HAPPY EASTER! Dear People of the parish of St. Maximilian Kolbe,

Easter is here! This virus has stopped many things but it cannot stop the fact that Jesus is Risen from the dead. When the time comes and the long isolation is ended, we will be able to rejoice and praise God together.

One of the things we can reflect on is the period of Jesus laid in the tomb, apart from family and Apostles. His first mission as crucified Lord is ended. His mission as resurrected Lord is about to begin as He emerges from the tomb.

What will we do when we emerge from our long isolation? Many of us are going to rebuild our lives. Many are going to need healing that can take time. We will have a mission to bring Christ anew to the world. Do we emerge from our isolation changed as the Risen Lord was or go back to business as usual?

Our patron St. Maximilian Kolbe said “Don’t ever forget to Love.” That was true when he build missions and monasteries, when he was publishing, when he was sheltering Jews, and when he offered his life in Auschwitz for a total stranger. “Don’t ever forget to love” no matter where this time will lead you and be led by the Risen Lord.

Know we are praying for you. We hope that when this crisis is over, and it will be, we will all be together praising God again and continuing to make His kingdom a reality. God bless you all and Happy Easter!

In Christ, Fr. Jeff

En el Evangelio de hoy, a Jesús no se le ve por ningún lado. Sin embargo, nos dice que Pedro y Juan “vieron y creyeron”.

¿Qué fue lo que vieron? Lienzos funerarios que yacían en el piso de una tumba vacía. Talvez eso les convenció de que el cuerpo no se lo habían robado ladrones de sepulcros, quienes frecuentemente se llevaban los costosos linos funerarios y dejaban los cadáveres.

Es notoria la repetición de la palabra “tumba”: siete veces en nueve versículos. Ellos vieron la tumba vacía y creyeron lo que Cristo había prometido: que Dios lo resucitaría al tercer día.

Como nos dice la primera lectura de hoy, los apóstoles fueron escogidos para ser “sus testigos” y fueron “encargados de…predicar… y testificar” a todos los que no habían visto; desde la unción de Jesús con el Espíritu Santo en el Jordán hasta la tumba vacía.

Más allá de su propia experiencia, fueron instruidos en los misterios de la economía divina, del plan de salvación de Dios, para saber que todos los profetas habían testificado sobre Él (cf, Lc 24,27.44)

Ahora podían “comprender las Escrituras”; podían enseñarnos todo lo que Él les había dicho: que Él era “la piedra que desecharon los constructores”, de quien el salmo de hoy profetizó su resurrección y exaltación (cf. Lc 20,17; Mt 21,42; Hch 4,11).

Somos los hijos de los testigos apostólicos. Por eso nos seguimos reuniendo el primer día de cada semana, temprano por la mañana, para celebrar el banquete de la tumba vacía y dar gracias por Cristo “vida nuestra”, como le llama la epístola de hoy.

Bautizados en su muerte y resurrección, vivimos la vida celestial de Cristo resucitado y nuestras vidas están “escondidas con Cristo en Dios”. Ahora también somos sus testigos. Pero damos testimonio de cosas que no podemos ver, sino solo creer; buscamos en las cosas de la tierra lo que está arriba.

Vivimos en la memoria del testimonio de los apóstoles. Como ellos, comemos y bebemos con el Señor resucitado en el altar. Y aguardamos con esperanza por lo que los apóstoles nos dijeron que vendría: el día en que también

When Christ who is our life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

Colossians 3:4

TODAY’S READINGS FIRST READING Peter is an eyewitness: The Lord is risen. Acts 10:34a, 37-43

PSALM This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Psalm 118

SECOND READING (1) All who are baptized, set your hearts in heaven. Colossians 3:1-4 or

(2) Christ our Passover is sacrificed; therefore let us celebrate. 1 Corinthians 5:6b-8

GOSPEL Three witnesses, Mary, Peter, and John; each responds to the empty tomb. John 20:1-9 or Matthew 28:1-10 or Luke 24:13-35

THEY SAW AND BELIEVED

Jesus is nowhere visible. Yet today’s Gospel tells us that Peter and John “saw and believed.”

What did they see? Burial shrouds lying on the floor of an empty tomb. Maybe that convinced them that He hadn’t been carted off by grave robbers, who usually stole the expensive burial linens and left the corpses behind.

But notice the repetition of the word “tomb” — seven times in nine verses. They saw the empty tomb and they believed what He had promised: that God would raise Him on the third day.

Chosen to be His “witnesses,” today’s First Reading tells us, the Apostles were “commissioned...to preach...and testify” to all that they had seen— from His anointing with the Holy Spirit at the Jordan to the empty tomb.

More than their own experience, they were instructed in the mysteries of the divine economy, God’s saving plan—to know how “all the prophets bear witness” to Him (see Luke 24:27, 44).

Now they could “understand the Scripture,” could teach us what He had told them—that He was “the Stone which the builders rejected,” who, today’s Psalm prophesies, will be resurrected and exalted. (see Luke 20:17; Matthew 21:42; Acts 4:11).

We are the children of the apostolic witnesses. That is why we still gather early in the morning on the first day of every week to celebrate this feast of the empty tomb and give thanks for “Christ our life,” as today’s Epistle calls Him.

Baptized into His death and Resurrection, we live the heavenly life of the risen Christ in God.” We are now His witnesses, too. But we testify to things we cannot see but only believe; we seek in earthly things what is above.

We live in memory of the Apostles’ witness, like them eating and drinking with the risen Lord at the altar. And we wait in hope for what the Apostles told us would come—the day when we too “will appear with Him in glory.”

La Coronilla a la Divina Misericordia

La Coronilla a la Divina Misericordia se reza con un rosario común.

1. Haga la señal de la Cruz En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.

2. Recite la oración inicial (opcional) Expiraste, Jesús, pero la fuente de vida brotó para las almas y el mar de misericordia se abrió para el mundo entero. Oh fuente de vida, insondable Misericordia Divina, abarca al mundo entero y derrámate sobre nosotros (Diario, 1319). Oh Sangre y Agua que brotaste del Corazón de Jesús, como una Fuente de Misericordia para nosotros, en Ti confío (Diario, 84). Primero se reza una vez el Padre Nuestro, el Ave María y el Credo de los Apóstoles.

3. Recite el Padre Nuestro Padre Nuestro, que estás en el cielo, santificado sea Tu nombre; venga a nosotros Tu reino; hágase Tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día; perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden; no nos dejes caer en la tentación, y líbranos del mal. Amén.

4. Recite el Ave María Dios te salve María, llena eres de gracia, el Señor es contigo, bendita eres entre todas las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores, ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén.

5. Recite el Credo de los Apóstoles Creo en Dios, Padre Todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en Jesucristo, Su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado, descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos, subió a los cielos y está sentado a la derecha de Dios Padre Todopoderoso. Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la santa Iglesia Católica, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de la carne y la vida eterna. Amén.

6. Recite el "Padre Eterno" En las cuentas grandes del Padre Nuestro antes de cada decena: Padre Eterno, Te ofrezco el Cuerpo y la Sangre, el Alma y la Divinidad de Tu Amadísimo Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, como propiciación de nuestros pecados y los del mundo entero.

7. Recite diez veces "Por Su dolorosa Pasión" en las cuentas del Ave María Por Su dolorosa Pasión, ten misericordia de nosotros y del mundo entero.

8. Repita por cuatro decenas, recitando el "Padre Eterno" en la cuenta grande del "Padre Nuestro" y "Por Su dolorosa Pasión" en las cuentas pequeñas del "Ave María".

9. Después de cinco decenas, la doxología final (tres veces) Santo Dios, Santo Fuerte, Santo Inmortal, ten piedad de nosotros y del mundo entero.

10. Recite la oración final (opcional) Oh Dios Eterno, en quien la misericordia es infinita y el tesoro de compasión inagotable, vuelve a nosotros Tu mirada bondadosa y aumenta Tu misericordia en nosotros, para que en momentos difíciles no nos desesperemos ni nos desalentamos, sino que, con gran confianza, nos sometamos a Tu santa voluntad, que es el Amor y la Misericordia Mismos.

Novena: 10 de abril hasta el

Domingo de la Divina Misericordia

19 de Abril

Origen del Domingo de la Misericordia Divina, la Imagen,

la Coronilla y la Novena

Santa Faustina: la necesidad que tiene la humanidad para el mensaje de la Misericordia divina cobró gran urgencia en el siglo XX, cuando la civilización empezó para experimentar el “eclipse del sentido de Dios” y, por tanto comenzó a perder el entendimiento de la santidad y dignidad inherente de la vida humana.

En la década de 1930, Jesús escogió una humilde monja polaca, Sta. María Faustina Kowalska, para que recibiera revelaciones privadas sobre la Miseri-cordia divina que constató en su Diario, por ejemplo:

Hija Mía, habla al mundo entero de Mi inconcebible misericordia. Deseo que la Fiesta de la Misericordia sea refugio y protección para todas las almas, especialmente para los pobres pecadores. Ese día están abiertas las entrañas de Mi misericordia. Derramo todo un mar de gracias sobre las almas que se acercan al manantial de Mi misericordia El alma que se confiese y reciba la Santa Comunión obtendrá el perdón total de las culpas y de las penas. ... Que ningún alma tema acercarse a Mí. ... Deseo que se celebre solemnemente el primer domingo después de la Pascua La humanidad no conocerá la paz hasta que no se dirija a la Fuente de Mi misericordia. (Diario, 699)

El 5 de mayo de 2000, cinco días después de la canonización de Sta. Faustina, el Vaticano decretó que el Segundo Domingo de Pascua desde ese momento sería conocido como el Domingo de la Misericordia Divina.

The Chaplet of The Divine Mercy

The Chaplet of Mercy is recited using ordinary rosary beads of five decades.

1. Make the Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

2. Optional Opening Prayers You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

(Repeat three times)

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

3. Our Father Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

4. Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

5. The Apostle's Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

6. The Eternal Father Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

7. On the Ten Small Beads of Each Decade For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

8. Repeat for the remaining decades Saying the "Eternal Father" (6) on the "Our Father" bead and then 10 "For the sake of His sorrowful Passion" (7) on the following "Hail Mary" beads.

9. Conclude with Holy God (Repeat three times) Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

10. Optional Closing Prayer Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.

Origin of Divine Mercy Sunday, the Divine Mercy image,

the Chaplet, and the Novena

Saint Faustina: Mankind’s need for the message of Divine Mercy took on dire urgency in the 20th Century, when civilization began to experience an “eclipse of the sense of God” and, therefore to lose the understanding of the sanctity and inherent dignity of human life.

In the 1930s, Jesus chose a humble Polish nun, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, to receive private revelations concerning Divine Mercy that were recorded in her Diary, for example:

My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the Fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. … Let no soul fear to draw near to Me. … It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy. (Diary, no. 699)

On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of St. Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.

Novena: April 10th through
