A PRAYER FOR EASTER
“Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ has burst his prison,
And from three days’ sleep in death
As a sun hath risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
“Alleluia!” with the Son,
God the Father praising,
“Alleluia!” yet again
to the Spirit raising.
- St. John Damascene

STEWARDSHIP SPOTLIGHT - EASTER SUNDAY
He is Risen! That is our acclamation for Easter. As St. Paul said, without the resurrection, our
faith is hopeless and meaningless (1 Cor 15:14). Jesus’ resurrection from death is the promise of our
eternal life. This is truly a joyous, beautiful, and wonderful day.
Lest we get too caught up in Easter baskets, Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, and bright spring
clothes, let’s remember that Easter only makes sense in the context of the Paschal Mystery celebrated
in the Triduum, beginning with Holy Thursday, moving through Good Friday, and culminating with
the first celebration of the resurrection at the Easter Vigil. Without the empty tomb the cross is just a
device of punishment, and without the cross there would be no empty tomb. The suffering and death
of Jesus are inseparably linked to his resurrection. Jesus gave of himself completely to the Father’s
will, even dying on a cross for our sins, and then he was raised from death to return to the Father.
Jesus did this for us because he loves us. However, his death and resurrection are more than
a one-time event. He modeled how we are called to live our lives. We are called to sacrifice our wills,
our lives, to the Father’s will, just like he did. “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after
me cannot be my disciple.” (Lk 14:27). “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the
ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat, but if it dies, it produces much fruit.” (Jn 12:24).
We are stewards of the joyful Easter message that Christ is risen and that we are offered eternal life in him. After the candy is gone, let’s get back to knowing the Father’s will in our lives and living it for all the world to see. Do our lives shine this Easter message to all who know us? Are we
Easter people?

Message of mercy for march
From the Office for Vocations
A quote from scripture…
March 27, 2016 - Easter Sunday
Ephesians 2:4-7 - “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were
dead in our transgressions, brought us to life with Christ
(by grace you have been saved), raised us up with him,
and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
What stones are being moved away so you can be a minister of the Gospel? Consider inviting someone to be a sister,
brother, priest, or deacon. Spread the good news: “Jesus is
risen!” (John 20:1-9). If you have a question about a vocation to the priesthood or religious life, contact Father David Ruchinski, Vocation Director, at (904) 262-3200 ext.
101, or email [email protected].
Carta a los Efesios 2:4-7 - “Pero Dios, que es rico en misericordia, por el gran amor con que nos amo, precisamente cuando estabamos muertos a causa de nuestros
pecados, nos hizo revivir con Cristo ustedes han sido
salvados gratuitamente, y con Cristo Jesus nos resucito y
nos hizo reinar con el en el cielo. Así, Dios ha querido
demostrar a los tiempos futuros la inmensa riqueza de
su gracia por el amor que nos tiene en Cristo Jesus.”
From the Justice and Peace Commission
“Let us accept the grace of Christ’s Resurrection! Let us be
renewed by God’s mercy...and let us become agents of this
mercy, channels through which God can water the earth,
protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.”
- Pope Francis, Urbi et Orbi, Easter 2013
F.I.R.E.
(Faith In Receiving the Eucharist) Retreat
The F.I.R.E. Retreat is our Eucharistic
centered retreat. F.I.R.E. occurs each Spring semester over a weekend. During this retreat
there are many talks and witnesses given. Eucharistic adoration is the center of this retreat,
participants are invited to sign up for an hour
of adoration and spend time with Jesus in the
Eucharist. Normally there are religious sisters
and/or brothers on the retreat who give talks,
spend time with students, and pray for the retreat. One of the most powerful aspects of the
retreat is the Eucharistic procession (pictured).
This retreat is a great way for students to grow
in their relationship with Christ!

GRAPHIC IMAGES
Today, as we celebrate the Feast of Easter, we
find the challenge of also seeing and believing
the resurrection that comes through our own
lives of self-sacrifice, which brings new life to
others. Through your gifts, the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul was able to show the love of the Risen
Christ by bringing the mercy of Jesus into the hearts of the
poor, by assisting families with their utility bills and rent
and providing 234 lbs. of food to the community. Thank
you and God bless!
