April 8th Easter - Resurrection

Today we begin the Easter Season, our 50-day meditation on the mystery of Christ's Resurrection. Our Gospel today tells us about the disciples' discovery of the empty tomb. It concludes by telling us that they did not yet understand that Jesus had risen from the dead. Thus, the details provided are not necessarily meant to offer proof of the Resurrection. The details invite us to reflect upon a most amazing gift, that is faith in Jesus and his Resurrection. In the weeks ahead, we will hear how the first disciples moved from confusion, doubt, and skepticism to faith. Their experience can teach us how we too might receive this gift of faith from God. Reflect together on the Gospel with questions such as these: If you had been among the first disciples who heard that the stone had been removed from Jesus' tomb and that Jesus' body was no longer there, what would you think? What did Mary of Magdala, Simon Peter, and the disciple whom Jesus loved think had happened? Recall that this experience is the first indication Jesus' disciples have that he is Risen. Throughout the Easter season, we will learn more about how the disciples came to believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead. St. Vincent de Paul Bundle Weekend! Our next Bundle Weekend will be held on the weekend of May 12th & 13th. Please make time during the next few weeks to put aside your donations of soft goods. Your donations will help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to care for those in need in our community.

Families are working through crises and are healing. People with developmental challenges are supported as they experience a sense of self-worth and fulfillment in their daily activities. Refugees and new Canadians are guided toward a stable, productive livelihood in their newfound home. Seniors are living independently, with access to the care and services they need. Sometimes the results are obvious and sometimes theyre invisible but, always, theyre tangible.
