APRIL 01, 2018 EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

K E N O S I S F O R E A S T E R 2018

My dear Sisters and Brothers:

A JOYOUS AND LIBERATING EASTER!

As Christians, we are again celebrating the greatest event in our faith life

— Jesus, our Lord and Savior rising from the dead, defeating the power of

hell, and restoring our being children of God. We are "heirs of the Kingdom of God with Christ" as

St. Paul tells us. We have been redeemed, meaning valued and loved and knowing that our Risen Lord

lives to accompany us in our pilgrim journey back to our merciful and compassionate Father. But

what is supposed to be our continuing response to this magnificent and extravagant love of God for us

in Christ? First and foremost is a never-ending deep gratitude. Secondly, Jesus has been raised and

the tomb is empty. God's power untombs the entombed. But when we do not forgive others or

ourselves, when we hold grudges, when addiction controls us, when we allow evil desires to dictate our

words and deeds, we tomb the untombed. By the grace of Christ's resurrection, let us stop these and

embrace the light of a new day.

May I inform you that I will be gone from April 3 and will be back on May 11. I will be attending the

yearly retreat of the SSS in the Philippines, attend meetings and take my vacation. I will remember

you all in my prayers especially in the Eucharist. Kindly pray for us also. In case you have concerns,

you may address them to Fr. Pat.

God's abundant blessings be upon you and your dear ones.

In our Risen Lord,

Fr. Frankie, SSS

Pastor

He Is Risen!!

Alleluia!

May the LOVE of the Risen Christ that

surpasses all understanding bring

PEACE and JOY to you and your loved

ones, and may the merciful Risen Lord

be with you always!

Wishing you all a Blessed and Faith-

Filled Easter!

Fr. Frankie, Fr. Pat, Bro. Buddy

And the MSOS Parish Staff

Haec dies quam fecit Dominus: “This is the day which the

Lord has made.” Throughout the octave we shall sing of

the unequalled joy which throws open eternity to us. Every

Sunday will furnish a reminder of it, and from Sunday to

Sunday, from year to year, the Easters of this earth will

lead us to that blessed day on which Christ has promised

that He will come again with glory to take us with Him into

the kingdom of His Father.

May the PEACE of the RISEN LORD reign in our hearts as

we continue responding to HIS call: to proclaim in word

and in work the good news of

HIS RESURRECTION!

WE WISH YOU A BLESSED EASTER!

FROM: ALL THE MSOS LAY MINISTRIES

APRIL 01, 2018 EASTER SUNDAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

SCHOOL NEWS

Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center Celebrates Easter and New Life!

The Parable of the Butterfly

On Easter morning the disciples saw Jesus' garment lying on the empty tomb,

like an empty chrysalis deserted by a butterfly who has left to soar free. "He is risen," an angel told the

incredulous disciples. Jesus later appeared to his disciples, and over the course of the next few weeks, to as

many as five hundred people. Jesus has risen from the dead!

At Mary, Star of the Sea Early Learning Center, the children are introduced to Easter as a joyous

celebration of new life! A special crown flower tree was planted at the ELC many years ago, and has

been the home to hundreds of caterpillars and butterflies. Children learn about transformation and

celebration of new life through the parable of the butterfly.

The parable of the butterfly is the promise of new life and resurrection. After the caterpillar fulfills its

urge to eat and grow, it instinctively forms a chrysalis around itself which hardens. In all outward

appearance, it appears lifeless. Then one day, the chrysalis begins to move and writhe, and through

much effort, a beautiful butterfly emerges! It is the beginning of a new life! The parable of the butterfly

symbolizes and celebrates the miracle and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. On behalf of the ELC

administration, teachers, staff, and students, may you and your family have a blessed and glorious

Easter!

MARY, STAR OF THE SEA SCHOOL Aloha MSOS Parishioners,

Easter is truly a time of celebration! As we come together to celebrate a joyous Easter with our loved

ones, we are reminded of all the blessings God gives us. We are truly blessed to have a great school and

great scholars. I am thankful for your support in developing future Catholic leaders that will serve

Christ, will serve our community and society. On behalf of my faculty and staff, I wish you and your

family a very blessed Easter.

Blessings,

Margaret Rufo

Principal, Mary Star of the Sea School
