Divine Mercy Sunday

Dear brothers and sisters,

CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

“I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day, the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.”

These are the words of Jesus to Sister Faus"na to explain the importance of Divine Mercy. We just celebrated the beginning of the East- er Season with the Paschal Mystery of Jesus Christ death and resurrec"on at the center. We are in the Octave of Easter, in which the Church keeps for 8 days celebra"ng as if it was one day the Resurrec"on. And this 8 days culminate with the celebra"on of Divine Mer- cy. We have been redeemed and saved out of Mercy. God did not have to give us life and happiness, it is because of His mercy that we are enjoying life and happiness. We celebrate that Heaven opens once more for us, inspire of our sins and rebellions. And this is the heart of Divine Mercy. I hope you will partake in the Divine Mercy Chaplet on Sunday at 10:10 am in English and a#er 12:30 mass in Spanish.

Also, the Fes"val is fast approaching, I encourage you to keep dona"ng things for the Fes"val and to buy the advanced "cket rides. The Knights of Columbus are going to have a Spaghe$ dinner on May 3. If we sell the 100 "ckets we have, 60% will go the parish. It is a wonderful occasion to spend "me together.

Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

¡CRISTO HA RESUCITADO! ¡VERDADERAMENTE HA RESUCITADO!

“Deseo que la Fiesta de la Misericordia sea un refugio y refugio para todas las almas, y especialmente para los pobres pecadores. En ese día, las profundidades de Mi "erna misericordia están abiertas. Derramo todo un océano de gracias sobre aquellas almas que se acer- can a la fuente de Mi misericordia. El alma que vaya a la Confesión y reciba la Sagrada Comunión obtendrá el perdón completo de los pecados y el cas"go. En ese día se abren todas las compuertas divinas a través de las cuales fluye la gracia. Que ninguna alma tenga miedo de acercarse a Mí, aunque sus pecados sean tan escarlata.”

Estas son las palabras de Jesús a Sor Faus"na para explicar la importancia de la Divina Misericordia. Acabamos de celebrar el comienzo de la temporada de Pascua con el misterio pascual de Jesucristo, la muerte y la resurrección en el centro. Estamos en la Octava de Pas- cua, en la cual la Iglesia se man"ene durante 8 días celebrando como si fuera un día la Resurrección. Y estos 8 días culminan con la celebración de la Divina Misericordia. Hemos sido redimidos y salvados de la Misericordia. Dios no tuvo que darnos vida y felicidad, es debido a Su misericordia que estamos disfrutando de la vida y la felicidad. Celebramos que el cielo se abra una vez más para nosotros, inspirado por nuestros pecados y rebeliones. Y este es el corazón de la Divina Misericordia. Espero que par"cipes en la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia el domingo a las 10:10 am en inglés y después de la misa de 12:30 en español.

Además, el Fes"val se está acercando rápidamente, lo aliento a que siga donando cosas para el Fes"val y compre los boletos avanza- dos. Los Caballeros de Colón tendrán una cena de Spaghe$ el 3 de mayo. Si vendemos los 100 boletos que tenemos, el 60% irá a la parroquia. Es una ocasión maravillosa para pasar "empo juntos.

San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!

Queridos irmãos e irmãs,

CRISTO RESSUSCITOU! ELE É REALMENTE RESSUSCITADO!

“Eu desejo que a Festa da Misericórdia seja um refúgio e abrigo para todas as almas e especialmente para os pobres pecadores.

Naquele dia, as profundezas da Minha terna misericórdia estão abertas. Despejo todo um oceano de graças sobre aquelas almas que se aproximam da fonte da Minha misericórdia. A alma que irá para a Confissão e receberá a Sagrada Comunhão obterá o perdão

completo dos pecados e punição. Naquele dia, todas as comportas divinas através das quais o fluxo da graça é aberto. Não deixe que nenhuma alma tenha medo de se aproximar de Mim, mesmo que seus pecados sejam tão escarlates.”

Estas são as palavras de Jesus para a irmã Faus"na para explicar a importância da Divina Misericórdia. Acabamos de celebrar o início da época pascal com o mistério pascal da morte e ressurreição de Jesus Cristo no centro. Estamos na Oitava da Páscoa, na qual a Igreja se mantém por 8 dias celebrando como se fosse um dia a Ressurreição. E esses 8 dias culminam com a celebração da Divina Misericórdia.

Nós fomos redimidos e salvos da Misericórdia. Deus não tem que nos dar vida e felicidade, é por causa de Sua misericórdia que estamos desfrutando de vida e felicidade. Celebramos que o Céu se abre uma vez mais para nós, inspirando nossos pecados e

rebeliões. E este é o coração da Divina Misericórdia. Espero que você par"cipe do Chaplet da Divina Misericórdia no domingo às 10h10 em inglês e depois das 12h30 em espanhol.

Além disso, o Fes"val está se aproximando, eu o encorajo a con"nuar doando coisas para o Fes"val e a comprar os ingressos

avançados. Os Cavaleiros de Colombo vão fazer um jantar de espaguete no dia 3 de maio. Se vendermos os 100 ingressos que temos, 60% irão para a paróquia. É uma ocasião maravilhosa para passar tempo juntos.

São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!

Fr. Francisco

“Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiv- en. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful.” James 5:14-16

Bishop's Weekly Bible Reflection on Stewardship

April 2 8, 2019

“ Jesus said to them again, ’ Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. ’” ⁽ John 20:21) Peace– the first giſt of the risen Lord. Just as Jesus sent the apostles out into the world, so too, He sends us. As disciples

of Jesus, we are called to be g$atef%l and generous. Look for oppor&%nities to share His peace, not only within our parish boundaries, but outside of them as well. In giving, we receive

the peace of Jesus Christ.
