News
from the Church of the
Epiphany

|

Coming
Up Soon

Dear
Parishioners & Friends of
Epiphany,
Happy
Easter! "This is the day the Lord
has made!" Easter Sunday is the
greatest feast day of the entire
Church year.
We
share our joy in the risen
Christ's victory over death. And
we rejoice that one day we too
will rise with him. Alleluia! On
Easter morning
everything—the spring
weather, the flowers, birds and
butterflies, the people around us
in their finery, the beautiful
liturgy and music—everything
seems to bear witness that Jesus
Christ is risen today! Like the
eyewitness accounts in
today’s scriptures, the
glorious and joyful life all
around us helps us to believe the
good news of the Resurrection and
sing “Alleluia!” The
Paschal Mystery is the key to our
Christian faith: the dying and
rising of Jesus that is the
pattern of our life. In their
first steps on the road of faith,
the catechumens feel the cross of
glory traced over their eyes, on
their lips, across their
shoulders, on their ears, over
their heart, and on their feet.
The mystery is that even death
gives way to life for those who
are held in the embrace of
Jesus.
Easter
reminds us that we, too, have
been created to be resurrected.
The Good News is that we are
destined to share a new life, an
eternal like with Jesus, a life
free of pain, suffering and
death! Our prayer is that you
enjoy all the happiness this
Easter with your families and
friends. May the peace of the
Risen Lord Jesus fill your hearts
and homes!
HAPPY
EASTER!
Father
Eugene Tungol &

Announcements
Easter
Envelopes:
Most
Catholics look at Christmas and Easter as
occasions to make an offering to the
Parish larger than what is given on a
weekly basis. Everyone knows that times
are hard right now. The leadership at
Epiphany understands that but still faces
major financial obligations. We urge you
to be a good steward of the Parish that we
all so love. All gifts—big or
small— are equally appreciated and
very much needed. Thank you! Easter giving
envelopes are available at the entrances
of the church.

Reflections
GOSPEL:
John 20:1-9
Imagine the headlines that
might accompany this Easter gospel: "Woman
Finds Tomb Empty," "Race to Tomb Lost by
Peter," "Burial Shroud Mysteriously
Vacated." John's account makes it clear
that Mary Magdalene was the first witness
to the empty tomb. Like Peter and John,
she did not at first understand that Jesus
had risen from the dead. In an historical
time when women were not allowed to
testify in a court of law, Jesus chose a
woman to be the first witness to the empty
tomb and to the risen Lord himself. The
very next story in John's Gospel tells us
how Mary Magdalene meets the risen Jesus
and he sends her to announce to the
disciples, "I have seen the Lord" (John
20:18).
Whenever we hear this or any other
Easter gospel proclaimed, we can rejoice
that we too have been chosen as witnesses
that Jesus is the Son of God who has risen
from the dead.
1.) Why do you think Mary Magdalene,
Peter and John did not at first know what
to make of the empty tomb?
2.) If you had been among them, what
might you have seen as a "clue" inside the
tomb?
3.) How do you think John
interpreted this clue?
4.) Name one quality or skill you
can use to help others experience the joy
of following Jesus.
