...Fr. David Regan

On April 11, 2021 we will honor and celebrate Divine

Mercy Sunday. This Solemnity was instituted by St. Pope

John Paul II on April 30, 2000. He declared “It is

important that we accept the whole message that comes

to us from the word of God on this Second Sunday of

Easter, which from now on throughout the Church, will be

called ‘Divine Mercy Sunday.’” By these words, “The

whole message” the Holy Father was referring to the

strict connection between the “Easter Mystery of the

Redemption” the suffering, death, burial, resurrection,

ascension and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at

Pentecost.

In this regard, the Holy Father also said, citing the

Responsorial Psalm of the Sacred Liturgy, “the Church

sings… as if receiving from Christ’s lips these words of

the Psalm” (That is, give thanks to the Lord for He is

good: His steadfast love (MERCY) endures forever

(Ps. 118:1). The Holy Father further developed the

connection as he states: “This comes from the lips of the

risen Christ, who bears the great message of Divine

Mercy and entrusts its ministry to the Apostles in the

Upper Room: ‘Peace be with you, as the Father has sent

Me, so I sent you… receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive

the sins of any they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of

any, they are retained” (Jn 20:21-23).

The Holy Father said, “Before speaking these words,

Jesus shows His hands and His side. He points, that is,

to the wounds of the Passion, especially the wounds in

His Heart, the source from which flows the great wave of

mercy poured out for humanity.”

“From that Heart, Sister Faustina… whom from now on

we will call a saint, will see two rays of light shining from

that Heart and illuminating the world: ‘The two rays,’

Jesus Himself explained to her one day, ‘represented

blood and water’ (Diary 299).

“Blood and water! We immediately think of the

testimony given by the Evangelist John, who, when a

soldier on Calvary pierced Christ’s side with his spear,

sees blood and water flowing form it (John 19:34).

Moreover, if the blood recalls the sacrifice of the Cross

and the gift of the Eucharist, the water… represents not

only Baptism but also the gift of the Holy Spirit (Jn 3:5;

4:14; 7:37-39).

“Divine Mercy reaches human beings through the

Heart of Christ crucified: ‘Tell, my daughter, (All people)

that I am Love and Mercy itself ‘Jesus will ask of

Sr. Faustina (Diary 1074). Christ pours out this mercy for

all humanity through the sending of the Holy Spirit who,

in the Trinity, is the Person-Love. And is not mercy love’s

‘send name (Rich in Mercy, 7), understood in the deepest

and most tender aspect, in its ability to take upon itself

the burden of any need and especially, in its most

immense capacity for forgiveness.”

From this teaching of the Holy Father on that most

solemn occasion of his “presenting the life and witness

of St. Faustina to the whole Church as a gift of God to our

time,” It can be deduced that the most opportune time,

the most proper one, for the solemn honoring of the

Divine Mercy falls immediately after the Paschal Feast

of Easter, recalling the attaining of our Redemption.

St. Augustine called the eight days of Easter ‘Days of

mercy and pardon’. He calls the Sunday of this Paschal

Octave “…the summary of the days of mercy.” (Sermon

156, Dom. In Albis). We honor this day by: 1) Celebrat-

ing Sunday (going to Mass); 2) Sincerely repenting of all

our sins; 3) Placing our complete trust in Jesus; 4) Going

to Confession; 5) Receiving Holy Communion in a state

of Sanctifying Grace; 6) Venerating the Image of Diving

Mercy; and 7) Being merciful!

...Fr. David Regan

El 11 de abril de 2021 honraremos y celebraremos

el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia. Esta Solemnidad

fue instituida por San Juan Pablo II el 30 de abril de

2000. Él Declaró “Es importante que acojamos todo

el mensaje que nos llega de la Palabra de Dios en este

Segundo Domingo de Pascua, que a partir de ahora la

Iglesia, lo llamará 'Domingo de la Divina Misericordia' ”.

Con estas palabras “Todo el mensaje”, el Santo Padre se

refería a la estricta conexión entre el “Misterio pascual

de la redención”, el sufrimiento, la muerte, el entierro,

la resurrección, la ascensión y el derramamiento

del Espíritu Santo en Pentecostés.

Al respecto, el Santo Padre también dijo, citando

el Salmo Responsorial de la Sagrada Liturgia, “la Iglesia

canta... como si recibiera de labios de Cristo estas

palabras del Salmo” (es decir, den gracias al Señor

porque es bueno: Su amor inquebrantable

(MISERICORDIA) perdura para siempre (Sal. 118: 1).

El Santo Padre desarrolló aún más la conexión cuando

declaró: “Esto proviene de los labios de Cristo resucita-

do, quien lleva el gran mensaje de la Divina Misericordia

y confía su ministerio a los Apóstoles en el Cenáculo:

"La paz sea con ustedes, como el Padre me envió, así yo

los envío... reciban el Espíritu Santo. Si perdonan los

pecados de alguno, ellos serán perdonados; si retienen

los pecados de alguno, serán retenidos "(Jn 20, 21-23).

El Santo Padre dijo" Antes de pronunciar estas

palabras, Jesús muestra las manos y el costado. Señala,

es decir, las llagas de la Pasión, especialmente las

llagas de Su Corazón, la fuente de donde brota la gran

ola de misericordia derramada para la humanidad”.

De ese Corazón, Sor Faustina… a quien de ahora en

adelante llamaremos santa, verá dos rayos de luz brillar

de ese Corazón e iluminar el mundo: ' Los dos rayos —

le explicó Jesús mismo un día— representaban la sangre

y el agua (Diario 299).

“¡Sangre y agua! Inmediatamente pensamos en

el testimonio del evangelista Juan, quien, cuando un

soldado en el Calvario traspasó el costado de Cristo con

su lanza, ve sangre y agua fluir de él (Juan 19:34).

Además, si la sangre recuerda el sacrificio de la Cruz y

el don de la Eucaristía, el agua… representa no solo

el Bautismo sino también el don del Espíritu Santo

(Jn 3, 5; 4, 14; 7, 37-39).

“La Divina Misericordia llega a los hombres a través

del Corazón de Cristo crucificado: 'Dime, hija mía, (a

todos) que yo soy el Amor y la Misericordia misma',

le pedirá Jesús a Sor Faustina (Diario 1074). Cristo

derrama esta misericordia por toda la humanidad

mediante el envío del Espíritu Santo que, en la Trinidad,

es la Persona-Amor. Y no es el nombre de envío del amor

de la misericordia (Rico en misericordia, 7), entendido

en el aspecto más profundo y tierno, en su capacidad

para asumir el peso de cualquier necesidad y, especial-

mente, en su más inmensa capacidad de perdón.

De esta enseñanza del Santo Padre en la más

solemne ocasión de “presentar la vida y el testimonio

de santa Faustina a toda la Iglesia como un don de Dios

a nuestro tiempo”, se deduce que el tiempo más oportu-

no, el más apropiado, porque la honra solemne de

la Divina Misericordia cae inmediatamente después de

la fiesta pascual de Pascua, recordando el logro de

nuestra Redención.

San Agustín llamó a los ocho días de Pascua "Días

de misericordia y perdón". Él llama al domingo de esta

Octava Pascual "... el resumen de los días de la miseri-

cordia". (Sermón 156, Dom. En Albis) Honramos este

día al: 1) Celebrar el domingo (Ir a misa); 2) Arrepentirse

sinceramente de todos nuestros pecados; 3) Poner toda

nuestra confianza en Jesús; 4) Confesión; 5) Recibir

la Sagrada Comunión en estado de Gracia Santificante;

6) Venerar la imagen de la misericordia que se zambulle;

y 7) ¡Ser misericordioso!

HOLY WEEK LITURGIES at Holy Name of Mary

Palm Sunday, March 28, 2021

Masses: Saturday - 5:00pm

Sunday - 7:15am, 9:00am, 11:00am

Spanish Masses: 1:00pm and 7:00pm

Monday, March 29, 2021

Reconciliation: 3:00pm-9:00pm

(Priests are available to hear Confessions every

Saturday, 3:30pm-4:30pm, except Holy Saturday,

or by appointment. Confession is available after each

weekend Mass through Palm Sunday.)

The Paschal Triduum, Latin for “three days”, commemorates Christ’s redemptive journey through death, burial and resurrection to new life. The Church observes the Triduum as a single event made up of three distinct parts. In accordance with the custom in biblical times, each “day” begins in the evening.

Holy Thursday, April 1, 2021

Morning Prayer: 9:00am

Mass of the Lord’s Supper: 8:00pm (Bi-Lingual) The first day of the Triduum is filled with the action

of Christ’s self-gift. The Mass of the Lord’s Supper on the

evening of Holy Thursday commemorates Christ’s command

that we “love one another”. Symbolized in the washing of the

feet, the great commission of Christ is made concrete in the

Eucharist as well as in Jesus’ crucifixion on Calvary. The first

day of the Paschal Triduum culminates in the solemn veneration

of the cross on Good Friday.

Good Friday, April 2, 2021

Morning Prayer: 9:00am

Stations of the Cross: 11:00am (in Spanish)

Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion:

3:00pm (English) 7:00pm (Spanish)

Diocesan collection: Holy Land The second day of the Triduum is filled with the silence of the

tomb. The solemnity of Good Friday continues throughout the

day of Holy Saturday. The Church celebrates no Eucharistic

liturgy during the day, but silently prepares for the Easter Vigil

celebration in the evening. As Jesus remained in the tomb, so

the Church as a whole awaits the coming of the Lord.

Holy Saturday, April 3, 2021

Morning Prayer: 9:00am (with Blessing of Food)

Easter Vigil: 8:00pm (Bi-Lingual) The third day of the Triduum is filled with the wonder of the

resurrection. The Easter Vigil is the high point of the liturgical

year. The drama of the lighting of the new fire, the blessing of

the Paschal candle and the Easter proclamation in the

candlelit Church set the stage for the recounting of the story

of salvation in the Scripture readings. “Alleluia” once again

greets the Gospel, and following the homily, we celebrate

baptism and the renewal of our baptismal promises. The

Paschal Triduum officially concludes on Easter Sunday, but

the wonder of the Easter Season extends for a full 50 days.

Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021

Masses: 7:15am, 9:00am, 11:00am

Spanish Masses: 1:00pm and 7:00pm

What the Saints say about St. Joseph….

“In these latter times in which a monstrous and most abominable war has been declared against the Church of Christ...we should more efficaciously implore the compassion of God through the merits and intercession of St. Joseph.” —Blessed Pope Pius IX

“There are many saints to whom God has given the power to assist us in the necessities of life, but the power given to St. Joseph is unlimited: It extends to all our needs, and all those who invoke him with confidence are sure to be heard.” —St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church

“He (St. Joseph), is the proof that in order to be a good and genuine follower of Jesus Christ, there is no need of great things—it is enough to have the common, simple and human virtues, but they need to be true and authentic.” —Pope St. Paul VI

“I do not remember even now that I have ever asked anything of him (St. Joseph) which he has failed to grant. I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through this blessed saint, and at the perils from which he has freed me, both in body and in soul.” —St. Teresa of Avila, Doctor of the Church

YOU are invited to pray the Stations of the Cross

as we walk with Jesus every Friday evening during Lent

7:00pm (English) 7:30pm (Spanish) through March 26th.

“Surely, there will be moments when faith can waver, when it seems that God does not see or act… And it is true too

in these days of global health crisis and great insecurity. At times like these, remember that Jesus is by your side.

Do not stop dreaming! Do not give up! Do not lose hope! From heaven the saints are watching over us. Let us pray

to them and never tire of begging their intercession… Let them accompany you to a better future, a future of hope.”

~Pope Francis

Spanish-born St. Turibius of Mogrovejo was a pious youth,

devoted to prayer and service of the poor. Known for his

holiness and wisdom, he was chosen to be a missionary

archbishop for the Spanish colony in Peru. In 1580, he was

named archbishop of Lima, Peru; he then received Holy

Orders and was ordained a bishop. Throughout his 25 years

of missionary service, he labored to build up the local

Church. He convened diocesan and provincial synods, made

pastoral visits around the vast diocese—often on foot, and

implemented clergy reforms to root out corruption. He also

protected the rights of the native Indian people from the

oppression of the Spanish colonists. To better care for the

physical and spiritual needs of the people, he introduced

several European religious orders into Peru and founded

schools, churches, and hospitals. He also opened the first

seminary in the New World and encouraged native Indians to

become priests. He baptized and confirmed many into the

Christian faith, including St. Rose of Lima and St. Martin de

Porres. Feast Day: March 23

PENITENTIAL ACT I confess to almighty God And to you, my brothers and sisters, That I have greatly sinned, In my thoughts and in my words, In what I have done and In what I have failed to do, (Pray while striking the breast three times)

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; Therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, All the Angels and Saints, And you, my brothers and sisters, To pray for me to the Lord our God. GLORIA Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

NICENE CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

(At the words that follow, up to and including

and became man, bow your head) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
