Welcome to St. Therese Parish · Appleton, WI
“Notes from Fr. Bill”
“Empty Tomb - - Full Church”
Like a beginning? ..or, like the end of a long
Lent? ..a long Lent that just finished with an engaging but
exhausting Holy Week! Now, don‟t say it …”poor
Father.” How about the choir this Easter morning …
after three days of high liturgy, and singing the last
hymn of last night‟s Easter Vigil at 11:00 p.m.! Even a
few of the lilies are starting to droop.
But even after a „full week‟ we‟re „pulling out all the
stops‟ for a joy-filled Easter Sunday celebration. Because
…some of those in church this morning, those we might
call “C&E
Catholics” are looking and longing for something
– all those folks need beauty.
As the choir looks down from the loft, and I look out
from the altar, we see not an empty tomb, but a church full
of people. But some of them are empty inside. Some are
living in
tomb-like darkness and may not know the way into the
light. Perhaps there are among us this morning to please
their parents or spouses, or maybe because it is Easter after all. It‟s for them that we sing and preach today.
Where were they last night? Maybe at the mall or
watching TV. They have heard of Christ, but they haven‟t met him. That‟s our humble and glorious task – to
make introductions. If you‟re reading this before Mass
on this Easter morning, make sure to give them your best
handshake and smile! Happy Easter! He is
risen! Alleluia!
W
hen Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the
burial cloths there, and the cloth that
had covered his head, not with the burial cloths
but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other
disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at
the tomb first, and he saw and believed. - Jn
20:6-8
LET CHRIST DIRECT YOUR GIVING
Give your heart to Christ, and let him direct your giving.
In order for you to be what you should as a church member, you
must first define and confirm your stewardship obligations and
commitments between yourself
and the Christ who gave his all for you.
Stewardship of time, talent, and possessions is the very heart of
Christian discipleship and our way of expressing our love in
response to God's amazing grace.

“Sepulcro Vacío - - Templo Lleno”
¿Cómo te sientes en la Pascua? ¿Le parece un
comienzo? ..o como el fin de una Cuaresma larga
que acaba de terminar con una Semana Santa
cansona pero simpática? Ahora, no digas ..”ay,
el pobre Padre.” ¿Qué le parece el coro esta
mañana de Pascua …después de tres días de
liturgias fuertes, y cantando la última canción anoche
en la Vigilia a las 11:00! Hasta algunos lirios
comienzan a colgar.
Pero aún después de una “semana llena” estamos
tocando todas las campanas para un Domingo de
Pascua celebrativo. Porque …algunos que están en el
templo esta mañana, los que llamamos “católicos de
Navidad y Pascua” están buscando y deseando algo –
y éstos necesitan algo bello.
El coro mira desde arriba, y yo desde el altar ..no
vemos un sepulcro vacío sino un templo lleno de
gente. Pero, algunos de ellos están vacíos ..viviendo
en una sombra como un sepulcro, y no conocen como
llegar hacia la luz. Quizás están aquí para complacer
sus papás o esposas, o pues, porque es domingo de
Pascua. Para ellos cantamos con gusto.
¿Dónde estaban anoche? Quizás en el mal o
mirando el tele. Han oído de Cristo, pero todavía no
lo han encontrado. Ese es nuestro humilde trabajo –
hacer las introducciones. Si esto lo estás leyendo
antes de la Misa este domingo de Pascua, favor de
darles su mejor saludo y sonrisa! Felices
Pascua! Ha resucitado! Aleluya!
E
n eso llegó también Simón Pedro,
que lo venía siguiendo, y entró en el
sepulcro. Contempló los lienzos
puestos en el suelo y el sudario, que había
estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús, puesto no
con los lienzos en el suelo, sino doblado en
sitio aparte. Entonces entró también el otro
discípulo, el que había llegado primero al
sepulcro, y vio y creyó. - Jn 20, 6-8
DEJEMOS QUE SEA CRISTO QUIEN DIRIJA
NUESTRA ACCIÓN DE DAR
Entrega tu corazón a Cristo y deja que él dirija tu acción de
dar. Para que seas lo que debes ser como miembro de la
Iglesia, primero debes definir y confirmar tus obligaciones
de co-responsabilidad y los compromisos entre tú y el
Cristo que se entregó por ti.
La co-responsabilidad sobre nuestro tiempo, talentos y
posesiones está el corazón mismo de nuestro discipulado
cristiano, y es la manera de expresar nuestro amor en
respuesta a la maravillosa gracia de Dios.
