Did you know that the Cathedral Flower
Guild decorates the Hyland Center gym,
Kenny Hall and the Cathedral for the
Easter Masses? Most parishioners don’t
get to see all the Easter decorations
because they see only the decorations in
the location where they attend Easter
Mass.
For example, last year approximately 2,100 people attended the three
Easter Masses in the Hyland Center,
700 in the three Masses held in Kenny
Hall, and 5,400 in the nine Masses
held in the Cathedral. That’s a total of
8,200 people who attended our Easter
Masses in 2010. Your donations to the
Easter Flowers provide the needed
Hyland Center
funds to have Easter flowers in all three
of our spaces where Easter Mass is
celebrated.
If you would like to donate to the Easter
Flowers while remembering a friend or
loved one, simply fill out the “Donate to
the Easter Flowers” card (available in the
pew or at the front desk); enclose cash or
Kenny Hall
check (made payable to Christ the King
Easter Flowers); and drop the purple “Easter Flowers” envelope in the
offertory basket, mail, or return it to the front desk. Parishioners may
also elect to donate electronically at www.cathedralofchristtheking.org.
Donations must be received by Monday, April 11 for the names to
appear in the Easter Sunday Bulletin.
Stations of the Cross
Stations of the Cross will be prayed each Friday during Lent at 7 pm in the
Cathedral. Please join us.

How shall I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?” Psalm 116
The blind man was willing to let Jesus minister to him and willingly did all Jesus
asked of him. The Pharisees were more resistant to his message, spending their time
and energy to disprove the miracle. Which am I more like, the man born blind or
the Pharisees?

Farewell to Father Neil Dhabliwala
With the help of every student at Christ the King School, a touching farewell was
given to Father Neil Dhabliwala at his last school Mass on March 18. Students
gave praise to all of the wonderful support, participation and love that Father Neil
has given Christ the King School over the past three years.
The highlight of the Mass
was a very special duet sung
by 4th grade student Sydney
Buchanan and 5th grade
student Marcus Danckert.
Together they sang a
moving rendition of Andrea
Bocelli’s “The Prayer,” which brought many in attendance to
tears. It was an amazing and touching send off for Father Neil as he moves on to
his new role as Pastor of St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church in Dahlonega
and Campus Minister at North Georgia College, Dahlonega. Certainly, a Christ
the King School loss will be a St. Luke’s gain.
Christ the King School Gala
Please join us for a Night in the City on Saturday, April 30 under the "Big Top"

Gospel of Mark – Through April 17
Sunday mornings at 10:15 am in the Hyland Center Assembly Room
Come join us for a deep dive into a taut, compact, dynamic account of Jesus’ life:
the Gospel of Mark. Considered the first gospel, Mark is extremely important - it
portrays Jesus at his most human yet tantalizingly reveals his divine nature. Come
read the gospel as if you were an early Gentile (Mark's audience) hearing it for the
first time. Would you come to believe? Learn how Mark’s literary approach
dramatically unveils a great mystery: “Who is Jesus?” and “Why did he
come?”. Mark is not hard: you can read it in 90 minutes or less. We will meet on
Sundays from 10:15 - 11:45 am, now through April 17 in the Hyland Center
Assembly Room. There is no fee for this program. RSVP at
evangelization@ctking.com or 404-267-3671.

confidential.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
RESPECT LIFE MINISTRY
From Priests for Life
The Lenten season is marked by
the urgent call to repent. It is a call
to make a conscious and free
choice to turn away from sin,
which leads to death, and embrace
the Gospel, which leads to life. It
is, in fact, the full flowering of the
call Moses issued in Deuteronomy
30:19, “I have set before you life
and death...Choose life!”

Life Ministry, please contact
oconnorre@bellsouth.net.

LA LUZ QUE DISIPA LA CEGUERA
Si el tema litúrgico del domingo pasado fue la gracia salvadora de Jesús como agua
viva, en este domingo ésta es presentada como luz, que disipa tinieblas del error y
del mal.
La primera lectura nos cuenta cómo David es escogido como primer rey de Israel.
Es elegido por Samuel, Juez y Profeta de Dios. Iluminado por el Espíritu, Samuel es
capaz de tomar una buena decisión, sin dejarse engañar por falsas apariencias.
“Cristo será vuestra luz” es el mensaje de Pablo. Participamos en la luz de Cristo. Si
es así, no debemos seguir los caminos de las tinieblas, como antes, sino los caminos
de la luz, dejando atrás el pecado, el mal y el materialismo.
La Cuaresma es una invitación a luchar contra las formas de tinieblas que aún se
aferran a nosotros, a fin de prepararnos para el don pascual de la luz.
Para subrayar el tema de la salvación como luz, la Iglesia nos presenta hoy el
Evangelio de la curación del ciego de nacimiento. Esta curación es una parábola de
nuestra propia sanación espiritual de las cegueras del corazón, por obra de Jesús.
Algunas reflexiones sobre este Evangelio:
A) La ceguera de espíritu es también un mal: La incapacidad de “ver” los valores de
la fe; error y confusión con respecto al bien y al mal; incapacidad para hacer
discernimientos cruciales en nuestra vida.
B) Por lo tanto, Jesús también vino a salvarnos de la ceguera de espíritu. Por eso él
se muestra a menudo en los Evangelios como “Luz”: “Yo soy la luz del mundo”.
“El que me sigue no anda en tinieblas”, etc.
C) Como en el caso de la ceguera material, no podemos adquirir luz espiritual sin
ayuda exterior. No podemos producirnos luz a nosotros mismos. Y Jesús, luz y
fuente de luz, tiene muchos modos de salvarnos de la tiniebla espiritual.
D) Los caminos para superar las tinieblas del espíritu y para crecer en la luz de la
fe, del conocimiento propio, de la bondad y de la sabiduría, están también
señalados, como parábola, en el Evangelio. Antes de que el ex-ciego pudiera ver
a Jesús, sufre varias pruebas. Es humillado. Es causa de discusiones. Se
encuentra aislado. Al final, le implora a Jesús para que le deje ver al Hijo de
Dios.
Por lo tanto, como también lo muestra la experiencia, los caminos de la iluminación
espiritual son la oración, la humildad y el sufrimiento.
Este Evangelio es muy hermoso. Podemos sacar de él muchas enseñanzas, útiles
para el tiempo de Cuaresma, del detallado relato de la curación del ciego.
ENTRENAMIENTO PARA MONAGUILLOS
Invitamos a todos los niños y jóvenes que desean servir como
Monaguillos durante la Misas en español a un entrenamiento el
día sábado 9 de abril de 8:30 a 11:00 de la mañana. Este

FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
APRIL 3, 2011
ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS BIENES DE DIOS
El ciego estaba dispuesto a dejar que Jesús lo ayudara y de buena voluntad hizo todo lo
que Jesús le pidió. Los Fariseos se resistieron más a Su mensaje, desperdiciando su
tiempo y energía en refutar el milagro. ¿A quién me parezco más yo, al hombre que
nació ciego o a los Fariseos?

WELCOME FROM THE PASTOR AND
CATHEDRAL STAFF
Dear Friends in Christ,
On behalf of Archbishop Wilton Gregory, the Clergy and
staff, I welcome you to the Cathedral of Christ the King. I
hope and pray that you feel welcomed by our parish
community and that your spiritual and pastoral needs will
be met.
We are a very active parish with 4,300 families and over one
hundred ministries. We encourage our members to share
their gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Our mission statement is to “Know, Love and Serve as Jesus
Did”. This is the mission of each disciple of Christ and, if
you are new, I hope and pray that you will join us and be
part of the community of Christ the King. If you are passing
through or visiting the city of Atlanta, I hope you enjoy your
worship experience and please visit us again.
If you would like to know more about our parish, you can
visit our website at www.cathedralofchristtheking.org or
email us.
May we, this day and all the days of our lives, know, love
and serve as Jesus did.
Prayers and Blessings,
Father Frank McNamee, Pastor
