PASTOR’S NOTE MASS INTENTIONS
Through his death and resurrection, Jesus gave us the
ultimate example of what it means to truly love your
neighbor as yourself, as he accepted death in order to
conquer our sins and give us everlasting life. Today, we
rejoice in his choice to love us and we celebrate his
glory! We also want to thank you for following the
example of Appeal Patron St. Clare of Assisi, who
fervently believed in loving her neighbors and uplifting
the poor and marginalized in society. Like St. Clare
of Assisi, we thank you for loving and uplifting those
who are most in need in Western New York by
contributing to Catholic Charities. Thank you for your
continued support of the 2018 Appeal!
Divine Mercy Sunday, April 8
1 Acts 4:32 - 35 “With great power the apostles bore
witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great
favor was accorded them all.”
Psalm 118 “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
his love is everlasting.”
1 John 5:1 – 6 “And the victory that conquers the
world is our faith. Who indeed is the victor over the
world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of
God?”
John 20:19 – 31 “…Then he said to Thomas, "Put your
finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and
put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but
believe."
TOWN OF TONAWANDA, NEW YORK -3- APRIL 1, 2018
WAKING UP CATHOLIC
Each year during the magnificent Easter Vigil lit-
urgy, parishes throughout the world welcome those
who have journeyed through the RCIA process into
full communion with Christ and His Church. Through
a time of seeking, discerning, prayer and study, sharing
who they are and who they hope to be, they are now
ready to answer the question - "What do you ask of
God's Church?"
Each year, the Christian community is witness to an
evening filled with awe at the reminder of our
Church's history and our journey from darkness into
light. It is also a time when the Church faithful is
asked to recognize that much has been asked of these
catechumens - and should be moved to ponder, what
is asked of me, a baptized Catholic? The new Catholic
Christian begins an entirely new life, infused with the
gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Body of Christ, should
we not use this most sacred time of year to be more
aware of the gifts we have already been given, and be-
gin again with the new joy and enthusiasm we see on
the faces of the newest members of our family?
Please join in prayer with the whole Church as
those who were "seekers" wake up Catholic on Easter
Sunday morning, ready to join the Body of Christ, now
fully committed to go out and spread the good news of
the Gospel.
From the Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska
O my Jesus, my only hope, thank you for the book
which You have opened before my soul’s eyes. That
book is Your passion which You underwent for love in
me. It is from this book that I have learned how to love
God and souls. In this book there are found for us
inexhaustible treasures. O Jesus, how few souls
understand You in Your martyrdom of love! Oh, how
great is the fire of purest love which burns in Your
most sacred heart! Happy the soul that has come to
understand the love of the heart of Jesus! (Diary 304)
My Response: Thank you, Jesus, for Your eternal love
and mercy.
"Reflecting on the healed wounds of the Risen Christ,
we see that even our most difficult trials can be the
place where God manifests his victory. He makes all
things beautiful. He makes all things new".

TODAY, EASTER SUNDAY!
From the Christian perspective, Easter Eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb. Let’s share the good news with our children! Come help us celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord with the first annual Blessed Sacrament Easter Egg Hunt, Easter Sunday after the 9:00 am Mass. Rain or shine inside or out, for children ages 1 through 9. Hope to see your family there!
Doors open at 5:00 pm Saturday, April 21st for our annual Meat Raffle! Your $5 admission includes beer (served to adults with proof of age), beverages, pop-corn and cookies. Pizza will be available for purchase. (No additional alcohol may be brought in, but you may bring additional snacks.) Bring singles for Meat Raffle Spins will include steak, chicken, ribs, bacon and much more. Table reservations accepted for 8 or more with your pre-sale ticket purchase in the parish office. Our special prize tickets give you the chance to win a grill, smoker, freezer and more (winners of the special
prize raffles do not need to be present). If you can work this event, please call Jane at 480-9071.
We welcome the return of Rev. Mr. Venatius Agbasiere, Transitional Deacon in the Diocese of Buffalo and author of the books “Suffering,” and “Welcome to the World of Social Media.” He wowed us once already with his warmth and humility of heart, his keen insights and his straight-talking style. We are honored to have him back! Who has not struggled to understand the suffering of a loved one? Who has not questioned God in the midst of personal misfortune? How can suffering be part of God's plan? How can we find joy, when filled with anxiety about the future? How can someone be happy while wracked with pain? Come join us as we end the Easter week discussing how to bind such suffering to Christ. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, during Easter week, we welcome all men to our next Men’s Breakfast and Bible Study on Saturday April 7, 2018 here at Blessed Sacrament Church. Mass at 8:00 AM, full breakfast at 8:40 AM, presentation at 9:15 AM, optional Bible study at 10:15 AM.
