’ mostholytrinityministries.org. EASTER IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE! JOYFUL SHOUTS OF VICTORY OVER THE WORLD CAME FROM THE TENTS OF THE JUST The faithful expectant Jews sensed that Jesus’ teaching and healing was guided by the Holy Spirit. Standing at the foot of the cross St. John felt that Jesus’ last breath was a gift of the Spirit to continue Jesus’ way of teaching and healing. John writes “the Spirit testifies that Jesus is God’s Son and your faith makes you a victor over the world.” Witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection formed a community of believers who let go of worldly clinging to land and possessions. They formed the first credit union that no hardworking believer should be in need but insisted that the apostles distribute their assets according to individual family needs. Many newly baptized have entered the church because of our sharing at Ste. Anne’s Pantry and Most Holy Trinity’s outreach of clothing and food. The new economy of Easter grace is a dynamic way of sharing still so vital in our daily experience of parish life. St. Thomas rarely attended meetings but always let his opinions be known. “Unless I touch his hands and feet and put my finger into his pierced side I will not believe that Jesus is alive.” A week goes by and this time Thomas is at the meeting invited to touch the Risen Lord’s scarred body. The world of skeptics needs to know that God is understanding of our human suffering. Thomas learned by touching the wounded triumphant Lord that God is for real! FINDING ST. THOMAS When Portuguese missionaries landed in India they disembarked on their mission to preach Jesus at what was then the ends of the earth. The Portuguese looked around at each other and informed the friars, “Well we’ve known Jesus for 2,000 years thanks to St. Thomas who is buried and revered here!” When our cynical doubts encounter Jesus as the “suffering servant” we take the Gospel as missionaries to our neighbors near and far. Otra característica del amor verdadero es la fe en la persona a la que se ama. Por eso hoy las lecturas nos insisten tanto en que la verdadera fe se traduce en amor y el amor en fe. ¿Es que Tomás no amaba, entonces? Posiblemente había amado a su manera a Jesús, pero aún le faltaba la verdadera fe del enamoramiento: ver las señales de la salvación en el cuerpo de Cristo y comprobar que tales marcas son resultados de un amor que se ha vaciado. El amor llama al amor. Tomás cree porque ve el amor y comienza a amar de una manera distinta, porque lo ha visto y lo ha tocado. De alguna manera, todos nosotros hemos visto y hemos tocado el amor del Señor. Todos hemos tenido experiencias de personas a nuestro alrededor que han puesto nuestras necesidades por encima de las suyas propias. Nosotros mismos hemos podido tener la experiencia de ver que, más allá de nuestro propio gusto o comodidad, éramos capaces de sacrificarnos por quienes estaban cerca de nosotros. CSA MINUTE Campus Ministry College students who are involved in campus ministry are far more likely to practice their faith after earning degrees. High school juniors and seniors and their parents are invited to meet campus ministers from colleges and universities throughout Michigan at a campus ministry fair at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit this Thursday, April 16. Your gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal enable the Archdiocese of Detroit to reach out to young adults on campuses through the Office for Young Adult and Campus Ministry. Campus ministry helps college students further their spiritual growth, such as through one-on-one pastoral counseling, spiritual direction, social justice projects, and retreats. Two sessions will be held: One for Catholic high school students from 9:30 a.m. to noon, and a second for students not in Catholic high schools from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. For more information about CSA-funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to www.AOD.org.

Vol. 182 No. 20 Message from Sr. Lorraine Wouldn't it be wonderful if after Easter our lives were really overwhelmed by a sense of the joy of the Resurrection? Sometimes that happens, but more often we may be struck by remaining in our own Holy Saturday, or even still be trudging through our personal cross. Personally, I've been grumpy and even had a bad fight with someone. And yet, Jesus has risen, and there is hope, and we believe it. We taste that hope in the midst of our big and little struggles. A testament to that hope is the courage of the parents of the 43 Mexican students who disappeared. Several of those parents are at Ste. Anne's this weekend. They have lived one of the most painful crosses a parent can experience - the murder of a child. At the same time, they celebrate the good lives of their children who were studying to be teachers and honor their memory by working for justice. We are in solidarity with them in their suffering, and in our Resurrection belief that God can bring new life from death. Blessings, Sr. Lorraine Our State Representative, Stephanie Chang, is hosting a series of Community Coffee Hours for her constituents. Come and meet Stephanie and let her know your priorities for our neighborhood. Monday, April 13, from 4-6 p.m. at Red Hook Cafe West Village, 8025 Agnes St. in Detroit. Monday, April 20, from 5-6:30 p.m. at Cafe con Leche, 4200 Vernor Highway in Detroit. Monday, April 27, from 4-6 p.m. at the Ecorse Public Library, 4184 W. Jefferson Ave. in Ecorse. Mensaje de Hna. Lorraine No sería maravilloso si, después de la Pascua, todas nuestras vidas estuvieron llenas de un sentido del gozo de la resurrección? A veces eso pasa, pero mas frecuente podemos estar chocados porque nos quedamos en nuestro propio Sábado Santo, o aun todavía cargando con nuestra cruz personal. Personalmente, yo he sido de mal humor y aun me peleé con alguien. Y aun así, Jesús ha resucitado, y hay esperanza, y lo creemos. Saboreamos esta esperanza en medio de nuestras luchas grandes y pequeñas. Un testimonio de ésta esperanza es el coraje de los Padres de los 43 estudiantes Mexicanos que estuvieron desaparecidos. Algunos de estos padres están en Santa Ana esta fin de semana. Ellos han vivido uno de las cruces la más dolorosa que un padre puede experimentar - el asesinato de un hijo. A la misma vez, ellos celebran las vidas buenas de sus hijos que estuvieron estudiando para ser maestros y honran su memoria por trabajar para la justicia. Estamos en solidaridad con ellos en su sufrimiento y en nuestra creencia en la Resurrección, que Dios puede traer la nueva vida de la muerte. Bendiciones, Hna.

I PRAY THEY NOT BE TAKEN OUT OF THE WORLD Jesus prayed that we would be protected from the Evil One. Today Ste. Anne’s welcomes the friends of 43 Mexican martyred young teachers in training who disappeared so as not to be annoying at the Mayor’s wife’s garden party. The church never forgets the “disappeared ones.” On this past Ask Wednesday young adults in Mexico asked the priests to sign their foreheads with the number 43 in solidarity with those students who had devoted their lives to educating children in remote locations in Mexico. The same fate has recently met 147 students in Nigeria. We offer comfort in Christ’s name to the family of the 43 and look forward with Bishop Thomas Gumbleton to soon celebrate the beatification of Archbishop Oscar Romero who was martyred for his faith in El Salvador.
