April 19th, 2020 - Divine Mercy Sunday

19 avril 2020 - Dimanche de la Miséricorde Divine

LaSalle River Canard

Catholic Family of Parishes

Jesus lives within us. We can change the world!

Jésus vit en nous. Nous pouvons changer le monde!

Divine Mercy Sunday: One week after His

Resurrection, Jesus returned to the same

place where the disciples had been on

the night that He rose from the dead.

This time, Thomas was there and Jesus,

in compassion and mercy, invited him to

see for himself that He was truly alive!

Thomas was moved to proclaim, “My Lord and my

God!” These words are important as they are what we

proclaim in the silence of our hearts when the

consecrated Body & Blood of Jesus is elevated during

the Eucharistic prayer.

This moment of deep conversion led Thomas to proclaim

the Gospel and to give his life for the Lord. So it should

be for each of us – proclaiming our faith in Jesus is what

prompts us to live the Gospel of Jesus.

Once we have encountered the Risen Lord, our lives are

forever changed. His love, mercy and compassion

embrace us ‘where we are’ and ‘in what we are living’.

In the midst of the pandemic which has forced us into

isolation, Jesus is here filling us with his love, mercy and

compassion. May our hearts be opened to encounter and

embrace Him!

Dimanche de la Miséricorde Divine: Une semaine

après sa résurrection, Jésus est retourné au même

endroit où les disciples avaient été la nuit où il fut

ressuscité des morts. Cette fois, Thomas était là et Jésus,

avec compassion et miséricorde, l'a invité à voir par lui-

même qu'il était vraiment vivant! Thomas a été poussé à

proclamer: «Mon Seigneur et mon Dieu!» Ces paroles

sont importantes car elles sont ce que nous proclamons

dans le silence de nos cœurs lorsque le Corps et le Sang

consacrés de Jésus sont élevés pendant la prière

eucharistique.

Ce moment de profonde conversion a

conduit Thomas à proclamer l'Évangile et

à donner sa vie pour le Seigneur. Il devrait

en être ainsi pour chacun de nous -

proclamer notre foi en Jésus est ce qui

nous pousse à vivre l'Évangile de Jésus.

Une fois que nous avons rencontré le Seigneur

ressuscité, nos vies sont changées à jamais. Son amour,

Sa miséricorde et Sa compassion nous enveloppe «où

nous sommes» et «dans ce que nous vivons». Au milieu

de la pandémie qui nous oblige à nous isoler, Jésus est

avec nous, Il nous remplit de Son amour, de Sa

miséricorde et de Sa compassion. Que nos cœurs

s'ouvrent pour le rencontrer et l'embrasser!

Love, Mercy & Compassion: Throughout the

entire world, people are reaching out to

others. First and foremost, we recognize all

those whose indispensable love, mercy and

compassion are serving the needs of others.

These individuals are being thanked

repeatedly by the media. We need to continue to pray for

them! We also acknowledge the service that is rendered

to the most vulnerable in our midst and we thank those

who reach out to and care for them. We pray in

thanksgiving for their love, mercy and compassion! And

finally, we trust in the DIVINE MERCY OF JESUS, to

fill our hearts with peace, joy and hope as we continue to

celebrate the great mystery of our faith proclaimed in the

truth that HE IS RISEN.

Amour, miséricorde et compassion: dans le monde

entier, les gens se tournent vers les autres. Nous

reconnaissons tous ceux dont l'amour, la miséricorde et

la compassion indispensables répondent aux besoins des

autres. Nous devons continuer à prier pour eux! Nous

reconnaissons également le service rendu aux plus

vulnérables parmi nous et nous remercions ceux qui les

contactent et prennent soin d'eux. Nous prions en

remerciement pour leur amour, leur miséricorde et leur

compassion! Et enfin, nous avons confiance en la

MISÉRICORDE DIVINE DE JÉSUS, pour remplir nos

cœurs de paix, de joie et d'espérance alors que nous

continuons à célébrer le grand mystère de notre foi

proclamé dans la vérité QU'IL EST RESSUSCITÉ.

An Act of Spiritual Communion: Is a prayer to

remain in spiritual communion with Christ when we are

restricted from receiving sacramental Communion.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the

Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all

things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You

sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my

heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and

unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be

separated from You. Amen.

Acte de Communion Spirituelle: Mon Dieu, je

crois que Tu es réellement présent par le très saint

Sacrement de l’autel. Je T’aime par-dessus tout et je

désire ardemment Te recevoir en mon âme ; mais, ne

pouvant le faire sacramentellement, viens au moins

spirituellement en mon cœur… O Seigneur, ne permets

jamais que je sois séparé de Toi !
