WH A T A RE T HE SCRT INIES A ND WH Y ARE TH EY CELBRA TED?
The scrutinies, which are solemnly celebrated on Sundays, are rites for self-searching and
repentance and have above all a spiritual purpose. The scrutinies are meant to uncover,
then heal all that is weak, defective, or sinful in the hearts of the elect (those individuals
receiving the sacrament of Baptism at the Easter Vigil); to bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and
good. The scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them
against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ. These rites should complete the conversion of the elect and
deepen their resolve to hold fast to Christ and to carry out their decision to love God above all.
In order to inspire the elect a desire for purification and redemption by Christ, three scrutinies are celebrated. Their
spirit is filled with Christ the Redeemer, who in the living water (gospel of the Samaritan woman in the first scrutiny),
the light of the world (gospel of the man born blind in the second scrutiny), the resurrection and the life (gospel of
Lazarus in the third scrutiny). From the first to the final scrutiny the elect should progress in their perception of sin
and their desire for salvation.

Scripture
LESSON
JOHN
20:1-9
THE RESURRECTION OF
JESUS
In John’s account of the first Easter
morning, Mary Magdalene
discovered the stone had been
rolled away from the tomb, spoke
with the angels, and raced back to
the apostles and told them what
she knew. Electrified by the news,
John and Peter ran to the tomb.
John was younger and arrived first,
but he waited for Peter, the head of
the apostles. When they entered
the tomb, John described the
arrangements of the cloths in
which Jesus was buried. Instantly,
John “saw and believed.” Perhaps
something in the way the cloths
were folded and arranged may
have seemed familiar, spoken of
Jesus’ habits and convinced John
that Jesus was alive again. The
Resurrection proved that Jesus was
who he said he was. Jesus rose from
the dead so we would know that
our faith in him is justified.

Beginning today CDs are for sale of our brand new virtual concert
experience, Never Thirst Again. In Never Thirst Again, the life-changing
story of Jesus' death and resurrection is told from the unique perspective
of the Samaritan woman at the well as she is transformed by the sacrificial
love of Christ in this passionate new work featuring stunning choral
arrangements performed by the St. Kieran Concert Choir for this reflective
recording. The goal of this production is to help you reflect on your journey
through Holy Week and Easter through a different point of view. The music
used in the virtual concert will also be used throughout Holy Week and
Easter allowing you to listen and reflect with us in the Liturgies, but also
experience the entire journey on your own.
CDs are available today along with a preorder for the DVD, which will be
available soon, both are priced at $5 each.

All You Can Eat
Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
In today’s processional Gospel from St. Luke, Jesus asks two
of his disciples to go into the village and bring him a
tethered colt on which he will triumphantly enter Jerusalem.
These disciples faithfully carry out his request without
questions. Christ’s triumph soon changes to the agony of
betrayal, scourging and death described in St. Luke’s Passion.
Do we, as Christian stewards, respond like the faithful
disciples when Christ asks us to share our time, our skills and
our financial resources with our parish—the greater
Church—and our neighbors in need?

Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned!
"Our Lord is hidden there, waiting for us to come and
visit him and ask him for what we want. He is there, in
the Sacrament of his love, sighing and interceding
unceasingly for sinners before God his Father. He is
there to console us ... See how good he is! He adapts
himself to our weakness... In heaven where we shall be
triumphant and glorious, we shall see him in all his glory;
if he had appeared before us now in glory, we should not
have dared to approach him; but he hides himself like
one in prison, saying to us, 'You do not see me, but that
does not matter; ask me for all you want, and I will grant
it to you.'"
(St. John Vianney)
Call PAT 586-739-9694 or BEV 586-781-3329 to commit

Sacrament. It will be the best thing you did for yourself,

hy is it important to be registered in a parish?
Registration is the official way we join a parish community. Many people think that because they attend a particular parish
they automatically belong. At times young adults who have moved away for years think they are still registered under their
parents. But membership requires signing up - formally enrolling yourself in a parish. Registration is a commitment to a community, a
way to be included in the religious, social and ministerial activities of your parish. Your registration affects the parish in many ways.
Census numbers can determine how many priests are assigned to a church, what benefits and obligations the community has to the
diocese, and how Masses and programs are planned and scheduled. Registration shows you belong! It is also necessary for certain
benefits, like scheduling sacraments, obtaining sponsor certificates, and getting donation statements for tax purposes. Most
importantly, it lets the parish count on you, to call on you to assist in its mission. Registering in your parish is a statement of faith and
confidence in the life and work of your parish.
