Easter Announcement
Last night the NCW had its Easter Announcement. There were a few interesting things that were announced. First of all, Father Harold read a document, informing us that the NCW can have its Easter Vigil in small communities. A document was sent out by the Holy See on March 1st because some of the Traditional Catholics kept insisting that there should only be one Easter Vigil in the parish. As usual, some of the TLM Catholics do not believe us when we tell them that we can celebrate the Easter Vigil as it says so in our approved Statutes, but they insist there there must only be one Easter Vigil in a parish, and that the NCW is in violation. However, our approved statutes stated that we can celebrate the Easter Vigil in small communities. According to the March 1st document as reported by Crux (the bold is mine):The episcopal council of the Rome diocese, in a document distributed March 1, said the unity of the diocese - seen especially through the unity of the bishop and pastors of parishes in the celebration of the Eucharist - is especially important to emphasize during the triduum: the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the Good Friday liturgy of the Lord’s Passion and the Easter vigil Saturday night.
“To express visibly the unity of the holy people of God and express the deepest meaning of belonging to an ecclesial community,” the council said, those who frequent non-parish churches, chapels and oratories or who belong to special groups, associations or new movements “are exhorted to take part in the celebrations of the Easter triduum in parish churches.”
An exception exists for “national churches,” like the U.S. Catholic community at St. Patrick Church in Rome, and for members of the Neocatechumenal Way, whose Vatican-approved statutes allow for small-group celebrations of the Easter vigil, Midili said.Yes, brothers and sisters, an EXCEPTION exists for the members of the Neocatechumenal Way. Our approved statutes had always allowed us to celebrate the Easter Vigil in small communities.
Also, a priest in Japan was diagnosed with cancer. I believe his name was Father Miguel.....correct me if I am wrong. The acoustics in the church was terrible, and I had trouble hearing where we were sitting. According to the doctors, he does not have much time left. At any rate, this priest is very happy. His community and family have traveled from afar to visit him. They saw how happy he was despite his terminal illness. He had a smile on his face. Why is he happy? "Because," he said, "He is going to meet Jesus very soon." And he is eager to meet him that he does not feel the pain or suffering. A Christian leaves this world happy, knowing that he will be in his true home. Even the Apostles went to their deaths, singing with joy. Our true home is in God's kingdom for we are citizens of Heaven, and heirs to His kingdom.
