April 17, 2016 4th Sunday of Easter Liturgical Season of Easter How Do We Celebrate the 50 Days? 2699 Peachtree Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia 30305 404-233-2145 www.cathedralofchristtheking.org WHAT’S INSIDE: Senior Luncheon Page 2 Volunteer Training Dates Page 3 Young Church Page 4 Parish Life Page 7 Around the Archdiocese Pages 8 Fr. Jose’s Column Page 9 Hispanic Pages Page 10 & 11 Though we look forward to Easter Sunday to celebrate the Risen Lord, Easter is a season, not just one day. The 50 days of the Easter season lasts from Easter all the way to the feast of Pentecost. The Church celebrates the season in many ways. We see the liturgical colors that decorate the worship space change from the purple of Lent to pure white which represents light, joy, triumph, and glory. The Church celebrates the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist during this season. Also, the readings proclaimed at Mass come from the Acts of the Apostles. In the pursuit of seeing God present in the world, the usual practice of reading the Old Testament is replaced by readings from the Acts of the Apostles. These readings tell the story of the early Church and how our first Church leaders, St. Peter and St. Paul, and many others, began to spread the Good News “throughout Judea and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) In the reading of Acts of the Apostles, we hear of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the growing pains of the early Church, the struggles, the miracles, the persecutions and the joy of serving the Risen Lord. Throughout these 50 days. we dive into how the Holy Spirit guided the followers of Christ in those early days of the Church. These stories speak to us today as a sign of encouragement and hope. That same Holy Spirit that was poured out on Mary and the Apostles in the Upper Room has also been poured out on us through the Sacraments of Initiation. Easter is a time that the Church, in her wisdom, has set aside for us to reconnect to those first days that the Apostles experienced the Risen Lord. It is a reminder that God has not abandoned us, nor left us on our own. Jesus Christ has conquered death and sin and is alive and well and working in our lives. We are called to reflect on this saving grace, thank God in His mercy and rejoice in the Lord! Alleluia! Confirmation Next Weekend The Sacrament of Confirmation will take place at the following Masses: Friday, April 22 at 7:00pm; Saturday, April 23 at 10:00am; Sunday, April 24 at 4:00pm LifeTeen Mass. All are welcome and please remember in your prayers the146 teens, their sponsors and their families as they make the final preparations for this beautiful Sacrament.

Jose Kochuparampil WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS A few days ago I was visiting a patient at Piedmont hospital. As I entered the room I saw something unusual, the presence of two little children, a third grader and a kindergartner. Let us call them Thomas and Luke (not the real names). They were visiting their grandpa with their mother. During our conversation the mother told me that they belong to the Cathedral parish and Thomas (third grade) attends the parish school. His mother also said Thomas was one of the altar servers for Msgr. McNamee’s Mass at four on the previous Sunday. Obviously all of us, the grandparents of which the grandpa was the patient, the children’s mother and I, turned all our attention toward the two little ones. As our conversation progressed the little ones’ mother revealed that her third grader started reading the whole Bible and has reached up to the book of Psalms. When I felt the little ones were comfortable in answering my queries I posed a question: Between you both who was going to be priest? To which while the younger one looked at me not knowing what to say, Thomas responded “I don’t know.” At this point I said to Thomas: “Don’t worry Thomas, you have plenty of time. As you grow up God will show your way in life.” These are the ways a faith-filled family sows the seeds of a God-centered life in their children. Celebrating the faith regularly at one’s parish as a family, encouraging the children in getting involved in the various activities at the parish, teaching them about the faith and its basic tenets and living that faith in families are some of the ways we can nurture vocations in our families. I was so impressed with the parents of Luke and Thomas who make it a point to nurture in their children an openness to listen to the call of God. Indeed, these are the ways the parents become God’s instruments in nurturing vocations in the families. The US Bishops’ Conference has the following to say about today’s observance: “The purpose of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations is to publically fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). As a climax to a prayer that is continually offered throughout the Church, it affirms the primacy of faith and grace in all that concerns vocations to the priesthood and to the consecrated life. While appreciating all vocations, the Church concentrates its attention this day on vocations to the ordained ministries (priesthood and diaconate), to the Religious life in all its forms (male and female, contemplative and apostolic), to societies of apostolic life, to secular institutes in their diversity of services and membership, and to the missionary life, in the particular sense of mission "ad gentes.” The Cathedral Flower Guild is seeking sponsors for the weekly altar flowers. Both the sponsor’s name and the name of the person being honored will be printed in the Sunday bulletin on the weekend the flowers appear on the altar. The cost of sponsorship is $150 for the main altar; $100 for each side altar; and $60 for the Parish Hall. The Flower Guild will select the arrangements; and the colors will be compatible with the Cathedral colors and feast days. The Cathedral arrangements will remain on the altars for the following week. If you are interested in learning more about the program please contact Cathy Thurmond, [email protected] or 404-352-3513. Today marks the 53rd year of the observance of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. To continue the ministry of Jesus the Church needs vocations. Our families should be the fertile soil for our children to discern their vocations. Our children need to grow up in a family atmosphere where they witness the deep, committed and unconditional love of their parents for each other. Looking through the eyes of faith I can affirm only those couples who lead a Christo-centric life can cultivate the afore-mentioned family atmosphere for their children. 9 CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE KING CATEDRAL DE CRISTO REY 2699 Peachtree Road NE Atlanta, GA 30305 MISIÓN CATÓLICA DE CRISTO REY 3349 Buford Highway, Suite 17A1 Brookhaven, GA 30329 (a la mano derecha de Briarwood Rd) MINISTERIO HISPANO Padre Feiser MuñozTeléfono 404-267-3696 Horario Lunes a Viernes : 9:00 AM 5:00 PM CELEBRACIÓN EUCARÍSTICA Capilla Martes Kenny Hall Sábado Catedral Domingo Misión Domingo EN ESPAÑOL 7:00 PM 5:00 PM 1:30 PM 9:30 AM WWW.CATHEDRALOFCHRISTTHEKING.ORG El Domingo de Resurrección o de Pascua es la fiesta más importante para todos los católicos, ya que con la Resurrección de Jesús es cuando adquiere sentido toda nuestra religión. Cristo triunfó sobre la muerte y con esto nos abrió las puertas del Cielo. En la Misa dominical recordamos de una manera especial esta gran alegría. Se enciende el Cirio Pascual que representa la luz de Cristo resucitado y que permanecerá prendido hasta el día de la Ascensión, cuando Jesús sube al Cielo. La Resurrección de Jesús es un hecho histórico, cuyas pruebas entre otras, son el sepulcro vacío y las numerosas apariciones de Jesucristo a sus apóstoles. Cuando celebramos la Resurrección de Cristo, estamos celebrando también nuestra propia liberación. Celebramos la derrota del pecado y de la muerte. En la resurrección encontramos la clave de la esperanza cristiana: si Jesús está vivo y está junto a nosotros, ¿qué podemos temer?, ¿qué nos puede preocupar? CONFESIONES Lunes y Miércoles 7:15 - 7:45 AM 6:00 - 6:30 PM Sábados 8:30 - 9 AM / 3 - 4:00 PM Cualquier sufrimiento adquiere sentido con la Resurrección, pues podemos estar seguros de que, después de una corta vida en la tierra, si hemos sido fieles, llegaremos a una vida nueva y eterna, en la que gozaremos de Dios para siempre. Misión Domingos San Pablo nos dice: “Si Cristo no hubiera resucitado, vana seria nuestra fe” (I Corintios 15,14) Si Jesús no hubiera resucitado, sus palabras hubieran quedado en el aire, sus promesas hubieran quedado sin cumplirse y dudaríamos que fuera realmente Dios. 9:00 - 9:30 AM Otros días, previa cita únicamente.

La Resurrección es fuente de profunda alegría. A partir de ella, los cristianos no podemos vivir más con caras tristes. Debemos tener cara de resucitados, demostrar al mundo nuestra alegría porque Jesús ha vencido a la muerte. La Resurrección es una luz para los hombres y cada cristiano debe irradiar esa misma luz a todos los hombres haciéndolos partícipes de la alegría de la Resurrección por medio de sus palabras, su testimonio y su trabajo apostólico. Debemos estar verdaderamente alegres por la Resurrección de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. En este tiempo de Pascua que comienza, debemos aprovechar todas las gracias que Dios nos da para crecer en nuestra fe y ser mejores cristianos. Vivamos con profundidad este tiempo. Con el Domingo de Resurrección comienza un Tiempo pascual, en el que recordamos el tiempo que Jesús permaneció con los apóstoles antes de subir a los cielos, durante la fiesta de la Ascensión. La fiesta de la Pascua es tan importante, que un solo día no nos alcanza para festejarla. Por eso la Iglesia ha fijado una octava de Pascua (ocho días) para contemplar la Resurrección y un Tiempo Pascual (cincuenta días) para seguir festejando la Resurrección del Señor. 4TH SUNDAY OF EASTER APRIL 17, 2016 Pablo y Bernabé encontraron tanto el rechazo violento como la alegre aceptación del mensaje que predicaban. Puede que nosotros, también, nos encontremos con reacciones mixtas cuando empleamos nuestros dones al servicio de Dios. Pero, el Evangelio nos asegura que, la recompense para los que siguen fielmente, es la vida eternal.
