Reflection
Called
To Be
"Jesus came and
Witnesses
stood in their
Of Mercy midst and said to
them, 'Peace be
To Others
Congratulations to
those who celebrated
Sacraments of
Initiation
at the
Easter Vigil
on March 26, 2016:
with you.'"
The disciples were paralyzed by fear. After
the Crucifixion, they had locked themselves
in a room and were keeping a low profile.
They didn't want to end up how Jesus had
ended up. But the Lord stepped right into
this paranoia and dispelled it in an instant:
"The disciples rejoiced when they saw the
Lord."
Although these first Christians were very
concerned about preserving their lives, the
fact is that living holed up in an attic wasn't
a life of much freedom or joy. Jesus wanted
his followers to have the fullness of life, but
this required trust in him and his promises.
As today's Gospel puts it, through the belief
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, "you
may have life in his name." When we come
to really accept who Jesus is, there is no
more need for a life of slavery to
fear--whatever that fear may be, whether it's
fear for our health; fear for our reputation;
fear for our comfort; or even fear that our
sins are too big for forgiveness.

Happy 50 days of Easter church fam ily!!!! I m ust
admit that to be a m em ber of such a vibrant
community that truly believes in the will of God is
truly a Blessing!!! I am so grateful for the bessings
that the good Lord has bestowed upon m e and our
church!!!
THANK YOU to everyone who assisted w ith the
liturgies for Holy W eek. The music - awe inspiring;
the homilies - intensely m otivational; the fellowship
and unity of our Church fam ily - truly
inspirational!!! It was definitely refreshing to see the
Spirit of God alive and present during our liturgies
and times of fellowship. W e are so BLESSED!!!
BIG THANKS to all who prayed for the success of and
who donated food as part of the Mass Mob who
visited Corpus Christi on March 5. Fifty-three bags
of food were collected for the food pantry. Special
thanks to Sheila Finch and the Parish Pastoral
Council for their leadership and coordination.
Also, I would like to THANK all of you who donated
shoes during our Lenten “Journey Towards Christ
Our Light.” I am ecstatic to report that we collected
a total of 54 pairs of shoes!!! Church fam ily, you
are awesom e!!! The shoes will be used to assist
families who are in need.
Finally, and on a som ber note, on Easter Sunday,
when we were all praising and glorifying the
resurrected Christ Jesus in our m idst, there was a
family which was experiencing heart-ache and pain.
A’Naiya Montgom ery, just 3 years young, was killed
in cold blood in a drive-by shooting at her fam ily’s
home on the west side of Detroit (near 6 m ile and
Telegraph).
Church fam ily, I know you stand in firm agreement
with m e when I say these senseless acts of violence,
theft, and m urder M UST STOP!!! Please join m e (and
other mem bers of our com m unity) in prayer that
these foolish acts cease in our neighborhoods and
communities.
As the chosen ones — and as
recognizers of the beautiful will of God — we m ust
engage ourselves in active prayer for the safety of all
people and we m ust also forgive those who act in
such a defiant m anner.
The loss of a child is
something that breaks all of our hearts.
A’Naiya’s m other is in need of spiritual healing, but
also is in need of help with funeral expenses. If you
would like to donate, you can go to any Michigan
Flagstar Bank and m ake a donation to the A’Naiya
Denise Montgomery Memorial Fund.
Church fam ily, I thank you for all that you do to
make Corpus Christi Parish vibrant and I thank

Sunday Reflection
(continued from page 1)
of Divine Mercy, we remember that God's
love is strong enough to conquer the
greatest of all human fears: death itself. This
confidence leads us to a renewed joy. As
Pope Francis wrote in his declaration of this,
the Year of Mercy, "Mercy is the force that
reawakens us to new life and instills in us the
courage to look to the future with hope." Once
we are firmly established in this hope, we
are called to be witnesses of mercy to others.
The Holy Father continues with a challenge
for all of us, "Jesus asks us also to forgive
and to give. To be instruments of mercy
because it was we who first received mercy
from God."

3 Telling The Easter Story
A visitor from another planet m ight conclude that our
Easter celebration is as m uch a festival of bunnies,
eggs, candy, and new clothes as it is a celebration of
Jesus’ resurrection. You m ay want to m ake Easter a
more joyful and faith-filled experience for your fam ily
by sharing the Easter story with your children.
There can be no resurrection without death, so the
Easter story includes the Passion and death of Jesus.
For younger children, be sensitive about discussing
violent details of Jesus’ death. You are the best judge
of what your child is ready to understand. You can
share more details when he or she is older.

Key points to share with children:
!
Jesus rose to show us that even though
people do bad things and sad things happen,
God’s love overcom es them .
!
Jesus’ resurrection means that we will also
rise after we die som eday, so we can be with
Jesus and everyone who died before us.
!
Jesus is still alive and we still encounter him
today (even though it can be hard to recognize
him ). Jesus left the Holy Spirit to be with us
in a special way.
Your child is likely to start asking questions (perhaps
many starting with the fam ous “why?”). Don’t be
intim idated. A good place to start is to ask your child
what he or she thinks. You m ay be surprised at how
much insight your child has!
Continue the conversation with them. If a question
comes up that you don’t know how to answer, tell
them it’s a great question and that you don’t know,
but you’ll find out the answer (you m ight choose to
ask a parish staff m ember the next Sunday).

3 Everyday Stewardship
After m y m other passed away, m y sister and father
had a falling out of sorts. W hen he moved to be
closer to m e, she told m e that she didn't ever want to
speak to him again, saying, "Even if he is on his
deathbed, do not call m e." My father was in his late
70s and the pain he would have felt if he knew her
wishes would have been too m uch to bear. Because
of this, I m ade a decision to not tell him. This also
put a strain on m y relationship with m y sister, caring
for the one person in this world she seemed to
despise the m ost. (continued on page 7)

Everyday Stewardship
(continued from page 4)
Of all the gifts God has given us, tim e and fam ily are
at the top of the list to be cherished. Also, both are
finite gifts. Our fam ily m em bers will not walk in this
world forever, and each day that slips away cannot
be restored. Still, we build up walls of fear, doubt,
resentment, anger, and pain, not allowing ourselves
to forgive and be good stewards of what we have
been given.
Please Pray For The Deceased

nephew of Veronica Cunningham
On Divine Mercy Sunday, in the Jubilee Year of
Mercy, God's m ercy is overflowing through all the
earth. There is no excuse for you and me to not be
reconciled with God and accept this profound
com passion. In turn, there is no excuse to not
extend that mercy and reconcile with those who have
hurt us.

I always believed I would have a renewed
