I
have told you before about Dionysius Exiguus. Dionysius was a monk who was responsible for figuring out the year 1 AD (the birth of Jesus). He lived in the 6th Century, and using all the scholarly information available to him, Dionysius determined that Jesus was
crucified on March 25th in the Roman year of 786, and he rose from the dead on March 27th in the Roman
year of 786. Believing that Jesus’ life was a perfect circle, he believed that meant that Jesus was conceived on
March 25th and born 12 months later on December 25th in the Roman Year 753 (which he called year 1 AD). Using
Dionysius’ timeline, this Good Friday and Easter Sunday are exactly 1,983 years from those events that we remember each
year at this time.
Dionysius’ work changed the world by changing how we recorded time. Because of him, we now talk about B.C. (Before Christ)
and A.D. (year of our Lord “Anno Domini”), and even the secular B.C.E. (Before Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era) are based
on his calculations. The irony of all this is that his name “Dionysius Exiguus” means “Denis the Insignificant” or “Denis the Humble.”
Dionysius came from a then insignificant part of the Roman world (Bulgaria) to base a calendar on the pregnancy of an insignificant unwed teenage girl. She, in turn, gave birth to a boy in a cave in an insignificant village in another insignificant part of the Roman world. This boy grew up in another insignificant village. He broke bread and drank wine with his insignificant friends. He went
about the insignificant region preaching justice and mercy and healed the sick, and raised the dead, and was executed for blasphemy
and treason. His name would have been lost in history, but then the most significant event in human history happened. We celebrate this event today: Jesus’ Resurrection!
Jesus’ resurrection is not only a message of our salvation — it is a message to all of us, no matter
how small, lonely or insignificant we feel. We are all important. We all can make a difference if we
live our lives, as Jesus did, in kindness and mercy.
Happy Easter!
God Bless,
A NOTE FROM
DCN. GEORGE . . .
GOOD NEWS!
My daughter was about four when we went to the local department store to do some shopping. I was looking over some item when I
turned and realized that she wasn’t beside me. It was not like her to wander away, and I spent a frantic fifteen minutes before I located
her sitting on the floor playing with a doll from a display. I was at once relieved and angry, but more scared than anything else. What if
something had happened?
When Mary Magdalene went to the tomb that early Sunday morning, she expected to find Jesus’ body and mourn the loss of this man
whom they all loved. Not finding him where she expected was an utter shock. I can only imagine there was some fear and anger: “Who
took him? Where did he go? How could someone do this?” Her words tumbled out to Peter and the disciple Jesus loved. They, too, were
astounded to find his burial cloth and though they believed, they did not understand what the empty tomb signified.
I can also imagine what they felt when they finally saw Jesus—surely relief and wonder, but there may have been a little anger that he
had left them and fear for all that meant. Maybe that’s how God feels about us when we wander away. We were lost, and God sent the
prophets first and then his only Son to find us and lead us home. Out of love, Jesus gave his life and conquered death itself. In this Easter
season, let us take great care neither to wander away nor to lose sight of the Lord. He is the source of our life. We belong to him.

ask Padre
Why aren’t heaven’s gates open to all of humanity?
If God loves everyone, why aren’t all of us saved?
When we picture heaven, we imagine a place where everyone is happy, loving, and at peace. If this is perfect bliss, then why wouldn’t the Lord send everyone there? It is certainly a loving attitude to desire that all of our friends, family, and community enjoy the victory
of union with the Trinity. When Jesus died and rose, he opened the door for all of humanity to enter eternal life. If we want everyone to
be saved, and God wants everyone to be saved, what could possibly keep a person outside the Pearly Gates?
The answer lies in the very nature of God’s love for us. Not everyone is saved because God wants us to choose salvation freely.
While a person who loves God and willingly obeys his commands will find the kingdom blissful, a person choosing pride or selfishness
would not. Would heaven really be paradise if people could choose to be bullies, murderers, or abusers? If I reject God’s love because I
don’t want anyone telling me what to do, I would not freely submit myself to the Lord’s authority. God has given us free will, and that
means we are free to reject him and his kingdom. For heaven to be heaven, everyone there must be submissive to God’s will and each
other. Jesus loves us too much to force us to be saved.

STEWARDSHIP MOMENTS
In today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter boldly
offers his testimony to the risen Christ. He shared with the crowds
what he himself witnessed: Jesus’ friendship, healing and forgiveness.
Peter proclaims a resurrected life that brings hope. The Christian life
is, indeed, a resurrected life. It is new life, one of truth, inner joy and
genuine fulfillment. God has transformed our lives for all eternity, and
that transformation is what it means to be a Christian. Do you know
the resurrected life? Have you genuinely experienced it? Good stewards have, and in their joy, they are committed, like Peter, to offering
their own witness. It is time to rejoice. Christ the Lord is risen today!
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS are extended to Cindee and
Nancy Rotunda and family (St. Anthony) on the death of their son/
grandson, Michael Beck. May he rest in peace.

A PRAYER FOR EASTER
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Hearts to heaven and voices raise. Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise. He who on the cross a victim
for the world’s salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the king of glory,
now is risen from the dead.
Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Death at last has met defeat. See the ancient powers of evil
in confusion and retreat. Once he died and once was buried;
now he lives forevermore—Jesus Christ, the world’s Redeemer,
whom we worship and adore. Amen.

CLUSTER COMMUNAL ANOINTING SERVICE APRIL 2
St. Anthony will be hosting a Communal Anointing Service on Saturday,
April 2, at 11:00am. All who are in need of healing are invited to attend. A luncheon will follow in McNamara Hall.
No First Saturday Mass at Holy Cross in April
Due to the Communal Anointing Service, there will be no Mass nor
Confessions at Holy Cross on April 2.
•
DIVINE MERCY SERVICE
On Sunday, April 3, at 3:00pm at St. Anthony’s,
Deacon George Kozak will be leading a Divine
Mercy Service with recitation of the Divine
Mercy Chaplet, the Rosary, and Adoration and
Benediction. All are welcome.
DAYS FOR GIRLS EVENT
Save the Dates: Friday April 22 and Saturday
April 23 for a two-day, 10:00am-4:00pm Days for
Girls Event at All Saints Church!
Come for an hour when you can . . . or stay all
day!
Days for Girls empowers Days of education. Days of health. Days of safety. Days of dignity.
What if not having sanitary supplies meant DAYS without school,
DAYS without income, DAYS without leaving the house? Girls use
leaves, mattress stuffing, newspaper, corn husks, rocks, anything they
can find...but still miss up to two months of school every year. Worse,
girls are often exploited in exchange for hygiene products. It turns out
this issue is a surprising but instrumental key to social change for
women all over the world. The poverty cycle can be broken
when girls stay in school.
BINGO IS (ALMOST) BACK!!!
BINGO Begins Monday, April 4th. Kitchen
opens at 6:00pm; games begin promptly
at 7:00pm.
Volunteering for Bingo is equivalent to a $420 contribution
to All Saints! Consider volunteering to work only seven nights a
year. Contact Dan Dwyer at 533-4837 or djd363@gmail.com.
The members of the Knights of Columbus remind us of the
Importance of the Family! The family is where our children learn
from their mothers and fathers what life is all about. The family is
where the next generation is given the tools to live a life of Catholic
virtue. The family is the model place where the faith is transmitted to
new generations. The family is where Christian values are lived.
FULFILLING GOD’S WISH — FIRST SATURDAY APR. 2
The Rosary for Peace was one of the requests of Our Lady of Fatima.
Please plan to stay and pray the Rosary with us (in Chapel) immediately
after Mass next week at St. Anthony’s for peace in the world.
TO ALL SAINTS PARISHIONERS
Late last year we agreed to pursue discussions with Holy Apostle
Church regarding their interest in purchasing our old church, with All
Saints retaining ownership of the land (they are currently renting the
old church). Those discussions are proceeding well. They have given
us an initial offer that is near the appraised value of our old church.
We will continue to discuss the other important details with them
and keep you informed as to the progress. We have also been in contact with the Diocese so we can get their approval. Finally, if you
would like to be involved in this process or have questions, please
contact somebody on the parish council or finance committee.
