You've heard the saying "Seeing is believing." Today's first reading seems to say just the opposite. You might think that when
Jesus rose from the dead, everyone would see him. Then his friends would rejoice and those who had put him to death
would repent (or run as fast as they could). Yet Peter says that he was only visible to some of the disciples. Jesus did not ap-
pear to Herod or Pilate or Caiaphas. The Pharisees and scribes did not see him, either. Even the disciples did not immediately
see him. The first thing they saw was the empty tomb, with burial cloths lying on the ground. They may have thought that if
his enemies had stolen Jesus' body, they would not have removed the burial cloths; touching a corpse would have made
them unclean. So it seems the empty tomb helped them to believe, and believing enabled them to see the Lord. The excep-
tion to this may be Thomas, who said he would not believe until he saw and touched Jesus' risen body. Yet when he does see
the Lord, Jesus himself declares that believing is primary when he blesses those who have not seen but still believe (John
20:31). I used to think that Jesus was invisible to non-believers, but Mary of Magdala saw him, thinking he was the gardener.
Then she believed and recognized him. What does this mean for us? Jesus seems to be hidden again. Yet we say that he is
present in the sacraments; baptism, Eucharist, and confirmation show that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in us. So per-
haps we just need to believe in order to see him. Mother Teresa could do it. She said she was amazed at the love she felt
when she saw Jesus in the poor and the dying people of Calcutta. St. Francis saw him not only in the poor but in all creation.
Maybe we need to grow in faith so that we can see Jesus in the poor, the dying, the people who annoy us, even our enemies.
That is why it is so important to spread the faith; if we don't see Jesus in everyone, we may never have true peace.

blooming. Roses need to have the spent

follow quickly. About one hour a week, a
pair of clippers and gloves is all that is
needed. I will train that person for the
task. Contact Ben Manfre at 949-360-9242

is empty from our shelves and be diligent in our desire to provide more nutritional foods.
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2
Do you put God first in all things? Possessions, money, power, ego can easily become gods to many of us. Do a quick
check of what is important to you. Is God at the very top of the list? If not, your priorities need to be re-adjusted. Dont
let earthly things become your god.

Networking and Employment Transition Support
Ministry

The process of looking for a new position in the current job
market is multifaceted and can feel overwhelming at times.
What has always stood the test of time is becoming con-
nected with the people who can help pave the way for you.
Networking, whether in person or using the current social
media avenues, is still the very best way to land the job you
want. Additionally, in order to have a successful job search,
it is important to have a plan. To share his considerable
knowledge and gifts, Ron Feher will be presenting
Establishing a Transition Plan at our NETS meeting on
April 24, 2014, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Rons presentation
will focus on the realities of looking for a job in this day and
age and in these economic times. It will include the reali-
ties of a job search, the steps for creating a transition plan,
and coordinating your plan with Gods plan. Ron co-
founded the Saddleback Church Career Coaching & Coun-
seling Ministry 13 years ago and does career coaching and
training as an outreach to churches, communities and busi-
nesses. As owner and Chief Improvement Officer for
WhiteRock Business Solutions, Ron utilizes the experience
and skills he has gained over the past 30 years to help busi-
nesses succeed by offering the skills, knowledge, and ex-
perience to turn a firms strategy into reality. WhiteRock
Business Solutions concentrates on ensuring the day-to-day
operations are running efficiently and effectively thus en-
hancing the probability of a companys success. Rons goal
is to make your business better from the inside out. You
dont want to miss this great opportunity to help you plan
and organize your career transition!
