THE CORNER APR 8 2018 Divine Mercy Sunday In 1931, the memories of World War I were still very much alive in the minds of Europeans when, in Poland, Sr. Faustina Kowalska is said to have been personally visited by Jesus. According to her diary, an image was revealed to her of the risen Lord, from whose heart shone two rays, one red (representing blood) and the other pale (symbolizing water), with the words Jesus, I trust in you at the bottom. Faustina wrote in her diary that Jesus told her, I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. When she was canonized in 2000 under the direction of fellow countryman Pope John Paul II, he proclaimed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday, thereby widely promoting the devotional practices associated with Faustina s visions, already popular in many communities. Among the practices associated with the devotion are its novena, the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy (a series of prayers organized similarly to a rosary), the Hour of Great Mercy (a time of prayer traditionally celebrated at 3 PM), and the plenary indulgence granted to those who receive the Eucharist and celebrate reconciliation on Divine Mercy Sunday. The celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday is an opportunity to reflect on the theme of how God s mercy can overcome sin and, as the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments states, a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trials that mankind will experience. Here at St. Cecilia, we will offer God s divine mercy by making available the Sacrament of Reconciliation before all daily Masses and weekend Masses, and we will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet right after the 10:00 Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday, so please stay and join us for this beautiful devotion. We will also have Doughnut Sunday in the commons, and our Moms Group is hosting an Easter egg hunt for their little ones in the side yard. Amen? Amen!

When he first sees the Twelve after his Resurrection, Jesus is insistent in his message. In fact, the Gospel records him saying, Peace be with you, no less than three times during these initial encounters. Those are powerful words. Today Jesus the Incarnate Word of God speaks the same words to each of us. Jesus Resurrection is our source of true peace. It is the sign of God s definitive victory over sin and the triumph of life over death. That s why Jesus ties together in this passage his outpouring of peace and his command to forgive sins. All that God worked out through the Paschal mystery of Jesus opens the way for each of us to be restored to life with him. Living in union with God is living a life that is truly peaceful, because his grace is the firm foundation, not our own efforts. On this Divine Mercy Sunday we implore God in his goodness to have mercy on us and on the whole world. We seek this peace that only God can provide for ourselves and for those around us - those who believe and those who don t. Our reflection on all that God has done for us ought to lead us towards a stronger desire to not only receive God s mercy, but also to be merciful to others. Young Adult Mass & Brunch This Sunday, April 8 Saint Cecilia 10 AM Mass Followed by brunch at Teller s of Hyde Park. Join us! Credo (I Believe) A Day of Mercy and Pardon Celebrating and naming the Octave Day of Easter (Second Sunday of Easter) Divine Mercy Sunday recovers an ancient tradition that is reflected in a teaching attributed to St. Augustine about the Easter Octave, which he called the days of mercy and pardon. Liturgically, the prayers and readings for this Sunday have always been centered on the theme of Divine mercy and forgiveness. This final day of the octave of Easter points us to the merciful love of God that lies behind the whole Paschal Mystery the whole mystery of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ made present for us in the Eucharist. As Pope St. John Paul II pointed out in his Regina Caeli address in 1995: the whole octave of Easter is like a single day, and the Octave Sunday is meant to be the day of thanksgiving for the goodness God has shown to man in the whole Easter mystery. So the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday is actually celebrating the culmination of Jesus merciful love for us that shines through from His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, the Easter Mystery. Why not plan to stop at St. Cecilia Church this Sunday, April 8, for the Divine Mercy Chaplet after the 10 AM Mass to celebrate this feast and to gain a plenary indulgence! For more info on Divine Mercy, visit: www.ewtn.com/devotionals/mercy/image or www.divinemercy.com. For the month of April, Pope Francis asks that we pray that economists may have the courage to reject any economy of exclusion and know how to open new paths. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Luke 6:36
