Divine Mercy Sunday 3:00 PM at St. Barnabas This message and devo on to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the wri ngs of Saint Faus na Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedi‐ence to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revela ons she received about God's mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devo on to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread.

On Divine Mercy Sunday, we will cele‐brate this devo on in the church at 3 pm. If you are unfamiliar with the Di‐vine Mercy message, please go to www.thedivinemercy.org.

For Those Who Cook Meals For Father Adrian, Please Note… Father Adrian will be away at mes throughout the month of April, so he requests that meals not be prepared for him during the month of April. Please resume in May. Thank you to those that par cipate in this ministry that helps our pastor make the best use of his me in his service to us.

Thank You… to all who helped us prepare and celebrate our Holy Week and Easter Masses. Much work by the Liturgical Commission went into preparing our church for the season, se ng up the social hall to accommodate increased Mass a endance, and providing food and assistance at our Easter Vigil recep on. We are blessed to have such faithful and dedicated stewards of our church!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

F or many centuries, Chris an pilgrims have

longed to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, and

on Passion Sunday the eyes of the world are on

the Via Dolorosa, the “Road of Sorrows,” in Jerusalem. As

soon as it became safe for Chris ans to worship in public

in the fourth century, a way was marked out. It was

changed a few mes over the years, and today’s usual

route was sketched by the Franciscans six hundred years

ago, although Anglicans and Byzan nes have their own

unique detours. Friday is the most favored day, although

it is crowded then. Almost everyone begins at the Lion’s

Gate in the Muslim Quarter, and ends at the Church of

the Holy Sepulchre. It’s less than a quarter mile, but it

threads its way through crowded markets with souvenir

shops and fast‐food snacks. There are, just as in your par‐

ish church, fourteen sta ons along the way. The exact

spots are not known, but what ma ers is the pilgrim’s

unique ability to see even an ordinary road in a teeming

city as something more than meets the eye. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SO THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE

I t is not o en that the author of one of the books of the Bible comes right out and tells us directly why he is wri ng what he is wri ng. In this Sun‐

day’s Gospel reading, taken from the conclusion of John’s Gospel, the author tells us that he has chosen to record these events so “that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name” (20:31). The le er of John echoes this idea by saying that “everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is be‐go en by God” (5:1)—what we might refer to as being “born again.” Our reading from the Acts of the Apostles for this Second Sunday of Easter shows us exactly what it looks like when believers are born again through faith.
