ARCHDIOCESAN NEWS

Good Friday Second Collection in support of the Holy Land

Each year on Good Friday, our Archdiocese is called to support Christians in the Holy Land. Many Christians in the Holy Land depend on the collection for their lives. As a Pontifical collection requested by Pope Francis, the annual Good Friday Collection helps to maintain not only the Holy Places above all, but also the pastoral, welfare, educational and social works that the Church carries out to the benefit of the Christian brothers and sisters and the local population.

Windows into Heaven: An Introductory Guide to Icons

On Friday, April 26, the Ministries and Outreach Office will launch a bi-monthly series of talks, lectures and experiences that will be held on Friday nights at the John Paul II Pastoral Centre. Our first event features Steve Knight, the President of the Epiphany Sacred Arts Guild and an iconographer who has written over 125 icons. He studied iconography at the Iconographic Institute in Mt. Angel, Oregon, and under Don Gianluca Busi of Bolognia, Italy. Register for FREE at www.rcav.org/event/into-th...

The Lived Experience of People with Dementia Presentation

Understanding the Liturgy

The Catholic Mass is the central act of worship in the life of a Catholic, but few are aware of what it all means. While some Catholics may know the prayers and responses said in the liturgy, many do not know their significance or historical development. The true beauty of the Mass is seen when you break it down into its components and explain each of the steps in a way that you might understand more clearly. The course Overview of the Liturgy explains the Catholic Mass so that you will have a better understanding of what it is, what it does and how it is essential to Christian growth. Register for this course at Spring Institute on Saturday, April 27th from 10am – 4pm at Holy Cross Secondary, Surrey. Course cost is $40 and includes lunch. For more information and registration visit: www.rcav.org/oc-spring.

What Catholics Should Know About Their Faith

An informational and enriching introduction to the Catholic faith and theology, this course will enable you to take greater responsibility in promoting the life and mission of the Church. This 2-part course covers the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church - Creed, Morality, Prayer and Sacraments. Part II explores the moral life and prayer. Course cost is $40 and includes lunch on Saturday, April 27th from 10am – 4pm at Holy Cross Secondary, Surrey. For more information and registration visit: www.rcav.org/oc-spring.

Stewardship Reflections

“He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed

by the devil, for God was with him.” (Acts 10:38)

On this Easter Sunday, open your hearts to receive God’s love, mercy and forgiveness. God is love and we are made in His

image and likeness. Let our lives reflect His light to others. Pray for guidance on how to live your life and give thanks for all that

He has given you.

Funeral Announcement

In your charity, please remember

Luigi Mondin

Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, April 23 @ 10:00 pm

Project Advance 2019 starts in our parish on May 12th! Mark your calendars!!!!

Easter Sunday

The tomb is empty! This says everything about this day. It is not empty because someone has taken his body; it is

not empty because he has decomposed beyond recognition; it is not empty because he really did not die and so was able to

recover enough to escape with the help of others. No, none of these reasons satisfy us or make any sense. The tomb is

empty because Jesus Christ – True God and True Man – has defeated death. Jesus died, he really died and was dead …

and I will say it again … he was dead! However, death could not hold Jesus Christ in the tomb. By his own power he was

able to raise himself from the dead. Can you figure this out? I certainly cannot! Jesus said in John 10:18: “No one takes it

from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I

have received from my Father." The “it” is his life.

This day highlights the reason why life is worth living. We are not dust in the wind (like that old Kansas song

says). No, we are so much more than dust in the wind. We are immortal, and our bodies will be remade on the last day of

this world and reunited to our soul. You and I, while we have the precious gift of time, need to ensure that our reunion

will be one in heaven and not forever away from God.

The resurrection is our assurance that life does continue to exist beyond physical death. And so on this holy day,

one that is filled with indescribable joy, let us give thanks to our Lord for offering himself in sacrifice for us and making

available the gift of overcoming the power of sin and sharing in the resurrection of the body. Finally, let us ask Jesus to

help us be faithful disciples of his, so that this gift that he has died for will not be in vain for you and me. May Mary, the

greatest of all disciples, help us to love her Son in some way as she did.

I want to extend a sincere welcome to our new Catholic brothers and sisters and their children. You have taken the

RCIA here at Corpus Christi, shared in our worship throughout the year in preparation for this day, and now you can

receive Jesus in the Eucharist and sacrament of Penance. I pray that you will always know that Corpus Christi is your

spiritual home.

It is also important to thank the many groups and some individuals persons who have helped the two priests

prepare for Easter: 1) Joseph Chiu who teaches RCIA Cantonese and Mandarin when needed; 2) All choir members who

work hard throughout the year; 3) Counters of the collection whose work is hidden, but so important; 4) Ushers who assist

in various ways; 5) Greeters; 6) The ladies who take care of the flowers and linens in the sanctuary; 7) Readers and Extra

Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion; 8) Altar Servers. Thank you, all of you, for your service to God and the

community of Corpus Christi.

On Saturday the 27th we will celebrate the Mass of 1st Communion for the children of our parish community,

children from Corpus Christi School and PREP. The children have already received Jesus in the sacrament of Penance, or

Confession. It is so very important that we pray for these children and their families, that they will remain faithful to the

gift of the Jesus in the sacraments. St Thomas Aquinas stated that God has bestowed upon us the dignity of causality.

The Lord allows us to participate in in a derivative way in his causality, an example of this which speaks to what is

happening on Saturday 27th, is that God has entrusted to parents the task of ensuring their children know who Jesus is and

keeping them in relationship with Jesus. This means many things, one of which is to bring them to Mass and ensure they

receive the sacraments. This will only happen if you allow it to happen. This is a great privilege and an equally great

responsibility.

Fr. Hamilton

本堂神父的話

耶穌復活主日

墳墓是空的! 這一天的一切不言而喻。因為有人拿走了祂的身體, 故此墳墓不是空的; 因為祂已經

腐爛得無法辨認, 故此墳墓不是空的; 因為祂沒有真的死, 其後復原, 並在別人的協助下逃脫。不,

這些理由都不能令我們滿意, 而且也沒有意義。墳墓是空的, 是因為耶穌基督----一位真天主和真

的人----戰勝了死亡。耶穌死了, 他真的死了, 證實死去了…., 我會再說一遍….他死了! 然而, 死亡

不能把耶穌基督困在墳墓裡。憑藉自己的力量, 耶穌能夠把自己從死裡復活。你能把整件事弄明

白嗎？我當然不能! 耶穌在若望福音 10:18 中說: 「誰也不能奪去我的性命, 而是我甘心捨掉它; 我有權捨掉它, 我也有權再取它來; 這是由我父所接受的命令。」它就是耶穌自己的性命。

這一天凸顯了生命值得珍惜的原因, 我們不是風中的塵粒 (就像 Kansas 的那首舊歌所言)。不, 我

們比風中的塵粒重要得多, 我們是不朽的, 我們的肉身將在這世界的最後一天復生, 並與我們的靈

魂團聚。你和我雖然擁有時間這寶貴的恩典, 但需要努力做到, 我們的重逢將會是在天國, 而不是

永遠遠離上主。

復活是我們的保證, 生命確實在肉體死亡之後繼續存在。因此, 在這個神聖的日子裡, 一個難以形

容的喜悅日子, 讓我們感謝我們的上主, 為我們奉獻而犧牲自己, 給予我們戰勝罪惡的力量和分享

肉身復活的恩賜。最後, 祈求耶穌幫助我們成為他忠實的門徒, 那麼, 祂為我們犧牲這份恩典就不

會白費。願最偉大的門徒聖母瑪利亞, 助佑我們像她一般愛她的兒子。

我誠摯歡迎新入教的兄弟姐妹及其子女, 為(受洗)這一天做準備, 你們已在本堂區研讀了慕道班

(RCIA), 在過去一年與我們參與彌撒, 現在你們可以接受耶穌的聖體聖事和修和聖事。我祈禱你

們會永遠知道, 基督聖體聖血堂是你們的精神家園。

同樣重要的是要感謝協助兩位神父準備復活節的團體和個人: (1) 以廣東話和普通話教慕道班

(RCIA)的 Joseph Chiu; 2) 全年彌撒中詠唱的歌詠團成員; 3) 工作隱藏但非常重要的捐款核數員; 4)

提供多方協助的捐款收集員; 5) 接待員; (6) 擺置祭台和鮮花的女士; 7) 讀經員和送聖體員; 及 8)

輔祭。感謝你們所有人, 感謝你們為上主和基督聖體聖血堂區所作的貢獻。

本星期六(27 日), 我們將為本堂區的兒童, 包括基督聖體聖血學校和兒童道理班 ( PREP )的學童,

舉行初領聖體的彌撒。孩子已經透過修和聖事(辦告解), 接受了耶穌。為這些孩子和他們的家人

祈禱實在是非常重要的, 願他們繼續忠於耶穌於聖事的恩賜。聖多瑪斯說, 上主賜予我們領會因

果關係的價值, 允許我們以模仿的方式維持與祂的關係。本星期六(27 日) 初領聖體正好是一個例

子, 說明上主寄予父母確保孩子知道耶穌是誰, 並維繫他們與耶穌的關係。這包括很多方法, 其中

之一就是帶他們參加彌撒, 並領受聖體聖事。只有在父母的引領下, 孩子才會如此成長。這是為

人父母的重要權利, 也同樣地是重要責任。

Divine MercyThe Second Greatest Story Ever Told

PARISH ARTICLE

I cannot say enough in words for the impact that these episodes had on me. To be able to access the Mercy of God by believing and understanding that, not through my merits but through his infinite mercy, I can access his graces, just blows my mind!!! It makes me want to move in action and share this news with others. I want everyone I love and know to learn this truth…Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
