HAPPY IRS DAY!

My Mother has developed (rather rapidly lately) dementia

with Lewy markers, which means that she is prone to having

hallucinations, both auditory and visual. It is not a big

problem during the day (when she thinks someone upstairs is

playing records and the “phantoms” she sees don’t frighten

her). At night it is a different story; I witnessed that during my

Easter visit. My sisters and I moved her temporarily to a

respite assisted living apartment while looking for a more

permanent situation where she can more easily have

assistance during the night if this should continue. I know many

of you have regularly prayed for her good health and well-

being. My family appreciates this very much. I will plan to

go back up on April 29 as I will need to help make sure her

independent-living apartment is vacated so as not to be

paying for two separate places.

What About My Aching Back? The folks who attended Mass

last weekend at Holy Ghost already know this but for the

others, this is the situation. After consultation with a spinal

surgeon and more x-rays it turns out that I will need two

spinal decompressions and a spinal fusion. At this point a

date has not been set as I am waiting for approval from the

insurance company before I can be put on the surgeon’s

schedule. I don’t know any other details yet but will make

sure that before it happens all of my duties will be covered. I

will keep you informed.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEWLY CONFIRMED: Last

Thursday the young people in our parishes received this

sacrament by which they promised to use the gifts of the Holy

Spirit, newly received, to spread the Catholic faith and to

defend it when attacked. All of us know that this is not really

possible if we do not refresh our souls every weekend by

participating in Holy Mass and by regularly confessing our

sins in sacramental confession. I ask all parents and family

members to assist them as they continue to mature in the faith

by giving them the best example and the support of your

prayers. The names of those newly confirmed are on the front

cover of this bulletin. Please congratulate them when you see

them.

Remember no one is allowed to post

personal messages on church bulletin boards

or elsewhere without prior permission

from the pastor.

MERCY SUNDAY WAS CELEBRATED LAST WEEKEND, the

2

nd

Sunday of Easter, a feast established in 2000 when

St. John Paul II canonized St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun,

who was privileged to experience many encounters with Jesus,

the Lord of Mercy. Last Sunday we were also reminded that

Our Lord entrusted to the Church the sacrament of Mercy, or

Reconciliation, through which the souls of repentant sinners are

washed clean in the Blood of the Lamb of God as they

confess and receive absolution – mercy freely shown to those

who repent and confess.

During her encounters with Jesus, St. Faustina, like the

visionaries at Fatima in 1917, also experienced a vision of

hell. In her Diary she recorded the following, words

especially important for those who doubt the existence of hell

or that any soul actually goes there for eternity.

Sister Faustina's Vision of Hell

"I, Sister Faustina Kowalska , by the order of God, have

visited the Abysses of Hell so that I might tell souls about it

and testify to its existence...the devils were full of hatred for

me, but they had to obey me at the command of God, What I

have written is but a pale shadow of the things I saw. But I

noticed one thing: That most of the souls there are those who

disbelieved that there is a hell." (Diary 741)

These are the Tortures suffered by all the damned

together, but that is not the end of the sufferings.

Indescribable Sufferings:

There are special Tortures destined for particular souls.

These are the torments of the senses. Each soul undergoes

terrible and indescribable sufferings related to the manner in

which it has sinned.

I would have died:

There are caverns and pits of torture where one form of

agony differs from another. I would have died at the very

sight of these tortures if the omnipotence of God had not

supported me.

No One Can Say There is No Hell:

Let the sinner know that he will be tortured throughout all

eternity, in those senses of which he made use to sin. I am

writing this at the command of God, so that no soul may find an

excuse by saying there is no hell, or that nobody has ever been

there, and so no one can say what it is like...how terribly souls

suffer there! Consequently, I pray even more fervently for the

conversion of sinners. I incessantly plead God's mercy upon

them. O My Jesus, I would rather be in agony until the end of

the world, amidst the greatest sufferings, than offend you by

the least sin." (Diary 741)

Stewardship Reflection: “Jesus himself stood among them and

said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ But they were startled and

frightened…” – LUKE 24:36-37—Throughout the day we have

many opportunities to “see the face of Jesus” in others and to

“be the face of Jesus” to others. Do we take that opportunity

to provide “peace” to those we encounter or are we afraid of

what others will think of us and do nothing? Pray for the

strength to live a “God-centered” life and not a “self-

centered” life.

Word of Life: “A model of care has been developed

specifically for families whose infant is likely to die before or

after birth. Often called ‘perinatal hospice,’ it's a way of

caring for both the baby and the baby's family before, as

well as after, birth.” - USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities,

“Supporting Families Who Receive a Prenatal Diagnosis”

www.usccb.org/prenatal-diagnosis.

“WHAT ABOUT THE CHURCH?”

What comes to mind when you hear the word, church? Do you

picture a building or religious object? Do you picture an

organization or a hierarchy? Does some person or persons

come to mind? Do you see yourself as one of those persons?

How do others contribute to your faith journey or your

relationship with God? How do YOU contribute to others faith

journey or their relationship with God? What About the Church

is the topic for our Alpha group’s discussion this week.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A TIME OF PRAYER!

Deacon Al Aulner is leading a prayer time in the church

each week while the Alpha group is meeting.

ALL IN THE PARISH ARE WELCOME EACH WEEK!
