Page 3 Parish Happenings and Information Parents Lounge Fasting Before Receiving Communion The St. Sabina Parents Lounge was formed in Fall 2015. Its purpose is to offer parents an opportunity to meet other parish parents. We currently meet during PSR 9:00-10:00am Sunday mornings in the Juan Diego Room. We encourage all parents to join us. Some of our current members have school age children, some have infants and toddlers (which are welcome during the meetings) and some have school age, younger children, and older children. The Code of Canon Law states, “A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine... The elderly, the infirm, and those who care for them can receive the Most Holy Eucharist even if they have eaten something within the preceding hour.” Therefore, those receiving holy communion should fast one hour prior to receiving communion, not one hour before Mass begins. As the saying goes, “breakfast is the most important meal of the Here are a few things we have had fun doing as a group day,” so be assured that you can eat breakfast before with our families. coming to Mass in the morning. -We had fun at Trunk or Treat together as a group. -We hosted a Stuff the Turkey drive at Thanksgiving to World Day of Prayer for Vocations help parish families.

Since the beginning of the church’s history, we have gathered on Sunday to hear the scripture, to collect gifts for the poor, to pray for the living and the dead, to offer thanks and praise, to recognize Christ present in the breaking of the bread and the sharing of the cup. When the church gathered, the members did not feel complete if anyone was missing. Those absent because they were sick were remembered in prayer. Family members or others would take the body of Christ from the gathering to those who were absent. Is the Spirit calling you to ministry? Special Ministers to the Sick and Homebound are always needed at our parish. A love of the Eucharist, an hour or two per week, and a caring heart are all that is necessary. Training will be provided. For more info contact Marta Roper in the parish office. 979-3154 or [email protected] Need to receive Anointing of the Sick? If you suffer from a chronic illness, the affect of advanced years or have a upcoming surgery and wish to receive this sacrament let Fr Jeff or Fr Curt know before the Mass you attend and they will be glad to anoint you after Mass. If you would like to schedule it in advance or make an appointment for a weekday contact Marta Roper in the Parish Office, 816-979-3154.

Your actions can have a real effect on your health. Minor changes can have a major impact. WAKE UP EARLY: A recent study in the journal Cancer Causes & Control suggests that women who reported sleeping longer than ten hours on a regular basis may have an elevated risk for certain cancers. In fact, the researchers found that peri- and postmenopausal super-sleepers were 30 percent more likely to develop estrogen-related cancers, including endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancers.

Page 7 Stewardship “He then said to Simon Peter a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Tend my sheep.’ Jesus said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time, ‘Do you love me?’ and he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.’” John 21: 16-17 The exchange between the Lord and Peter is carefully narrated, as are Jesus’ responses. However, at the end of the Gospel Reading for today, Jesus says two simple words to Peter, “Follow Me.” Of course, these are the same two words with which we are familiar that Jesus used to call Peter and the others in the beginning. We need to understand that these instructions from Jesus are not just for the Apostles but for us as well. How have we responded to that call? Our reaction does not have to be as dramatic as Peter’s and the others, who abandoned their lives and their livelihood and became total followers of Christ. However, we, too, need to find the strength and the commitment to follow the Lord. How we carry that out is our stewardship, how we live our lives. — See more at www.catholicsteward.com/ blog/ March 27 Contributions Envelopes/Sobres: Plate/Canasta: Maintenance-Upkeep: CRS Rice Bowl: Holy Thursday: Holy Land (Good Friday) April 3 Contributions Envelopes/Sobres: Plate/Canasta: Maintenance-Upkeep: CRS Rice Bowl: Page 8 $10,898.69 $ 2,285.68 $ 1,157.31 $ 411.85 $ 1,046.00 $ 1,400.55 $16,716.10 $ 599.43 $ 2,824.70 $ 634.81 Ministry Fair Spring is approaching and that means we’re nearing our parish’s Stewardship Sundays.

Reflection on the Readings The readings for the Sundays of Easter in all three lectionary years are arranged differently. The first reading is taken from the Acts of the Apostles and not, as usual, from the Old Testament. The Acts readings emphasize the joy, excitement and commitment of the early followers of the risen Jesus. words spoken between Peter and Jesus. Remember that Peter had denied Jesus three times before the crucifixion. A later editor of John’s gospel saw the need to explicitly reconcile Jesus and Peter, and thus added chapter twenty-one. Like all scripture, this chapter is inspired by God and communicates the message that God desires to aid us in our salvation. The risen Jesus appears on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and aids the apostles in making a great catch of fish. Recognizing Jesus, the apostles head to shore where Jesus is preparing breakfast for them. After breakfast is served, Jesus addresses Peter three times with the question “Peter, do you love me?” This is in direct correlation to the three times that Peter denied Jesus. This Lectionary year C, the second reading is from the book of Revelation and not one of the New Testament letters. These readings celebrate the victory of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, wounded for our sake but now restored to power and glory. All of the gospels passages come from the gospel according to John, even though Lectionary year C focuses on the gospel according to Luke. All the readings highlight key Easter themes. This time, Peter affirms his love of Jesus three times. Each time, Jesus challenges Peter to manifest that love Today’s selection from Acts recounts how the apostles by being a servant to all of God’s people, the mandate are ready and willing to suffer for preaching and given by Jesus at the last supper. The risen Lord allows evangelizing in Jesus’ name. Peter speaks for all by Peter to be reconciled and renewed once more, thus responding that they are witnesses to the reconciling redirecting Peter’s energy for service to God’s people. and forgiving deeds that God has done for all through Jesus. Followers of Jesus are called to witness and The risen Lord challenges us in the same fashion. No proclaim Jesus no matter the opposition or suffering matter what we have done, do we trust the risen Lord to involved. forgive, reconcile and renew us? How do we follow through on that reconciliation and renewal in very Reliance on the Lord engenders trust and hope in God practical and specific manifestations of service to who never abandons us. To emphasize our great Easter others? How do we tend and feed God’s people? The joy, we pray the same psalm verses and refrain used at new life of the Easter season is an excellent time to the Easter Vigil. With great joy, we join the psalmist in reflect on God’s love and to have it challenge us to singing the refrain from responsorial Psalm 30, “I will greater service of God’s people. praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me.” Biagio Mazza, The second reading from Revelation envisions a Pastoral Associate heavenly liturgy in which “wisdom and strength, honor, glory and blessing” are showered by countless angels, elders, and living Catholics are mostly exposed to the creatures on the Risen Christ, Bible through the Sunday Lectionary “the Lamb that was slain.” We Sunday, April 10 Readings.

Paluch Co., Inc. 1-855-685-5703 Reflexión Sobre las Lecturas Las lecturas de los Domingos de Pascua en los tres años del leccionario están ordenados de manera diferente. La primera lectura es tomada de los Hechos de los Apóstoles y no, como de costumbre, desde el Antiguo Testamento. Las lecturas de los Hechos enfatizan la alegría, el entusiasmo y el compromiso de los primeros seguidores del Jesús resucitado. oramos los mismos versos y estribillos del salmo usado en la Vigilia de Pascua. Con gran alegría, nos unimos al salmista en cantar el estribillo del Salmo responsorial 30, "Te ensalzaré, Señor, porque me has librado." La segunda lectura del Apocalipsis prevée una liturgia celeste en la que "la sabiduría y la fuerza, el honor, la gloria y la alabanza" están colmados en el Cristo resucitado, "El Cordero que fue inmolado" por ángeles, ancianos y vivientes innumerables. Se nos invita a unirse a esta adoración celestial de Cristo, el que murió para que todos puedan vivir. Esta vez, Pedro afirma su amor a Jesús tres veces. Cada vez, Jesús desafía a Pedro a manifestar este amor, siendo sirviente para todo el pueblo de Dios, el mandato dado por Jesús en la última cena. El Señor resucitado permite a Pedro para ser reconciliado y renovado una vez más, así redirigiendo la energía de Pedro para el servicio al pueblo de Dios. El Señor resucitado nos desafía de la misma manera. No importa lo que hemos hecho, ¿confiamos en que el Señor resucitado nos perdona, reconcilia y renueva? ¿Cómo terminamos con la reconciliación y renovación en manifestaciones muy concretas y específicas de servicio a los demás? ¿Cómo podemos cuidar y alimentar a la gente de Dios? La nueva vida de la temporada de Pascua es un momento excelente para reflexionar sobre el amor de Dios y para que se nos desafía a un mayor servicio del pueblo de Dios. El Evangelio está tomado del vigésimo primer capítulo de Juan. La mayoría de los eruditos de las Escrituras creen que el Evangelio de Juan originalmente terminaba con el capítulo veinte, sin palabras de reconciliación entre Pedro y Jesús. Recuerde que Pedro había negado a Jesús tres veces antes de la crucifixión. Un editor posterior del Evangelio de Juan vio la necesidad de reconciliar, de manera explícita, a Biagio Mazza Jesús y Pedro, y por lo tanto añadió Asociado Pastoral el capítulo veintiuno. Al igual que todas las escrituras, este capítulo es inspirada por Dios y comunica el La selección de hoy de los Hechos mensaje de que Dios nos quiere relata cómo los apóstoles están ayudar en nuestra salvación. listos y dispuestos a sufrir por predicar y evangelizar en nombre de El Jesús resucitado aparece en Jesús.

Este año Leccionario C, la segunda lectura es del libro del Apocalipsis y no una de las cartas del Nuevo Testamento. Estas lecturas celebran la victoria del Cordero, Jesucristo, herido por nosotros pero ahora restituido en el poder y la gloria. Todos los pasajes del evangelio vienen del Evangelio según San Juan, a pesar de que el año Leccionario C se centra en el Evangelio según San Lucas. Todas las lecturas enfatizan temas claves de Pascua. Lecturas Pagina 4 Escuela de Religión/Ministerio Juvenil Jóvenes de Junior High!
