APRIL 3, 2016 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER - DIVINE MERCY
DEAR PARISHIONERS and VISITORS:
The second Sunday of Easter was given this special titleof Divine Mercy Sunday by Pope St. John Paul II in the year2000. Pope St John Paul II referred to the words of Jesus toSt. Faustina: “humanity will never find peace until it turnswith trust to Divine Mercy. Divine Mercy is the Easter giftthat the church receives from the risen Christ and offers tohumanity.”
Offering this Divine Mercy to humanity shows itself inpractical ways through the corporal works of mercy and thespiritual works of mercy.
Corporal works of mercy: feed the hungry, give drink tothe thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, comfortthe sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.
Spiritual works of mercy: admonish the sinner, instructthe ignorant, counsel the doubtful, comfort the sorrowful,bear wrongs patiently, forgive injuries, and pray for theliving and the dead.
It is good for us to pray for each other, to encourage eachother in these ways of living out and sharing God’s gift to usof Divine Mercy, not only on this Sunday but every day ofthe year. Fr. Galvon

Archdiocesan Prayer
for the Jubilee Year of Mercy
All merciful Father, through the reconciling love
of your Son and healing power of the
Holy Spirit, fill us with the richness
of your mercy.
Grant that each family, the domestic church of
the home, be a privileged place of comfort
and healing where your mercy is handed down
from generation to generation.
May husbands and wives convey forgiveness
and love, as sacramental witnesses to the
extravagant mercy of the Cross.
May parents embrace their role as primary
teachers in the school of mercy,
and may brothers and sisters bear each other’s
burdens and weaknesses with gentle compassion.
May each parish, the family of families, be a
place where works of mercy are lived,
compassion is freely given, and welcoming arms
await all seeking forgiveness on their journey
to reconciliation.
Through the intercession of Mary, Mother of
Mercy incarnate, grant that we may be
missionary disciples, who bear to the whole
human family the transforming light of your
Gospel of Mercy. Amen.

Reflection for the Second Sunday of Easter
I was the “jock” in my family growing up. I remember
being very proud of the scrapes, scratches, and
particularly colorful bruises I gained from tumbles and
falls while playing sports.
Sometimes my teammates and I would compare
wounds to see whose was the ugliest…and hence, the
coolest!
For children, scars and wounds can be something to
show off, while adults tend to hide their stretch marks,
surgical scars, and bruised skin—often, I think, to
appear strong and less vulnerable. W e wouldn’t want to
appear weak or broken, would we?
However, in today’s Gospel reading, one of the first
things Jesus does upon appearing to the disciples after
his resurrection is show them the wounds in his hands
and his side. This, of course, was a way to prove he
was really Jesus—the one they saw crucified just three
days earlier.
But it’s significant that even in his glorified, risen body,
Jesus still had his wounds. They didn’t magically
disappear. He didn’t try to hide them. They were part of
him, even in his new, resurrected life.
Only a week after the joy of Easter, it may seem strange
to speak about wounds and scars. Yet we know well in
our own lives that while we trust in the joy of the
resurrection, we still live with broken hearts, broken
relationships, and wounded souls. Just because Easter
has occurred doesn’t mean our wounds have been
erased.
But today’s Gospel reminds us that we have a Savior
who knows what it’s like to be hurt, afraid, and broken.
He knows our wounds because he still has his. Because
of this, he accompanies us…all the way through the
cross to new, resurrected life.

STEWARDSHIP IN OUR PARISH
Stewardship Profile of the Week
David
has been coming to the cathedral for
12 years.
He is head altar server, assists
priests and the Archbishop at
special Masses at the Cathedral and
throughout the Archdiocese.
Motto: “I offer my whole life to the
Lord in service to Him and the
Blessed Mother.”
Thank you, David, for your
solemnity, reverence and joy, and
for your devotion to the celebration
of the Holy Mass, and to our priests.
Stewardship Reflection
In today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles we hear it
proclaimed that many “signs and wonders” were performed in
public by Christ’s followers, a demonstration that produced two
results. First, the people of Jerusalem outside the Christian
community were awed by what the disciples were performing.
And in the midst of all this amazement, many were being
converted. Good stewards know of the evangelizing power
emanating from their daily acts of love, compassion, mercy and
generosity. They believe that if they stay focused on Christ
each day, every act has the power to transform a broken world.
W hat “signs and wonders” will we perform today? www.catholicstewardship.com
PARISH LIFE....continued...Lectors - The sacramental celebration of the Word of God is a proclamationwhich must enlighten the minds of the listeners and inspire them in the journeytowards God.
