The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered. The Good Friday Collection Explained (Very Important): Once a year the Universal Catholic community takes up a collection for the Holy Land. To a large extent, the Holy Land is an abstract idea for many; our Christian Holy Land is very real. If you have never been, you must visit on a dedicated Catholic Pilgrimage (not a commercial tour). Your faith will come alive in ways you never expected. What makes up the identity of our Christian Holy Land is (1) the Catholic community who have been keeping the faith since the very first Eucharist, and (2) the Churches standing on all locations where Christ ministered here on Earth, literally. Your contribution to this collection is needed more than ever. What our Christian Holy Land is enduring especially in terms of political pressures is enormous. Did you know that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (the location Jesus was buried and Resurrected) closed its' doors for THREE days this past February 2018 in protest of the treatment the Church is enduring? The threat is real and the least we, as Catholics worldwide, can do is pray and alleviate the financial burden our Church in the Holy Land is enduring as a result of the limited resources in the region. Please give generously. This collection represents the single largest source of operating income for the Franciscans who care for so many of our Holy Sites. Divine Mercy Novena: At the church entrance you will find information concerning the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the Divine Mercy Novena and Divine Mercy Sunday. Please pick up your copy. The Novena begins on Good Friday and continues until Divine Mercy Sunday, April 8 th. Lenten Reflection on Divine Mercy The parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk. 10:30-37) again shows us how we are to act in mercy. A man is physically assaulted by robbers and left seriously wounded, possibly dying. Both a priest and Levite passes him by, not wanting to become involved with his plight. But a despised Samaritan comes along and has compassion on the injured man. He cares for the man s injuries, takes the man to an inn, gives him further care, gives the innkeeper money for further assistance, and promises to pay for additional expenses. The Samaritan is totally focused other man s welfare. The Samaritan is a model for us of mercy in action. 2
