March 27, 2016 - Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection
“This is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm
118:24 Jesus, nailed to the cross, crucified, buried in a tomb, is risen from the
dead! This is our faith, our hope, our belief which takes us to eternity and
eternal life. Alleluia! Alleluia!
A big welcome goes out on this glorious and
magnificent Easter Sunday to our dear
parish family and devoted parishioners,
seasonal friends and residents, guests of all
faiths, and the many other visitors and
vacationers who are here today. We thank
you for coming to worship with us here at St. Luke the Evangelist in Palm
Harbor. Perhaps you are visiting for a short time + or are returning to the
practice of your Catholic faith + or are here to find out more about Catholicism
+ looking for a parish home + whatever the reason we are thrilled you have
joined us today. Please consider this your personal invitation to join our parish
family in all activities of faith, worship, fellowship and community. For this
week’s activities and events, see page six, as well as news flashes and articles
placed throughout these pages.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercy endures forever.” Psalm
118:1 In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, there are some who have been away from
the Church and/or away from the Sacraments. To those in this circumstance, take this opportunity to come
back to your faith. Perhaps it isn’t you, but someone near and dear to you who may be in this circumstance.
If so, encourage your loved one to do the same. “Jesus is waiting for us and wants to heal our hearts of all
that tears us down. He is the God who has a name: Mercy.” – Pope Francis. In this special Jubilee Year of
Mercy, an examination of conscience followed by Confession and Reconciliation, provides many blessings
and will do wondrous, amazing works for your spiritual life and eve day living. Much good is received, among
them sanctifying grace; guilt will be lifted and removed. Healing will take place in an amazing way. Know that
we are here for you. All are welcomed with wide open arms filled with Christ’s love.
On this Easter Sunday, when you leave today, take aside some time to
meditate on God who has fulfilled all His promises. Let us each be
encouraged to find signs of new life in our spiritual lives + and in the
lives of others around us.
Thank you each and every one for coming to our parish to worship today
to celebrate the holiest day of the year. As we are joined with our Risen
Lord, let us be renewed and inspired to live out and proclaim the Good
News of Christ as we work in unity with all people of God, for it is in this
unity that we experience the presence of the Risen Christ.
Wishing you a week filled with God, His love and mercy. In this season,
strive to grow closer to God; strive to be more like Jesus; strive to live
out your faith in all circumstances. God bless you.
~ Father Paul

EXPERIENCE LOVE & ACCEPTANCE BY COMING HOME
TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
T
here’s an old saying that goes, “Once a Catholic, always
a Catholic.” Maybe you have been away from the
Church for a little while or for quite some time, but now you
feel a tug at your heart calling you back to the Catholic
Church. Listen to that tug. It’s your Heavenly Father
reaching his arms out to you, the Holy Spirit whispering in
your ear, hoping to draw you home.
We hope you accept this as your invitation to rediscover
the truth, wonder and mystery of the Catholic faith. As your
brothers and sisters in our worldwide Catholic family, we want you back. We’ve missed you, and our Church is not the
same without you.
Regardless of why you left or got out of the habit of going to Mass, you can always come home and return to the
practice of the sacraments and the fullness of relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church he founded. We are
Catholic. Welcome home.

Jesus is Coming Again – Part 2
Two things are clear in the Bible’s references to Jesus
return:
1. No one will know when, where, or how Jesus will
return. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus said “But of that day
and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven,
nor the Son, but the Father alone.” Ever since then,
some people have been dedicated to figuring out
when, where, and how Jesus would return.
2. In the Revelation to John 19:11-16, we read that
Jesus’ second coming will not resemble his first.
“Then I saw the heavens opened, and there was a
white horse; its rider was (called) ‘Faithfull and
True’. He judges and wages war in righteous. His
eyes were (like) a fiery flame, and on his head were
many diadems. He had a name inscribed that no one
knows except himself. He wore a cloak that had been
dipped in blood, and his name was called the Word of
God. The armies of heaven followed him mounted on
white horses and wearing clean white linen. Out of
his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations.
He will rule them with an iron rod, and he himself
will tread out in the wine press the wine of the fury
and wrath of God the almighty. He has a name
written on his cloak and on his thigh, King of kings
and Lord of lords.”
Thus, the once unimposing baby will return as an allpowerful conquering King who strikes fear into the
hearts of his enemies.
