DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
Readings and Psalms: 838
Entrance: 595 Offertory: 447 Recessional: 445
In today's Gospel, a dispirited, frightened group of
disciples huddles together behind closed doors on the evening of Easter
Day. "For fear of the Jews," says John. This is after the destruction of the
Jewish Temple by the Romans that tore the hearts out of Judaism and precipitated a widening gap between the church and the synagogue. Consequently, Judaism became wary of anything which could be seen to weaken
it still further.
The disciples have realized, only too painfully, that by deserting Jesus in the hour of his passion and
death, they have also betrayed themselves. They are a wounded people, who may believe that Jesus has
risen from the dead, but what that means, and what it means for them, given their unfaithfulness, leaves
them in panicking ignorance. Then the Tomb Breaker himself, with his wounded, living body is among
them, breaking not only into their closed room but also into their despair.
The first gift of his resurrection that Jesus offers them is peace. The biblical opposite of "peace" is not
war, but "chaos," and over this chaotic, bewildered little gathering their Lord says, "Peace be with you."
This is not a passive, consoling peace as the world gives it (John 14:27), and as if to remind his disciples
of this, he immediately shows them his wounded hands and side. The disciples respond to their risen
Jesus' words and wounds with joy.
Then Jesus tells them that his gift of peace is also mission: the continuation of the mission on which
his Father had sent him and for which they must be enlivened by his Spirit. Jesus breathes on them, and
the word that John uses here for "breathe" is used nowhere else in the New Testament. It has all the nuances of the spirit/breath/wind of Genesis which brooded over the primeval chaos to bring forth new life
(Gen: 1:2).
When Jesus breathes over the disciples, the chaos of their lives becomes a new creation; their humanity is raised from the dust of disappointment and fear. Reconciled and raised by Jesus' Spirit/Breath, the
disciples are to continue the mission on which he had been sent by the Father: the reconciliation of
sinners.
During this time it happened that one of the disciples, Thomas, was absent when Jesus appeared to the
rest. Nowhere in the gospels is Thomas ever described as "doubting." But like his companions who did
not accept the testimony of Mary Magdalene about Jesus' resurrection, Thomas also wants a personal experience. His post resurrection challenge is "not to be unbelieving but believing."
Jesus invites Thomas to stretch out his hand to the wounds in his risen body, for in this opened body is
the way, the truth, and the life that Thomas was seeking (John 14:5-7). As Jesus and his disciple stand before each other in the midst of the community, it is Thomas' faith, not his hands, that dig deeply into the
mystery of his risen Lord, and he cries out the most profound and personal proclamation of gospel faith:
"My Lord and my God!"
In return, Jesus blesses Thomas, but then speaks the greatest of all beatitudes that will resound beyond
that Jerusalem room, into our assembly today, and to the end of the ages: "Blessed are those who have not
seen and yet have come to believe" (John 20:29).
Today, Jesus not only ministers in the sanctuary of heaven, but in the midst of his church here on
earth. In him is our supreme confidence because, risen from the dead, he now holds the keys that give him
the authority to unlock the prison of death for all who believe in him. This is our Easter faith; this is the
everlasting love of God dwelling among us, moving in the Church; and for this we give thanks with the
responsorial Psalm 118: “O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever.”

St. Mary Cleophas
Birthplace: Unknown
Feast Day: April 9
Witness at Calvary
Mary Cleophas lived during the time of Jesus and
was the mother of two of His Apostles, James the
Lesser and Jude. Although little else is known
about her life, three of the four Gospels identify
Mary as one of the few who witnessed the most
extraordinary miracle of Christianity--Jesus' Resurrection.
Known simply as the "other Mary," she stood
courageously at the cross with Jesus' mother and
Mary Magdalene on the day Jesus drew his last
breath. Their hearts broke as they watched Joseph
of Arimathea gently remove His body from the
cross, wrap Him in burial cloths and lay Him in a
tomb carved out of rock. When the stone was
rolled in front to seal the entrance, Mary Cleophas
and Mary Magdalene did not leave, but stayed to
watch over His tomb.
The First Witnesses
At daybreak following the Sabbath, Mary
Cleophas, Mary Magdalene and another woman
returned to the tomb to anoint Jesus' body with
spices, according to custom. But when they arrived, they were astounded to find the cumbersome stone had already been rolled away. Instead
of Jesus' body inside the tomb, they found an angel, who told them Jesus had risen from the dead,
as he had promised.
Frightened, the women fled and told Apostles
what they had seen. No one believed them at first,
until Peter visited the tomb and found Jesus' burial
cloths. In time, Jesus appeared to the Apostles,
but it was Mary Cleophas and the other women
who had first witnessed his Resurrection.
Henninger: Francis, Man of the World
Unlike others, a pope cannot withdraw from the world's troubles.
By DANIEL HENNINGER
Why does the pope fascinate the world? The white
vestments and the splendor of events in St. Peter's Basilica reflect abiding tradition but remain pomp. Pomp
alone, like a royal wedding, lasts as long as Cinderella's coach. The pope's claim on the world's attention
is deeper.
The world today has 1.2 billion Catholics,
nearly 20% of the globe's population. From the time
of Peter, who was elevated
to the papacy at the first
conclave (Jesus had the
only vote), the pope's portfolio has been more than
guiding the spiritual life of
his church. He is also the
protector of his flock. In the
homily for his inaugural
Mass Tuesday, Pope Francis said repeatedly he is "to
be the custos, the protecZina Saunders
tor."
As protector the
pope must be a man of the world. Even as the American politician Sen. Rand Paul exhorts his country to
withdraw from the world's troubles, no such luxury
has ever existed for a pope. Or for any great institution that hopes to keep the world's respect.
In 202 A.D., after years of calm, Pope Zephyrinus found himself faced in Rome with an edict from
Emperor Septimus Severus, making conversion to
Christianity punishable by death. Thousands of years
forward in the advance of civilization, high on Pope
Francis' to-do list is protecting Christians in the Middle East and Africa from being beaten or bombed by
radical Islamicists.
A pope cannot choose with whom he wishes
to do business. "Tragically in every period of history," Francis said in his homily, "there are 'Herods'
who plot death, wreak havoc, and mar the countenance of men and women."
China has perhaps eight to 12 million Catholics, though the government's active suppression
makes a census difficult. The Chinese put out a statement last week that congratulated Francis then demanded he break diplomatic relations with Taiwan
and stop meddling in China "in the name of religion."
In other words, self-deport his institutional authority.
It won't happen.
I'm happy to have a pope named after Francis
of Assisi. Still, let no one doubt that the first pope
from the Society of Jesus is acutely aware of how Jesuit superstar Francis Xavier in the 16th century carried Catholicism to India, Japan and China. Four centuries later, a Wikipedia historian of this effort cuts to
the chase in the entry's first sentence: "The history of
the missions of the Jesuits in
China is part of the history of relations between China and the Western world."
The practice of religion—
sometimes called the freedom of
religion—is unavoidably an issue
of public policy. Governments either allow it or suppress it. Catholics advocating for it in 16th century England, such as the Jesuit
Edmund Campion, were drawn
and quartered. That's behind us in
free-as-a-bird Western Europe,
where the pope's challenge is saving the life of the
soul. But in Iraq, Nigeria or China, where Christian
spirituality is strong, the challenge is life or death.
The Archbishop of Canterbury said two years ago that
for Christian minorities who have lived beside Muslims in Iraq back to the time of Christ, life "is becoming unsustainable" as they are driven out by fundamentalists. China, too, centuries ago allowed an array
of believers.
The pope has a political base. Don't be misled
by stories that overstate Catholicism's internal fractures over what's permissible along the spectrum of
sexual behavior. Across the globe, the papacy draws
on a 2,000-year-old reservoir of institutional loyalty.
The challenge for any pope in our times is to choose
where and how to deploy such power. The success of
those deployments, however, will depend crucially on
whether this pope can get the men working alongside
him to share his goals.
John Paul II's biographer, George Weigel, describes in detail how Karol Wojtyla, on becoming
pope in 1978, pushed the Vatican's never-makewaves bureaucracy to mount a direct challenge to Soviet communism's claims of moral authority. He won.
The German-born Benedict was a shimmering
intellect who clarified the internal contradictions of
modern Islam in his Regensburg lecture (read the
text, not the spin) and who in 2010 in Birmingham
thanked England for winning the Battle of Britain.
But he was a less-direct personality than John Paul
and failed to lead or reshape the Vatican's foreignpolicy bureaucracy.
That bureaucracy allowed a shocking blow to
the papacy's stature when Benedict on his visit to
Cuba last year failed to meet the Ladies in White,
dissidents who march each Sunday after Mass in Havana for their imprisoned husbands. Cardinal Bergoglio in Buenos Aires surely noticed. That embarrassment alongside the Curia's collapse in handling
priestly abuses is reason enough for Francis to begin
by accepting some key resignations in the Curia.
The new pope, famously humble, radiates human warmth. Note well, however, that what Karol
Wojtyla and Jorge Bergoglio held in common before
the papacy was experience with hostile governments.
Give Francis space to get his bearings. The world in
time will discover an astute political participant.

New York City, 10021
Celebrant: Fr. John Chrysostom Kozlowski, O.P.
Date: Friday, April 12, 2013
Time: 5:30 PM
Blessed Margaret (1287-1320) was born a hunchback, midget, blind, and lame. When
she was 6 her proud parents, of noble lineage, walled her up beside their chapel. When
she was 14, they took her to shrine in hopes of a cure, and when no miracle occurred,
they abandoned her. She became a Lay Dominican and spent the rest of her life in works
of mercy and in prayer. She died at the age of 33. A crippled child was miraculously
healed at her funeral.
Prayer for Her Canonization
(With Ecclesiastical Approval.)
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, glorify Thy servant Blessed Margaret, by granting the favor we so ardently desire. This we ask
in humble submission to God’s Will. For his honor and glory and the salvation of souls. Amen.
“The generous will be blessed, for they share their
food with the poor.” —Proverbs 22:9

For freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus.
We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty,
the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good.
Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties;
By your grace may we have the courage
to defend them, for ourselves and for
all those who live in this blessed land.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness,
and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
with whom you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Session 2: July 1 — August 6
Lincoln Center Campus
Just two years ago, on May 1, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI assisted the Church in recognizing the spiritual depth of his predecessor by beatifying
him. It was, indeed, fitting that Pope John Paul II be declared a Blessed of the
Church on Divine Mercy Sunday. For it was through his prayerful efforts that a
young Polish sister, Mary Faustina Kowalska would become known
and the devotion based on her visions would become accepted. The future Saint
Faustina born in the beginning of the twentieth century and who would pass into
eternity on the eve of the destructive invasion of her beloved country did not have an
easy existence nor did the devotion she inspired have universal acceptance. After
turning 19 she had her first vision of the Lord in which He instructed her to become a religious. Though her
parents had twice refused to give their permission she went to Warsaw to seek entrance into the convent. After being turned away on at least two occasions she found a home with the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. After her profession, which her parents attended, she went to various assignments called upon to do what the
world might called menial work. Less than two years later she began to be beset by illness. The Lord appeared to her first in Plock and then in Vilnius asking her to commission a painting of His image under
which would be the simple and yet profound words: “Jesus, I trust in You.” He further prepared her to deliver His words of divine mercy. In her diary she prepared the devotion that would become known as the
Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Unfortunately, she predicted the war she would not live to see. Her countrymen,
however, benefitted greatly from the consolation they received from the image of Jesus and His words.
While the Vatican suppressed the devotion for a time Archbishop, then Cardinal, and finally Pope Karol Wojtyla, John Paul II, worked for its restoration and appreciation. It was he who canonized the humble but fearless servant of the Merciful Lord.
Throughout the history of the Church, Christ, Mary, and the saints have appeared to men, women, and children to bring messages of challenge and consolation. Each have been appropriate for their time. In our twentieth century when war
seemed a constant solution to problems, when suspicion of one’s own family,
friends and leaders abounded, and yes, even when the Church was put at a distance
by her own members in an attitude of disinterest and at times, hatred the simple adage given to us: “Jesus, I trust in You,” became a necessary antidote. In these first
decades of the twenty-first century it is equally appropriate. Our society lacks trust
and perhaps that is a correct experience bearing in mind the sometimes disappointing dishonesty of political leaders, the unfaithfulness of family members, especially spouses, and the immorality of members of the Church who abused their positions and the people they should have served. We must
recognize that the Lord has never failed us though we have failed Him. And He is especially to be trusted
when we seek from Him His mercy. He has shown us the lengths to which he would go to save us from our
sins: He accepted the rejection, the nails, and the lance that we might live forever. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has reminded us that Jesus never tires of
forgiving us, we must never tire in trusting Him. He walks with us as he did
with Adam; He forgives us as he did the woman caught in adultery; and He
challenges us as He did the Apostle, “Feed My sheep.” Let us trust as did Saint
Faustina and the Fearless Pope who canonized her.
COME TO THE CHURCH THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 7 AT 2:30 PM

WHAT IS CATHOLIC UNDERGROUND?
Catholic Underground ©, a.k.a. CU, is a cultural
apostolate of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
- www.franciscanfriars.com.
It is a direct response to a call that began
with Pope John Paul II, and continued with Pope
Benedict XVI. JPII said that because the Gospel
lives in conversation with culture, we must be
fearless in crossing the cultural threshold of the
communication and information revolution now
taking place.
The first part of the evening is Eucharistic
adoration, and begins with Vespers (Evening
Prayer). This is the universal prayer of the
Church - prayed by Catholics throughout the
world in every time zone and in every language.
After Vespers, there is a time of simple praise.
This provides a window for each person to personally
encounter Jesus Christ. The beauty of the
darkened Church illumined by candles helps us
enter the mystery of our Lord's presence in the
Eucharist. The holy hour ends with solemn
Benediction.
The second part showcases Catholic artists.
Here we experience the “new evangelization”.
The Underground includes music, poetry,
visual art, dancers, film, drama, etc. We end our
evening as we began. With the prayer of the
Church. Compline (Night Prayer) is simple and
beautiful. It concludes with a hymn to Our Lady,
Daughter Zion. Mother of the New Jerusalem.
