EASTER
TABLE PRAYER
Alleluia Christ is risen from the dead!
Alleluia Christ is risen indeed!
Risen Lord of Creation;
Grain who die to be our Bread of Life,
Sustain us with
the fruit of the land.
Risen Prince of Peace;
You gave of yourself for others,
Make us witnesses for justice and peace.
Risen Lamb of God;
Known in the breaking of bread,
Bless us as we gather at this table.
Alleluia!
Let us feast in life, peace, and joy,
Here and at the heavenly banquet.
Amen.
SEEKING
Easter Sunday is a day all about seeking. The early Christian communities
gathered around the Apostles, seeking more about the life and ministry of
the Lord Jesus. Saint Paul
told the baptized Colossians to “seek what is above.” Mary of Magdala went to the tomb,
seeking to find the Lord’s body so that she could anoint it. We come to church on Easter
Sunday, seeking many things.
For some of us, this is a one-a-year journey, when we seek
connection with the foundations of the Christian faith. For others, this day is the
culmination of a long journey of Lenten repentance. For the newly baptized, this is
the first day of a new life filled with promise and expectation. Whatever it is that we seek, let
us be inspired by the disciple whom Jesus loved, who, when he saw the
wrappings of cloth inside the empty tomb, "saw and believed".
He is risen!
Special Request
We are urging all San Mateo County registered
voters to sign ”The Parents’ Right to Know and
Child Protection Initiative”
petition
after the Saturday and Sunday Masses on April 1,2,22,23,29,30 and May
7. This initiative is for a physician to notify
parents or guardians 48 hours before an abortion is performed on an
unemancipated minor.
