Remember in Prayer
Our Stewardship
of Treasure
As members of the parish faith community, it is our
responsibility to remember both in concrete and
spiritual ways those who cannot celebrate with us each
week because they are ill. Those who are sick in turn,
remember all of us daily in their prayers and in their sufferings.

Grow in Appreciative Love of God’s Mercy
What’s the Divine Mercy devo on all about? It’s about doing for Jesus’ love for us in the Sacrament of Confession what
Eucharis c adora on has done for Jesus’ love for us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. With the Eucharis c, it wasn’t enough
for Jesus for us merely to know that he is really and substan ally present body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharist. Jesus
himself came into the world, and through appearances to mys cs and Eucharis c miracles, made clear his will that he wanted
us to celebrate that gi with Eucharis c adora on, with Holy Hours, with processions with Him in the streets and more.
Similarly, it’s not enough for us to know that Jesus has the power to forgive us our sins and does so through the Sacrament of
Penance. He wants us to express our love and apprecia on for it, because then, like with Eucharis c adora on, we will be
be er able to receive the infinite graces he wishes to give us through it. Toward both the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the
Sacrament of Mercy, many Catholics are cold. Many take these sacraments for granted and sadly seldom receive them. Others
receive them without passion. Jesus wants more. He wants us to grow in love of him loving us in this way. The Divine Mercy
Devo on allows us to show our love and apprecia on for this great gi of God’s merciful love and, as we do so, to be
transformed by Him so that we might become, like God, rich in mercy and as merciful as our heavenly Father in merciful.
Introducing Year of Mercy in a Vespers Service in the Va can, Pope Francis said, “Many ques on in their hearts: why a Jubilee
of Mercy today? Simply because the Church, in this me of great historical change, is called to offer more evident signs of
God’s presence and closeness. …This is a me for the Church to rediscover the meaning of the mission entrusted to her by the
Lord on the day of Easter: to be a sign and an instrument of the Father’s mercy (cf. Jn 20:21-23). For this reason, the Holy Year
must keep alive the desire to know how to welcome the numerous signs of the tenderness which God offers to the whole
world and, above all, to those who suffer, who are alone and abandoned, without hope of being pardoned or feeling the
Father’s love. A Holy Year to experience strongly within ourselves the joy of having been found by Jesus, the Good Shepherd
who has come in search of us because we were lost. A Jubilee to
receive the warmth of his love when he bears us upon his shoulders
and brings us back to the Father’s house. A year in which to be
touched by the Lord Jesus and to be transformed by his mercy, so
that we may become witnesses to mercy. Here, then, is the reason
for the Jubilee: because this is the me for mercy. It is the
favorable me to heal wounds, a me not to be weary of mee ng
all those who are wai ng to see and to touch with their hands the
signs of the closeness of God, a me to offer everyone the way of
forgiveness and reconcilia on.”
Once, speaking about Jesus’ three parables of the lost sheep, the
lost coin and the lost sons, Pope Francis said, “All three of these
parables speak of the joy of God. … The joy of God is forgiving! The
joy of God is forgiving!” he emphasized. “The whole Gospel, all of
Chris anity, is here!” He added, “Mercy is the true force that can
save man and the world. … and this is God’s joy!” Divine Mercy
Sunday is meant to be a day of great happiness flowing from our
experiencing this saving force of God’s forgiveness! The upcoming
Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy is likewise supposed to be a
great twelve months of joy. Jesus tells us in the Gospel, “Heaven
rejoices more for one sinner who repents” (Lk 15:7). Today’s feast
of Divine Mercy and the upcoming Jubilee Year of Mercy are meant
to be occasions on which we receive that heavenly gi of joy that
the Lord Jesus came to bring into the world so that through his
mercy his joy might be in us and our joy complete!

Ferdynanda, w dniach od 7 do 10 kwietnia br w sali parafialnej odbędzie się

A (SECOND) PANTOUM FOR THOMAS
Copyright 2016 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])
While Thomas answered, “My Lord, and my God,”
This wasn’t how at first the evening played,
When Christ’s disciples--his en re squad-Were in a room together, locked away.
In harder fact, he thought they might deceive.
Since he missed seeing Christ with his own eyes,
He said precisely, “I will not believe...”
In harder fact, he thought they did deceive,
And wanted proof his friends had not but lied.
He said precisely, “I will not believe…
Un l I put my hand into his side.”
He wanted proof his friends had not but lied,
And proof came one week later to the day.
He didn’t put his hand into Christ’s side,
But Christ appeared and let the offer play.
This wasn’t how at first the evening played,
For first, of course, dear Thomas wasn’t there
Together with his friends all locked away
When Christ appeared from seemingly thin air.
Yes, proof came one week later to the day,
When Jesus came again into their midst,
And Christ--to Thomas--let the offer play,
That Thomas’s mistrus ng might desist.
And since, of course, dear Thomas wasn’t there,
(But elsewhere on that first day of the week),
When Christ appeared from seemingly thin air,
His friends’ retelling of it rang oblique.
When Jesus came again into their midst,
He told his friend to touch his side and see,
That Thomas’s mistrus ng might desist,
And that he might instead, believing be.
Yes, elsewhere on that first day of the week,
He found the news they gave him a surprise.
His friends’ retelling of it rang oblique
Since he missed seeing Christ with his own eyes.
He told his friend to touch his side and see
(When Thomas joined the whole en re squad)
That he might then, instead, believing be.
And Thomas answered, “My Lord, and my God!”
He found the news they gave him a surprise;
