The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

First Reading: Acts 10: 34, 37-43

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

R: This is the day the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad.

1. Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,

for his love has no end.

Let the sons of Israel say:

‘His love has no end.’ R.

2. The Lord’s right hand has triumphed;

his right hand raised me up.

I shall not die, I shall live

and recount his deeds. R.

3. The stone which the builders rejected

has become the corner stone.

This is the work of the Lord,

a marvel in our eyes. R.

It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’

So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

Alleluia, alleluia!

Christ has become our paschal sacrifice;

let us feast with joy in the Lord.

Alleluia!

Since you have been brought back to true life with Christ, you must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed – and he is your life – you too will be re-vealed in all your glory with him.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Peter addressed Cornelius and his household: ‘You must have heard about the recent happenings in Judaea; about Jesus of Nazareth and how he began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil. Now I, and those with me, can witness to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judaea and in Jerusalem itself: and also to the fact that they killed him by hanging him on a tree, yet three days af-terwards God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen, not by the whole people but only by certain wit-nesses God had chosen beforehand. Now we are those witnesses – we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead – and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to tell them that God has appointed him to judge everyone, alive or dead. It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness: that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.’

Gospel: John 20: 1-9

GOSPEL REFLECTION by Fr Michael Tate

Women go to the tomb as dawn is breaking. The Power of Darkness which had Jesus unjustly sentenced, cruelly tortured and buried in the pitch blackness of the tomb, is conquered by the Son-Rise of all sun rises flooding our world and the whole of human history with Divine Light and Energy.

This is the heart of our faith as Catholic Christians, which we celebrate with bon-fire (good fire) in darkness at the Easter Vigil. From that earthly element we light the Easter candle and the Exsultet is sung: ‘Be glad, let earth be glad as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King.’

The resurrection itself is nowhere described in the gospels, but we do have appearances of the Risen Lord Jesus. The first ap-pearance was to a woman, Mary of Magdala. A title given to her by the early church was ‘Apostle to the Apostles’ because she was the bearer of the message which the male disciples initially did not believe. But eventually they too believed that Death had been done to death because the Son had risen.

Christ’s body was transfigured by the energy of Divine Love and we can, by grace, participate in that resurrection life of Our Lord. A glorious destiny awaits us, as indeed it awaits the whole cosmos as it is to be transformed by that resurrection life recreating the whole of creation.

We could take a moment to pray that we, along with all that matters, are graced with the life-giving energy of the Risen Son and that we may join Mary of Magdala in spreading the Good News of Christ’s victory over death. Alleluia!

Archbishop Costelloe’s 2017 Easter message

In his 2017 Easter Message, Perth Archbishop Tim-othy Costelloe SDB has asked the question if there is any reason to hope in the face of the dark reality of our own lives and the world in which we live. For us as Christians, says Archbishop Costelloe, the an-swer is found in the resurrection of Jesus…….

Sister Kathy Kettle’s fight to stand up for the vulnerable

Originally from Perth, and sister of Perth Priest Father Don Kettle, Sr Kathy says that even though the management aspect of her work is quite de-manding, it is fantastic to see the benefits and the difference made in people’s lives.

Having run for more than 30 years, the Mukuru Pro-motion Centre oversees five schools, a vocational training centre and a rehabilitation centre, having assisted across the board, tens of thousands of vic-tims of fire, flood and provided some 200,000 chil-dren, students and adults with an education, and treated some one million patients since its incep-tion…….

Happy Easter to everyone!

Easter is not only concerned with recalling the Resurrection of Jesus and its impact on the first disciples, but also with the meaning of this event for our own lives as well as family and friends.

The sign that we are truly sharing in the life of Jesus is that our lives and behavior undergo a con-stant development. We not only remember, we not only celebrate, we not only believe and do not only proclaim, but we do what we believe and what we proclaim.

Easter is a time to not be afraid, because there is a great reason to hope; Jesus Christ, our hope, has risen from the dead.

In St Peter’s Catholic community we are witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus Christ because we believe and we proclaim with our own Christian lives.

I wish you and your family a very happy Easter. May God bless you abundantly and keep you al-ways on the right path.

In the risen Christ,

Fr Jeronimo Flamenco

Parish priest.
