PERPETUAL ADORATION How appropriate that we celebrate the Feast of Divine
Mercy right after Easter. The Resurrection was an act
of Mercy, for without Jesus
redeeming us we would not
be able to approach God.
Stay and visit with Jesus in
His Sacrament of love, the
Eucharist. Go to Confession
and receive the merciful love
and forgiveness of our Father
and then approach our Jesus,
our God and Savior. How
awesome is our God that
He loves us so much. Do we
try to return some love to
Him? Bring our children and teach them that just as
we receive the Mercy of God we must also grant our
mercy upon others.
ADORERS PLEASE OFFER ONE HOUR THIS
WEEK FOR ALL WHO FIND IT DIFFICULT
TO FORGIVE, FOR ALL WHO WON’T
FORGIVE, FOR ALL WHO DON’T BELIEVE
IN FORGIVENESS FOR OTHERS AND FOR
ALL WHO FIND IT HARD TO FORGIVE
THEMSELVES.
Adorers needed: Friday 4:00 a.m.-5:00 a.m.
It’s Divine Mercy Sunday...maybe it’s time for
you to be a Perpetual Adorer. Just try it as a
Substitute. You will want to come back!

A Spiritual Meditation
“Don’t worry about
anything: Instead, pray
about everything: Tell
God your needs and
don’t forget to thank
Him for His answers. If you do this, you will
experience God’s peace which is far more
wonderful than the human mind can understand.
His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts
quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4.6.-7
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
Divine Mercy Sunday will be
observed here at our parish
today. The services begin at
3:00 p.m. and will incorporate
the recitation of the Chaplet of
Divine Mercy, recitation of the
Glorious Mysteries of the
Rosary, reading of a Concise
Catechesis of Divine Mercy
Sunday (incorporating Pope
Saint John Paul II’s Message of
1981) and time for private devotion. The Holy Hour
concludes with Benediction. Divine Mercy Sunday is an
annual celebration of God’s Mercy when all sin is forgiven
and the punishment due to sin is completely removed for
those who prepare for this day by celebrating the Sacrament
of Reconciliation prior to today, and who receive Holy
Eucharist on the day itself. The focus of Divine Mercy
Sunday is on God’s Mercy for sinners, for those who turn to
Him with trust.
A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE
SUNDAY READINGS
HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. W illiam J. Reilly
Second Sunday of Easter or
Sunday of Divine Mercy, April 3, 2016
“Many signs and wonders were done among the people
at the hands of the apostles. They were all together in
Solomon’s portico. None of the others dared to join
them, but the people esteemed them. Yet more than ever,
believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women,
were added to them... Blessed are those who have not
seen and have believed.”
The second Sunday of Easter, designated Divine Mercy
Sunday by St. John Paul II, and a key moment in the
Jubilee Year of Mercy finds us, not at Solomon’s portico
but in our homes and home parishes. The signs and wonders
of the early church are manifest again, as others, through
our efforts and invitation, return to the life of the church.
If each person would pause, pray, and then invite someone
to experience the mercy of God and return to the life of the
church, how different would our parish life be.
Before his election as Pope, our Holy Father as Archbishop
of Buenos Aires wrote “Only someone who has encountered
mercy, who has been caressed by the tenderness of mercy,
is happy and comfortable with the Lord.”
Bishop Sullivan has asked
I share the following
information with you from
Archbishop Joseph E.
Kurtz, President of the
USCCB. Today, the people of God
must speak up for our
brothers and sisters facing genocide in the Middle
East. I urge every Catholic to sign the petition at
www.stopthechristiangenocide.org. As people of
faith, we must convince the United States Department
of State to include Christians in any formal
declaration of genocide.
For months, the Catholic Church has been a voice for
Christians and other religious minorities facing the
evil of deadly persecution. Now, the State
Department is expected to make a decision within
days. A resolution, H. Con. Res. 75, is also gaining
bipartisan support in Congress. Please, make sure
your name is added to the witness. The very future of
the ancient Christian presence in the Middle East is at
stake.
I am grateful to my brother bishops, the Knights of
Columbus and all the faithful who have struggled to
keep a focus on suffering Christians in the national
debate. Rest assured of my continued prayers and
support.
With each passing day, the roll of modern martyrs
grows. While we rejoice in their ultimate victory
over death through the power of Jesus’ love, we must
also help our fellow Christians to carry the Cross of
persecution and, as much as possible, help relieve
their suffering. By doing so, the Middle East and the
world will be made safe for people of every faith to
live in peace.
