Second Sunday of Easter
FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY
This Sunday, April 27 is the FEAST OF
DIVINE MERCY. We will celebrate this feast at
3:00 P.M –The Hour of Great Mercy. All our
parishioners are invited to come to the church
for a time of prayer and adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament.
THE COLLECTION
FOR THE CATHOLIC
HOME MISSIONS
IS APRIL 27th.
There are many dioceses in the United States
which have a large number of missions and
poor parishes needing our help. In these places
also the Church, with its message and
sacraments, must become present. Your
contribution to this annual collection will help
to provide more religious and pastoral
programs in these communities. May the doors
of these churches never close through lack of
our help. Please be generous in this collection to
this Sunday, April 27th.
AFTER EASTER…MANY THANKS
Our most sincere gratitude to everyone who helped
to make the celebration of Holy Week and Easter so
memorable and beautiful. The church was filled
beyond capacity in almost every service. Many came
to seek forgiveness in the sacrament of
Reconciliation.
A thousand thanks to all who ministered…as lectors,
ministers of Holy Communion, altar servers, ushers,
sacristans, especially Dr. Helen Albertson, and our
maintenance men Julio Rodriguez and Reynaldo
Quintana. They and many others do so much
“behind the scenes” cheerfully and willingly.
Our thanks to the students of St. Agnes Academy
who presented a realistic and very moving Way of
the Cross on Good Friday.
The choirs, as always, enriched our liturgies with
their artistic talent and all the rehearsal time needed.
The ladies of the Altar and Rosary Society decorated
the church with beauty, taste and elegance, giving
many hours to the task. And a thousand thanks to all
who by their prayers, presence and generous
donations showed their love for God and our
community of St. Agnes.

A PRAYER IN HONOR OF
POPE SAINT JOHN XXIII
Loving and gracious God,
you gave us good
Pope Saint John XXIII,
a reflection of your Son,
Jesus Christ,
the light of the world.
As the source of our inner peace,
help us to be, like him,
a disciple of peace in our care
for the poor and suffering.
Grant that through his intercession,
we may receive the grace to serve others
as we continue Christ’s work among us.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
A PRAYER IN HONOR OF
POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II
Wise and gracious God,
in your divine wisdom
you sent Pope Saint John Paul II
to guide and shepherd the Church
in changing times.
He courageously defended
all human life
from conception to death.
Through his intercession, we pray,
strengthen us to follow in his footsteps
so that we might experience
“true joy and authentic love,
and a lasting solidarity among peoples.”
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
The school will be closed through April 27th for
the Easter Holiday.

Second Sunday of Easter
“Blessed are those who have not seen
and have believed.”
— John 20:29b
TWO POPES SAINTS:
S. JOHN XXIII AND S. JOHN-PAUL II
Today, April 27, 2014, the church recognizes as saints two giants of recent Catholic and world
history. Both Popes John XXIII and John Paul II were messengers of God’s mercy, so it’s fitting
they be canonized on the day Pope John Paul II established as Divine Mercy Sunday.
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (1881-1963) was born on November 25, 1881, in
Sotto il Monte, Italy. He was the fourth child of 13. His father was a
sharecropper. He was ordained a priest in 1904, a bishop in 1925, and elevated
to the College of Cardinals in 1953. he was elected to the Chair of Peter as
Pope John XXIII in 1958. “The Good Pope” was perhaps the most influential
pope of the twentieth century.
When he was elected at the age of 76, many thought he would be a short-term
caretaker until his successor was chosen after his death. He surprised the
Church and the world with his reforming spirit, manifested most poignantly
when he convened the Second Vatican Council in 1962, which laid out a broad
new vision and set of reforms for the Roman catholic Church.
While pope, Saint John XXIII wrote eight papal encyclicals, including Mater et Magistra (Mother
and Teacher), which expounded on themes of Christianity and social progress, and Pacem en Terris
(Peace on earth), which focused on the establishment of universal peace in truth, justice, charity,
and liberty. He died on June 3, 1963. His Feats is October 11. the Anniversary of his opening
Vatican II (1962-1965)
Karol Józef Wojtyla (1920-2005) was born on May 18, 1920, in Wadowice,
Poland. He had lost his entire family by age 20. Nazi Germany had invaded his
country requiring that he become a manual labor to avoid being deported.
He was ordained a priest in 1946, a bishop in 1958, was appointed archbishop of
Kraków in 1964, and elevated to the College of Cardinals 1967. He was elected to
the Chair of Peter as Pope John Paul II in 1978. A groundbreaker in many
ways, he was the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian pontiff in four
hundred years.
He was a worldwide traveler, visiting places where no pope had gone before, and
opened dialogues with Protestant and Orthodox denominations. He was tireless in his work for the
poor and powerless, speaking out against war, economic injustice, and political oppression. He
talked from his own experience of suffering and oppression under Nazis and Communist system in
Poland.
He left the Church more than dozen encyclicals and scores of other documents, and beatified and
canonized more than a thousand men and women from all walks of life. He died on April 2, 2005.
His last words were: “Let me go to the house of the Father.” His Feast is October 22, the
Anniversary of his inauguration as leader of Church.

Segundo Domingo de Pascua
“Dichosos los que creen sin haber visto”.
— Juan 20:29b
DOS PAPAS SANTOS:
SAN JUAN XXIII Y SAN JUAN PABLO II
En este día, 27 de abril, de 2014, la Iglesia reconoce como santos a dos gigantes de los últimos años
en la Iglesia y el mundo. Ambos papas, San Juan XXIII y San Juan Pablo II fueron mensajeros de
paz y misericordia. Hoy, domingo de la Divina Misericordia, es un día que ambienta
perfectamente la canonización de estos dos papas santos.
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli (1881-1963) nació el día 25 de noviembre de 1881.
Era el cuarto hijo de los 13 que formaban la familia más numerosa de Sotto il
Monte, Italia. Eran humildes campesinos. Fue ordenado sacerdote en 1904;
obispo en el 1925 y elevado al Colegio de Cardenales en 1953. Fue elegido
Obispo de Roma y sucesor de Pedro con el nombre de Juan XXIII en 1958. Se
conoce como el “el Papa Bueno”; uno de los papas que más influencia han
ejercido en el siglo XX.
Cuando fue elegido Papa a los 76 años, muchos pensaron que lo sería por un
breve tiempo. Pero fue una gran sorpresa para la iglesia y el mundo, al dar a
conocer su espíritu reformador y renovador manifestado principalmente en el
Concilio Vaticano II. Lo inició en el año 1962, dando una visión de la Iglesia amplia y renovadora.
Durante su pontificado el Papa Juan XXIII escribió ocho cartas encíclicas, entre ellas la Mater et
Magistra y la Pacem en Terris, ésta plantea la necesidad urgente de un paz universal basada en la
verdad, la justicia, el amor y la libertad. Murió el día 3 de junio de 1963. La Fiesta de San Juan
XXIII se celebra el 11 de octubre, en el aniversario del Concilio Vaticano II (1962-1965).
Karol Józef Wojtyla (1920-2005) nació el día 18 de mayo de 1920 en Wadowice,
Polonia. Era el menor de tres hermanos. Cuando tenía 20 años ya había perdido
toda su familia. Los Nazis invadieron Polonia y le exigieron al joven Wojtyla
trabajar en labores manuales, si quería evitar ser deportado. Mucha de su
educación académica la recibió clandestinamente, incluyendo la formación para
ser sacerdote.
Fue ordenado sacerdote en 1946; Obispo en 1958. En el año 1964 fue nombrado
Arzobispo de Cracovia y en 1967 elevado al Colegio de Cardenales. Fue elegido
Obispo de Roma y Sucesor de Pedro en el año 1978 con el nombre de Juan
Pablo II. Fue el primer papa polaco y el primer papa no italiano después de 400
años.
Juan Pablo II fue un viajero universal, visitando lugares donde ningún Papa había llegado antes.
Incansable defensor de los pobres y oprimidos, luchando contra la guerra, la injusticia económica
y la opresión política. Hablaba desde su propia experiencia sufrida bajo los Nazis y el sistema
comunista impuesto en Polonia. Nos dejó 12 cartas encíclicas y multitud de documentos de gran
riqueza doctrinal.
Murió el día 2 de abril de 2005. Sus últimas palabras fueron “Déjenme ir a la casa del padre”. La
Fiesta de San Juan Pablo II es el 22 de octubre, aniversario del inicio de su pontificado en Roma en
1978.

LA COLECTA PARA LAS
MISIONES CATOLICAS
DE NUESTRO PAIS SERA
ABRIL 27, 2014
Hay muchas Diócesis en Estados Unidos que
tienen un gran número de misiones y
parroquias pobres necesitadas de nuestra
ayuda. En estos lugares también tiene que
hacerse presente la Iglesia con su Mensaje y
Sacramentos. Sus contribuciones a esta Colecta
anual son para las Misiones Católicas de
nuestro país para que haya más programas
religiosos y pastorales en estas comunidades.
Que las puertas de estas iglesias no se cierren
por falta de nuestra ayuda. Sean generosos en
la Colecta este domingo 27 de abril.
DESPUES DE PASCUA,
MUCHAS GRACIAS
Nuestra más sincera gratitud a todas las personas que
cooperaron en las celebraciones de la Semana Santa.
La Iglesia rebosaba en todos los actos. Muchos
buscaron el perdón de Dios en el Sacramento de la
Reconciliación. Gracias mil a todos los ministros:
lectores, ministros de la comunión, servidores del
altar, sacristanes, acomodadores; y mención especial
merecen nuestra sacristana, Dr. Helen Albertson y los
hombres de mantenimiento Julio Rodríguez y
Reynaldo Quintana. Cuanto trabajo anónimo,
callado y sacrificado!!
Gracias a los estudiantes de St. Agnes Academy, que
nos presentaron el Víacrucis del Viernes Santo en
forma tan conmovedora.
Los coros aportaron lo mejor de su arte, talento y
tiempo y las damas de la Sociedad del Rosario y el
Altar decoraron la iglesia con sumo gusto y elegancia.
Gracias mil a todos por sus oraciones, su presencia,
sus generosas contribuciones y su amor a esta
Comunidad de St. Agnes.

DIOS HABLA CONTIGO
Un hombre susurró: “Dios, habla conmigo”.
Y un Ruiseñor comenzó a cantar.
Pero el hombre no oyó.
El hombre repitió: “Dios, habla conmigo”.
Y el eco de un Trueno se oyó.
Más el hombre fue incapaz de oír.
El hombre miró alrededor y dijo:
“Dios, déjame verte”.
Una estrella brilló en el cielo.
Pero el hombre no la vio.
El hombre comenzó a gritar:
“Dios, muéstrame un milagro”. Un niño nació.
Más el hombre no sintió el latir de la vida.
El hombre comenzó a llorar y a desesperarse:
“Dios, tócame y déjame saber
que estás aquí conmigo…”
Y una Mariposa se posó
suavemente en su hombro.
El hombre espantó la mariposa con la mano y
desilusionado
continuó su camino, triste, solo y con miedo.
¿Hasta cuándo mantendremos nuestros ojos
y nuestros corazones cerrados,
para los milagros que la vida,
nos presenta en todo momento?
PON TUS MANOS, SEÑOR,
SOBRE NOSOTROS
Pon tus manos, Señor, sobre nosotros,
tus manos traspasadas por los clavos.
Y danos fuerza, Señor, danos coraje
y espíritu de entrega y de servicio.
Líbranos de miedos y de penas,
de la comodidad, del conformismo
y de la indiferencia.
Pon tus manos, Señor, sobre las mías,
para que se abran al amor
y estén siempre dispuestas al servicio,
a sumarse a otras manos, a todas,
para ponernos manos a la obra,
y empezar a cambiar ya nuestro mundo.
Pon tus manos, Señor, bendícenos
y que también nosotros sepamos bendecir
y dar la mano y estrecharla a todos.
