In the second reading Peter says, “You were delivered from your futile path of life...by Christ’s own blood.” In the Gospel, two disciples are on the path to Emmaus. Very likely most of us have experi- enced a post-Easter let-down. This was in evidence last Sunday when our attendance was about half of what it was on Easter Sunday! Some have gone back to their old path of life already. We’ve been on a “high,” and now we settle back down to the drudg- ery of daily existence. It must not be so! Christ has risen; he is with us! Our path of life must be different! The two on the path to Emmaus were disciples, not apostles. A disciple is a follower, a learner, one who studies to become like his master. Perhaps these followers did not recognize Jesus because they had never seen him! They followed him because of the proclama- tion of good news. But now, it seemed as if their world had collapsed; they went down the path to Emmaus in dejection and desperation. Jesus opened their minds to the Scriptures. But still they didn’t realize his presence. They finally recognized him “in the breaking of the bread.” The Gospel wants us to understand that we encounter Jesus in the Eucharist. “The breaking of the bread” was the ancient name for the Mass or the Eucharist. The risen Lord Jesus can deliver us from our futile paths of life. He is always present to us in his word and in his sacrament. But we must come out of ourselves to find him. We must look up and out. Let us renew our realiza- tion of the presence of the risen Lord each day. And let us realize that he truly will show us the path of life. --Msgr.

Third Sunday
of Easter
APRIL 30, 2017
Acts 2:14,22-33; 1 Peter 1:17-21;
Luke 24:13-35
One “key word” is found in each ofthe Scripture readings of today’s Massand in the Responsorial Psalm. It isthe word path. (In the second readingand Gospel it is translated “way.”)The conclusion of the first reading is:“You have shown me the paths of life.”Our Responsorial Psalm refrain is:“Lord, you will show us the path oflife. In the second reading Peter says,“You were delivered from your futilepath of life...by Christ’s own blood.”In the Gospel, two disciples are on thepath to Emmaus.
Very likely most of us have experi-enced a post-Easter let-down. This wasin evidence last Sunday when ourattendance was about half of what itwas on Easter Sunday! Some havegone back to their old path of lifealready. We’ve been on a “high,” andnow we settle back down to the drudg-ery of daily existence. It must not beso! Christ has risen; he is with us!Our path of life must be different!
The two on the path to Emmauswere disciples, not apostles. A discipleis a follower, a learner, one who studiesto become like his master. Perhapsthese followers did not recognize Jesusbecause they had never seen him! Theyfollowed him because of the proclama-tion of good news. But now, it seemedas if their world had collapsed; theywent down the path to Emmaus indejection and desperation.
Jesus opened their minds to theScriptures. But still they didn’t realizehis presence. They finally recognizedhim “in the breaking of the bread.”The Gospel wants us to understandthat we encounter Jesus in theEucharist. “The breaking of thebread” was the ancient name for theMass or the Eucharist.
The risen Lord Jesus can deliver usfrom our futile paths of life. He isalways present to us in his word and inhis sacrament. But we must come outof ourselves to find him. We must lookup and out. Let us renew our realiza-tion of the presence of the risen Lordeach day. And let us realize that hetruly will show us the path of life.

Fr. Don’s Doodling’s HAPPY EASTER! Alleluia, Alleluia! I never tire of
wishing a Happy Easter to everyone during this glorious season. After the 40 days of Lent we are blest with 50 days of Easter – a week of weeks plus a day. The Church seems to be showing us which of these is more important, namely, the celebration of Christ, risen from the dead, and alive with us.
It’s no small thing that the Church calls this the Second Sunday OF Easter, not the Second Sunday after Easter. Because we continue to celebrate Easter this Sunday just as really and truly as we did last Sunday, and for seven more weeks to come. What this says to me is that Christ’s resurrection is so magnificent that to celebrate it on just one Sunday would be inadequate. So it’s smeared out for us for 50 days, concluding with Pentecost Sunday. As though that weren’t enough, we celebrate Christ’s resurrection every Sunday of the year in the Eucharist.
As I read the Sacred Scriptures during the Easter Season, I’m struck with the idea that Jesus was intent on making sure that his disciples understood that he was not only risen from the dead, not only still alive, but still with them. He kept appearing to them, teaching them more things, and prodding them to go out and get busy spreading the Good News of his presence.
This Sunday’s gospel offers one of the best examples. Jesus meets the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus, teaches them more along the way, and they finally recognize him in “the breaking of bread.” He has to give them this visual reminder of the Last Supper – as if to say, “Remember what I told you? This IS my Body; this IS my Blood. Go, do this in remembrance of me.” And the only way to get them to pay attention to his new presence, this real presence with them, was for him to vanish from their sight. Otherwise they were too focused on his physical bodily presence, and not paying attention to his Eucharistic presence.
We are just as human as those disciples and get distracted with many things. We need to prayerfully work at keeping our attention on the wonder of Christ’s continual presence to us in the Eucharist. Try it and see where Christ takes you next.
Workshop for Liturgical Ministers On Wednesday, May 10, we will have a special workshop for those involved in liturgical ministry, in particular for readers, greeters, ushers, and we are adding those involved in RCIA ministry. It will be offered twice: at 4:00-5:15 p.m. and at 7:00-8:15 p.m. in the Parish Center. The same material will be given at each session, so you can attend either one. In fact,

All parishioners are asked to complete this survey by Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at www.dio.org/synod in order to provide the future direction for our diocese. Topics discussed at the meeting included: scheduling a prayer service and/or Mass for our parishioners experiencing serious illness and diseases; and Carol Seifert’s fundraiser and necessary preparation for the event. A healing Mass has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. to pray for those who are ill. Carol Seifert’s fundraising event will be held Sunday, May 28, 2017 with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. and a cost of $40 per person.

Synod Survey We NEED Your Input! Our diocese is offering each of us a wonderful opportunity to provide input in creating and establishing the future direction of our diocese. Your input is valued, needed, and important in providing this spiritual direction by completing a questionnaire/survey. A copy of the survey questions was included in the church bulletin several weeks ago and can be completed by going online at www.dio.org/synod. Additional survey copies will be located at the entrance doors of the church. Written responses can be dropped off at the parish rectory or sent to the Catholic Pastoral Center, Attention: Synod Survey, 1615 West Washington St., Springfield, Illinois 62702-4757. During this year, the fourth synod, (religious term for meeting), is being held with a prayer service that started in January and concluding in November 2017 with a closure Mass. This will only be the fourth synod held in the history of our diocese with the last one being held over fifty years ago. Each parish in our diocese has been allowed a representative to attend the various synod meetings and activities and will be able to vote when needed. The questionnaire responses will be used to provide direction and focus for the synod and that is why it is extremely important to complete the survey. Jan Zeidler is our parish representative for the synod and will be attending the various meetings and activities. She can be contacted at [email protected] or at 217-779-0290 if you have any questions. PLEASE take the time to respond and complete the diocesan survey by May 2, 2017. Your input is crucial in providing a good survey response in creating the future direction for all parish communities in our diocese. As a Lenten offering, please take the time to pray and reflect on your faith. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pastoral Council Summary
The St. Francis Parish Council meeting was held on Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. Opening prayer and formation occurred with the formation focused on completion of the synod questionnaire. All parishioners are asked to complete this survey by Tuesday, May 2, 2017 at www.dio.org/synod in order to provide the future direction for our diocese. Topics discussed at the meeting included: scheduling a prayer service and/or Mass for our parishioners experiencing serious illness and diseases; and Carol Seifert’s fundraiser and necessary preparation for the event. A healing Mass has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. to pray for those who are ill. Carol Seifert’s fundraising event will be held Sunday, May 28, 2017 with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. and a cost of $40 per person.

Synod Survey We NEED Your Input! Our diocese is offering each of us a wonderful opportunity to provide input in creating and establishing the future direction of our diocese. Your input is valued, needed, and important in providing this spiritual direction by completing a questionnaire/survey. A copy of the survey questions was included in the church bulletin several weeks ago and can be completed by going online at www.dio.org/synod. Additional survey copies will be located at the entrance doors of the church. Written responses can be dropped off at the parish rectory or sent to the Catholic Pastoral Center, Attention: Synod Survey, 1615 West Washington St., Springfield, Illinois 62702-4757. During this year, the fourth synod, (religious term for meeting), is being held with a prayer service that started in January and concluding in November 2017 with a closure Mass. This will only be the fourth synod held in the history of our diocese with the last one being held over fifty years ago. Each parish in our diocese has been allowed a representative to attend the various synod meetings and activities and will be able to vote when needed. The questionnaire responses will be used to provide direction and focus for the synod and that is why it is extremely important to complete the survey. Jan Zeidler is our parish representative for the synod and will be attending the various meetings and activities. She can be contacted at [email protected] or at 217-779-0290 if you have any questions. PLEASE take the time to respond and complete the diocesan survey by May 2, 2017. Your input is crucial in providing a good survey response in creating the future direction for all parish communities in our diocese. As a Lenten offering, please take the time to pray and reflect on your faith. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Fr. Don’s Doodling’s HAPPY EASTER! Alleluia, Alleluia! I never tire of
wishing a Happy Easter to everyone during this glorious season. After the 40 days of Lent we are blest with 50 days of Easter – a week of weeks plus a day. The Church seems to be showing us which of these is more important, namely, the celebration of Christ, risen from the dead, and alive with us.
It’s no small thing that the Church calls this the Second Sunday OF Easter, not the Second Sunday after Easter. Because we continue to celebrate Easter this Sunday just as really and truly as we did last Sunday, and for seven more weeks to come. What this says to me is that Christ’s resurrection is so magnificent that to celebrate it on just one Sunday would be inadequate. So it’s smeared out for us for 50 days, concluding with Pentecost Sunday. As though that weren’t enough, we celebrate Christ’s resurrection every Sunday of the year in the Eucharist.
As I read the Sacred Scriptures during the Easter Season, I’m struck with the idea that Jesus was intent on making sure that his disciples understood that he was not only risen from the dead, not only still alive, but still with them. He kept appearing to them, teaching them more things, and prodding them to go out and get busy spreading the Good News of his presence.
This Sunday’s gospel offers one of the best examples. Jesus meets the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus, teaches them more along the way, and they finally recognize him in “the breaking of bread.” He has to give them this visual reminder of the Last Supper – as if to say, “Remember what I told you? This IS my Body; this IS my Blood. Go, do this in remembrance of me.” And the only way to get them to pay attention to his new presence, this real presence with them, was for him to vanish from their sight. Otherwise they were too focused on his physical bodily presence, and not paying attention to his Eucharistic presence.
We are just as human as those disciples and get distracted with many things. We need to prayerfully work at keeping our attention on the wonder of Christ’s continual presence to us in the Eucharist. Try it and see where Christ takes you next.
Workshop for Liturgical Ministers On Wednesday, May 10, we will have a special workshop for those involved in liturgical ministry, in particular for readers, greeters, ushers, and we are adding those involved in RCIA ministry. It will be offered twice: at 4:00-5:15 p.m. and at 7:00-8:15 p.m. in the Parish Center. The same material will be given at each session, so you can attend either one. In fact,
