SHARINGS FROM THE PASTOR
The observance of Divine Mercy Sunday this year is enhanced by its occurring during the Year of Mercy that
Pope Francis declared for this year.
Obviously, every liturgical year highlights Holy Week,
and especially the Triduum when we celebrate the actions
of God’s mercy that extend over the Celebration of the
Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, through the Solemn
Celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, and
culminating in the Easter Vigil when the triumph of the
Cross through the resurrection of Jesus becomes the focus
for the vigil, for Easter Sunday, for the fifty days of the
Easter season and then is extended throughout the year as
each Sunday continues to be the reason we gather to celebrate these truths of our faith.
Meanwhile, back on the Archdiocesan scene, we are being encouraged to take some time out to go online and
respond to a survey that is being taken at the request of
Archbishop Cupich for the “view from the pew” concerning the future direction of planning and reorganization for
the Church of Chicago. This comes under the overall impetus called Renew My Church. This is the focus that the
archbishop wants to give to this major review of the current state of the archdiocese and its strengths and weaknesses with a view to strengthening and enhancing the
ability of the church to be more effective and vital in its
ministry to the citizens of Cook and Lake Counties in
Illinois.
As we have mentioned before, there is a continued projection for priests in the future that does not keep up with the
growing needs of the parishes and institutions of the archdiocese. In many ways there have been programs to train
deacons and lay people to do many of the things that do
not fall under the exclusive domain of the ordained. Still,
there remain a significant number of ministerial obligations that do require the credential of ordination. So area
planning, pooling of resources and cooperative ventures
are some of the ways that the mission of the church can
continue to be enhanced in the near and in the distant
future.
When you take the time to respond to this survey you do a
number of things. The first is that by just responding to
the survey, you indicate that there is vitality in the area
that is indicated by your very participation This is important in itself.
Secondly, the unique perspective of the laity can raise
some issues not considered by the clerics and can also
question some of the suppositions that the clerics bring to
these kinds of discussions.
This can help the Holy
Spirit in enlightening all of
us in the dialogue as to just
exactly what she wants
from us for the future.
So, I encourage everyone
to seek out the survey from
your computer and take the
time to answer the survey
as best you can.
I am not sure if this will be
a required observation by
the time this issue of The
Sacred Heart Beat reaches you or not, but just in case,
Palos Community Hospital is still working on their new
computer system, let me remind you that until the system
is completely set up, the hospital has no way of informing
the parishes of members who are in the hospital. This
means that the only way we will know of someone’s stay
at Palos Hospital is if the person himself or herself, or a
member of the family calls the parish office to let us
know. So please do inform us if you or a family member
is in Palos Hospital especially so we can try to get there
for a visit before they are discharged.
While we are on the “hospital beat” let me remind you
that Silver Cross Hospital will not inform us of a
parishioner being in their facility at all. Christ Hospital
and Little Company Mary do have records of people who
admit to being our parishioners that we can find out about
by calling their pastoral care office for the names.
If you wish to play it safe, the best chance for someone to
know that you are in the hospital and would like a
pastoral visit from one of the staff is to call the office and
let us know. You take your chances with my failing
memory if you try to tell me after Mass that you are going
in to one of the hospitals. To repeat, the safest way to get
this information through to the staff is to call the office
and leave the information. Thank you for your
cooperation.
Finally, a special word of thanks goes to all who
contributed their time and talent to making the church
environment so lovely and those who made the liturgies
of Holy Week and Easter so memorable. I received many
compliments and naturally took the credit, but you know
who you are and I readily pass these compliments on to
you!!!

(or Sunday of Divine Mercy)
April 3, 2016
Once I was dead,
but now I am alive forever and ever.
— Revelation 1:18a
What will help you to believe? Today’s scripture readings tell of faith and doubt. They offer stories
“recorded to help you believe,” as the passage from John’s Gospel (20:31) remarks today. There is an
urgency about this. On this Second Sunday of Easter we are challenged to join the company of believers—
countless men and women who witnessed the power of the apostles’ faith.
There is no doubt that this power comes from Jesus Christ. The second reading, from the book of
Revelation, reports John’s mystical vision of the Son of Man, who proclaims, “Once I was dead, but now I
live” (Revelation 1:18). The Gospel gathers everyone but Thomas to see the Risen Jesus and receive the
Holy Spirit from him. Like Thomas, we who have come along later must have faith so that we can have life.
Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The apostles perform many signs and
wonders among the people. Many are added to their
numbers (Acts 5:12-16).
Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is
everlasting (Psalm 118).
Second Reading — John, caught up in the spirit, envisions
the glorified Lord, the first and the last, the one who lives
(Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19).
Gospel — The risen Christ comes to his disciples with
peace and the Spirit. The absent Thomas doubts
(John 20:19-31).

Join Us for Mercy Sunday
THIS SUNDAY ~ APRIL 3, 2016
The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings
of a Polish nun, St. Faustina Kowalska. Our Lord appeared to Sister Faustina
Kowalska in a vision, and told her to paint the now famous image of Divine Mercy, say the “Chaplet of Mercy,” and have a Feast of Mercy to be celebrated on the
first Sunday after Easter. St. Faustina was the first saint canonized by Blessed
Pope John Paul II in the new millennium (Fr. McGinnity attended the beautiful
event in Rome).
The Sacred Heart Queen of Peace prayer group will be sponsoring the Feast of
Mercy again this year at Sacred Heart Parish. These preparations began on
Good Friday and continue for nine days with the special Divine Mercy Novena.
Please pray the Novena and Chaplet of Mercy to obtain mercy for yourselves and
for the whole world. The Lord promised special graces to all who keep this special Feast of Mercy after concluding the Novena.
“The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins
and punishment. On that day are open all the divine floodgates through which graces flow. Let no soul fear to
draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet.”
This Feast Day of Mercy is a true gift from God! Please join us on THIS Sunday for this very special celebration. God bless all of you!
Schedule for Mercy Sunday, April 3, 2016
Time: 1:15pm (after 12pm Mass): Film on St. Faustina’s life (bride’s room)
1:30—2:30pm: Confessions (In chapel)
2:30pm: Eucharistic Holy Hours and Special Prayers
3:00pm: Hour of Grace
3:30pm: Benediction followed by Veneration of St. Faustina’s third class relic.
Pope Francis has proclaimed this year to be the YEAR OF MERCY. Join us for an Hour of Mercy.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
Since 1983, communities across the country have used this month to increase awareness of child
abuse. It is a time when individuals, schools, businesses, religious institutions, and social service
agencies join together to bring attention to this issue that affects millions of children each year.
Contact Prevent Child Abuse Illinois at (217) 522 1129 or visit www.preventchildabuseillinois.org
for ways in which you can help locally.
What You Can Do to Prevent Child Abuse
 Support parents and caregivers by helping them develop creative problem- solving strategies to challenging situations.
 Teach your children and/or grandchildren how to recognize and express their feelings. Encourage them
when they are generous, cooperative, and considerate of their classmates and of other adults.
 Every day, show and tell your children and/or grandchildren that they are loved. Provide them with
a sense of security, belonging, and support.
 Spend quality time with your children and/or grandchildren. Offer them your undivided attention
when they are talking, but be patient with your children and/or grandchildren as they share the details
of their day.
 Wear blue on Friday, April 8th to show your commitment to supporting healthy family dynamics.

ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO ~ PARISHIONER SURVEY
Archbishop Cupich wants your input!
When Archbishop Cupich announced the “Renew My Church” initiative in January, he invited everyone in the
Archdiocese of Chicago to participate in the process of revitalizing our parish communities. Just as Pope Francis
asked Catholics across the globe for their input prior to the Synod of Bishops meetings in 2014 and 2015, Archbishop
Cupich is asking for your help as the Archdiocese begins a new listening phase of this important effort.
Please take time to respond to a survey designed to help Archbishop Cupich and the Archdiocese better understand
the perspectives of Catholics across Cook and Lake Counties. The survey will be available beginning on Easter
Sunday at: www.archchicago.org/renew. We encourage you to complete the survey online. Paper copies will be
available

Dear Lord,
There are young men and women far from home, called to serve
their nation in time of war; sent to defend their nation in time of war;
sent to defend our freedom on some distant foreign shore. We pray
You keep them safe, we pray You keep them strong, we pray You
send them safely home....for they have been away so long. Bless
those who await their safe return. Bless those who mourn the lost.
Bless those who serve this country well, no matter what the cost.
