Dear Parish Family,
We all have memories of Easter from Childhood such as coloring eggs with those tablets mixed with vinegar
(stinky!), egg hunts, Easter Bread, Easter Ricotta Pie, blessing of the First Easter Foods and Easter Parades among
so many others. They bring back both the aroma and comfort of Easter especially after the sacrifices of Holy Lent!
St. Francis of Assisi, a deacon of the Church, wrote only one prayer called “The Canticle of the Sun”. I hate to be
the bearer of bad news on Easter but he did not write or even know about the so-called “Prayer of St. Francis”. It
was written sometime around 1912 in France (not Italy) and originally titled, “A beautiful prayer to say during
Mass”. It later made its way to Italy where it was printed on the back of a Holy Card with St. Francis’ image on the
front of the card and re-titled “Prayer for Peace”. By World War II the image and the prayer became synonymous
and it was re-titled yet a third time to “Prayer of St. Francis” and the rest, as they say, is history!
Back to St. Francis and the prayer he actually composed, “The Canticle of the Sun”. It is a prayer praising God in
His mighty works of creation. The prayer is fitting for Easter and Spring since it captures the meaning of the Resurrection and the praise of all creation for God’s goodness found in Jesus;
“Most High, all powerful, good Lord,
Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor,
and all blessing.
To You alone, Most High, do they belong,
and no man is worthy to mention Your name.
Be praised, my Lord, through all your creatures,
especially through my lord Brother Sun,
who brings the day; and you give light through him.
And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!
Of you, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Praise be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon
and the stars, in heaven you formed them
clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind,
and through the air, cloudy and serene,
and every kind of weather through which
You give sustenance to Your creatures.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,
which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you light the night and he is beautiful
and playful and robust and strong.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth,
who sustains us and governs us and who produces
varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Praised be You, my Lord,
through those who give pardon for Your love,
and bear infirmity and tribulation.
Blessed are those who endure in peace
for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned.
Praised be You, my Lord,
through our Sister Bodily Death,
from whom no living man can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin.
Blessed are those whom death will
find in Your most holy willl,
for the second death shall do them no harm.
Praise and bless my Lord,
and give Him thanks
and serve Him with great humility.
In the final stanzas, St. Francis praises God for bodily death to which everyone is subject and no one escapes, but if
you do God’s Will and live a holy life there is nothing to fear. No fear because Jesus has paid our ransom by His
death on the Cross and by His resurrection, death causes us no harm.
Jesus gives us life but we must live that life united to His Cross and in hopefulness of sharing in His Resurrection. If we believe this and live it daily neither sin nor death can do us any harm.
Blessed Easter!
Peace and Good – Fr. Bambrick

at St. Al's or any other Catholic parish, we would like to invite you to a monthly gathering of "Keeping
Current" which meets every 3rd Sunday of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the Parish Office. We'll share our

God is Calling You!!!!! God calls each of us into a deeper relationship each day. If you are not Catholic,
or if you are a Catholic who has not received all of your Sacraments, come check out the RCIA (Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults). See if full participation in the Church is what God is calling you to. Most
Tuesday nights, from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Parish Office, we have informal sessions where you can
come, ask questions and find out if this is right for you. Our next class will be on Tuesday, April 14 at
7:00 p.m. There is no commitment when you come to Inquiry, but if you want to pursue initiation, we’ll
tell you what steps need to be taken. Join us for Inquiry, check the parish website or call Deacon Al in the

7:00 p.m.). Our next meeting date will be Tuesday, April 14 at 8:00 p.m. The class is conversational, adult learning
with a little bit of required reading. You will learn A LOT about the Bible, your faith and yourself. For more information please contact Deacon Al in the Parish Office at 732-370-0500 ext. 208.
Breaking Open the Word...At Church! For years, now, Sr. Eileen and Jen have been offering reflection questions on the Sunday readings for families to share at home. After the 10:30 a.m.
Mass, Jen offers an opportunity to Break Open the Word at Church. Anyone who would like to is
welcome to join Jen in the Cafeteria for a quick exegesis (explanation of the readings) and some
questions for faith sharing. The whole thing lasts approximately 30 minutes. We will provide
questions for all age groups. You can sit with your family, grab a group of friends, or meet new
people to share with. For more information, contact Jen at the Parish Office. No need to register
for this--it will be pretty informal. Just come on by, and if you want to, bring a Bible!

April 5, 2015 - The Resurrection of the Lord - The Mass of Easter Day
Breaking Open the Word at Home by Sister Eileen Ivory O.P.
I am a Sister of St. Dominic, a member of the Dominican Order, a worldwide Religious community of Nuns, Sisters, Friars, Brothers and Laity. What is pertinent to this celebration of Easter is that Mary of Magdala is the Patron Saint of the entire Order. The OP after my name stands for Order of Preachers and Mary is considered to be
the first Preacher of the Resurrection. It was she who first discovered the empty tomb and then ran to announce
the news to Peter and the other disciples. It is worth noting that the #1 Preacher was a woman! It is also worth
thinking about the fact that Mary of Magdala went to the tomb as a grieving friend of the crucified Jesus. She acted as an ordinary friend would. She then responded to what she found by sharing the news with others who loved
Jesus. She did not say “I will preach the Good News.” She simply did it. A Blessed Easter to all.
Kids, Teens, Adults: Easter is the greatest feast of the entire year. It is the premier Truth of our Christian faith.
Celebrate the Holyday well. Consider with family and friends the ordinary, everyday ways in which you, like Mary
of Magdala, preach the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Domingo de Pascua de la Resurrección del Señor
Aquello que Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles, “Tengo el alma llena de una tristeza mortal. Quédense aquí, velando”, hoy nos lo dice también a nosotros. En esta semana, la más sagrada del cristianismo, Jesús nos invita a entrar en su corazón, y
permanecer allí orando con fervor y reflexionando sobre los maravillosos acontecimientos que presenciaremos en estos próximos días. De esta forma podremos regocijarnos en la victoria pascual de Cristo sobre el pecado y la muerte, y experimentar el gozo de la reconciliación con el Padre.
Al crearnos, Dios quiso que tuviéramos una íntima comunión con él, pero en el Jardín del Edén, el cumplimiento
del deseo divino quedó frustrado porque el hombre decidió desobedecerle. Más tarde, en el huerto de Getsemaní,
Jesús pidió que si era posible cumplir la voluntad de Dios sin beber la copa del sufrimiento, que así fuera, pero
siendo perfectamente obediente, sumiso y unido al Padre, añadió: “Padre… que no se haga lo que yo quiero, sino lo
que tú quieres.” Cristo aceptó la decisión del Padre, aun cuando su humanidad ansiaba otra solución. Por nuestra
parte, si permanecemos en Cristo y deseamos de todo corazón cumplir la voluntad del Padre, también recibiremos
respuesta a todas nuestras oraciones. Jesús dijo “no se haga lo que yo quiero”, y por eso nos puede decir “Si permanecen en mí… pidan lo que quieran y se les concederá” (Juan 15, 7).
La condición para recibir respuestas a la oración es permanecer unidos a Cristo y nutrirse de sus palabras, su
Cuerpo y su Sangre. Así descubrimos que abrazar la voluntad de Dios es abrazar a Dios mismo.
Hoy y todos los días de esta Semana Santa, empéñese por mantenerse unido a Cristo Jesús, para que pueda apreciar mejor el misterio de la salvación. Sea uno con Cristo y conozca la bendición de obedecer la voluntad de Dios.
Entonces, en toda circunstancia, podrá decir: “Padre, no se haga lo que yo quiero, sino lo que tú quieres.”
