April 9, 2018 Rosary Altar Society Meeting

We host a Baby Shower for Birthright of Schenectady

This month we meet on the second Monday,

April 9, in the Flicker Room at 7 pm. Refreshments will

be served. All women of the parish are invited.

Birthright’s function, in a nutshell, is to help the

distressed mother not feel pressured to have an

abortion. Our responsibility is to provide whatever

particular help she needs to bring her baby to term.

Donations to Birthright literally save lives.

All baby gifts are truly appreciated by our needy

mothers. We especially need these items for our

newborn layettes: diapers (sizes Newborn, 3 & 5),

Vaseline, Baby Lotion, Desitin and newborn baby

clothes. There is no need to gift wrap.

If you are unable to attend, you may leave your

baby gift in the bassinette in the gathering space. Also

needed are used baby clothes, up to size 2T in good

condition, and children’s toys and books.

Any questions, call Joan at 518-399-4369.

I would like to thank the many well-wishers who

sent cards and offered their support during my

recovery from surgery. You made me feel like I am

truly part of a family. Parishioner, Tim Zukas

Invest just five minutes a day,

and your faith will deepen and grow

Sunday, Apr 8, 2018 DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY; SOLEMNITY OF THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER Who taught you mercy? Moral leaders agree that the number one lesson we need to teach children is mercy. If the next generation is to survive in an ever-shrinking world full of very different cultures, the willingness to seek understanding and to dialogue across worldviews is key. The starting point for that kind of empathetic listening is a heart open to compassion. Compassion literally means “to bear with”: to see and feel another’s burdens. Who taught you mercy, and how will someone learn it from you?

READINGS: Acts 4:32-35; 1 John 5:1-6; John 20:19-31 (44). “The community of believers was of one mind and heart, and . . . they had everything in common.”

Monday, Apr 9, 2018 SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD The three best words Mary is the mother of the church and the model of all Christians. At the message of an angel, she believed beyond all reason and offered her life in service of God’s plan. Her response, “let it be,” is the answer of every disciple who trusts in God’s word to make all things new. In the season of Lent, God invites us to believe that we, too, are called to that service. Even though we are sinners—“how can this be?”—we live in hope of God’s forgiveness and trust that God will work through us to bring about the fulfillment.

READINGS: Isaiah 7:10-14; 8:10; Hebrews 10:4-10; Luke 1:26-38 (545). “Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ ”

Tuesday, Apr 10, 2018 EASTER WEEKDAY Be prepared to testify In the Book of Acts we are told that “with great power the apostles bore witness to Resurrection.” In fact, said Benedictine monk Columba Stewart in National Geographic, the “apostles were the movement’s cutting edge, spreading the message across the vast trade network of the ancient world and leaving small Christian communities in their paths.” This missionary zeal is passed on to each new generation of Christians, but it takes different forms. Today, although many Christians still travel to foreign lands to serve the poor and give witness to Christ, believers are also encouraged to evangelize—spread the gospel—within their own homes, parishes, and local communities. How is your evangelization going? Hint: They should know you are Christian by your love.

READINGS: Acts 4:32-37; John 3:7b-15 (268). “We speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen.”

Wednesday, Apr 11, 2018 MEMORIAL OF STANISLAUS, BISHOP AND MARTYR Whom do you follow? Like Archbishop Óscar Romero of El Salvador in the 20th century and Thomas à Becket of England in the 12th century, Saint Stanislaus (c. 1030-79) was, according to tradition, killed in church, in this case while celebrating Mass. Stanislaus’ murderer was the king of Poland, with whom he had a number of disputes over land and the king’s harsh rule. Throughout history the church has come into conflict with the powers that be. Jesus, of course, was put to death by the religious and political authorities of his time. Dorothy Day, of Catholic Worker fame, wrote in 1966: “Every new development for the last three centuries has brought [human beings] closer to the state of affairs in which absolutely nothing

would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State.” But for Christians, she said, Christ must be our guide. Who’s yours?

READINGS: Acts 5:17-26; John 3:16-21 (269). “But whoever lives the truth comes to the light.”

Thursday, Apr 12, 2018 EASTER WEEKDAY Listen to the right voice If it’s all up for grabs, why pay attention to what others teach or preach when everyone has their own relationship with God? After all, the Bible says, “Obey God, not humans.” Well, yes—and no. Indeed the buck does stop with God in that we are oriented by our nature to listen to God and respond to God’s call. But there’s a lot out there to compete with our natural inclinations—fear, vulnerability, peer pressure, misinformation, and more—all of which can provide compelling alternative messages. Fortunately God graces us with not only our own lights but scripture and the church to give us a better sense of how to navigate. Think about the ways in your own life that God uses to connect with you.

READINGS: Acts 5:27-33; John 3:31-36 (270). “We must obey God rather than men.”

Friday, Apr 13, 2018 MEMORIAL OF MARTIN I, POPE, MARTYR

Gone should not be forgotten Saint Martin is the last pope in history to be honored as a martyr, but his death for the faith did not occur quickly. After being elected pope in 649 he made enemies by opposing a heresy and condemning the emperor for supporting that heresy. As a result, while lying sick, Martin was kidnapped and carted off to the East, where he was jailed and eventually exiled. During this time he was given poor food, not allowed to wash regularly, and came down with dysentery. On top of that he was ignored by his church back home. “I wonder . . . at those who belong to the church of Saint Peter for the little concern they show for one of their body,” he wrote. Let this saint’s experience motivate you to perform the corporal works of mercy denied him—like clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, and visiting the prisoner.

READINGS: Acts 5:34-42; John 6:1-15 (271). “There was not a needy person among them.”

Saturday, Apr 14, 2018 EASTER WEEKDAY It is I Jesus had sent the disciples on ahead of him in a boat. During the night the going got pretty rough. In the midst of their struggle—remember, they were rowing—Jesus came toward them on the water, a startling development even though it meant rescue. Jesus allayed their fears with three words: “It is I.” Actually, it’s only two, in Greek: “I am.” Sound familiar? They are the words God uses to identify himself at a number of places in scripture. So Jesus isn’t merely saying, “Don’t worry, it’s me.” He’s declaring that he is God but also that God simply is—the foundation of everything. Next time you find yourself rowing against the waves of trouble, remember you’re always on solid ground with God.

READINGS: Acts 6:1-7; John 6:16-21 (272). “He said to them, ‘It is I. Do not be afraid.’ ”

A Report from the RCIA Team…..

Last week, at the Easter Vigil, four amazing people were brought into the Church. This would not have been

possible without the extraordinary efforts of so many people. First of all, we’d like to thank Mike and Maria Groves

Jeanne Behr, Joe Bucci, Sean Caron, Fr Jerry, Maria Groves, Gerry & Jerry Havasy, Paul & Carole Heckman, Nancy

Lethbridge, Jason Marion, Joyce & Hank Maddalone, Deacon Mike, Karen Ronca and David Wetzel) who helped

our candidates prepare for their entry into full communion with the Catholic Church. We recognize our very

talented choir, our ushers, greeters, readers and extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist; our altar servers, the

decorating committee, the liturgy committee and our clean-up committee. We especially thank Suzi Tremblay and

her family for providing hospitality at the morning prayer service and, along with Karen Bond, for providing

hospitality with the Easter Vigil reception; the Knights of Columbus for keeping watch over the Easter Fire; Kathy and Fran for their

administrative support; Deacon Mike for his presence on the altar and most of all we thank Tom Bigos, Jeanne Behr and Fr. Jerry for

their tremendous support, patience and attention to detail ensuring the Rites went very smoothly. On behalf of Leanna, Jeff, Mark,

Jennifer, myself and the RCIA team….THANK YOU, SO VERY MUCH!!! Kim Klementowski, RCIA coordinator

From the Pastor:From the Pastor:From the Pastor:From the Pastor:

Like Jesus’ first disciples, and like those who have been newly baptized and welcomed into our midst, we have been given

this time after Easter to discover for ourselves the meaning of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Today the Risen One invites us invites us invites us invites us

to believe, and bids us to forgive as he didto believe, and bids us to forgive as he didto believe, and bids us to forgive as he didto believe, and bids us to forgive as he did in his divine mercy. Great favor was bestowed on the early community of

believers because of their faith, and Saint John tells us today that our faith conquers the world. Let us rejoice and praise

God for this great gift of faith.

Today is the Second Sunday of Easter which is also known as “Divine Mercy Sunday.”“Divine Mercy Sunday.”“Divine Mercy Sunday.”“Divine Mercy Sunday.” The focus of Divine Mercy

Sunday, the eighth and last day of the Octave of Easter, is on God’s unbounded love and mercy for us and our broken

humanity. This is manifested so visibly in our Lord’s Paschal Mystery, and continually poured upon us through the

sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Reconciliation. We honor God’s mercy the most when we trust fully in God, when

we partake of the sacraments of God’s love, and when we are merciful to one another. The image of Divine Mercy is

placed in the gathering space for your personal devotion. A special mass for Divine Mercy will be celebrated at St. Mary’s

historic Catholic church in Albany today on Sunday, at 2 pm. May the mercy of God be upon us today and always.

Next Sunday at the 8 am Mass, we will have a special blessing for our new familiesspecial blessing for our new familiesspecial blessing for our new familiesspecial blessing for our new families. Following the Mass, we will

offer breakfast to our new sisters and brothers in the Flicker Room. How blessed we are to have new parish members.

We are finalizing our plans for the new entrancenew entrancenew entrancenew entrance to the Flicker Room and Parish Center. We are trying to be

practical and conservative with this new building in order to keep the cost more manageable, so a more modest entrance

is planned from our original model. We should have a sketch for you to see very soon. If all goes accordingly, we will

begin this project in June. We are always pleased to receive gifts for this addition.

Till next week, be well, do good deeds and say your prayers. Fr. JerryFr. JerryFr. JerryFr. Jerry
