Third Sunday <strong>of</strong> Easter — April <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2010</strong><br />
The Great Fifty Days<br />
Follow Me ~ Call and Witness<br />
The Easter Season Scriptures at a Glance:<br />
During the Easter Season, the Acts <strong>of</strong> the Apostles replaces the usual Hebrew<br />
Scriptures (Old Testament) for the First Reading. Acts is the “history” <strong>of</strong> the<br />
early Church from Saint Luke.<br />
First (Acts <strong>of</strong> the Apostles) Scripture: Acts 5: 27-32, 40b - 41<br />
As the apostles are brought before the Sanhedrin, they give witness to Jesus<br />
without fear. They are told once more not to speak the name <strong>of</strong> Jesus and they<br />
are dismissed. They rejoice in his name.<br />
The Second (Revelation) Scripture: Revelations 5: 11-14<br />
John declares the glory <strong>of</strong> Jesus, the Lamb <strong>of</strong> God, for worthy is the Lamb that<br />
was slain to receive power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory<br />
and blessing.<br />
The (Good News) Gospel: John 21: 1-19<br />
The disciples are welcomed on the shore by the Risen Christ. They cast their<br />
nets on the right side at his suggestion and finally have a catch. John<br />
recognizes Jesus and Peter jumps into the water to get to the nearby shore.<br />
Jesus invites them to have breakfast, both bread and fish. He then speaks to<br />
Simon Peter asking him three times, "Do you love me?" As he has denied him three times, he now pr<strong>of</strong>esses his love three times and<br />
is commissioned to feed his lambs and to tend his sheep. Jesus predicts Peter's ultimate death.<br />
Breaking Open the Easter Word:<br />
The impact <strong>of</strong> the resurrection on the disciples unfolds with his many appearances to the Apostles, to the women, and to others. He<br />
clearly chooses Peter from among the Apostles to feed his sheep. His threefold denial has given way to a threefold affirmation <strong>of</strong> his<br />
love and faith. The meal <strong>of</strong> the bread and fish evokes the multiplication <strong>of</strong> the loaves and the fish and the miracle that is the<br />
Eucharist. Jesus both feeds and calls his disciples through Peter to feed his lambs, his sheep. As witnesses to the name <strong>of</strong> Jesus after<br />
Pentecost, the Spirit-filled Disciples will neither be fearful nor silenced as they proclaim Jesus as the Lamb that was slain to receive<br />
power and glory.<br />
Some Easter Season Reflections by Father Tom:<br />
As we celebrate these Fifty Days <strong>of</strong> Easter, we are challenged to look into our lives in light <strong>of</strong> our Lenten Journey, and to ask<br />
ourselves how we have strengthened in the practices <strong>of</strong> our faith. Like Peter, we are called to see our own denials and like Peter to<br />
see things in a new light through our increasing love for Jesus. Have we really changed for the better or have the old habits just<br />
begun to creep back into our lives? Have we really come to love Christ more deeply or have the "changes" in our lives been shortlived<br />
and superficial?<br />
Discipleship calls for continuing growth and struggle. We have the graces that we need to grow in discipleship through the<br />
power <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ, yet we must continue the ongoing struggle to deepen in our faith and in our commitment to Christ cooperating<br />
with his grace. Like Peter, Jesus calls us and like Peter, our response must be to witness to the faith fearlessly and in the Spirit. We<br />
are to give witness both as individuals and as a Catholic Community, by inviting others to "come home" through our example,<br />
through our words <strong>of</strong> welcome, and through our deeds <strong>of</strong> love and caring concern for others. This is the joy <strong>of</strong> Easter, to celebrate<br />
life and love in Christ with one another and to reach out to all with the love <strong>of</strong> Christ, which gathers us together.<br />

CONGRATULATIONS: Prayers, blessings and congratulations to all those receiving the Sacrament <strong>of</strong><br />
Confirmation, Monday, April 19. We thank all those involved in sponsoring and preparing these<br />
Confirmandi over the past two years. May you grow in the Spirit and in your dedication to Christ, the Risen<br />
Lord.<br />
THANK YOU: To all those who worked so diligently to make our Lenten, Triduum and Easter experience<br />

collection. Most especially, thank you to those who assisted those in need by the support <strong>of</strong> both Catholic<br />
Charities and the Vincent De Paul Society. There is much "Pride in <strong>Pius</strong>" and the "good works" that we do.<br />
ANNUAL CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL: This weekend we launch the Annual Diocesan<br />
Ministries Appeal. The theme this year is "One in the Body and Blood <strong>of</strong> the Lord." We know that you will<br />
be as generous as always in supporting the many Catholic Ministries in our Diocese <strong>of</strong> Joliet. This is also a special "Year <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Eucharist" in the Diocese. We encourage you to take time before the Blessed Sacrament in the new Prayer Chapel, dedicated for this<br />
year and years to come and in prayer to be most generous to the Ministries Appeal, which brings the love <strong>of</strong> Christ to so many<br />
through our Diocesan ministries and services.<br />
As we mark these Great Fifty Days <strong>of</strong> Easter and the celebration <strong>of</strong> the Sacraments <strong>of</strong> Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy<br />
Eucharist, and as we celebrate this "Year <strong>of</strong> the Eucharist" in our Diocese <strong>of</strong> Joliet, may you be blessed abundantly in the grace <strong>of</strong><br />
the Risen Christ and his Holy Spirit.<br />
+Peace<br />

Diocese <strong>of</strong> Joliet<br />
Sign-Up Weekend, April 24/25<br />

Bishop J. Peter Sartain asking for a pledge to help us in calming<br />
fears and taking our brothers and sisters safely to shore. Please<br />

Mission <strong>St</strong>atement<br />
We the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Pius</strong> X Church, a faith community in the Roman Catholic Diocese <strong>of</strong> Joliet, Illinois, accept the challenge to<br />
restore all things in Christ through the use <strong>of</strong> our gifts and ministry. Guided by the Father, nourished by the Eucharist, and inspired<br />
by the Holy Spirit we embrace all through our commitment to worship, education, service, and stewardship.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY THE GREAT ADVENTURE CONTINUES . . .<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. Vincent de Paul Society is very<br />
grateful for the support we have received<br />
from our fellow parishioners, and especially<br />
for your generosity during the Lenten daily<br />
<strong>of</strong>ferings and the recent <strong>St</strong>. Joseph’s Table.<br />
However, we are becoming increasingly<br />
concerned that your gifts might not be utilized in ways we had<br />
envisioned. Our concern is that there may be members <strong>of</strong> our<br />
parish family who are in need, and their needs are not being<br />
met.<br />
In these days <strong>of</strong> downsizing, outsourcing, and<br />
restructuring, we know these actions have serious consequences<br />
for families. It is not reasonable to expect that all our parish<br />
family has escaped these adversities. However, we have not<br />
received the requests for assistance we might have expected.<br />
Therefore, we are asking that if you have any knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />
members <strong>of</strong> our parish family who might be in need, please<br />
contact our parish <strong>of</strong>fice, anonymously, if you prefer, and that<br />
information will be passed along to us. Obviously, all such<br />
communications, and our subsequent actions, are held in<br />
strictest confidence.<br />
It would be very unfortunate if families <strong>of</strong> our parish, who<br />
may be in need, did not benefit from your generous actions,<br />
merely because we were unaware <strong>of</strong> their needs.<br />

Join Bishop Sartain as he reminds us that as Jesus gives<br />
Himself to us in the Eucharist to be our spiritual nourishment,<br />
He also draws us into a deeper relationship with Him and with<br />
all the members <strong>of</strong> His mystical body, the Church.<br />

JESUS CHRIST CREW NEWS<br />
First - thanks to all who have turned in their flower orders<br />
which will help us fund our trip to Spain in 2011. If you still<br />
want to turn in a flower order, the absolute LAST day you can<br />
turn it in is Monday, April 19th to the parish <strong>of</strong>fice. Thanks to<br />
everyone who helped us with this!!<br />
Secondly, we had a BLAST at our last meeting. We began<br />
with a rousing game <strong>of</strong> noodle hockey - yeah, it was FUN!!<br />
Then it was <strong>of</strong>f to the<br />
kitchen to bake some<br />
homemade individual<br />
pizzas!! They were<br />
yummy - but we're never<br />
letting Gina use the stove<br />
again!!!<br />
Our night finished <strong>of</strong>f<br />
talking about discipleship<br />
- finding where Jesus<br />
shows us how to be<br />
disciples in the Gospels -<br />
learning about the Year <strong>of</strong><br />
the Eucharist - praying<br />
together - and finishing<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the night being<br />
disciples by praying<br />
together in front <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Blessed Sacrament! We now know that WE are His disciples<br />
and will pray and spread His news everywhere we go!!<br />
