying safe and healthy during this uncertain time. We are very aware of the extra stress, fear, and danger that “shelter in place” puts on families with domestic violence. Individuals normal opportunities to get out of the house for work, school, activities and to see other people is greatly limited or non-existent.

We wanted to remind you that our Domestic Violence Outreach Ministry is still here for you at this time. If you would like to talk directly to one of our

volunteers please call 708.215.5418 and leave a message for someone to call you back. Or email [email protected]

Pillar’s 24-hour DV hotline is available at 708.485.5254

If you prefer not to talk on the phone, or if it unsafe to do so, you can chat directly with someone at: https://www.thehotline.org/what-is-live-chat/

Call your local police or 911, if needed Under the “shelter in place” order we are still allowed

to be outside, to go for walks, etc. We are thinking of you, please let us know if we can be of any assistance.

LENTEN OUTREACH

Happy Easter!

We prayed, fasted and gave alms—and now we celebrate the Risen Lord! Our Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl

challenges us as we begin the Easter season to share what we have with our global family. At this time, please consider holding on to your donation until it is safe to be together. Or, even better, convert your collected change into a check and either mail it to St. Cletus or drop it in the mail slot at the Rectory. Thank you!

OFFERTORY PRAYER TO END THE LENTEN JOURNEY

God of abundance,

You generously provide for our every need.

As we end our Lenten journey, may we continue to remember our brothers and sisters around the world who are hungry, who don't have the opportunity to dream, and all who need our support.

We pray that these, our Lenten sacrifices, may be an offering of solidarity and a promise of ongoing commitment to our one human family.

As good stewards of your many gifts, may we always answer Jesus' call to reach out beyond ourselves and to share your abundance.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

GET REAL!

Those of us who flatter ourselves that we have a “realistic” view of the world may listen to the first reading today and say, “Get real!” when we hear Luke’s account of the early, Elysian days of the Christian movement. All seems to be rosy, lots of wonders are performed, everyone shares selflessly, they eat together in “exultation,” and the Lord added to their numbers? Well, who wouldn’t be attracted to a group like this? From the wind that swept through the upper room at Pentecost as the Spirit of God blew over the face of the waters in Genesis, and the fire that appeared over each disciple as the light appeared at the dawn of creation, Luke’s intent in Acts is to show a new creation, a restoration of creation’s original goodness through the working of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who continues to make us into the Body of Christ. We may occasionally, like Thomas in the Gospel, say, “Get real!” but our ultimate reality in the Spirit is to work continually to make our Christian community a new creation, one in which others will find God’s joy and beauty.

SAINT ANSELM (1033-1109)

April 21

For anyone disheartened at how easily contemporary discussions of disputed church-state issues escalate from civil discourse to shrill polemic, Anselm provides perspective. Grounded in the Benedictine Rule’s balanced “prayer and work,” this monk-scholar, called from his abbey to become Archbishop of Canterbury, was thrust into firestorms of political intrigue, himself the target of warring bishops and nobles, kings and popes. Yet from depths of inner peace, Anselm wrote this moving exhortation by which today’s Liturgy of the Hours celebrates him: “Rise up, insignificant man! From your preoccupations, flee a while. From your turbulent thoughts, hide for a time. Your crushing responsibilities cast aside. Your burdensome business lay down. Free a little space for God. Rest a little while in him!” “Faith seeking understanding” was his strikingly contemporary motto; and though renowned as an erudite philosopher-theologian, Anselm also left personal letters, profound for their insights on Christian friendship. Along with those, he composed “A Prayer for My Friends” and “A Prayer for My Enemies,” reminding us that those who love God most passionately are also those who love others most humanly. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FIRE

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire. —St. Catherine of Siena

READING 1 Acts 2:42–47

They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple area and to breaking bread in their homes. They ate their meals with exultation and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM

Ps 118:2–4, 13–15, 22–24 R. (1) Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. Let the house of Israel say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let those who fear the L say, “His mercy endures forever.” R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. I was hard pressed and was falling, but the L helped me. My strength and my courage is the L , and he has been my savior. The joyful shout of victory in the tents of the just: R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the L has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. This is the day the L has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting.

READING 2

1 Pt 1:3–9

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you who by the power of God are safeguarded through faith, to a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the final time. In this you rejoice, although now for a little while you may have to suffer

through various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold that is perishable even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

GOSPEL

Jn 20:19–31

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.
