BREAKING OPEN THE WORD Divine Mercy Sunday ~ April 19, 2020
Act of the Apostles 2:42-47
The Resurrection’s transforming power is apparent in the readings for Divine Mercy Sunday. The first reading offers us an insight into the life of the first Christians who were transformed by the Risen Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. What are you planning to do once we are able to return to our daily lives as before? How can these plans include Jesus?
1 Peter 1:3-9 In the second reading we read that we rejoice, “even though you may have to suffer through various trials, the God, the Father, “…in His great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus…to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and I fading. What good have you seen come from the trials of this novel virus?
John 20:19-31 Reread the Gospel for this Divine Mercy Sunday. Savor the account of Jesus wishing peace to the frightened apostles as He appears to them and shows them His wounds, the signs of His love. Like Thomas, what can help you with your unbelief that Jesus is truly with us during this pandemic? Bring this to the feet of Jesus.
SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PRAYER PROGRAM
Fifth Month
Your baby weighs over 1 pound now. Their mother regularly feels little feet and elbows poking her. It seems when their mother is quiet and still that your little baby likes to stir things up! Your baby is developing their own sleeping habits as well as their fingernails and toenails. If they were to be born now, your baby would have a chance of surviving with lots of medical help. We are mid-way through the pregnancy now. Your prayers have helped your baby’s mother continue with her pregnancy and seek the help she needs. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”

Let us pray for those who SERVE and PROTECT… All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native land and departed from his people, You kept him safe through all his journeys. Protect these soldiers. Be their constant companion and their strength in battle, their refuge in every adversity. Guide them, O Lord, that they may return home in safety. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
The Corner
Brought to you by your Evangelization Team
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16-17

PRAYER FOR OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS Compassionate God, from the shores of the river Jordan to the steps of the Temple Mount, You have cared for the well-being of Your people. Your healing teaches us Your compassion for our frailty. Thank you for caring for us no matter our status in this world. We ask Your blessing on those who emulate You as they provide the ministry of healing to all those in need. Guide, bless and encourage Your faithful health care servants, who willingly jeopardize their own, and their families’, health and safety to confront sickness and disease. Enable them to relieve suffering and assist in the healing process. Lord, You loved us enough to walk in our midst on a disease-filled earth. Even now, abide in with us and surround all engaged in the healing sciences and arts. Bless them as they labor for You in stressful, anxious and sometimes threatening settings. Keep them close in Your loving embrace. Guide researchers as they seek greater understanding of Your universe and develop vaccines and treatments that will reduce suffering and death. Enable suppliers who ensure materials and equipment are available as needed using creativity as they sometimes seek to do more with less. Encourage the families of health care workers as they support them in their call, knowing that through their loved ones, lives are saved and Your tenderness is known. Provide Your health care servants rest during wearisome hours of constant demand. Dispense comfort in moments of loss or setback. Grant peace that goes beyond human understanding. In our present surroundings that tempt us to despair, may we all come together as part of Your global community and embrace the love of Christ for all precious souls. Help us overcome our fears and unite across all borders of every type to share, manufacture, support and supply knowledge, equipment and resources. Your kingdom is a place of plenty. Let us live in Your abundance knowing You provide enough for all. In Your mercy, Lord, grant health. Bless those You have called to be Your hands and feet in healing and the provision of care. May they always know how thankful we are for their gifts, service and sacrifice. Hear our prayer, O Lord. Amen.
