The 3rd day, on Easter Sunday will be prayed at 8:00 am, before the Morning Liturgy. From Monday until Saturday the Novena Prayers will be offered immediately following the 8:00 am Liturgy. Welcome to everyone. On the Feast Day of Mercy Sunday, April 12 a Holy Hour Adoration will begin at 1:30 p.m. with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament followed by the Rosary, Silent Prayer, reflections from the Diary of St. Faustina, a special tribute to St. Pope John Paul II, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, ending with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. I will present a relic of St. Faustina for personal veneration. WELCOME EVERYONE. Why do we have the Feast of Divine Mercy? According to the Diary of St. Faustina our Lord made 14 revelations requesting this feast day be established on the Sunday after Easter Sunday. On April 30, 2000, at the time of the Canonization of St. Faustina, Pope St. John Paul II established this feast day for all the universal Church to celebrate. We also remember that this great Pope in the Catholic Church went home to the Lord on the eve of this great Feast Day in 2005. Welcome to our Holy Hour celebration on Sunday, April 12 beginning at 1:30 pm. Special welcome to all our youth as well. ******************************************** About Fridays in Lent … - All Fridays are days of fast which means one main meal and no meat. Each Friday evening we pray the Way of the Cross and Benediction of the Cross. All the Parish is greatly encouraged to make a sacrifice and come for devotions including all our youth. Mar 27 Men’s Club – Thank you Think on this… By Sub-Deacon Alex I wanted to share with you a poem that I wrote when a friend of mine lost their young child. It is appropriate for Passion Week. How long? My steps crunch and creek At the spindles above me The trees look so bleak And the world is ugly The fall of the year My heart longs That one tree so pretty Fruit good to the eye Disobedient bite And now we all die The fall of man My heart longs Joy to our world A child is born Death's finger uncurled And from us he's torn The fall of a child My heart longs A sore loser is death You stubbornly sting With your last noxious breath Drawn from you by the king The fall of death My heart longs, longs for eternity. ******************************************** EWTN LIVE 04/01/15 BISHOP BARNABA YOUSIF HABASH Most Reverend Barnaba Yousif Habash Bishop of the Syrian Catholic Eparchy discusses the plight and persecution Christians are facing in Syria and in other nations in the Middle East.
