EASTER ENERGY
On Easter morning when the disciples saw the evidence of the
Resurrection, they did not at first grasp it. John reports that “they did not yet
understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.” We, on the
other hand, have both scripture and church tradition to teach us. Jesus
Christ’s resurrection is at the core of our Christian faith.
All of today’s readings tell us how compelling this event was for the first
Christians. There is great energy in all the readings. Peter preaches with
authority and conviction. Paul calls for Christians to change their lives. In
the Gospel reading we see Peter and John in a footrace to reach Jesus’
tomb and see with their own eyes the evidence that they still could not
understand or completely believe.
How can some of this Easter energy be restored to us today? Do we let
the astonishing news of the Resurrection touch us now? Does it call us to
action? To deeper faith? To conversion? What new life will be reborn in us
and our parish community this Easter morning?

A Word from Fr. Ray
Happy Easter to all!
This wonderful season of the Church requires a
tremendous amount of participation from a pool of many
ministries, staff, and volunteers. It would be indecent to not
to offer gratitude for many long hours of preparation for the
celebrations of the Triduum (The Three Days).
I know sometimes it is difficult to pick and choose those
that give CTK 100% of their best towards our Liturgies, but
it takes a whole village to come together in order to
celebrate the quality of worship we have here at Christ the
King.
I would like to acknowledge first the people that
constantly work in the shadows and behind the
scenes. Thank you Mark Medina (Maintenance) for
coordinating the many changes from one season to
another, and always being available to aid our staff and
volunteers in preparing our worship space and social
gathering spaces in and out of the seasons of the Church.
I would like to acknowledge our Hospitality Ministry for
their sweet and tender care of our attendees to all our
services, and for their dedication and love of our Parish. I
thank them especially for their consistent attention to our
visitors and for making them feel welcomed and making a
difference in many people’s lives by simply smiling at them
and saying hello.
I would like to thank Deacon Jacob for being the best
Assistant Administrator a Pastor could have. He has truly
been a gift from God to our Parish, and has been nothing
less than a huge support to me and to the rest of the staff
here at CTK.
I would also like to acknowledge our Religious Education
Department for Beth Thompson, Jason Ealy, and Robyn
Runco for endlessly coordinating the many needs of the
education of our children and adults. I thank them for the
many tasks in preparation of the Sacraments and most of
all for the dedication to their work and the support of each
other in their endeavors to keep a high end level and
quality Religious Education Department.
I would like to thank our Liturgy Ministry for the countless
hours and devotion to our worship, and for the support
volunteers that run our sound and lights under the direction
of Bob LaPorte and his assistants. How can I possibly
even begin to thank our wonderful musicians that always
give us the best of their skills and awesome Liturgical
experiences?
To all of you that contribute your time, talent and
treasure….from the bottom of my heart….thank you.
With much love
. . Fr. Ray

Letter of Appreciation to our Church (from Florida)
“In 2011, you helped my family when I’d fallen down and
became ill. At the time, I’d been laid off, evicted, divorced
and attempting to leave LV to go to Florida, when I fell.
As new children of Christ, my daughters and I were
terrified. You and the church were there for us, showing
us how much God cared and loved us.
You were our human angel, and we will never forget
your kindness and graciousness. With gratitude, A.M.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Over the centuries, the Church has
demonstrated a wonderful ability to adopt a
culture’s favorite symbols and customs and
assign them new meaning. Easter eggs have a
very ancient pedigree: nature’s perfect
package, emblem of new life, dyed and
decorated and given as gifts in ancient Egypt,
Rome, China, and Persia. Just as the long hard
winter is over, the egg bursts with promise of
life and nourishment. Long ago, Christians
came to see the egg not as a symbol of spring’s
rebirth, but of ours, and as a sign of Christ’s
tomb. A Polish legend says that Mary, in
compassion for the soldiers at the cross, gave
them eggs, but that her tears stained their
shells with brilliant color. Legends have their
origin in tales told around a hearth, but they
often contain a profound truth. The idea of
Mary, the first Christian, engaged in a merciful
act of forgiveness and tenderness even in the
shadow of the cross, describes the age-old
wish that Christ “Easter in us.”

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Hace casi dos mil años María Magdalena fue
muy de mañana al sepulcro de Jesús. Fue a
rezar como muchos hacemos ante la tumba de
un ser amado. Esa mañana ella se convertiría en
apóstol de los apóstoles, primera testigo de
Jesús resucitado de entre los muertos. Siglos
después el testimonio de la Magdalena sigue
siendo importante en la historia cristiana.
Durante estos días en Anguiano, España,
hombres y jóvenes de las viejas familias de la
zona bailan y caminan con una pequeña imagen
de la Magdalena. Se visten con camisas y
faldones largos de muchos colores, mostrando la
belleza de la diversidad hispana. Ellos bailan en
honor de esa santa mujer de Magdala y lo hacen
sobre andas de casi un metro de altura. Ellos
toman la imagen desde la iglesia de su pueblo
en las montañas en el norte del país y la llevan
bailando por las calles empedradas bajando al
santuario que han preparado para ella. Todo el
pueblo reza y festeja en honor de la santa que
fue buscando un difunto y se encontró con el
Señor de la vida eterna.

Reflecting on God’s Word
I can remember as a child being afraid of the
dark. Not all the time . . . just usually after seeing a
horror movie. For nights after, I would peer into the
darkness, trying to make sure there was nothing
out there. Even as an adult there have been times
when I walked through a dark place feeling an
uneasiness that was hard to shake.
Easter in the Gospel of John begins in the dark.
Night still holds the earth in its embrace. Darkness
also gripped the hearts of Jesus’ followers . . . the
darkness of grief, sorrow, and hopelessness.
Jesus of Nazareth . . . who had preached in a way
no one else ever had, who had worked deeds of
great power by curing the sick, healing lepers,
giving sight to the blind, lifting up the lame, and
who had even called the dead back to life . . . had
been crucified and laid in the tomb. A large stone
had been rolled in front of the entrance, death’s
final punctuation mark.
Only John tells us there was a garden where he
was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in
which no one had ever been laid. From this garden
God decided to begin creation anew, so while it
was still dark God breathed once again into a
human figure, and the new Adam was raised up
and would never die.
Not all darkness is to be feared. Sometimes it
may even be necessary, summoning God to create
once again, dispelling the shadow of death and
despair that can settle over the human heart.
—James A. Wallace, C.SS.R.

Liturgy Corner
“Today, today, this is the
day that God has made.
Today, today, let us rejoice
and be glad today!”
(Ps. 118 – R. Cooney)
Here we are at the end of our Lenten
journey for 2013, at the empty tomb of
the RESURRECTION. We joyfully sing
out with the psalmist the words of Psalm
118 as this truly is the day of our longing
and hoping.
We pray that your Lenten experience
has borne fruit in your spiritual life. If you
are just that much more loving, forgiving,
patient, living more in hope than fear, etc.
then our liturgy and prayer together has
been blessed. For this we thank God.
As we look forward to the coming
weeks of the Easter season, leading up
to Pentecost, may the mystery of Christ’s
resurrection unfold in your life. May you
be opened to the unexpected
opportunities for growth and give yourself
over to the Spirit working in your lives.
All of us within our Liturgy Department
along with the staff and the Liturgy
Committee wish you a HAPPY
BLESSED EASTER!

Catechesis of the
Good Shepherd News
For young adults
married/single, kids/no kids
We have studied the geography of
Israel, the Synthesis of the Mass and
are now aware of the parables and the
miracles of Jesus – it is time to study
the Passion Narratives.
We have started to look into the Bible
and taken the walk of Jesus as he
came from the desert to the city of
Jerusalem and began to prepare for
the Passover Meal. While we were in
class someone asked “why do they
celebrate this Passover Meal and
when did it start?” We delved into the
story and came to the part of scripture
that tells of the last plague where the
Jewish people slaughtered the lamb
and put the blood on the doorposts.
Earlier in the year we had made the
discovery that we are the sheep that
the Good Shepherd leads to the altar.
With the innocence of the child the
question was brought forward – “If
we are the sheep why would that
blood be put on the door posts?”
Intriguing…
After much discussion the children
decided at that moment of the
Passover “could we have all been
saved?” Hmmm – we just sat in
amazement…
Welcome to atrium 101. Please have
your child join us next year . . . or
think about being an assistant. The
time for registration will be coming
sooner than we know!
