SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER – DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

 

            Today is the 2nd Sunday of Easter also known as “Divine Mercy Sunday.”  The message of the Divine Mercy is quite clear.  It is that God loves us.  For He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others.

            What are we to do?

1.      Ask for God’s mercy.  God wants us to approach Him constantly in prayer.

2.      Be merciful.  He wants us to extend love & forgiveness to others just as He does to us.

3.      Trust in Jesus completely.  God wants us to know that the more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive His grace.

This message and devotion to Jesus, as the Divine Mercy, is based on the writings of  Sister Saint Faustina Kowalska, who wrote a diary, recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy.  Therefore each day, spend time in learning more about the mercy of God, trust in Jesus and live your life as Christ is merciful to you – saying Jesus, I trust in you!

 

Our annual Solemn Eucharistic Celebration (known as “40 Hours Devotions) will be held on one day, next Sunday, April 6th.  It will begin after our 10:30 a.m. Mass.  The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed upon the altar all day Sunday until the closing service at 5 p.m.  At that ime we will have the sung Vespers, followed by homily, litany, procession and Benediction.

Please plan on spending some time before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer and adoration and/or please come at 5 p.m. for the closing service.
