1 Archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy Parish Served by the Society of Christ Fathers Our church is Baltimore s Premier Polish-American Roman Catholic parish and has become the center of Polish religious, cultural, and social life. Our parish is a place where Polish values are proclaimed and upheld and also a place where Poles and non-poles can fullu express their fidelity to God. We are not in any sense a closed community. We welcome all Americans and all ethnic groups in our church. A key Polish value is openness to the universal mission of the Church, and thus we try to make our church which is also the Archdiocesan Shrine of Divine Mercy a place in which our friends and neighbors of non-polish background can feel comfortable practicing their Catholic faith.

4 GOD'S INCREDIBLE GIFT OF LOVE FOR THE WORLD What does Scripture tell us about God and how he relates to us? our lives to his will. Faith is the key that opens the door to When God met with Moses on Mount Sinai and made a Christ and to his healing power in our lives. But for faith to be covenant with the people of Israel, he revealed the nature of his effective we must act and do our part. That is why faith requires character and his personal love for them: "The LORD passed repentance and obedience - turning away from unbelief and before him, and proclaimed, "The LORD, a God merciful and disobedience - and turning to the Lord with a believing heart gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy and and listening ear. That is why Jesus said, "whoever believes in faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). me is not condemned" (John 3:18). God is all-loving, faithful, merciful, and forgiving by nature. To believe that Jesus is the only Son of God who died for our God's love is supreme because it directs, orders, and shapes sins is the key that opens the door to his presence and work in everything he does. our lives. Jesus said, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If LOVE AND JUDGMENT Scripture tells us that God is all just anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and and all loving. How does his love and justice go together? God eat with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). The Lord Jesus opposes sin and evil with his just wrath (his righteous anger) and knocks at the door of your heart - will you listen today and open right judgment - & he approaches sinful people and evil doers at once? with mercy ("slow to anger" and "ready to forgive") & discipline TRIUNE NATURE OF GOD The Lord Jesus has revealed to ("fatherly correction" and "training in righteousness"). John the his disciples the great mystery of our faith - the triune nature of Evangelist tells us that the Father sent his Son into the world - God and the inseparable union of the eternal Father, Son, and not to condemn but to redeem - not to destroy but to heal and Holy Spirit. Jesus' mission is to reveal the glory of God to us - a restore. Paul the Apostle tells us that "the wages of sin is death, Trinity of persons - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - and but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our to unite us with God in a community of love. The ultimate end, Lord" (Romans 6:23). God does not desire the death of anyone the purpose for which God created us, is the entry of God's (Ezekiel 18:23,32, Ezekiel 33:11, Wisdom of Solomon 1:13). Instead he creatures into the perfect unity of the blessed Trinity. gives us the freedom to choose between life and death - good The Jews understood God as Creator and Father of all that he and evil. made (Deuteronomy 32:6) and they understood the nation of Israel When we choose to sin and to go our own way apart from God, as God's firstborn son (Exodus 4:22). Jesus reveals the Father in we bring condemnation upon ourselves. Sin draws us away from an unheard of sense. He is eternally Father by his relationship to God and leads to a spiritual death - a death that is worse than his only Son, who, reciprocally, is Son only in relation to his physical loss of life because it results in a hopeless life of misery Father (see Matthew 11:27). The Spirit, likewise, is inseparably one and separation from God's peace and joy. Jesus was sent on a with the Father and the Son. rescue mission to free us from slavery to sin and death and to The mission of Jesus and of the Holy Spirit are the same. That is bring us the abundant life which will never end. His death why Jesus tells his disciples that the Spirit will reveal the glory of brought us true freedom and abundant new life in his Spirit - as the Father and the Son and will speak what is true. Before his well as pardon, reconciliation and adoption as sons and Passover, Jesus revealed the Holy Spirit as the "Paraclete" and daughters of God. Helper who will be with Jesus' disciples to teach and guide them Jesus took upon himself all of our sins and nailed them to the "into all the truth" (John 14:17,26; 16:13). In baptism we are called cross (Colossians 2:14). His death was an atoning sacrifice for our to share in the life of the Holy Trinity here on earth in faith and sins and a perfect offering to the Father on our behalf. We can after death in eternal light. Clement of Alexandria, a third find no greater proof of God's love for fallen sinful humanity century church father, wrote: "What an astonishing mystery! than the cross of Jesus Christ. "To ransom a slave God gave There is one Father of the universe, one Logos (Word) of the away his Son" (from an early Christian hymn for the Easter vigil universe, and also one Holy Spirit, everywhere one and the liturgy). Jesus' mission was motivated by love and obedience. same; there is also one virgin become mother, and I should like That is why he willingly laid down his life for us. Jesus told his to call her 'Church'." disciples that there is no greater love than for a person to willingly lay down his or her life for a friend (John 15:13). Jesus loved our understanding and experience of God the Father, Son, and WE CAN KNOW GOD PERSONALLY How can we grow in us first - even while we were captives to sin and Satan - in order Holy Spirit? It is the Holy Spirit who reveals the Father and the to set us free and make us friends and beloved children of God. Son to us and who gives us the gift of faith to know and understand the truth of God s word. Through baptism we BELIEVING IN THE SON OF GOD Do you believe that Jesus receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Lord renews the gift of personally died for you - for you alone - simply because he the Spirit in each one of us as we open our hearts with loved you? Scripture tells us that God knew each one of us even expectant faith and yield to his work in our lives. Jesus promised before we were knit in our mother's womb (Psalm 139:13, Jeremiah his disciples that he would send them the Spirit of truth who 1:5). We were created for a purpose - to be united with God and would be their Teacher and Guide. Ask the Lord Jesus to renew to share in his love and glory now and forever. Augustine of in you the gift of the Holy Spirit who strengthens us in the Hippo wrote: "God loves each one of us as if there were only seven-fold gifts of wisdom and understanding, right judgment one of us to love." God's love is complete and perfect because it and courage, knowledge and reverence, and holy fear in God's is wholly directed towards our greatest good - to make us whole presence (Isaiah 11:2-3). and to unite us in a perfect bond of love and peace. That is why "May the Lord Jesus put his hands on our eyes also, for then we God was willing to go to any length necessary to save us from too shall begin to look not at what is seen but at what is not slavery to sin and death.god's love has power to set each one of seen.
