Pastor’s Desk

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today, Sunday, I have been delegated by our Regional Bishop John W. Flesey to confirm eighteen adults who have been preparing for the last year as part of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults), at the 10:30am and 12:30pm Masses. Please pray that they may continue to put into practice the gifts of the Holy Spirit which they will more fully receive!

+++

Due to the Pastoral Visit of Cardinal Tobin on May 1st at St. Peter’s in River Edge, we will not have evening confessions and Mass here on Monday, May 1st. For more information, please see page 5 of today’s bulletin.

+++

Our pledge total for our Archdiocesan Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal is now at $73,067.00 from 120 parishioners or priests, which is over 70% of our parish goal of $103,809.00. Every parish family is asked to make a pledge which will benefit both our parish and our archdiocese. Letters directly from the Archdiocese should have arrived at your home by now, and you can send your pledge directly back to them, or you can also use the forms available in church, which can either be returned to the rectory or mailed directly to the Archdiocese. Won’t you help our parish with this year’s Appeal?

Rev. Msgr. Richard J. Arnhols, Pastor

Reflection on Today’s Readings

How could God have abandoned Jesus, “a prophet mighty in deed and word,” to a gruesome death on the cross? This must have been the perplexing question that Cleopas and the other disciple kept posing as they spoke with their mysterious new friend on the road to Emmaus. Like all the other disciples, these two men simply could not accept on its own the account of the women who visited the empty tomb. Their faith was so shattered that they were “slow of heart to believe” that even Jesus could rise from the dead. As with everyone who comes to faith, they needed a work of the Spirit to reveal the Paschal truth and to allow it to take root within them. They could not come to this faith by their own will or effort or intellect alone. As the stranger explained the scriptures to them, their hearts began to burn with faith, and they were moved to open their hearts once more. Through the word of God, the Spirit moved them to accept the good news of the resurrection, and so they pressed their friend to stay with them. Significantly, the point of ultimate recognition came when “their eyes were opened” as Jesus blessed and broke the bread. Luke’s original readers would have readily grasped the association: The disciples recognized Christ in the scriptures and knew His presence most fully through the Eucharist. It was precisely the bodily resurrection of Christ—seen by witnesses and revealed in their hearts—which erased the scandal of the crucifixion for the early church. As Peter’s first sermon affirmed: “God raised [Jesus] up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.” Jesus’ resurrection gave meaning to the cross, for it showed that He was no mere man, but was God’s sacrificial lamb, “without blemish or spot...destined before the foundation of the world.” We can cling to these great truths as our anchor in an age filled with doubt. Our confidence rests secure, because our “faith and hope are in God” who intervened in human history. Let us be quick to embrace the risen Savior, seeking Him in word and sacrament, and inviting Him to remain with us, just as the two disciples did so long ago on the way to Emmaus. As we do, the truth of Jesus risen and alive will burn in our hearts!

Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!

“Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the road, while He opened to us the scriptures?” Luke 24: 32

How often do we take the time to discern what Jesus wants from us? Are our prayers always petitions, asking Jesus to do things for us? If so, that’s a one-sided relationship. Living our faith means developing a personal relationship with Jesus. Just like any friendship, there is give and take, each side listening to each other and helping each other out. Take time in silence to listen to what Jesus is asking of you.
