Paul, Francis Williams & Raymond Rossi Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) April 8, 2018 Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:5 * SO THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE It is not often that the author of one of the books of the Bible comes right out and tells us directly why he is writing what he is writing. In this Sunday s Gospel reading, taken from the conclusion of John s Gospel, the author tells us that he has chosen to record these events so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name (20:31). The letter of John echoes this idea by saying that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God (5:1) what we might refer to as being born again. Our reading from the Acts of the Apostles for this Second Sunday of Easter shows us exactly what it looks like when believers are born again through faith. * READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Is 7:10-14; 8:10; Ps 40:7-11; Heb 10:4-10; Tuesday: Lk 1:26-38 Acts 4:32-37; Ps 93:1-2, 5; Jn 3:7b-15 Wednesday: Acts 5:17-26; Ps 34:2-9; Jn 3:16-21 Thursday: Acts 5:27-33; Ps 34:2, 9, 17-20; Jn 3:31-36 Friday: Acts 5:34-42; Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14; Jn 6:1-15 Saturday: Acts 6:1-7; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19; Jn 6:16-21 Sunday: Acts 3:13-15, 17-19; Ps 4:2, 4, 7-9; 1 Jn 2:1-5a; Lk 24:35-48 * Sanctuary Lamp for the Weekend of April 7-8 will burn in memory of Anthony Ghelfi as requested by the His Wife & Family. ****** Sanctuary Lamp for the Week of April 9 13 will burn in Thanksgiving for the health of Galati Family as requested by Maria Galati * Thinking of Remembering a Loved One?

Segundo Domingo de Pascua (Domingo de la Divina Misericordia) 8 de abril de 2018 Quién es el que vence al mundo? Sólo el que cree que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. 1 Juan 5:5 PARA QUE CREAS No sucede demasiado a menudo que el autor de uno de los libros de la Biblia se dirija directamente a nosotros para explicarnos por qué está escribiendo lo que está escribiendo. En la lectura del Evangelio de este domingo, que pertenece a la conclusión del Evangelio según san Juan, el autor nos dice que ha elegido escribir estos acontecimientos para que crean que Jesús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, y para que, creyendo, tengan vida en su Nombre (20:31). La carta de san Juan retoma esta idea diciendo que: todo el que cree que Jesús es el Cristo ha nacido de Dios (5:1); lo que llamaríamos nacer de nuevo. Nuestra lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este Segundo Domingo de Pascua nos muestra exactamente qué sucede cuando los creyentes nacen de nuevo por medio de la fe. Elaboracion de Rosarios El Grupo Guadalupano de St. Joseph invita a toda nuestra comunidad a participar en la elaboración de Rosarios. Los dias: 10, 17 y 24 de Abril. Hora: 5:00 P. M. a 9:00 P. M.
