St. Mary Parish Easter Sunday April 1, 2018
Dear Parishioners,
Alleluia! After forty days of Lent, and the three days of the Sacred Triduum, Easter Sunday has arrived!
Today we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He rose from the dead breaking
forever the bonds of sin and death, pouring forth upon our human family a shower without end of
forgiveness and the promise of eternal life. Today we begin also the great Easter Season beginning with
eight days of Easter Week with magnificent readings everyday exploring the meaning of the Resurrection.
The Easter season then continues for 40 days until Ascension Thursday on May 10 and finally with the
grand finale with the Feast of Pentecost on May 20.
The Easter Season for me is always a glorious time: Great Scripture readings, wonderful music, and
celebrations of First Communions, Confirmations, Ordinations, Proms, Graduations, and, we hope, walks though the springtime
warmer air with flowers and trees blossoming. During this season our loving God gives us the opportunity to experience the
fundamental rhythm of our own life. What does it mean to be born? What does it mean to die? What does it mean to love?
Whether it is the spectrum of our individual life or that of our society, it will not work without living out death and resurrection.
People will spend billions on cosmetics and surgeries as well as countless hours at the gym to forestall the aging experience. But
we never win that battle. We do grow up, and we do grow old. The optional part is our choice to give up a total focus on
ourselves, sacrificing some of the things we hold onto, and reaching out to others. We cannot hug a person or have a handshake
or offer a compliment to another with our hands in our pockets and our mouths closed. No. To live a Resurrection spiritually is
to die to self in order to love the other. I believe you know this far better than I as you live your lives, through unprecedented
traffic problems, and historical divisions in our nation and seemingly impossible problems facing the human family.
Resurrection calls us to unite and come together. The Church, the people of God is called to be a living Sacrament of Love.
During my brief time here with you, the family of Saint Mary Parish, I have observed how you are living the Pascal
Mystery and living it well. Many of you have painfully suffered the closing of Saint Joseph Church in Woburn and the
Immaculate Conception Parish here in Winchester. All of us continue to suffer the painful experience of clergy sexual abuse and
more recently how widespread that terrible abuse of human life has been among Hollywood people, teachers and often family
members. The most powerful experience, however, has been this past year’s death of your warm, welcoming, loving, caring
long-term pastor, Father Dick Messina. You also have seen many changes in the parish staff who serve you: Steve Ultrino,
Father Beaulieu and Father Bova Conti. Through all this you as a parish family have chosen to be faithful and active members
of the parish with hearts fully believing that through dying we can move to the Resurrection.
As we now prepare to welcome our new pastoral leader Father Richard Erikson, I firmly believe we will experience the
hope-filled joy of the resurrection spiritually. This joy does not wipe out whatever grief we might feel, but it certainly balances
it out. By being resurrection people, we will welcome Father Erikson as yet another “Richard” in our faith community. Father
Dick will be cheering us on as on April 20 we begin the process of warmly and lovingly welcoming Father Erikson as our
leader. In the spirit of mutuality, we can help him live the Paschal Mystery as he will be letting go of the parish community in
Sudbury that he has known and loved.
Through all this may the Risen Christ pour forth His love upon us all.
With love,
Father John
Easter Collection Clergy Health and Retirement Trust
Every year at Easter, we join with family and friends to
honor and thank our priests through our parish
collections. Our 590 priests share Christ’s good news,
joyfully perform good works, and build strong
communities of good faith. Remember the priests who
have made a meaningful difference in your life, and
consider honoring them with a generous gift to today’s
collection. Thank you for your prayerful and generous
support of our priests.
The Resurrection of the Lord
“This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us be glad and rejoice!” Our readings remind us that the message of Easter is one of joy and good news. It is a message that is not to be kept to ourselves. We need to be witnesses of all that Jesus has done for us. We are “commissioned” to preach and bear witness. Take a moment during Easter brunch or Easter dinner, to speak of your love and gratitude for all Jesus has done for you.

OUR COMMUNITY
Today’s Reflection
Today we reach the high point of the Christian year: Easter Sunday. Christ is risen! Jesus’ mission is complete. Just as Jesus had promised would happen, God raised Him up on the third day. Jesus has redeemed us and has given us the hope of eternal life. Today we will renew our baptismal promises, rejecting sin and acknowledging the acceptance of our faith. Let us die to sin so that we can live in new life.
