My dear Parishioners,
Today we celebrate the Second Sunday of Easter also known
as Divine Mercy Sunday. It was the now Saint John Paul II
who, as Pope, declared it to be such. The origin of the devo-
tion to Divine Mercy came about through revelations by
Christ to a Polish nun and mystic, St. Faustina, who lived in
the early years of the 20th century. She claimed that Jesus
told her to bring the message of Divine Mercy to the world
so that sinners might be saved. That message is being pro-
claimed broadly throughout the world today. It is interesting
to note that years before, in the early 13th century, another
nun and mystic, St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon in Belgium,
who had great devotion to the Most Blessed Sacrament,
worked ceaselessly to have a special feast of the Blessed
Sacrament. Her persistence won out and today Catholics
throughout the world observe the Feast of Corpus Christi
(The Body and Blood of Christ) every June. Think of it,
two nuns living in the solitude of their convents were divine
instruments in awakening Christians around the world to the
reality of the abiding sacramental presence and mercy of
Christ in the world.
God can use any one of us to achieve God’s purpose. All we
have to do is make ourselves available: like the prophet Isai-
ah, we have to tell God: “Here I am, Lord, I come to do your
will.” Like the two nuns who did not let cloister walls dead-
en their zeal, we too can move beyond whatever it is that
may be keeping us from giving ourselves more completely to
God’s service. The Easter Season is an opportune time to let
God know we are here to serve him. As we listen to the
Gospel stories of the Risen Lord calling and sending forth
the early disciples, we can pray that we will be alert to hear
the call and eager to deliver the Good News to our world.
Fr. Jerome, C.P.
PRAYER FOR PEACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES
For an end to the violence perpetrated by harsh words, deadly weapons, or cold
indifference. May our homes, our nation, and countries around the world become havens of peace, let us pray to the Lord.
ORACIÓN POR LA PAZ EN NUESTRAS COMUNIDADES
Pidamos para que termine la violencia ejercida por las duras palabras, armas mortales, o indiferencia. Que nuestros hogares, nuestra nacio n y los paí ses de todo el mundo se conviertan en refugios de paz, oremos al Sen or.

2017 Catholic Home Missions Appeal - April 29-30 The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place next weekend. One way that this appeal works to strengthen home mission dioceses in the United States is by funding the formation of their seminarians. Seminarians are a blessing but the cost of their education often places a financial burden on poor dioceses. Your support helps lighten that burden. Please help strengthen the Church at home by making a gen-
erous gift to next week’s appeal.

SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA
Mensaje: Llamado a una Nueva Vida.
Vale la pena asumir este mensaje a fin de que sea siempre la
Palabra de Dios que nos invite a crecer en la Fe, y en la vida
de fe.
Dos puntos queremos acentuar de la Palabra de Dios en este
domingo:
El Modelo de vida que nos presenta los Hechos de los
Apóstoles
El comportamiento de Tomás el apóstol.
En cuanto a lo del Domingo de la “Divina Misericordia” le
viene este nombre de Polonia, donde Santa Faustina Kowalska
difundió esta devoción a la Misericordia de Dios, sobre todo
porque en el evangelio de hoy Jesús dá a su Iglesia el poder
de perdonar los pecados. Esto debe despertar en nosotros
una profunda confianza en el Dios de la Vida y del Perdón.
Fomentar esta devoción, nos debe llevar a una vida de amor y
servicio a ejemplo de Jesús. Llevar una vida de mayor san-
tidad.
La Primera lectura - hechos de los Apóstoles- nos dice que
los creyentes todos vivían una vida de gran comunión y
fraternidad. Nos señalan cuatro puntos fundamentales de esa
vida:
a. “escuchar las enseñanzas de los apóstoles”,
b. “la vida común”,
c. “la fracción del Pan”
d. y “la oración en común”.
Hablamos de imagen “modelo” porque es el ideal al que de-
be tender la comunidad aunque nunca se ha vivido ni se vi-
virá totalmente sobre la tierra, porque las limitaciones hu-
manas están presente en nuestras vidas.
San Juan en el evangelio, nos presenta la actitud del apóstol
Tomás. El mismo día de Pascua, se presenta Jesús a los
apóstoles. Jesús Resucitado se manifiesta trayendo la paz y
enviando a la misión. Tomás no está en ese momento. Pero
su actitud negativa frente al testimonio de sus compañeros, lo
llevan a sentirse un poco ajeno al ‘misterio’ que están vivien-
do sus compañeros. El quiere ver y tocar con sus propios
ojos. A los ocho días se presenta nuevamente Jesús Resucita-
do e invita a Tomás a testificar su realidad. Tomás hace, sin
ver ni tocar, su gran manifestación de Fe, diciendo: “Señor
mio y Dios mio”.
Mis Hermanos, que en esta cincuentena pascual logremos
con la Gracia de Dios enriquecer nuestra fe, mediante la fidel-
idad a su Palabra. Con la gracia de la oración y la fuerza de la
Eucaristía.
P. Alberto, C.P.

sus parroquias. Por favor, fortalezca la Iglesia en casa dando una
