This is a very special Sunday when Jesus through the Church offers forgiveness of all sins and punishment to those who have gone to confession and who receive the Eucharist on this holy day. It was just a little more than a year ago that Pope Francis announced his intent for the Jubilee Year of Mercy with these words: “It’s a journey that starts with a spiritual conversion. For this reason I have decided to declare an Extraordinary Jubilee that has the mercy of God at its center. It will be a Holy Year of Mercy.” The “official” announcement of the Year of Mercy, however, occurred on this Divine Mercy Sunday last year. From the beginning of his time as our Pope, our Holy Father Francis has had “mercy” as an ongoing theme. This Year of Mercy is directed at three groups of people: 1. Each of us as members of the Church; 2. The clergy; 3. Everyone in the world. Today’s celebration should bring all this in focus if it has not already. We are called to look into our own hearts and recognize our need for God’s mercy. Today should be a day of jubilation that God’s mercy is so free and open to us. Mercy, you see, is not earned; it is given unreservedly. The readings on this Holy Day all reflect that theme of mercy. Our First Reading is drawn from the Acts of the Apostles and it declares the works, the acts that is, of the Apostles in the early days. They go about the countryside performing “signs and wonders.” In effect it declares that “they all were cured,” meaning God’s love and forgiveness is available and open to everyone, absolutely everyone. There is no limit and no restrictions on God’s mercy. Have you ever heard of an “out of body experience?” This may be what John experienced as reflected in the Mass Readings Second Reading from Revelation. Whatever the circumstances, it was a unique experience for John. Scholars agree that the voice John heard was the voice of Jesus, a voice with which John would have been very familiar. John sees Jesus in all His glory, and he receives instructions from Him to write a book of what he has seen and witnessed. Witness to faith, witness to the Lord, are important parts of a stewardship experience. Each of us, like John, is called to witness. This is the first time, as recorded in Revelation, that John is commanded by the Lord to write. However, he receives that command eleven more times in this Book. It is difficult to really ascertain exactly what John thought and felt at that moment. John was overcome and in awe. Here was Christ in all His glory! John had spent three years with the Lord while He was among them. John reports that Jesus “touched me with His right hand and said, ‘Do not be afraid’.” This is the God of love, the God of mercy, who comforts in compassion. 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, 1213, 17-19). Gospel — The risen Christ comes to his disciples with peace and the Spirit. The absent Thomas doubts (John 20:19-31).

Readings for the Week The Gospel from the Book of John would seemingly be one of the results of the command to write what John has seen. Much of the attention on this Gospel has been given to Didymus, the Apostle Thomas, and the resulting term “doubting Thomas.” However, the meaning in terms of mercy is much deeper than that. When Jesus appears among the Apostles, the Lord’s first words are “Peace be with you.” These are the words of a forgiving and merciful Father. They may have expected to be scolded for their desertion of Jesus on Good Friday; nevertheless, the Lord comes with words of reconciliation. Monday: Is 7:10-14, 8:10; Ps 40:7-11; Heb 10:4-10; Lk 1:26-38 Tuesday: Acts 4:32-37; Ps 93:1-2, 5; Jn 3:7b-15 Jesus commissions them, just as He has commissioned each of us, to continue His work on earth. The Lord blesses them with the Holy Spirit and breathes new life into them, just as His Father breathed life into all of humankind at the time of creation. He grants them, and thus the Church’s priests and clergy, the authority to forgive. We can be forgiven; God’s mercy extends to each of us. Blessing, Fr. John www.stmarknc.org 704-948-0231 Wednesday: Acts 5:17-26; Ps 34:2-9; Jn 3:16-21 Thursday: Acts 5:27-33; Ps 34:2, 9, 17-20; Jn 3:31-36 Friday: Acts 5:34-42; Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14; Jn 6:1-15 Saturday: Acts 6:1-7; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 18-19; Jn 6:16-21 Sunday: Acts 5:27-32, 40b-41; Ps 30:2, 4-6, 11-13; Rv 5:11-14; Jn 21:1-19 [1-14] HELPING YOUR NEIGHBOR If you truly want to help the soul of your neighbor, you should approach God first with all your heart.

Traffic Flow and Parishioner Safety In order to improve safety and traffic flow, the first row of our parking lot...the row of parking spaces located immediately on your right at the bottom of the hill when you enter at the light...will become a one-way street, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week beginning April 7, 2016. If you choose to park in this first row, you will now need to exit by driving away from the church, taking a left at the end of the row, and merging in with the rest of the cars. In addition, it is very important that anyone choosing to park in this first row not back into theses spaces, as this causes a very dangerous situation with other cars that are entering our lot. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to improve the traffic flow during heavily attended Masses, programs and events held at St. Mark. www.stmarknc.org 704-948-0231 Page 6 Respect Life St. Mark's Respect Life Ministry wishes to thank all the ministries and their members who participated in our Pro-Life day by praying at the local abortion facility for an end to abortion on March 19. We had at least 14 ministries covering the day, and Fr. McNulty dropped by for a while as well.

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.

The ceremony was hosted by Bishop Charles. P Greco, Council #944. The St. Mark Community Blood Drive on Sunday, March 20, was another huge success. A big thank you to all of you who came out to offer their blood to save the lives of our brothers and sisters. Seventy-one donors gave 81 units of blood to the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas ("CBCC"), including 10 donors who gave double red blood cells. We exceeded our goal of 70 units. Each unit can save as many as three lives. The Knights of Columbus will sponsor its next blood drive with the CBCC at the St Mark Family Center on June 12, 2016. At its annual awards dinner on March 17, the CBCC recognized St. Mark as an outstanding sponsor of blood drives in 2015. The many parishioners who donated their blood at St Mark blood drives in 2015 are true heroes who have improved and saved local lives. Thanks to Dave Stoughton, Mike Tolbert, John Ryan, Sean Hannum and Bill Serreno for supporting another successful blood drive.

The trip will include four nights in Jerusalem, three nights on the Sea of Galilee, and then two more nights back in Jerusalem. You will visit all the holy sites in and around Jerusalem. You will also visit Bethlehem, Jericho, Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River. Each morning, while in Jerusalem, you will celebrate Mass in the Tomb of Christ and also on Calvary. There will be a holy hour in the Garden of Gethsemane one evening. You will get a chance to retrace the Palm Sunday route and also will do the Way of Cross leading to Calvary. Those who are married will get a chance to renew their wedding vows in Cana, the place where Jesus turned water into wine. There will be a one hour boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and the opportunity to read the gospels that took place in that area. The brown scapular enrollment will take place on Mt. Carmel. Christopher Cross, a parishioner of St. Mark, will be our tour guide. Feel free to call him at 704-274-2031 or go to his web site at www.catholicholyland.com for a registration page/ itinerary or to know more about this pilgrimage. www.stmarknc.org 704-948-0231 Page 11 www.stmarknc.org 704-948-0231 Anuncios Semanales del Ministerio Hispano Información en Español Hoy es Domingo de la Divina Misericordia Andrea Solórzano 704-948-4239 Rosalba Rojas 704-895-8866 La Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia se celebra el primer domingo después del domingo de Pascua.

El mensaje de la misericordia es que Dios nos ama, nos ama a todos, sin importar la magnitud de nuestros pecados. Dios quiere que reconozcamos que Su misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados, para que podamos invocarlo a Él con confianza, recibir Su misericordia y dejar que ésta fluya a través de nosotros hacia los demás. Así, todos llegaremos a compartir Su alegría. Todos debemos procurar participar en la celebración que nuestra hermosa iglesia Católica nos brinda para poder recibir las gracias que nos ofrece nuestro Señor a través de su Divina Misericordia. Para sacarle mayor provecho a esta fiesta deberíamos: Venir al Señor con un corazón humilde y contrito, arrepentirse de todo pecado. Confiar firmemente en la Divina Misericordia del Señor. Confesarse (con un sacerdote) en ese día si es posible, de otra manera siete días antes o después según aprobación de la Iglesia. Recibir la Sagrada Eucaristía el día de la Fiesta. Venerar la imagen de la Divina Misericordia. Ser misericordioso como Dios es misericordioso, practicar obras de misericordia, físicamente ayudando a otros o espiritualmente con oraciones de intercesión. Hoy nuestra parroquia va a celebrar el domingo de la Divina Misericordia y todos están cordialmente invitados a participar: a la 1 pm habrá una presentación/película en el salón familiar y a las 2:45 pm iremos a la iglesia para: Exposición, adoración y bendición del Santísimo, Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia, Bendición de las imágenes de la Divina Misericordia – así que traigan las suyas Consagración a Jesús a través de María Reunión Inicial: Lunes 4 de abril de 7-9 pm Salon 204 El 13 de mayo se celebra el dia de la Virgen de Fátima y en nuestra parroquia estaremos ofreciendo ese dia la celebración de la Consagración a Jesús a través de su madre María. Para ello es necesario hacer una preparación de 33 dias. Si no han tenido la oportunidad de unirse a este gran movimiento Mariano anímense y vengan a esta reunión inicial donde se les hará entrega de material y se les explicará como hacer su preparación de 33 dias – el cual comenzará el 10 de abril. Para mas información llamar a Laura Ramirez: 704-315-4485 Page 12 Respeto a la Vida El Ministerio de Respeto a la Vida de St. Mark agradece a los diferentes ministerios y sus miembros que participaron en nuestro día de Pro-Vida. Agradecemos a los que oraron por el fin del aborto frente al centro donde se realizan abortos. Tuvimos 14 ministerios durante todo el día y el Padre McNulty también nos acompañó. También agradecemos a todos los miembros de Ministerio de Adoración Eucarística quienes adoptaron una hora en la capilla durante el tiempo que nosotros estábamos rezando frente al centro de aborto. ¡Dios los bendiga a todos! “Qué hermosa es esta realidad de fe para nuestra vida: la misericordia de Dios. Un amor tan grande, tan profundo el que Dios nos tiene, un amor que no decae, que siempre aferra nuestra mano y nos sostiene, nos levanta, nos guía” Exposición perpetua del Santísimo Sacramento Nuestro Señor Jesucristo está expuesto en la Capilla 24 horas al día, 7 días a la semana. Ven a visitarlo y a pasar un momento en la presencia de Jesús Sacramentado. El Señor ha reservado gracias especiales para los que le visitan. En el altar el Señor es puro amor, y distribuye sus gracias a manos llenas a los que le visitan. www.stmarknc.org 704-948-0231 Jim Engel, CEO & PRESIDENT Parishioner Bank Near.
