ALTAR LINENS for the month of April at St. Nicholas site
Connie Kuehner
Pastor’s Corner
“Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins
you forgive are forgiven them, and
whose sins you retain are retained.”
We find these words in the postresurrection account of John’s Gospel
where the purpose of Christ’s victory
over sin and death is made perfectly
clear: forgiveness and redemption.
These words of Jesus Christ conveyed
His authority to the Apostles, allowing
them to be instruments of His mercy
through their ‘ordained’ ministry. That
ministry has continued for almost 2,000
years in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
This Sunday the Church recognizes the Divine Mercy of God,
particularly through the experiences and writings of St. Faustina
Kowalska. It is wonderful to close out the Octave of Easter by
reflecting on God’s love and mercy for us, which should cause us to
admit our sinfulness and seek His grace to become better disciples.
Being a good Disciple is one of the most important aspects of being
a member of the Catholic Religion. Last week, as a gift of gratitude
to all our parishioners, we handed out a CD to all our parish families
entitled “Set All Afire: Why the Church Still Matters.” It was meant to
further your understanding of our faith and encourage you to want
to know and do more. If you were away for Easter you can pick up
your copy of the CD at the parish office.
I hope that you listened to it – and persevered to the last few talks
(the first 2 presentations are a little dry, but the conclusion is really
inspiring. Just like mom used to tell us, “you have to eat all your food
before you can have dessert!”).
Our Evangelization Committee and Pastoral Council are curious to
know what you thought of the CD. Please send us your feedback
either by email ([email protected]) or by dropping a
note (marked “CD Feedback”) in the collection basket or at the parish
office. This will help us plan for future ideas and perhaps can result in
a discussion group concerning the CD topics.
Speaking of doing more as a good Disciple, I want to thank all
those who assisted with making our Easter Liturgies so beautiful and
prayerful. I cannot list everyone by name, but I want to recognize the
various ministries who take part in providing such an awesome
experience: The Environment (Decorating) Committee, Music
Ministry, altar servers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion,
lectors, ushers, greeters, Sacristans, cleaners, and our Parish Staff
and Maintenance department. It is important for all the faithful to
know that MANY of our parishioners offer their time & talent in this
service to the parish and I encourage more members of our
community to consider doing the same. There are many ways to be
an active Disciple in our Parish.
Switching topics completely, as I announced last month there is a
need to change our daily Mass schedule. At that time I promised to
give everyone an opportunity to offer their opinions on this subject.
Therefore, anyone who wants to express their thoughts can come to
one of the following meetings:
1. Wednesday, April 22 at our St. Nicholas site at 7:30 am following the daily Mass
2. Thursday, April 23 at our Assumption site at 8:30 am –
following the daily Mass
3. Friday, April 24 at our Assumption site at 12:45 pm – following
the daily Mass

BREVE COMENTARIO A LA LITURGIA DE HOY
HASTA NO VER NO CREER
Dice un dicho popular: "Yo, como Santo Tomás, hasta no ver no
creer". Tenemos como fuente del saber, por una parte la ciencia, con sus
métodos sistemáticos y seguros, cálculos rígidos y exactos que
responden a preguntas como ¿cuánto pesa, cuánto mide, qué color es,
qué sabor tiene, etc.? El otro modo de saber es la fe, que no es tan
rigurosa como la ciencia, pero que da al hombre cierta seguridad en las
cosas que percibe. Frases como "tengo fe en que las cosas saldrán bien"
y otras que suenan parecido, encuentran en la vida espiritual su fuente y
alimento, de manera que la persona entre más "espiritual" sea, más
preparada está para enfrentar los problemas de la vida.
En 1998 el Papa Juan Pablo II escribió la encíclica Fides et Ratio,
cuyo primer párrafo presenta el contenido general de la misma: "La fe y
la razón son como las dos alas con las cuales el espíritu humano se eleva
hacia la contemplación de la verdad. Dios ha puesto en el corazón del
hombre el deseo de conocer la verdad y, en definitiva, de conocerle a Él
para que, conociéndolo y amándolo, pueda alcanzar también la plena
verdad sobre sí mismo" (cf. Ex 33, 18; Sal 27 [26], 8-9; 63 [62], 2-3; Jn 14,
8; 1 Jn 3, 2).
En el evangelio de hoy se relata la manifestación de Cristo a los
apóstoles y la incredulidad de uno de ellos. Tomás no creyó ni a las
mujeres ni a quienes le anunciaron la resurrección de Cristo el Señor. Y
era ciertamente un apóstol que iba a ser enviado a predicar el evangelio.
Cuando comenzó a predicar a Cristo, ¿cómo podía pretender que le
creyeran lo que él mismo no había creído? Sus compañeros le dijeron
"Hemos visto al Señor"; y él respondió "Si no introduzco mis manos en su
costado y no toco las señales de los clavos no creeré". Es que Tomás
quería creer con los dedos, como si el Señor hubiera venido para que lo
tocaran. ¿Entonces por que el mismo Señor dijo antes a María: "No me
toques, pues aún no he subido al Padre?" (Jn 20,17). San Agustín hace
notar que a la mujer que cree se le dice "no me toques", mientras dice al
varón incrédulo le dice "tócame". Tal vez a Tomás se le hizo poco que el
Señor se le ofreciera a sus ojos y por eso se le ofreció también a sus
manos.

Bravo for a job well done as twelve adults and youth packed 201
boxes of food in two hours at the Community Food Bank on
March 28th. Kudos to: Lilly Traina, Andrew Decker, Eric Bucikowski,
Shivani and Devang Desai, Irenonsen and Patrick Eigbe, Timothy
and Fred Meineke, and Jennifer Kerrin and Andrew Lynch. What a
wonderful way to observe the Lenten journey by sharing your
time for others. God bless!
