APRIL 20, 2014 — Easter Sunday

Newman Mission Statement “cor ad cor loquitur”The Newman Catholic Center includes the students, faculty and staff at the University of Massachusetts and extended com-munity. Empowered by the Spirit and inspired by .John Henry Newman’s motto: “Heart speaks to Heart” we explore, believe and reach out inclu-

sively to make Jesus Christ present to all who share their journey with us. Newman Vision Statement

The Newman Catholic Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst provides a safe, comfortable, and caring community in which stu-dents can grow spiritually, form new relationships, and deepen the rich traditions of their Catholic Faith. As Blessed John Henry Cardinal New-man desired, we put the Catholic faith to work in conjunction with students’ secular education. We offer encouragement in worship and study, aid in the development of leadership skills, and facilitate in building a faith community that provide lasting memories. Through the sharing of

meals and prayers that sustain the body, mind, and spirit, we create a “home away from home” environment that helps to break social barriers while supporting each other in the growth and understanding of the faith. We act as models to those around us through our commitment to

God, Church, and Community.

Please consider leaving a gift to Newman in your will. Contact Virginia Webb

Friday May 2 8pm Fun, Food & A Movie Burke Lounge

Please consider supporting our students hard at work studying for finals!

Drop a baked good off any day from April 28—May 5th The goodie table is in the hall.

Thank to all the students who took part in our sur-vey on Ash Wednesday. There were 560 surveys received and they were extremely helpful to us in observing our methods and what we need to look at in the future for serv-ing the Catholic students a bit better. We have computed all the surveys and now have the results and the information provided is very interest-ing. What rang loud a clear was the desire among students to have more Community Service activ-ities. We are pleased to find that 98% of the students find Newman a friendly place. We are grateful as well for the comments made on the surveys and we will look at all this information very seriously.

Easter Message From Fr. Gary Dear Newman Community members: As we enter into this Easter season, we are reminded . that Easter joy is the light at the end of the Christian tunnel. Let us rejoice always in Christ who is our Risen Lord and gives us hope. On behalf of Fr. Jon, our deacons and staff I wish you and your loved ones a very Blessed Easter season. May the Risen Christ be with you now and always. In Christ,

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION @ NEWMAN… Last class for all Religious Education classes Sunday April 27th. There will be a par-ty/game show event in the Burke Lounge midway thorugh the 9:15 am classes

FAMILY CONNECTION In the Easter Gospel we hear about how the disciples found the tomb empty three days after Jesus' death. We are also told that they do not yet understand the Scriptures or that Jesus had been raised from the dead. That understand-ing gradually unfolded for the disciples as they began to experience the risen Lord. Similarly, our understanding of Jesus' Resurrection unfolds for us throughout our lives. In the weeks ahead, we will hear how the first disciples moved from confusion, doubt, and skepticism to faith. Their experience can teach us how we too might receive this gift of faith from God. Gather your family members and ask them to share what they know about the events that happened in the days after Jesus' crucifixion. Invite your family to imagine that they are among Jesus' first disciples. Read to-gether today's Gospel, John 20:1-9. Reflect together on the Gospel with questions such as these: If you had been among the first disciples who heard that the stone had been removed from Jesus' tomb and that Jesus' body was no longer there, what would you think? What did Mary of Magdala, Simon Peter, and the disciple whom Jesus loved think had happened? Recall that this experience is the first indication Jesus' disciples have that he is risen. Throughout the Easter season, we will learn more about how the disciples came to believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Pray together using today's psalm, Psalm 118: “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.”

Easter Words from Pope Francis

"On this radiant night, let us invoke the intercession of the Virgin Mary, who treasured all these events in her heart (cf. Lk 2:19,51) and ask the Lord to give us a share in his Resurrection. May he open us to the newness that transforms, to God’s surprises… so very beautiful. May he make us men and women capable of remembering all that he has done in our own lives and in the history of our world. May he help us to feel his presence as the one who is alive and at work in our midst. And may he teach us - dear brothers and sisters – each day not to look among the dead for the Living One. Amen." Pope Francis from his Easter Vigil homily
