EASTER SEQUENCE Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer sacrifice and praise. The sheep are ransomed by the Lamb; And Christ, the undefiled, Hath sinners to his Father reconciled. Death with life contended: combat strangely ended! Life’s own Champion, slain, yet lives to reign. Tell us, Mary: say what thou didst see upon the way. The tomb the living did enclose; I saw Christ’s glory as he rose! The angels there attesting; Shroud with grave-clothes resting. Christ, my hope, has risen: he goes before you into Galilee. That Christ is truly risen from the dead we know. Victorious king, thy mercy show!

Special thanks to Fr Bronek for the Anointing Mass and to the students from La Salle’s College Touching Hearts Program, who also came along and helped out– they did a great job. THE WORD AMONG US The WORD Among Us is a digest-size size publication referencing the Scriptures for the Mass of the day, with substantive, spiritual reflections upon one of those Scriptures, and a short prayer. We now have copies of the Easter edition. The cost of a booklet is $5. Thoughts of Fr Francis Jordan SD S Thank you to everyone who came along to our planning afternoon last week. A calendar of events will be out soon. Wishing you all a Very Happy and Blessed Easter Happy Birthday in April to Pat 1/4, Breannah 10/4, Yvonne 24/4 and Flavia 28/4 As long as the Queen of DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY Next Sunday 12th April at 3.00pm the Novena of the Divine Mercy which has been prayed since Good Friday will conclude with praying the Chaplet, Adoration and Benediction. All are invited to join us even if you haven’t been praying the Novena, it is still a special way to spend an hour on a Sunday. The image of Jesus, The Divine Mercy, is to have a special place of honour on the Feast of Mercy, a visual reminder of all that Jesus did for us through His Passion, Death, and Resurrection … and a reminder, too, of what He asks of us in return to trust Him and be merciful to others: "I want the image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it". At the request of her spiritual director, Saint Faustina asked the Lord about the meaning of the rays in the image. She heard these words in reply: "The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross ... Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him" JESUS I TRUST IN YOU WORLD YOUTH DAY 2016 A meeting will be held on Sunday 19th April after the 6pm Mass, for all those interested in attending WYD 2016.

And yet it has increasingly become a feature of our Easter celebrations. More often than not, Easter gifts take the form of chocolate, and especially of chocolate eggs. The connection between Easter and the giving of eggs (chocolate or otherwise) is quite obvious: eggs are a symbol of new life and it is precisely new life which we commemorate through our celebration of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus himself offers us an extraordinary gift. Each time we celebrate the Eucharist we unite ourselves with the prayer of the celebrant who, just before Holy Communion, prays: “Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles, “Peace I leave you; my peace I give to you”.” This promise and this gift, offered to the Lord’s first disciples, continues to be offered to all of us today. It is the outpouring of God’s love released through the resurrection of Jesus to new life. It is the gift of his Spirit. May this Easter be a time when the new life of Jesus fills each one of us with hope, with joy, and with the special gift of his peace.
