The Squire Roses have made "Good Deed Beads" for every member of the Trinity community. The beads were gifted to students and faculty/staff with the following note: "Good Deed Beads are an aid to move our focus off of our worries and on to offering presents to God, to others, and to ourselves throughout the day. Each time you make a sacrifice or you perform a good deed, discreetly slide a bead to the other side of your bracelet. God is most present to us in the moment at hand, not in the regret of the past, nor worry about the future. Focusing on sacrifice helps us to live in the present and to be more aware of God's loving influence one bead at a time." The beads were blessed by our chaplain, Fr. Weiss, at the Trinity Mass on Wednesday, March 28. Thank you to our Squire Roses for this wonderful gift!

"Seek the Light, Be the Light"
Spiritual Reflections
|
|
By Scott Root, Campus Minister
The Gospel for Sunday, April 1, 2018 – Easter Sunday
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they put him." So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first; he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place. Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed. For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he had to rise from the dead.--John 20:1-9
Reflection
Alleluia! He is Risen! The Lord is truly risen! Without Good Friday, there cannot be any Easter
joy. The Lord suffered for our sins, but He did not suffer in vain. He died for our sins, but more
importantly, He rose from the dead. When Jesus rises from the dead, He repairs the covenantal
bond between God and humanity. By His Resurrection, we are once again heirs to the promise
land of eternal life with Him in heaven. While Easter falls this year on April Fool’s Day, this is
no joking matter. This Easter season, let us ask God to give us the joy of the Resurrection so that
by our lives we can proclaim “He is Risen!” to all we encounter.

Saint of the Week--Saint John Baptist de La Salle, April 7
Probably best known as the patron of many Christian Brothers’ schools, Saint John Baptist de La Salle originally had no intention of working with youth or founding a religious community. He saw himself as a comfortable diocesan priest. But God had other plans, and Saint John responded wholeheartedly.

Prayer
O God, who on this day, through Your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord's Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by Your Spirit, rise up in the light of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
