DIVINE MERCY
APRIL 20, 2014
Happy and Blessed Easter to each one of you
and your family! Rejoice and be glad! Jesus
is Risen! Alleluia! We wish and pray that you
encounter the Risen Lord and experience the
wonderful joy of newness in life. There are
many ways in which Jesus’ rising from the
dead is a sign of God’s constant work to bring
us out from so many things that can sap the
life out of us. Easter is the discovery of
newness of life in the midst of “tombs” and
also the real promise that “God can and does”
want us to be “fully alive”, renewed in spirit,
heart and mind. Fr. Ace and St. Joseph’s Staff

PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27th is here at St.
Joseph’s Church starting from 2:30 pm. Please
plan to attend.
On February 22nd, 1931 a young Polish nun Sister Faustina
Kowalska (now Saint Faustina) saw a vision of Jesus with rays of
mercy streaming from His Heart. He told her to have an image
painted to represent this vision and sign it” Jesus, I Trust in
You.” (This image resides in the prayer alcove at the back of the
Church.) In a series of revelations that followed between 1931
and 1938 He taught her that His mercy is unlimited and available
even to the greatest sinners. He revealed special ways for people
to respond to His mercy in their lives and He gave he several
promises (or those who would trust in His Mercy and show
Mercy to others. This devotion and Message of Divine Mercy has
now spread worldwide.
Mercy Sunday
Jesus also requested that the Sunday after Easter be officially
established in the Church as the Feast of Mercy. Today it is
celebrated as requested throughout the world as Mercy Sunday.
Jesus Said, “On that day the very depts. Of My tender mercy are
open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon souls who
approach the fount of My mercy (Diary 699)
The Canonization of Two Mercy Popes Divine Mercy Sunday,
April 27, 2014.
Saint Pope John XXIII
A warmth, kindness and humility consistently characterized
Pope John XXIII making him one of the most admired and loved
popes by both Catholics and non-Catholics. He’s popularly
known as “Good Pope John” who won so many hearts by his
informal style and grandfatherly mien. His Mercy legacy
particularly comes down to the Council he convened VaticanII
which was a kind of “mercy council.” While other ecumenical
Councils were apologetic in character (defending Church
doctrines against attacks of heresy) VaticanII was the first
Pastoral Council. As Pope John XXIII put it when he opened the
Council “Nowadays… (The Church) prefers to make use of the
medicine of Mercy rather than that of severity.
Saint Pope John Paul II
Saint Pope John Paul II wholeheartedly took up the theme of
Mercy. He powerfully proclaimed mercy in one of in one of his
first encyclical letters RICH IN MERCY (Dives in Misericordia).
He pushed for the canonization of Sister Faustina and promoted
the modern message of Divine Mercy as a concrete way to help
people appreciate the truth of God’s merciful love. In 2000 he
officially declared the Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy
Sunday. He said “How much the world needs to understand and
accept Divine Mercy.”
Let us then learn from these two new Mercy Saints to Have Trust in
Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That in learning more
about Jesus and His Church we will be compelled to share this love with
others.
The faithful who would observe Divine Mercy Sunday with
intense devotion will be grated a Plenary Indulgence. (granted
under the usual conditions sacramental confession, Eucharistic
communion and prayer for the intention of the Supreme Pontiff.
