DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

Dear Parishioners,

As an Easter people we continue to celebrate the Good News of Jesus’ Resurrection— today, we celebrate God’s unparalleled mercy. Today is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. In the Acts of the Apostles, we witness the life-changing difference Jesus’ Death and Resurrection made for the first Christian community. They no longer cling to things they thought would bring them security—possessions, wealth, status, proof. When they received Jesus’ blessings of Peace from His own breath, saw the nail marks with their own eyes, and touched His wounds with their own hands, everything changed. Now, their mouths would carry Christ’s message of mercy to the ends of the earth. Their eyes would see one another differently. Their hands would heal and forgive, and they would be believed because they were “of one heart and mind.” Because of that community who committed their lives to one another in Christ, here we are. Because of us and how we commit ourselves to live together of one heart and mind in Jesus, others may also come to believe. For we belong to one another because all belong to Christ.

The second collection this weekend is for the Building Maintenance Fund.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be this Wednesday, April 10th . Adoration begins at 1:00 P.M. and concludes with Benediction at 6:00 P.M. Please make every effort to spend one (1) hour with our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration.

Have a Blessed Easter Week!
