An emphasis on personal
relationships suffuses the
theology of these chapters,
John 14-17. Jesus calls the
disciples “no longer serv-
ants…but friends” (John
15:15, NASB). They work
for him, but in a spirit of
friendship and collegiality. It
is in the fullest sense of the
term a family business. The work and the relationships intertwine, for Je-
sus is not working on his own. “The words that I say to you I do not speak
on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me
that I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:10-11). Neither
will the disciples be left as orphans to muddle through the world as best
they can (John 14:18). Through the Spirit, Jesus will be with them, and
they will do the same things he has been doing (John 14:12).
This is deeper than it may appear. It does not mean merely that after Je-
sus dies, his disciple/friends can still experience him in prayer. It means
that they are active participants in the world-creation/restoration that fuels
the loving relationship between the Father and the Son. They do the work
of the Son and Father, and they join the intimacy of the Son and Father
(and the Spirit, as we shall see in a moment). The Father shows his love
for the Son by allowing him to share in the glory of world formation and re-
creation. The Son shows his love for the Father by ever and only doing his
will, making and remaking the world for the Father’s glory according to the
Father’s wishes in the power of the Spirit. The disciple/friends enter into
this ever-flowing love of the Father, Son, and Spirit, not only by mystical
reflection but also by embracing the Son’s mission and working as he did.
The call to share in the love is inextricable from the call to share in the
labor. The prayer, “I in them and you in me, that they may become com-
pletely one” (John 17:23), is matched by, “As you sent me into the world, I
have sent them into the world” (John 17:18), and it issues forth in “Do you
love me?...Feed my sheep” (John 21:17).
An essential aspect of human labor is the opportunity it provides for fel-
lowship through common projects. For many people, ministry/workplace
provides the most significant context outside family for personal relation-
ships. Even those who work alone — inside or outside their own homes—
are typically enmeshed in a web of relationships. We have seen that Je-
sus calls his disciples not only as co-laborers but also as a community of
friends. The relational aspect of work is not an accidental by-product of an
essentially utilitarian enterprise of labor. Rather, it is an absolutely critical
component of work itself, going back to the time when Adam and Eve
worked together in the garden. “Then the LORD God said, ‘It is not good
that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner,’”
says the Lord God (Genesis 2:18). The creation becomes the means of
interpersonal connection as humans work alongside one another, and in
so doing enter into God’s labor to bring creation to its fulfillment.
This can be a tremendous encouragement to project-oriented people who
are sometimes made to feel unspiritual because of their reluctance to
spend an abundance of time talking about their feelings. Talking with other
people is a necessary activity for developing relationships, but we should
not neglect the importance of doing work as a means for nurturing rela-
tionships. Working together can build relationships in and of itself. It is no
accident that we spend a great deal of time working with and for other
people. Modeled on God’s own work within the Trinity, we are able to
find relationship in work. Work toward a common goal is one of the chief
ways God brings us together and makes us truly human. +
The Importance of
Ministry/Workplace
Relationships
(John 14:17)
Bible Commentary
Produced by TOW Project
St Paul writes to the Hebrews of the early church in Hebrews 1:12 about change.
In short we are reminded that the more things change the more they will become
the same which is expressive of the immutability of Christ, in his nature and perfec-
tions, in his person, and offices, in the virtue of his blood, righteousness, and sacri-
fice; and of his duration or continuance, in opposition to the fading and transitory
nature of the heavens and earth, and of all outward enjoyments: and this may
serve to take off the heart from the one, and set it upon the other; and to strength-
en our faith in Christ, and encourage us to expect a continuance of blessings from
him; all supplies of grace now, and eternal glory hereafter.
Change: Covid 19 has brought change to our ways of worship and social distanc-
ing has brought change in the way we fellowship. But the one forever constant is
that God will always provide for His sheep in His way. We are grateful for our
Lord’s Mercy and look forward to welcoming our new Parish Priest Father Eric
Flores as the new priest at Divine Mercy Catholic Church on July 1st.
Father Eric Flores
Page 3 “Pray without ceasing-”...I Thessalonians 5:17
Prayers of the Faithful, May 17, 2020
In the joy of the risen Lord we present our petitions to our heavenly
Father.
For the Holy Father, that he will have good health and faithfully fulfill his
role as the successor of Peter.
For the priests serving in this Diocese, that they will be given the grace
they need to persevere through the challenges brought by the Covid-19
pandemic.
For all those called to the priesthood or consecrated life in this Diocese,
that they will keep the commandments and come to know and respond
joyfully to the plan God has for their lives.
For all CFF students, parents and catechists that the Holy Spirit will
guide them in all that they do.
For unity in our nation and respect for life from conception to natural
death.
For all those in authority in our Local, State and Federal Government,
that they will be guided by the Holy Spirit in their decision making.
For peace and joy in our hearts, our homes, our families and in the
world.
For a cure for the coronavirus, healing for the sick, strength for their
families and courage and protection for those who care for them.
That God will have mercy on all those that have died and console those
that mourn their passing.
In Ecclesiastes 3 we learn
that God who made every-
thing suitable for its time is
also the one placing a
sense of past and future,
literally eternity, into human
consciousness, although
paradoxically despite know-
ing the reality of this eternity
(transcending the moment),
human beings can cope only with the moment. (Remember? One Holy
Moment at a time!)
We learn that everything has an appointed season and there is a time for
every matter under the heaven. There is a time for new beginnings; there’s a
time for endings; a time to start new plans, projects, ministries and a time to
grow those already planted. We soon will come to our time to heal from
Covid 19 and reunite with one another. And we will at that time continue to
climb our stairway to heaven and take as many of the faithful as we can
with us. And it will be time for Father Soane to retire.
Father Soane will close the everyday chapter of his priestly life at Divine
Mercy and open a new one as a retired priest
on June 28th. Father has been our Shepherd
for the last 10 years. He’s been heard to say as
he retires that he is thankful to all of those in the
ministries, and councils that he has worked with
for the work they have done for God. He will
look forward to saying Mass at various parish-
es, especially where he has served before. He
will spend time between South Sacramento,
where he has purchased a home and his home
island of Tonga. In Tonga he will spend time
with his mother who is now 93.
As he starts his retired life at the end of June we will ask that God richly
bless and watch over him; and grant him peace. +
The Ascension of our Lord is
an event that is commemorat-
ed by a feast day, usually
Thursday in the Sixth Week of
Easter. It’s also one of
the Glorious Mysteries of the
Rosary. When meditating on
the Ascension, I often think of
a good homily I heard a few
years ago at St. Patrick’s
Cathedral, given by a priest
who summarized our Lord’s
message before He ascended
into heaven in one word:
“Go”!
As Jesus told His Apostles right before His Ascension “Thus it is written...that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his [Christ's] name to
all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You yourselves are witnesses of
these things” (Luke 24:46-48).
He also said: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,
[see Acts 2:1-11] and you shall be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and in all
Judea and Samaria and even to the very ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
This prayer below brings our Lord’s stirring words to mind:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, right before your
Ascension into heaven you told your
apostles to be His witnesses to the ends
of the earth upon receiving the Holy
Spirit. May I be similarly inspired to
spread your Gospel message in word
and deed, according to your will for me.
And may I do so prudently and joyfully,
with your help, your guidance, and your grace! And remembering this glorious
event, help me to seek what is above, Heaven, where you are seated at the
right hand of God the Father!
In this scene, it's been forty days since Christ astounded His Apostles and
disciples by His Resurrection. Now, after ministering to them since then, it is
time for Him to return to His Father in heaven. Jesus fervently desires to make
heaven our true home as well.
Indeed, that’s why He sacrificed His life in His brutal Passion, to open the gates
of heaven and redeem sinful humanity! Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen confirmed
this when he said once that “Thanks to the death of Christ there was access to
heaven, access to the heavenly Father.”…+
The Gift of Presence
...on waking, I shall be content in your presence. Psalm 17:15
Do you greet the Lord when you wake? Some days I am sluggish and slow
to rouse, but I enjoy a few minutes resting in God’s loving presence before I
start the day. Other times I wake up alert and ready to go. But before I
start making my to-do list, I take a moment to remember that God was up
before me, doing more while I slept than I’ll do all day! This helps me
shape my own priorities for the day-and to make sure that God is one of
them. However you wake up, consider taking a moment to recognize that
the Lord is already present. He watches over you in the night and is ready
to be with you throughout the day. Then decide how you will respond to his
presence. Lord, when I wake, let me be filled with your presence!

ANGELS OF MERCY
Our catechists continue to send weekly CFF
lessons to their students through
emails. Some of them use Zoom to allow for
live interaction between them and the children
in their class. One catechist records a You
Tube video of him teaching and sends the link
to the parents so that the children could
watch. There were two catechists who went to
the CFF families’ houses to give the CFF text-
book to the children. Wow! Talk about how creative and resourceful our catechists
are in helping their charges get to know and love our Lord Jesus more and more!
May 17th/ 18th is the last day of CFF. Even if CFF ends on this day, all CFF fami-
lies are encouraged to give time to knowing the Lord Jesus more through (1) attend-
ing the weekly or daily Mass online, (2) Bible reading, Bible study, praying with
Scripture, (3) praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Rosary (especially this
month being the month dedicated to our Blessed Mother), and (4) being extra kind to
others. +
CFF News May 2020
Marriage and Family Life
Ministry continues during
Covid-19
MARRIAGE PREPARATION
Divine Mercy is complying with the
shutdown to protect our parishioners,
but Marriage and Family Life is pleased to be able to work virtually to continue
some parts of the marriage preparation program, when appropriate and safe.
We are continuing to look forward to completing our work with couples for those
parts that require in person visits later in the year when those type of visits are
permitted again.
For example, the Marriage and Family Life ministry has obtained approval from
the relationship Inventory program (FOCCUS) used in this diocese, to offer
some follow up classes for this portion of marriage prep virtually. We are com-
plying with the specific recommendations for conducting these virtual classes.
There are several couples in various stages of completing the requirements for
marriage preparation at Divine Mercy. We are excited to keep contact with the
couples preparing for marriage by zoom, email and by phone as appropriate.
We look forward to the day we can also have meetings in person, so all required
classes can be completed.
MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT
Our focus has been on Marriage Preparation, but we are also encouraging mar-
ried couples to access other resources for their marriage enrichment.
The pandemic has changed so many things in our lives, but we are able at Di-
vine Mercy to turn to our parish for virtual Mass, adoration and prayer. We are
blessed during this difficult time with resources for Catholics through so many
groups- such as Dynamic Catholic, Relevant Radio, Ascension Press and many
other on line resources. Checkout these marriage enrichment sites: thecou-
plespost.org and the 5lovelanguages.com.
WHAT TO EXPECT
FROM OUR PARISH
WHEN WE RETURN
go to: https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=R-Mm8tABqxg&t=16s
to see Father’s full video, detail-
ing these points.
Mathew 5:7 Blessed are the Merciful for
They Will Be Shown Mercy
The following topics and information are taken from the video that
Father (and Phil Serrano) made to answer some of our Parishioner
questions. To see the full video paste into your browser https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Mm8tABqxg&t=16s , you can go to
the church website at www.divinemercynatomas.com and you will
find a link that takes you to youtube on the bottom right side of the
page.
Are Masses allowed in our Diocese yet?
There hasn’t been any new updates from the Bishop, so the situation
remains the same as it was last Sunday.
Is our Parish prepared for public Masses Yet?
We are preparing. The Diocese has given instruction to each
church.
For example, what is the capacity of each church? Our church was
550 seated capacity pre-covid 19. When we are allowed to come
back we will only have 190 people that can be seated in our church.
If we use the Narthex, seating can be increased to 200.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR PARISH WHEN WE RETURN…
How many public Masses will be celebrated?
We will focus on one Mass at first. We have to make sure the Church is
sanitized before the people come in and again after the Mass. We are
going to ask all of the people to follow the Covid 19 guidelines and pro-
tect themselves and those around them by keeping social distance (6
feet or more), wearing a mask, and using sanitizer or washing your
hands often. If we are organized, we may have two Masses.
Our Bishop, Jaime Soto has given all parishes directions as to what to
do and what to prepare for when the time comes to allow people to
come back to public Mass. He has asked us to check our church to
make sure we have space and make sure there is 6 feet of space be-
tween seating areas, the families of 3 or 4 (as an example) may sit to-
gether. When we enter the Church, we will enter through one door.
Going out we will be able to use both of the doors.
With this there will be a need for more Ushers, to comfortably direct
people on where they should go.
Will the Parish be able to facilitate baptisms, weddings and funer-
als?
For Funeral and grave site services:
Again only 10. The funeral director, priest, lay
persons, etc. are included as part of the 10.
Baptism:
Still allowed the baptisms, no more than 10 people.
(There should be more information coming about
prep classes, etc...but for now this rule has been
announced.) There will be only 1 child per baptism.
First communion:
is postponed.
Confirmation:
for the young people is also postponed.
For RCIA :
The candidates who have already been bap-
tized, should be prepared to be accepted into
the church of course after their first commun-
ion. There are other items that will need to be
addressed, for example first confession; but for this moment in time the
rule is announced.) These celebrations will be conducted with the local
public health regulations in mind.
Weddings:
The direction from the Bishop about the Sacra-
ment of Marriage may be celebrated with groups
of no more than 10.
Confessions:
will continue as they have been at Divine Mercy and
the schedule is announced in the bulletin. For con-
fession you are reminded to maintain social distance
and wear a mask. Please was and sanitize your
hands.
Thank you for support of our Parish in every way, prayers, all that you
have done. Father is encouraging everyone to please be patient in all
things, what’s going on in our state, and we are encouraged to remain
obedient to the Bishop, to the authorities and pray. Pray with hope, pray
that soon this will be over and we will be coming back together again in
our church as a family to celebrate Mass.
Pray for the fortitude to be obedient so you can receive the graces from
God. +

Divine Mercy Parish will need more Ushers when the
Church begins the reopen. This will be a structured
