Fr. Joseph’s Corner
St. Faustina and the Image of the Divine Mercy: St. Faustina of Poland is the well-known apostle of Divine Mercy. On the 30th of April 2000, at 10:00 AM on the Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday, the Feast requested by Jesus in His communications with St. Faustina), His Holiness Pope St. John Paul II celebrated the Eucharist in Saint Peter’s Square and proceeded to the canonization of Blessed Sister Faustina. [John Paul himself would be canonized on this same Feast Day – April 27 in 2014 – by Pope Francis.] Saint Faustina invites us by the witness of her life to keep our Faith and Hope fixed on God the Father, rich in mercy, Who saved us by the precious Blood of His Son. During her short life, the Lord Jesus assigned to St. Faustina three basic tasks: 1. to pray for souls, entrusting them to God's incomprehensible Mercy;
2. to tell the world about God's generous Mercy; 3. to start a new
movement in the Church focusing on God's Mercy. At the canonization of St. Faustina, Pope St. John Paul II said: “The cross, even after the Resurrection of the Son of God, speaks, and never ceases to speak, of God the Father, Who is absolutely faithful to His eternal love for man. ... Believing in this love means believing in mercy." “The Lord of Divine Mercy,” a drawing of Jesus based on the vision given to St. Faustina, shows Jesus raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing, with His left hand on his heart from which gush forth two rays, one red and one white. The picture contains the message, "Jesus, I trust in You!" (Jezu ufam Tobie). The rays streaming out have symbolic meaning: red for the Blood of Jesus, which is the life of souls and white for the Baptismal water which justifies souls. The whole image is symbolic of the mercy, forgiveness and love of God.
… Prayerful Wishes,
Father Joseph

Sunday of Divine Mercy April 28, 2019
The readings for this Sunday are
about God’s mercy, the necessity
for trusting Faith and the need for
the forgiveness of sins. The
opening prayer addresses the
Father as “God of everlasting
Mercy.” In the Responsorial Psalm
(Ps 118) we repeat three times,
“His mercy endures forever!” God
revealed His mercy, first and
foremost, by sending His only-
begotten Son Jesus who would
become our Savior and Lord
through His suffering, death and
Resurrection. Divine Mercy, or the
unconditional love of God, is
given to us also in each
celebration of the Sacraments,
especially that of Reconciliation.
The first reading, taken from the
Acts of the Apostles, explains how
the Risen Lord continued to show
His Divine Mercy to the sick
through the healing and
preaching ministry of the apostles
in the early Church. The Faith of
the apostles enabled them to
minister to the people, giving
them the Lord’s healing love in
“signs and wonders.” The second
reading, taken from the Book of
Revelation, given by Jesus to the
Apostle John in exile on Patmos,
was intended to comfort and
bolster the Faith of persecuted
Christians for all time. Today’s
selection assures us of the
presence of the merciful Lord in
our lives and encourages all of us
to fight fear with Faith, and
trepidation about the future with
trust and Hope. Today’s Gospel
recalls Jesus’ institution of the
Sacrament of Reconciliation, a
Sacrament of Divine Mercy. The
Risen Lord gave his apostles and
their successors the power to
forgive sins with the words,
“Whose sins you forgive are
forgiven them, and whose sins
you retain are retained” (Jn 20:
19-23). Presenting the doubting
Thomas’ famous profession of
Faith, “My Lord and my God,” the
Gospel illustrates how Jesus
showed his mercy to the doubting
apostle and emphasizes the
importance of Faith.
Let us accept God’s invitation to
celebrate and practice mercy:
One way the Church celebrates
God’s mercy throughout the year
is through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Finding time for
Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament is another good way to
receive and give thanks for Divine
Mercy. It is mainly through the
corporal and spiritual works of
mercy that we practice mercy in
our daily lives and are enabled to
receive God’s merciful judgment.
Let us ask God for the Faith that
culminates in self-surrender to
God and leads us to serve those
we encounter with love. Living
Faith enables us to see the risen
Lord in everyone and gives us the
willingness to render to each one
our loving service. The spiritual
Fathers prescribe the following
traditional means to grow in the
living and dynamic Faith of St.
Thomas the Apostle: a) First, we
must come to know Jesus
personally and intimately by our
daily and meditative reading of
the Bible. b) Next, we must
strengthen our Faith through our
personal and community
prayer. c) Third, we must share in
the Divine Life of Jesus by
frequenting the Sacraments of
Reconciliation and the Holy
Eucharist. St. Teresa of Kolkata
(Mother Teresa) presents it this
way: “If we pray, we will believe;
if we believe, we will love; if we
love, we will serve. Only then we
put our love of God into
action.” (L-19)
