FULFILLMENT
It is interesting that during the Easter season, when we do not hear a reading from the Old Testament, it becomes so important. This is particularly true today.
Peter’s speech begins with a prayer formula familiar to Jews: “The God of Abraham . . .” (Acts 3:13). It likewise contains the potent phrases “Holy and Righteous One” and “mouth of all the proph- ets” (3:14, 18). Peter was stating in no uncertain terms that the law, psalms, and prophets had been fulfilled in Christ. This is reinforced by Jesus himself in the Gospel passage, when he states that every- thing in the scriptures had to be fulfilled. Above all, Jesus and Peter both emphasize that we are witness- es to all of this, and are sent forth to bear witness to it in the world. The Latin Missa, from which our word
“Mass” comes, means “sent” (as in “mission”). As we leave Mass today, let us remember to be witnesses to all that has been fulfilled in the risen Christ.

Today’s Readings
First Reading — With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:32-35).
Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting (Psalm 118).
Second Reading — The victory that conquers the world is our faith (1 John 5:1-6).
Gospel — Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed (John 20:19-31).
FEAST OF FAITH The Second Reading
The Liturgy of the Word generally follows a con- sistent pattern of three readings and a psalm. The second reading is always taken from one of the New Testament epistles or the book of Revelation, and generally is not intentionally aligned with either the Gospel or the first reading.
Where would we be without these letters in which great saints and apostles like Paul, Peter, James, and John share their wisdom and pastoral good sense with the early Christian communities? It is in these letters that we learn what it means to be church: to live with each other, in the world yet not of the world, in these days after the Lord’s resurrection.
Each New Testament letter was written by a particu- lar leader for a particular community at a particular time. We are reminded of this at the beginning of the proclamation—“A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians,” or the Corinthians, or the Thessalonians. At the same time, through the liturgy, these letters are written to us, here, today.
They speak to the realities of Christian living no matter where—or when—we live. They are truly
“the word of the Lord” for us.

We are in need of a volunteer to wash the purificators used during Mass. A volunteer would be needed the first week of each month. Please contact the office if you would like to help us in this way.

Prayer for St. George (Feast Day– April 23)St. George,
Heroic Catholic soldier and defender of your Faith, you dared to criticize a tyrannical Emperor and were subjected to horrible torture. You could have occupied a high military position but you preferred to die for your Lord.
Obtain for us the great grace of heroic Christian courage that should mark soldiers of Christ. Amen
There are several stories about George fighting dragons, but in the Western ver- sion, a dragon or crocodile made its nest at a spring that provided water to Silene, believed to be modern-day Lcyrene in Libya.
The people were unable to collect water and so attempted to remove the dragon from its nest on several occasions. It would temporarily leave its nest when they offered it a sheep each day, until the sheep disappeared and the people were distraught.
This was when they decided that a maid- en would be just as effective as sending a sheep. The townspeople chose the vic- tim by drawing straws. This continued un- til one day the princess' straw was drawn.
The monarch begged for her to be
spared but the people would not have it.
She was offered to the dragon, but before she could be devoured, George appeared. He faced the dragon, protected himself with the sign of the Cross, and slayed the dragon.
After saving the town, the citizens abandoned their paganism and were all converted to Christianity.
