A plenary indulgence under the usual conditions is granted this day to those who take part in the
prayers and devotions held in honor of the Divine
Mercy; or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or in the tabernacle, recite one Our
Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the
merciful Lord Jesus. Those who for a just cause
cannot go to a church can gain the same indulgence
by reciting an Our Father and the Creed and a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus before an
image of the Divine Mercy.

priest.
The Carmelite Monastery is located at 6138 Gallup St. in
Littleton, about 1 mile from OLMC.
From the Pastor:
- The holy hour for this Thursday is for Catholics who do not receive Holy Communion might come back to
the Church.
- A small housekeeping point; if you are standing in line for confession, would you be so kind as to not put
your shoes up on the wall? It makes the drywall quite hard to clean. If you do stand with a foot up on the
wall, please consider cleaning the wall.
- A number of convert instruction recordings are now available on the parish website. Go to Parish Resources, scroll down a few and you'll find them under Adult Convert Instructions. You can download them or
listen on the computer. If we have any potential converts who want to start them, please contact one of the
priests for the questioning, which is explained in the Introduction. There are many more of these to come – I
try to record a lesson once a day.
Dom Mark Kirby, O.S.B. had the following quote from the 1910 diary of Pieter van der Meer de Walcheren.
"The liturgy is a holy magnificence. I am well aware that it is absurd to speak words of admiration. All too
evident is the beauty of this worship that expresses the inexpressible and causes the pure splendor of a flame
to burn upright and bright in life’s blackness. Art is so superficial and poor; it appears so empty next to these
sublime chants, next to these biblical words chanted, next to these holy texts, next to these prayers of mourning, these poems of extreme joy! I still hear the chant of the end of Lauds: Christus factus est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis; to which is added on the third night; propter quod et Deus
exaltavit illum et dedit illi nomen quod est super omne nomen. The music of it, the slow, plaintive, desperate
music laden with every sorrow and with every mystery! How shall I ever forget the Lamentations of Jeremiah at the first Nocturn of Tenebrae? And the Ecce lignum crucis of Friday . . . ? And the Reproaches, divine
reproaches of a crucified God to his people?
On Holy Saturday the new fire is kindled. The priest, advancing slowly towards the altar, sings the thricerepeated words at equal intervals: Lumen Christi, each time on a higher tone; and the light increases until it
becomes an immense interior fire. One senses in one’s soul a tangible deliverance. Where can one find a
thing more lovely, more sublime than the chant of the Exultet jam angelica turba caelorum, in which, by the
words and by the music, the desire of an incommensurable joy lifts itself up and erects a kind of rainbow
stretching from earth to heaven? And the Preface that follows, with its sublime cries: O certe necessarium
Adae peccatum!. . . O felix culpa!. . . Oh, to be able to believe, to be unshakably certain that this is not an
empty spectacle, not a beautiful dream, but signs and symbols which are but the reflection of an inexpressible
divine reality. I am shaken in the very depths of my soul. Illusion and appearance could never make me
weep like this. I sense that behind all that I see and hear are luminous roads leading towards God."
- Mr. van der Meer de Walcheren converted to the Catholic Faith shortly after he wrote this.
- For those who missed Tenebrae, and the full rites of the Triduum, perhaps you might be able to make them
next year.
- This from the Archbishop: "Archbishop Aquila joins your priests and the parish staff in wishing you and
your loved ones a blessed and hope-filled Easter. Together, let's spread the Easter message of hope to others
especially those most in need – through a gift to the 2015 Archbishop's Catholic Appeal."
