PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY In a decree dated August 3, 2002, the Apostolic Penitentiary announced that in order to Supreme Pontiff himself established that this Sunday be enriched by a plenary indulgence so that the faithful might receive in great abundance the gift of the consolation of the Holy Spirit. In this way, they can foster a growing love for God and for their neighbor, and after they have obtained God s pardon, they in turn might be persuaded to show a prompt pardon to their brothers and sisters. The plenary indulgence is granted (under the usual conditions of a sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and a prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff) to the faithful who, on Divine Mercy Sunday, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin, recite theour Father and the Creed, and also adding a devout prayer (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!). Additional provisions are offered for those who are impeded from fulfilling these requirements, but who wish to acquire a plenary indulgence. The full text of the decree of the Apostolic Penitentiary may be found at: While the readings and prayers for Mass on this day remain unchanged (they reflect perfectly on Our Lord s Divine Mercy) the Holy See offers this reflection: The Gospel of the Second Sunday of Easter narrates the wonderful things Christ the Lord accomplished on the day of the Resurrection during His first public appearance: On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, Peace be with you. When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad to see the Lord. Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so even I send you, and then He breathed on them, and said, Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained (Jn 20, 19-23).

BECOMING WHAT YOU RECEIVE - Ladies of the parish, what gifts have you been blessed with? Are you using those gifts to give thanks to God? We have just celebrated the suffering, dying and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Our God now asks us to become aware of what we have been given and strive to become that person. How do we do that? You might consider attending an annual Ladies Day of Reflection at St. James the Greater, 139 Manor Ave, Concord, NC. It will take place on Sat, April 25th, 9am - 3pm in Geiger Hall. The morning will begin with mass in the church, then proceed to Geiger Hall for the remainder of the day, where Sister Patricia Pepitone from the Sisters of Mercy will be the facilitator. For a low cost of $10, breakfast & lunch will be provided by the Women's Guild. You can make your reservation by calling by Tuesday, April 21, and pay at the door. We hope to see you there!

5 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En tiempos pasados, cuando la misa era en latín, no teníamos la oportunidad de escuchar en nuestro propio idioma las bellas palabras que Cristo pronunció durante la Última Cena y que el sacerdote repite durante la Consagración: Esto es mi cuerpo Esta es mi sangre. Por tal razón los monaguillos sonaban unas campanitas indicando que algo importante estaba pasando. En ese momento los fieles levantábamos la cabeza para ver el pan convertido en cuerpo y el vino convertido en sangre. Lamentablemente el sacerdote nos daba la espalda y no podíamos ver lo que ocurría sobre el altar. Sin embargo, respondíamos con las palabras del apóstol Tomás: Señor mío y Dios mío. Estas palabras reconocen y adoran la presencia de Jesús en el pan y el vino. A este momento se le consideraba el más importante de la misa. No obstante, el Concilio Vaticano II vino a enseñarnos que este es el momento cumbre, junto con toda la Plegaria Eucarística, pues toda la misa es igualmente importante, excepto que durante la Plegaria Eucarística alcanzamos el punto más alto de la celebración. Por esa razón ya no hay campanita, pues ahora escuchamos todo en nuestro propio idioma, así como los discípulos las escucharon de Cristo, en su propio idioma. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. UN SOLO CORAZÓN Y UNA SOLA ALMA Al leer sobre la fe de las primeras comunidades de creyentes puede ser fuente de gran inspiración para los que han sido cristianos por largo tiempo, como también para los que acaban de ser bautizados. Te puedes imaginar a gente de hoy que tiene un solo corazón y una sola alma igual que la primera comunidad de creyentes? La primera carta de san Juan que leemos hoy es la clave que nos dice cómo podemos lograrlo. Si guardamos los mandamientos de Dios y si amamos a todos los hijos de Dios parece ser la base de poder tener un un solo corazón y una sola alma. Vivimos en un mundo que recalca las diferencias ya sean entre religiones, razas, géneros y clases. Hoy se nos pide que nos enfoquemos en lo que tenemos en común en este frágil planeta que ocupamos.

7 What is Divine Mercy Sunday? Among all of the elements of devotion to The Divine Mercy requested by our Lord through St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, the Feast of Mercy holds first place. The Lord's will with regard to its establishment was already made known in His first revelation to the saint, as recorded in her Diary. In all, there were 14 revelations concerning the desired feast. Our Lord's explicit desire is that this feast be celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. This Sunday is designated in "The Liturgy of the Hours and the Celebration of the Eucharist" as the "Octave Day of Easter." It was officially called the Second Sunday of Easter after the liturgical reform of Vatican II. Now, by the Decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the name of this liturgical day has been changed to: "Second Sunday of Easter, or Divine Mercy Sunday." 'Now On Throughout the Church' Pope John Paul II made the surprise announcement of this change in his homily at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, There, he declared: "It is important then that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Second Sunday of Easter, which from now on throughout the Church, will be called Divine Mercy Sunday.' " By the words "the whole message," Pope John Paul II was referring to the connection between the "Easter Mystery of the Redemption" in other words, the suffering, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Christ, followed by the sending of the Holy Spirit and this Feast of Divine Mercy, the Octave Day of Easter, which fulfills the grace of atonement as lived through by Christ Jesus and offered to all who come to Him with trust. This connection is evident from the scripture readings appointed for this Sunday. As John Paul said, citing the Responsorial Psalm of the Liturgy, "The Church sings as if receiving from Christ's lips these words of the Psalm." "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good; His steadfast love (= mercy) endures forever" (Ps 118:1). And then, Pope John Paul II developed the connection further: "[This comes] from the lips of the risen Christ, who bears the great message of Divine Mercy and entrusts its ministry to the Apostles in the Upper Room: Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, even so I send you. Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained" (Jn 20:21-23).
