Third Sunday of Easter April 30, 2017
“Lord Jesus, open the Scriptures to us;
make our hearts burn while you speak to us.” Cf. Lk 24:32
Dear Parishioners,
This Monday, May 1, 2017, we begin the Month of May, the Month of Mary. Our Blessed Mother is united with us all throughout
these days of Easter Time. When the weeks of Easter come to a close
at Pentecost, we will be intimately united with Mary and the Apostles
in the Upper Room praying with deep faith for a new outpouring of
the Holy Spirit from the Father and his Risen Son. The Church en-
courages expressions of devotion to the Blessed Mother all the time.
However, May stands out as a special period of devotion. In fact, this
May 13th, the Church throughout the world, honors our Blessed Moth-
er under the title of Our Lady of Fatima as we observe the 100th anni-
versary of her apparition to the three young children in that town.
Please see elsewhere in the Parish Bulletin the Fatima anniversary
observances here at the Cathedral Basilica. I encourage you to turn to
Mary with greater frequency this Month of May. Pick up her Rosary
more often. Pray the time honored prayers asking for Mary’s inter-
cession, especially the Memorare and the Regina Coeli. If you are
having trouble recalling these prayers, they are easily found on the
internet. Above all, May is the time for May Processions in honor of
Mary. The Archdiocesan May Procession will take place next Sunday in the Basilica at 2:00 PM. Everyone is welcome!
Next weekend, the relics of Padre Pio will be presented at the Ca-thedral Basilica. The Archdiocese is the first stop for this tour of the
relics of this wonderful Saint which will continue throughout the
United States after this weekend. Please see the insert in this edition
of the Parish Bulletin for more complete information. Help spread the
word to others about this opportunity to venerate the relics of Padre
Pio and to ask for his heavenly help to live more fully the Christian
life.
The Augustinian Fathers have introduced the cause for Beatifica-
tion and Canonization of the Servant of God, Father William Atkin-son, OSA. The Archbishop formally opened this Cause this past Mon-
day, April 24, 2017 at Saint Thomas of Villanova Parish in Villanova
(see http://catholicphilly.com/2015/11/news/national-news/sainthood-
cause-for-local-priest-approved-by-u-s-bishops/). One of the places
to announce the Cause of a proposed candidate for Sainthood is the
Cathedral Church. If anyone has any material that argues favorably or unfavorably for the reputation of holiness of Father Atkinson,
please bring this to my attention. We entrust this Cause to the provi-
dence of Almighty God! The second collection at Mass next Sunday will be the national collection for the Catholic Homes Missions. Thank you so very much
for all of your goodness and generosity to the Cathedral Parish in so
many ways, and to the annual Catholic Charities Appeal.
Happy Easter,
Father Dennis Gill

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Con los ojos bien abiertos
Sólo san Lucas cuenta la historia de los dos discípu-
los camino a Emaús, una historia llena de vacíos misteri-
osos. Mientras que todos los demás discípulos y la madre
de Jesús se encontraban en Jerusalén tratando de entender
el hecho asombroso de la Resurrección, ¿por qué estos
dos salían apurados de la ciudad? Sólo se menciona el
nombre de uno: Cleofás. ¿Quién era el otro? Un amigo,
hermano, primo o tal vez la esposa de Cleofás? Los dos
platicaban sobre los terribles acontecimientos en Jeru-
salén durantes los días anteriores cuando de pronto un
extraño se les une en el camino y les pregunta de qué
hablaban. El extraño, después de escuchar atentamente la
historia que contaban los otros dos, les explicó lo que
aconteció con Jesús dentro del contexto total de las escri-
turas judías. Pero esos dos discípulos estaban demasiado
cegados por el dolor para darse cuenta de quién era el
extraño que les acompañaba. Era ya tarde cuando
llegaron al pueblo, por eso lo convencieron a quedarse en
la casa, la cual imaginamos que pertenecía a esta pareja o
a algún familiar de ellos. La culminación de la historia
ocurre cuando ya sentados a la mesa Jesús parte el pan y
da gracias. Es en ese momento que “se les abrieron los
ojos” y reconocieron que su invitado era el Señor (Lucas
24:31). No fue solamente que abrieron sus ojos, sino más
bien que despertaron a una nueva realidad. Tal vez ése
sea el caso; o sea, que la gracia de Dios llega a nosotros
en medio de una comida o cuando nos precipitamos a
salir como tratando de escaparnos. La gracia de Dios se
derrama en nosotros en medio de los momentos cotidi-
anos ordinarios, durante nuestras luchas para tratar de
entender, en las conversaciones que surgen mientras es-
peramos en línea para pagar, junto a la cama de un famil-
iar enfermo, durante llamadas telefónicas y mientras
manejamos para recoger o dejar a los niños. La historia
de Emaús dice que Dios está vivo, ahora mismo, en este
momento. ¡Despierta y ve!
La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora

The First Friday Devotion
“Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is of great
antiquity in the Church. It was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque,
however, who made this devotion widespread... To those who show him love and who make reparation for sins,
however, our Lord made a great pledge: ‘I promise you in
the unfathomable mercy of my heart that my omnipotent
love will procure the grace of final penitence for all those
who receive communion on nine successive first Fridays of
the month; they will not die in my disfavor, or without
having received the sacraments, since my divine heart will
be their sure refuge in the last moments of their life.’4
The great promise of the Sacred Heart is most consoling:
the grace of final perseverance and the joy of having Jesus'
heart as our sure refuge and infinite ocean of mercy in our
last hour.
To gain this grace, we must:
♦ Receive holy Communion on nine consecutive first
Fridays.
♦ Have the intention of honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and of reaching final perseverance.
♦ Offer each holy Communion as an act of atonement for
offenses against the Blessed Sacrament.” .
4. lbid. Source: catholicnewsagency.com
The First Five Saturdays Devotion (First Saturday of Five Consecutive Months)
This devotion has four parts which should be made in a
spirit of reparation for the offenses and blasphemies
committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for
peace in the world:
♦ Confession, generally eight days before or after the First
Saturday of the month.
♦ Receive Holy Communion (in the state of grace)
♦ Recite five decades of the Rosary. ♦ Meditate for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Holy
Rosary.

LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOW
EYES WIDE OPEN
Only Saint Luke tells the story of two disciples
walking to Emmaus, and it is full of puzzling gaps.
While all the other disciples and Jesus’ mother were in
Jerusalem trying to understand the amazing fact of the
Resurrection, why were these two hurrying out of town?
Only one is named—Cleopas. Who was the other? A
friend, a brother, a cousin or, perhaps, Cleopas’ wife?
The two were going over the terrible events in Jerusalem
during the previous days when they were joined by a
stranger who asked what they were talking about. He
listened intently to their story, and then explained what
had happened to Jesus in the larger context of the Jewish
scriptures. But these two were too blinded by grief to
realize who the stranger was. When they reached the vil-
lage it was late, so they persuaded him to come into the
house, which we may guess was either this couple’s
home or a relative’s. The culmination of the story occurs
when they sit down for a meal and Jesus breaks bread
and gives thanks, at which moment “their eyes were
opened” and they knew their guest was the Lord (Luke
24:31). It was not just that they opened their eyes, but
they were awakened to a whole new reality. Perhaps that
is just the point. God’s grace falls on us in the midst of
dinner or as we hurry down the road, trying to get away.
God’s grace falls on us smack dab in the everyday, ordi-
nary moments, in the plain and simple struggles to under-
stand, through conversations in the checkout line, at the
bedside of a sick relative, during phone calls and driving
the car to pick up or deposit the kids. The Emmaus story
says that God is alive, right now, in every moment. Wake
up and see!
Living Stewardship Now
Make a promise to yourself to notice the goodness
and presence of God in the everyday miracles of your
life, however small or great.
