THE GIFT OF DIVINE MERCY This weekend, the Catholic Church celebrates the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. This feast traces its roots to St. Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun who received visions of Jesus in the 1930s, in which he revealed his merciful love for all people. At the Lord's direction, and with the permission of her spiritual director, St. Faustina recorded these visions in her Diary.
Jesus asked Faustina that an artist paint an image of himself, with rays of red and white light streaming from his heart, and the words "Jesus, I trust in You" (Diary, no. 47). The red and white rays on the image represent the blood and water that flowed from his side when pierced by the lance on Calvary (Diary, no. 299). Our Lord also asked St. Faustina to share that the Church keep the Sunday after Easter Sunday as a special feast of mercy (Diary, nos. 49, 299, 570). This devotion reminds us that no sin is outside the mercy of God and that he calls us to trust fully in his love. As we celebrate the joy of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday calls us to remember that the Resurrection stands as the greatest gift of God's mercy to us. THANK YOU!
Our Holy Week and Easter liturgies were a beautiful witness to our Catholic faith. A heartfelt thank you, especially to our musicians, decorators, and servers, whose generous gift of time and talent transformed our three churches into sacred spaces worthy of these great celebrations. May God bless you abundantly for all you do for our parishes.
A JOYFUL WELCOME
What a joy it was to welcome new members into our Catholic faith family at the Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 4. Please keep in your prayers those who were baptized, confirmed, and received into full communion with the Catholic Church. As they begin this new chapter of their lives in Christ, may our community support and encourage them by the witness of our own faith. Happy Easter, Fr. Frisoni WEEKDAY MASSES Our Lady of Mt.
