April 23, 2017 Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy), Year A

St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen: from Swabia; known as the “lawyer of the poor” before becoming a Capuchin.

St. Mark: wrote the second Gospel based on St. Peter’s perspective.; accompanied Sts. Paul and Barnabas on their missionary journey to Cyprus and is credited with founding the Church of Alexandria.

St. Peter Chanel; born a peasant in France, he was ordained a priest and entered the Society of Mary; sent to evangelize the Marshall Islands; despite adversities, he baptized natives, including chieftain’s son. St. Louis Grignion de Montfort: hospital chaplain and founder of Congregation of Daughters of Wisdom; apostolic missionary, established numerous confraternities for recitation of rosary.

In 1931, Jesus appeared to St. Faustina and asked that the Sunday after Easter become the “Feast of Mercy.” Jesus promised that anyone who honors him as the King of Mercy and prays The Chaplet of Divine Mercy-the prayer will receive special graces and great mercy.

Adoration noon – 6:00pm Confession 6:00 Rosary, Evening Prayers 6:00 Solemn Benediction 6:45

A SEASON OF JOY “They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the

communal life, to the breaking of bread and to the prayers” (Acts 2:42). This first line of today’s

first reading sets the tone as this fifty-day celebration of Easter opens before us. Today we listen to

the teachings of three apostles—Luke, Peter, and John—who remind us that even though we have

not seen Christ, we nonetheless are filled with joy as we place our belief in his saving death and

resurrection. Each week during the Easter season we will gather as a community of faith to find

strength and support from our God and from one another. Each week we will gather to break

bread and offer the great prayer of thanksgiving, actions that will manifest very presence of risen

Christ in our midst. Let us be open to the wonders of this season of joy.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — All who believed were devoted to the teachings of the apostles, the communal life, the breaking of the bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42-47). Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting (Psalm 118). Second Reading — God has given us an undiminished inheritance, safeguarded for us in heaven (1 Peter 1:3-9). Gospel — The risen Christ comes to his disciples with peace and the Spirit. The absent Thomas doubts

Baltimore Catechism

Q. What is forbidden by the Eighth Commandment?

A. The Eighth Commandment forbids all rash judgments, backbiting, slanders, and lies.

“Rash judgment”-that is, having in your mind and really believing that a person is guilty of a certain sin when you have no reason for thinking so, and no evidence that he is guilty. “Backbiting”-that is, talking evil of persons behind their backs. Never listen to a backbiter, detractor, or slanderer-it is sinful. Another way of injuring your neighbor is revealing the secrets he has confided to you. If ever, then, you hear one person saying anything bad about another, never go and tell it to the person of whom it was said. If you do, you will be the cause of all the sin that follows from it-of anger, hatred, revenge, and probably murder itself, as sometime happens.

Q. What must they do who have lied about their neighbor s and seriously injured his character?

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The origins of the custom of burning a lamp

before the tabernacle are in Jewish worship,

where a lamp called ner tamid or “eternal

flame” burns before the ark in every synagogue.

The ark contains the sacred scrolls of the Torah.

The flame represents the menorah in the Temple,

and therefore is never extinguished. In fact, the

word “tabernacle” itself is derived from Hebrew,

as taber is the Hebrew word for “tent,” and

hearkens back to the forty years of wandering in

the desert. The pilgrim people were sustained in

hope by an awareness that God was not only in

the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by

night, but had quite literally “pitched his tent

with them” in the shelter for the Ark of the

Covenant. Some artisans have used this theme

of “ark” or “tent” to design a tabernacle for the

Blessed Sacrament. In Christian practice,

Anglicans and Catholics use a sanctuary lamp

to point toward the presence of the reserved

sacrament, and Lutherans use it as a sign of

God’s presence in the house of worship, but not

necessarily as a clue that the Eucharist is

reserved. Why, even in an age of electric light, is

the sanctuary lamp an oil light or candle?

Perhaps not only to point to Christ, the light of

the world, but also to point to sacrifice. For the

light to exist, there must be sacrifice. The oil or

wax is transformed into light, just as those who

pray here, or who will receive viaticum from

here, are called to transformation in Christ.

“The only kid who ….” Do your children complain about not being

allowed to do all that their friends are allowed to

do? The truth is, Christian parents know that sin is

much more available to children at younger

ages these days. To keep children

strong, LIMITS ARE A PARENT’S BEST TOOL.

We know that children are ours

only for a short while and then will

answer to their real Father.
