3 ASSOCIATE PASTOR S MESSAGE PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 3 W e continue this Easter season with the Second Sunday of Easter or Divine Mercy Sunday. As a liturgical season, Easter lasts fifty days and ends on Pentecost Sunday. Taken together with the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday), this time of year compresses so much our faith into a short span of fifty-three days: the institution of the Most Holy Eucharist and the priesthood, Christ s death on the Cross, the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus ascension into heaven, and the out pouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Our Lord appeared to a Polish sister, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, in the 1920 s and 1930 s. In these apparitions, our Lord asked that a feast in honor of His mercy be established. It took many years but on April 30, 2000, Pope St. John Paul II canonized St. Faustina and stated that the Second Sunday of Easter from now on throughout the Church will be called Divine Mercy Sunday. St. Faustina kept a diary in which she recorded Jesus words to her. I will conclude with a few things Jesus said: Before I come as the Just Judge, I am coming first as the King of Mercy (Diary 83). The flames of mercy are burning Me clamoring to be spent; I want to keep pouring them out upon souls; souls just don t want to believe My goodness (Diary 177). The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls... These two rays issued forth from the very depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. These rays shield souls from the wrath of My Father. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him. I desire that first Sunday after Easter be the Feast of Mercy (Diary 299). Whoever approaches the Fount of Life on this day will be granted complete remission of sins and punishment (Diary 300). I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. (Diary 327) My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow My graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them (Diary 36). Fr. Richard Yevchak, IVE Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! A big Thank You to the following who made soup for the soup suppers durjng Lent: August & Marlene Goettl, Dan Moore, Isabel Sehe, Leo Roth, and Linda Zumwalde. They were all wonderful. Thanks also to the ladies who came and set up before the Stations of the Cross each Sunday; Jan Cole, Judy Kraft, Dorothy Queen, and Nettie Winiarski, and thanks also to all who brought goodies to satisfy our sweet tooth. Again, thanks to everyone who stayed and helped clean up after all were satisfied, including the youth. Divine Mercy Sunday Today, Sunday, there will be a Holy Hour for the Divine Mercy Devotion from 2:30 to 3:30 pm. The sacrament of confession will be offered during the Holy Hour. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.

PHÚC ÂM: Ga 20, 19- Tám ngày sau Chúa Giêsu hiện đến". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Vào buổi chiều ngày thứ nhất trong tuần, những cửa nhà các môn đệ họp đều đóng kín, vì sợ người Do-thái, Chúa Giêsu hiện đến, đứng giữa các ông và nói rằng: "Bình an cho các con". Khi nói điều đó, Người cho các ông xem tay và cạnh sườn Người. Bấy giờ các môn đệ vui mừng vì xem thấy Chúa. Chúa Giêsu lại phán bảo các ông rằng: "Bình an cho các con. Như Cha đã sai Thầy, Thầy cũng sai các con". Nói thế rồi, Người thổi hơi và phán bảo các ông: "Các con hãy nhận lấy Thánh Thần, các con tha tội ai, thì tội người ấy được tha. Các con cầm tội ai, thì tội người ấy bị cầm lại". Bấy giờ trong Mười hai Tông đồ, có ông Tôma gọi là Điđymô, không cùng ở với các ông, khi Chúa Giêsu hiện đến. Các môn đệ khác đã nói với ông rằng: "Chúng tôi đã xem thấy Chúa". Nhưng ông đã nói với các ông kia rằng: "Nếu tôi không nhìn thấy vết đinh ở tay Người, nếu tôi không thọc ngón tay vào lỗ đinh, nếu tôi không thọc bàn tay vào cạnh sườn Người, thì tôi không tin". Tám ngày sau, các môn đệ lại họp nhau trong nhà và có Tôma ở với các ông. Trong khi các cửa vẫn đóng kín, Chúa Giêsu hiện đến đứng giữa mà phán: "Bình an cho các con". Đoạn Người nói với Tôma: "Hãy xỏ ngón tay con vào đây, và hãy xem tay Thầy; hãy đưa bàn tay con ra và xỏ vào cạnh sườn Thầy; chớ cứng lòng, nhưng hãy tin". Tôma thưa rằng: "Lạy Chúa con, lạy Thiên Chúa của con!" Chúa Giêsu nói với ông: "Tôma, vì con đã xem thấy Thầy, nên con đã tin. Phúc cho những ai đã không thấy mà tin". Chúa Giêsu còn làm nhiều phép lạ khác trước mặt các môn đệ, và không có ghi chép trong sách này. Nhưng các điều này đã được ghi chép để anh em tin rằng Chúa Giêsu là Đấng Kitô, Con Thiên Chúa, và để anh em tin mà được sống nhờ danh Người. Đó là lời Chúa.

7 SEGUNDO DOMINGO de PASCUA (DOMINGO de la DIVINA MISERICORDIA) 7 La Hora De la Divina Misericordia Domingo 12 de Abril Desde las 2:30 pm hasta las 3:30 pm se llevara a cabo la hora de la divina misericordia. 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.
