Today, Holy Week begins around the world. We will experience the most beautiful of our Sacred Liturgies in the Catholic Church this week. Monday, we celebrate the Chrism Mass at 7:30 PM at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen where Archbishop Lori will bless and consecrate the oils to be used for all of the Sacraments in the church this year Oil of the Sick, Oil of Catechumen and Chrism. All of the priests and deacons gather around the Archbishop for this celebration, with thousands of the faithful, while we, priests, renew our priestly promises. Holy Thursday sees the washing of the feet, the Institution of the Eucharist and Priesthood at the Mass Thursday Evening; Good Friday takes us to the Cross as we hear the passion proclaimed, venerate the wood of the Cross and receive Holy Communion. Good Friday is the only day of the year when we do not celebrate Mass. As we await the Resurrection on Holy Saturday we celebrate, that night, the Easter Vigil where we light the new fire (at our fire pit!) recount the story of salvation from Scripture and welcome people into the Catholic Church through Confirmation and Eucharist. Sadly, many people never make the time to join us for these liturgies because of not understanding their importance or being too busy. Please take a moment to come to Church on Holy Thursday, Good Friday or Holy Saturday. Consult the schedule mailed to you. If you can join us at the Cathedral on Monday you will be awed and moved. Renew your faith and experience Christ in these beautiful moments! Fr. Jerry Francik I had a surprise phone call from Father Eveneau yesterday. It wasn t a surprise to get a call as he calls often enough; it was a surprise that the call was clear and we talked for over 5 minutes without getting disconnected! Father E wanted to convey to us that he joins us in prayer for Cardinal Keeler who was the driving force behind the partnership between the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Archdiocese of Gonaives in Haiti with Deacon Mortel. Through the Mortel Foundation, Good Samaritans School opened in July, 2001, with a dedication ceremony and benediction by His Eminence, William Cardinal Keeler, Archbishop Emeritus of Baltimore. As Father Eveneau said Cardinal Keeler was a very good friend of the people of Haiti. I couldn t agree more! With less than a week left in our Buy a Bag of Rice Lenten mission, through your generosity, we have collected almost $12,000 toward our goal of $20,000 to help provide healthy lunches for the children of St. Joseph, LaLomas for the remainder of the school year. Although we will continue to collect for this Lenten mission only through Wednesday, April 12, donations can be made to Haiti any time throughout the year! Also, again through money donated to the Annual Appeal, St. Mark, along with the other 3 US parishes that partner with St. Joseph, will be able to help Father Eveneau purchase books for the children for the school year. This is the 2 nd year we have been able to help with books; Father Eveneau and the teachers are so very appreciative! ~Sheila Bateman

6 THE MESSAGE The Message of Divine Mercy is that God is merciful. He is love itself poured out for us, and He wants no one to escape that merciful love. The message is that God wants us to turn to Him with trust and repentance while it is still a time of mercy, before He comes as the just Judge. This turning with trust to Him who is Mercy itself is the only source of peace for mankind. Turning to and imploring God s mercy is the answer to the troubled world. There is no escaping that answer. THE RESPONSE OF TRUST AND CONVERSION What God most wants of us is to turn to Him with trust. And the first act of trust is: receive His mercy. To trust God is to rely on Him who is mercy itself. The Lord wants us to live with trust in Him in all circumstances. We trust Him because He is God, and He loves us and cares for us. His mercy is always available to us, no matter what we have done or what state we are in, even if our sins are as black as night, and we are filled with fears and anxieties. The greater the sinner, the greater the right he has to my mercy (Diary 723) But there is more we can do. As Catholics, as Christians, we can go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and be reconciled to God and to man. The Lord wants us to live reconciled with Him and one another. THE RESPONSE OF MERCY TOWARD OTHERS Not only are we to receive His mercy, but we are to use it, by being merciful to others by our actions, by our words, and by our prayers; in other words by practicing the Corporal and Spiritual works of Mercy. THE MESSAGE of DIVINE MERCY: TRUST and MERCY The Corporal Works of Mercy are feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, sheltering the travelers, comforting the prisoners, visiting the sick, and burying the dead. The Spiritual Works of Mercy include teaching the ignorant, praying for the living and dead, correct the sinners, counseling those in doubt, consoling the sorrowful, bearing wrongs patiently, and forgiving wrongs willingly. IT S SCRIPTURAL The message of mercy is the content and the challenge of Sacred Scripture. In the Hebrew Bible we see a God of mercy who calls His people to be merciful. In the New Testament Jesus exhorts us: Be merciful even as your Father is merciful (Lk 6:36 RSV). He sets the highest goal for us and expects us to obtain it by His merciful love: Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy (Mt 5:7 RSV). When He comes again, He will judge us on our mercy toward one another: Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me (Mt. 25:40). IT S THE CURRENT TEACHING OF POPE JOHN PAUL II: The message of The Divine Mercy - Jesus Himself - is at the heart of the gospel. The message of mercy presents the truth and the call of the gospel to our present age. This message of mercy is proclaimed by Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical Rich in Mercy, as the message for our age....the Church must consider it one of her principle duties - at every stage of history and especially in our modern age - to proclaim and to introduce into life the mystery of mercy, supremely revealed in Jesus Christ (14). MERCY - THE MESSAGE AND RESPONSE THROUGH THE AGES The message and response of mercy is not something new. In the past God spoke a message of mercy through the patriarchs and prophets - through Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah and many others. In the last days God has spoken to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, who is Mercy personified and incarnated. God continues to speak a word of mercy even to our generation, through the Church and its shepherds, and through Holy men and women - mystics - whom God has chosen as His vessels. In our century He revealed Himself to Sister Faustina, a simple and holy nun in Poland during the 1930 s. He called her to be His secretary and His apostle of mercy. He spoke to her of His mercy and the way He wants us to respond to it. DEVOTION TO THE DIVINE MERCY Our Lord not only taught Sister Faustina the fundamentals of trust, and of mercy to others, but He also revealed special ways to live out the response to His mercy. These we call the devotion to The Divine Mercy. The word devotion means fulfilling our vows. It is a commitment of our lives to the Lord who is Mercy itself. By giving our lives to The Divine Mercy - Jesus Christ Himself - we become instruments of His mercy to others, and so we can live out the command of the Lord: Be merciful even as your Father is merciful (Lk 6:36 RSV). Through Sister Faustina, Our Lord gave us special means of drawing on His mercy; an Image of The Divine Mercy, a Chaplet of The Divine Mercy, a Feast of Mercy, a novena, and prayer at the 3:00 o clock hour - the hour of His death. These special means are in addition to the Sacraments of Eucharist and Reconciliation which have been given to the Church. THE IMAGE OF THE DIVINE MERCY Jesus appeared to Sister Faustina with rays of red and pale light streaming from the area around His heart. His hand was raised in blessing, recalling the scene of Easter Sunday night (see John 20: 19-23). He asked Sister Faustina to have this vision painted along with the words, Jesus, I Trust in You!.

7 He presented this image to remind people to trust in His mercy, and to come to Him for mercy: 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). Jesus explained that the rays represented the blood and water which flowed from His pierced side and taught Sister Faustina the prayer: O blood and water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in you (Diary 84) THE CHAPLET OF THE DIVINE MERCY Our Lord taught Sister Faustina a prayer for mercy that she was to pray unceasingly. He told her that by praying in this way her prayers would have great power for the conversion of sinners, for peace for the dying, and even for controlling nature. We too can pray this chaplet, using ordinary rosary beads of five decades. We begin with the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Creed. Then, on the large beads we pray: Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. On the small beads we pray: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. And at the end, we pray three times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. THE FEAST OF THE DIVINE MERCY Our Lord asked Sister Faustina to pray and work towards establishing a Feast of The Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter, He told her: On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession (eight days before or after) and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment (Diary 699) It is a day that would celebrate the paschal mystery with a focus on God s covenant of mercy. It would be a day of complete forgiveness and pardon, like the day of atonement in the Old Testament (see Lv 16) - all our sins and the punishment due to them would be atoned for. We can already celebrate this Mercy Sunday by going to Confession (eight days before or after) and Communion on that day. We can honor the mercy of the Lord by our prayers and works of mercy. THE NOVENA BEFORE THE FEAST In preparation for the Feast of The Divine Mercy, the Lord asked Sister Faustina to make a novena of prayer from Good Friday to the following Saturday. These nine days of prayer (the word novena means nine) before the Feast of Mercy are like the nine days of prayer in the upper room before the day of Pentecost: (see Acts 1:14). For each of the nine days, our Lord gave Sister Faustina a different intention: all mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in Him and those who do not yet know Him; the souls of the separated brethren; the meek and humble souls and the souls of the little children; the souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained in purgatory; souls who have become lukewarm. I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fount of My Mercy, that they may draw therefrom strength and refreshment and whatever grace they have need of in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death (Diary 1209). We, too, can make a novena of prayer for these intentions and others, especially by praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. THE THREE O CLOCK HOUR In his revelations to Sister Faustina, Jesus asked for special, daily remembrance at 3:00 o clock, the very hour He died for us on the cross: At three o clock, implore My mercy, especially for sinners; and if only for a brief moment, immerse yourself in My Passion, particularly in My abandonment at the moment of agony: This is the hour of great mercy for the whole world. I will allow you to enter into My mortal sorrow. In this hour, I will refuse nothing to the soul that makes a request of Me in virtue of My Passion (Diary 1320). At 3:00 o clock we can pray: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelope the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us (Diary 1319). O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You (Diary 84). THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF SISTER FAUSTINA The spiritual life of Sister Faustina was based on her humility and her obedience to the will of God. On this foundation the structure of her spiritual life was formed - devotion to the Eucharist, Confession, Mary, Suffering and Intercession. PEACE The only source of peace in our troubled would is the mercy of God. The Lord made it clear to us through Sister Faustina: Mankind will have no peace until it turns with trust to my mercy! (Diary 300). The essence of the message and the devotion to The Divine Mercy is: TRUST and MERCY. In the words given to Sister Faustina: Jesus, I trust in you! In the words of Jesus in the gospel: Be merciful even as your Father is merciful (Lk 6:36 RSV). The Marian Helpers Center, through the Marian Press, has developed extensive material that expands on this message of Divine Mercy, including the TV cassette and 16mm film of the motion picture Divine Mercy - No Escape, as well as books, pamphlets and reproductions of the Sacred Image of The Divine Mercy. All these and others are available from: The Divine Mercy Department Marian Helpers Center Stockbridge, MA MDS 7-255
