EASTER SUNDAY ~ April 5, 2015

EASTER SUNDAY ~ April 5, 2015
MADISON’S DOWNTOWN CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
ABOUT OUR PARISH
The Cathedral Parish of St.
Raphael was formed on July
1, 2008 by the merger of
three
historic
parishes
located within a few blocks
of the Capitol Square.
SAINT
PATRICK
404 E. Main St.
The buildings of two of
those historic parishes –
Holy Redeemer and St.
Patrick – provide the
current facilities for the
Cathedral Parish. Mass is
offered every day in both
churches.
The parish
rectory is at the Holy
Redeemer site, while the
offices are at the St. Patrick
location.
HOLY
REDEEMER
120 W. Johnson St.
Old St. Raphael Cathedral
was destroyed by arson in
2005. Bishop Morlino has
announced his intention to
erect a new cathedral on the
same site (at West Main and
Fairchild). In the meantime,
an outdoor Way of the Cross
is located there.

Marriage Enrichment Series—REFOCCUS
Begins Saturday, April 11th, 5:45 pm—8:00 pm
At St. Patrick Church Hall
Are you looking for a way to strengthen and build your marriage? Do
you need to find time to connect with your spouse? Then come join us
for ‘REFOCCUS’! We will gather with other couples for prayer, a reflection from a married couple, and time as a couple to ‘REFOCCUS’ your
marriage through resources that will help you dialogue about important
things such as communication, intimacy, and commitment! This five
session series will continue one Saturday per month:
May 9th
June 13th
July 25th
August 9th
It ‘s not necessary for couples to attend all sessions, but the more the better! The $15 per couple fee covers all five sessions. To register, please
visit registration.madisondiocese.org/mm/ or for more information,
please contact Marc Laudonio at 257-5000 or [email protected]
Encounter Culture: Invitation to Transformation
Are you striving to be perfect? What is the real meaning of perfection?
How do we get there?
The journey to perfection is something that we are all called to participate in. The problem is, we usually follow our own way--our own
idea of perfection. Our projects and problems become distractions on the
path of transformation, and we get stuck. How can we let go of this and
become open to transformation? Join us for Encounter Culture on Saturday, April 18th, at 6 pm in the St. Patrick church hall, where we will
observe one man’s journey to perfection in the film On the Waterfront.
You are invited for reflection, discussion, and good company!
Have you been wanting to come to Encounter Culture, but unable to
make it? No problem! Everything you need to catch up at home is
online! Visit the Encounter Culture page on the parish website for materials, or contact Morgan at [email protected] for more info.

Venite Adoremus This Friday
Come out for a Holy Hour with other young adults from around the Diocese of Madison on Friday, April 10th, at St. Andrew Church in Verona.
The evening includes Eucharistic Adoration, Reconciliation, and a meditation given by a priest. This is a great way to meet friends and deepen
your faith. There is also time for socializing after the Holy Hour.
Young Adult Brunch Next Sunday—April 12th
We have a brunch for young adults (in their 20s and 30s) after the 11:00
am Mass at St. Patrick on the first Sunday of each month. This month,
because of Easter, our brunch will be April 12th. Cash donations to help
defray the cost of the brunch are greatly appreciated.
To receive email updates about Young Adult activities in our parish, please

 FAITH FORMATION 
The Main Event Continues This Tuesday!
April 7th: The Tradition of Prayer; The Life of Prayer
‘The Main Event’ is a systematic study of the Catholic Faith for adults,
revealing how all the aspects of the Catholic Faith fit together into one
beautiful plan of God designed to bring us to authentic happiness. The
next session will be covering the section in the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on ’The Tradition of Prayer’ and ’The Life
of Prayer’. ‘The Main Event’ begins with Evening Prayer, followed by
the presentation with Q&A, small group discussion, and social time
(with snacks)! ‘The Main Event’ is held weekly on Tuesday evenings
6:30—8:30 pm at St. Patrick. Check the website for more details, including the full schedule and topics of each gathering.
Bible Study on Acts Begins Thursday, April 16th
Do you desire to grow in your knowledge and love of Christ through the
study of the Scriptures? If so, then you are invited to a new Bible Study
on the Acts of the Apostles beginning April 16th.
Thursdays, April 16th-July 16th
6:00—7:00 pm Holy Redeemer Library
Since Acts is all about how the Holy Spirit continued the work of Jesus in
the early Church, there will be an emphasis on preparation for Pentecost. We will use the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible: New Testament which
includes in-depth commentary by Scott Hahn. There will be copies of the
commentary on Acts available for $11, and of the New Testament guide for
$19. There will also be ICSB Acts and ICSB New Testaments available to
borrow while at the study. Feel free to come to as many sessions as you
can—whether it is all of them or just one! Please contact Marc Laudonio at
257-5000 or [email protected] with any questions or for more information.
For further information on any of these programs, visit our website at
www.isthmuscatholic.org, or contact Marc Laudonio at 257-5000 or

 PARA REFLEXIONAR 
Cristo ha Resucitado
Es un hecho incuestionable que la felicidad navideña esta mucho
mas extendida que la felicitación de la Pascua de Resurrección. Todo el
mundo se felicita en las Navidades, aunque muchos no sean capaces de
dar razón de lo que esas palabras expresan. Por el contrario, son muy
pocos los que se felicitan en la Pascua, aunque,
posiblemente, lo hagan con mayor consciencia.
La historia de la Salvación es una historia de
Luz. Dios es la Luz, mientras que la impotencia y
el sufrimiento humano se describe en la Biblia
bajo la imagen de tinieblas, hasta el punto de que
el camino hacia nuestra plena felicidad se simboliza en el paso de la noche al día, de la oscuridad
a la luz. “Conduciré a los ciegos por un camino
que no conocen, Por sendas que no conocen los
guiare; Cambiare delante de ellos las tinieblas en
Luz y lo escabroso en llanura” (Is 42,16).
Antes de la victoria Pascual de Cristo, el
hombre vivía condenado a la oscuridad del pecado y de la muerte, dos enemigos imbatibles que nos tapaban la Luz de
Dios. El plan divino de redención del mundo asumió nuestra noche, para
transformarla en luz. Cristo se hizo pecado (2 Cor. 5,21), y padeció bajo
el poder de la muerte, para vencer al enemigo en su propio terreno. La
Resurrección de Cristo transformó la noche en día; la gracia vence al pecado y la vida derrota a la muerte. Así lo proclamamos en el Pregón Pascual: Esta es la noche en que la columna de fuego esclareció las tinieblas
del pecado…. Esta es la noche de la que estaba escrito: Será la noche clara como el día, la noche iluminada por mi gozo….”.
La Noche de la Purificación: Pero todavía falta algo para culminar la
Historia de la Salvación. Nos referimos a la necesidad de que cada uno
de nosotros haga suyo ese tesoro que es la Gracia. No basta con el anuncio de que la Luz de Cristo vence a las tinieblas, sino que es necesario
que ese acontecimiento tenga lugar en cada uno de nosotros, es decir,
que lo personalicemos en nuestro interior.
La reflexión que hoy hacemos sobre esta noche, nos llena de esperanza ante las situaciones de oscuridad o soledad, que podamos atravesar a
lo largo de nuestra vida. ¡Cristo ha Resucitado! Y, en consecuencia, tenemos sobradas razones para la confianza y la alegría.
¡Feliz Pascua de Resurrección!.

Por el día de la Divina Misericordia, que es el domingo 12 de abril, el
grupo de oración “Jesús a la Humanidad” les invitan a conocer mas de
la Misericordia del Señor y del inmenso amor que Él tiene por nosotros, Sus hijos.
La Novena de la Divina Misericordia, con la recitación de la Coronilla comenzó el viernes 3 de abril, y termina el sábado 11 de abril. Las
personas deben estar en estado de gracia, pueden confesarse hasta una
semana antes del día de la Fiesta, para poder recibir a Jesús en la Santa
Eucaristía. Para las personas que hacen esto, Jesús les hizo esta promesa: “Durante esta novena, concederé a las almas toda clase de gracias” (Diario, 796)
El domingo 12, meditaremos las promesas que Nuestro Señor dio a
todos nosotros por medio de Santa Faustina, tendremos una Cruzada
de Oración, y a las 3:00 pm recitaremos la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia como lo ha pedido nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Están todos invitados a participar el domingo 12 de abril a las 12:30
pm, después de la Misa de las 11:00 am en el comedor de Holy Redeemer.
Antes de comenzar nuestras oraciones, tendremos un pequeño almuerzo.
El almuerzo, que además trae bebida y postre, no tiene precio, pero su
contribución voluntaria en “la cajita” será grandemente apreciada.
Para anotarse, y saber cuantas personas vendrán, o si tienen preguntas,
por favor llamen a María al 257 - 5000. Gracias y que Dios les bendiga.
