                                   Fr. Ken’s Corner
 Dear Brothers and Sisters of Saint Rose of Lima Parish,

 A number of months ago, as we neared the celebration of the birth of Jesus, I said that last year as much as
 ever, we “NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS, RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT.” After the rigors and semi-
 isolation, all of the sickness and death of the past 13 months, today as we celebrate the Wonder of the
 Resurrection of Jesus from the dead, EASTER SUNDAY, I continue that theme, “ALLELUIA! WE BRING
 YOU THE JOYOUSNESS OF EASTER – ALL THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR, WE BRING YOU A
 BLESSED EASTER TO CELEBRATE NEW HOPE AND CHEER.”

 For me, one of the most beautiful and moving sentences in scripture that brings hope and cheer is from
 Luke’s gospel, Chapter 24. We are told that on Easter morning at dawn, as the women are seeking to anoint
 the body of Jesus, they find the tomb empty. They are told by two men in brilliant clothes, “WHY SEEK
 THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD? THIS JESUS YOU SEEK IS NOT HERE; HE IS RISEN AS HE
 SAID.”

 Easter is that ultimate day of hope for the present and for the future. For without the Gift of Easter, we have
 no Christian faith. Paul tells the Christians of the city of Corinth, who seem to question Christ’s rising, that
 if Christ was not raised, then the dead are not raised and if the dead are not raised, then we are to be the
 most pitied of people for we are still dead in our sins.

 Yet this is why we gather with so special a joy – DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. It is the
 absolute victory of Jesus Christ who has conquered death and the darkness of the grave, and it is Jesus
 Christ who calls each of us to hear his voice on that last day when the “TRUMPET SHALL SOUND AND
 THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE.”

 On this Easter Sunday, each of us should think of those loved ones who have died, and we hope and pray are
 at rest. Like you, I have many happy memories of my grandparents, my dad, various aunts, uncles and
 cousins who have passed from life on this earth to be with God. We think of the hundreds upon hundreds of
 saints who have been recognized as enjoying the beatific vision – that is, seeing God face to face. Most of
 us have some kind of holy card reminding us of their goodness with their picture and a special prayer. Yet,
 with the exception of our Blessed Mother Mary who we celebrate on the Solemnity of the Assumption
 (August 15), none of those very holy men and women have been taken both Body and Soul into Our Lord’s
 heavenly kingdom. However, that is what Easter promises to us.

 And this is why our joyful celebration of Easter each year is so very important. We celebrate the bodily
 resurrection of Jesus from the dead – not just his spirit, not just his soul, but the entire person who is both
 Word of God and who walked the earth as one of us; who suffered, laughed and cried, who was crucified
 and died. Breaking the chains of death, Jesus’ body is now glorified in such a way that he can appear to the
 apostles in the Upper Room though the doors were locked, joyfully recognized as his very self. And he can
 also appear to his two disciples walking to Emmaus and remain unknown. Not earthly life, but heavenly
 life. That’s the first part of our joy and wonder. The second part which makes this Easter Day the first of
 all days is that Jesus promises that the same will also happen to us. Through the power of God who raised
 Jesus from the dead, we will also be given that same glorified and divinized body.

 So to each and every person who is here in church today, for all those who are also participating through the
 wonders of live-streaming, with all of the priests, deacons and staff of St. Rose, I say “Alleluia” and I wish
 you all a
                                        BLESSED EASTER AND
                     ALL THE JOYS OF THE 50 DAYS OF THE EASTER SEASON.

                                                         at 3:30 PM
     Jesus told St. Faustina that this Feast of Mercy would be a special day when “all the divine floodgates
     through which graces flow are opened.” Our Lord made a great promise to all those souls who would
     go to Confession and then receive Him in Holy Communion on the Feast of His Mercy, now called Divine
     Mercy Sunday.

              The Image of The Divine Mercy, which Our Lord requested to be solemnly
            blessed and venerated on this day, will be on display in our church. Pope John
           Paul II said that the image portrays the Risen Jesus Christ bringing Mercy to the
           whole world. Our Lord said “I want the image to be solemnly blessed on the first
           Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may
              know about it. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not
                perish.” Please take time to visit with this Image of The Divine Mercy.

                                           3:30 - 4:30 pm

                                            Jesus said to St. Faustina,

          "I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of
       mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. The two rays denote Blood
      and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the
       Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy
      when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the cross. …Happy is the one who will dwell in their
                              shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him.”

                                         Spiritual God-Parent Program
          In 1973, a Supreme Court decision was rendered legalizing abortion
throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy. This decision, Roe v. Wade, is the
reason why an estimated 62 million babies have lost their lives since then. This enormous number of
deaths can be overwhelming for us. Each of us wonders what one person can do to end this horrible
tragedy in our nation. WE CAN PRAY!
          We at St. Rose have begun our 21st Annual Spiritual God-Parent Program. Not all of us are
called to participate in marches or pro-life vigils, but all of us can make a commitment to a one-minute
prayer each day for nine months, for the intention of saving a baby who is in jeopardy of being aborted.
          This is an opportunity to involve your children. Teach them how precious life is. Select your
baby’s name and sponsor him or her as a family. Pledge cards are available in the church (located on the
altar rails) for you to sign, committing yourself and your family to pray for your named unborn baby for
the next nine months. You can also pledge by cutting out and completing the coupon below and
dropping it off in a designated basket found in the church (hold on to the Prayer portion of the Coupon
for your daily use). If you are unable to get to church, you can simply email the name of your sponsored
child to pveltre@optonline.net, and a pledge card will be created for you.
                           We will update your baby’s development each month in the bulletin and will
                           conclude in October with a Baby Shower in which all gifts will be donated to
                           Birthright. Your prayers will help a woman contemplating abortion to choose
                           LIFE over death. Please share the gift of LIFE given to us by our Heavenly Father
                           and join us in this commitment.

Retain and say this one-minute prayer each day
                               SPIRITUAL GOD-PARENT PRAYER
      Lord Jesus, today I lift up in prayer the life of __________________, an unborn child.
                     I ask you to protect and shield this child from all harm.
   Mary and Joseph, I ask your intercession for the parents of this child, that God would shower
               His love and mercy upon them and guide them at this difficult time.
                     May He send His Spirit to empower them to choose life.
  I am confident, Lord, that my prayer is heard today, and I trust that you are at work in this and
                      every circumstance. Thank you, Lord Jesus! … Amen

Return this portion to the designated basket in church or email your baby’s name to pveltre@optonline.net

I (we) promise to spiritually sponsor an unborn baby in danger of being aborted by daily reciting

                          2021 REMEMBERING LOVED ONES

  What is ‘Remembering Loved Ones?’ Many parishioners use Remembering Loved Ones to
  remember or honor a loved one in a special way. A monetary donation, ranging from $20 to
  $100, is used to cover the cost of various items used at our Liturgies for a period of one week,
  usually made in memory of a loved one, or to celebrate a special occasion. An
  acknowledgement of your offering appears in the bulletin, and an attractive certificate is
  prepared for you to give as a keepsake if requested.

                         ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR SPECIAL DATES

                 Bread & Wine for First Holy Communion (beginning April 17) - $25
            Pentecost Sunday (May 23) large urn Sanctuary arrangements - $100 each
     Since our rectory is still not open to visitors due to COVID-19, requests for items to donate
                         will be done either by email, postal mail or phone.

        For your convenience, we’ve added a fillable form for this purpose on our website.
          Under the tab, PARISH INFORMATION, scroll down and click on “Ways to Give.”
    Then scroll to “Remembering Loved Ones.” Complete the form and email to our receptionist
         who will be happy to assist you; or call the rectory for assistance at 516.798.4992.

 rived in Ghana and were distributed to a Catholic High School, an Elementary School & a
 Parish Youth Group. They all expressed their gratitude and excitement

                       Happy Easter! Alleluia! The Lord Is Truly Risen!
Christ is alive and His light has illuminated the darkness. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, may we continue to discover where Christ is truly alive in our life and on Long Island. Christ is
alive through your support of the Catholic Ministries Appeal, creating pathways of faith through the min-
istries it serves by touching more than 600,000 people in our community.

                        Christ is Alive through our Parish Outreach and Catholic
                   Charities programs that serve the needs of the disadvantaged in our
                                               Community.

                   Christ is Alive through our Faith Formation programs, educating our
                    Lay Leaders and children. And through our Seminary as we train
                                      our future priests and deacons.
                   Christ is Alive in our Youth, Young Adult and Campus Ministries as
                                 our young people grow closer to the Lord.

                 Christ is Alive in our schools as children learn in an environment that's
                              vision is directed by the teachings of our Lord.

        Christ is Alive in our Respect Life Office as we promote the sanctity of life at all stages.

       And most of all Christ is Alive as we join together to celebrate the Eucharist at our Parish.

Thank you for your help in keeping Christ Alive in our Long Island Community through
your financial support and prayers for the Catholic Ministries Appeal!
