Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
Peter and John have cured a man who had been crippled and their good deed is not what gets them thrown into prison. They are living in the days of The Spirit. Their faith and actions which flow from that faith threaten the religious stability of the elders and leaders of the people. They want to know how they did this curing. Peter (now remember, Peter is speaking so boldly while under arrest) tells them exactly what they do not want to hear. They had raised the man to a walking condition through the power of the name of Jesus. Peter pushes his point a little farther. He reminds them all that Jesus was the one whom they, the leaders, had crucified. So the man who was literally raised, was healed in the name of Jesus, who was physically raised. Peter concludes his offensive defense by telling them that Jesus, the stone they threw away, has returned as the foundation of the structure through which salvation is extended to the whole world.

We will be hearing these next few Sunday's from John’s Gospel concerning God's love for us and our response. Easter is more than a day: It has implications. It extends life into time. Jesus lays down His life in response to his Father and today's Gospel states it all quite clearly.

Lay Ministry Opportunity
Save the Date - Sunday, May 19, 2024, 3:00 – 4:30 in the Church
|
|
We are expanding and enriching our lay ministries of lectors, eucharistic ministers and altar servers. These are vital roles at Holy Name, and we need all who have served in the past, are currently serving and most importantly wish to serve to save this date and attend this meeting.
|
It will be an opportunity to interact with one another and establish and practice a set of consistent and liturgically sound routines and practices so that we can all confidently and appropriately carry out these roles. What a beautiful way to engage or re-engage in parish life and to be part of the spiritual growth and enrichment of our parish.
|
|
Please consider this important work, save the date on your calendar, and tap a friend to join you.
