Second Sunday of Easter
(or of Divine Mercy)
April 12, 2015
Who indeed is the victor over the world
but the one who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God?
— 1 John 5:5
MY LORD AND MY GOD”
Today is the second Sunday of Easter which is also known as
the Divine Mercy Sunday. Our Risen Lord is a compassionate and
merciful One! In Matthew 9:13 Jesus says, “He desires mercy, not
sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners”. “For the
sake of your sorrowful passion, Lord Jesus, have mercy on us and
on the whole world!”
Today’s gospel presents us with the story of the “doubting
Thomas”; he refused to believe the testimony of the Apostles regarding the Resurrection of the Lord. Thomas was absent when Jesus
first appeared to his disciples after His Resurrection. They reported
to him, that they “had seen the Lord”; but he refused to believe them.
He demands first-hand experience; “unless I see Jesus with my own
eyes and touch his wounds with my own hands, I will not believe.”
But when Jesus came for the second time; He shows him his hands
and side, only then did he believe and declared his famous and
memorable confession of faith: “MY LORD AND MY GOD”. My
brothers and sisters, today’s story invites us to believe and rely on
the testimony of other disciples who have seen the Lord. Amen!!
Blessings!

“GRANMÈT MWEN AK BONDYE MWEN”
Jodi-a se 2èm Dimanch Pak ki an menm tan tou se Dimanch
Divine Misericorde oubyen DIMANCH KE SANSIB. Jezu Granmèt
la ki leve byen vivan anba lanmò-a se yon Bondye kè sansib. Nan
levanjil Matye 9:13 Jezu deklare: Ale non, chache konprann sans
pawòl sa yo ki nan Liv la: Mwen vle pou nou gen kè sansib. Mwen
pa bezwen bèt n'ap ofri pou touye pou mwen yo. Paske, mwen pa
vin rele moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, men moun k'ap fè
sa ki mal yo. Mèsi Granmèt pou konpasyon-Ou ak Kè sansib Ou!
Nan levanjil jodi-a nap li istwa Toma-a ki te refize kwè lòt
disip yo le yo di-l kè yo te wè Granmèt la apre Li te fi-n leve vivan
anba lanmò. Toma te di yo si li pa wè ak 2 je-l epi mete men li nan
mak klou yo pa gen jou lap kwè nan sa mesye yo tap di-a. Selon
Toma fòk li wè konsa la kwè. Yon semèn apre Jezu te vi-n parèt
nan mitan patizan-l yo e fwa sa-a Toma te la; Jezu envite-l pou-l vin mete dwèt li nan mak klou yo. Lè sa Toma mete ajenou e li te
deklare byen fò: “GRANMÈT MWEN AK BONDYE MWEN”. Frè
ak sè mwen yo, istwa Toma a ap envite-n pou-n pa fè menm jan ak
Toma men pou nou kwè temwayaj lot patizan ki te wè Granmèt.
Amèn!!
Benediksyon!

Philanthropists William B. Finneran, Frankie Stevens, Barbara Messier and
Richard Schmeelk along with the Sacred Heart School children recreate their
S.O.S pose from 5 years ago when the school almost closed.
Lake Worth, Florida - March 13, 2015: The children of Sacred Heart School
along with phyloanthropist William B. Finneran, Richard Schmeelk, Frankie Stevens, Father Quesnel Delvard, Barbara Messeir and Principal Candace Tamposi
line up to form the shape of S.O.S. for an aerial photograph. Five years ago, Sacred Heart School faced some rough times and was on the verge of closing its
doors. One of their children suggested that the school send out an SOS to the
community to help us raise the money to stay open. Philanthropists such as Cathleen McFarlane Ross (deceased 2010), William B. Finneran, Frankie Stevens, the
honorable Judge Rodney Eielson, Barbara Messier and Richard Schmeelk heard
the call on the news and came to the rescue. Mr. Schmeelk a retired Navy man
himself understood the SOS call. He came to visit the school and told them that
they would not close. He then gathered a few of his friends from Palm Beach and
formed the school’s Executive Board. Together, the School and the SHS Executive Board put on several fundraisers which helped save the school. (See YouTube: Sacred Heart S.O.S. Music Video - Save Our School! or Students send
'SOS' To Keep School Open).
“Today SHS is stronger and we want to thank the community for helping us thrive by recreating the pose that started it all. Oh, by the
way! The student that suggested we send out an SOS call is now in 8th
grade! (See YouTube: Sacred Heart School stronger video (written by
the Principal's daughter and SHS Alumni, Ali Tamposi). We want the
community to know that we have full enrollment, the William B. Finneran Montessori Academy for early learning, a fully operational
S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Lab and a
sports program which includes Basketball, Soccer, Baseball and Softball. As a matter of fact our Boys Varsity Soccer team and Girls Varsity Basketball team won trophies this school year. Could you imagine
what these children could do if they had a Gym they could practice
in? You see the children at Sacred Heart School haven't (in 70
years) experienced a home game. Can you imagine that? We hope to
change all of this by building the SHS Gymnatorium! HOME OF THE
PANTHERS!”

The school is working hard to meet their fundraising goal for the Gymnatorium
project. If you would like to make a contribution please contact Sacred Heart
School’s Principal Candace Tamposi at 561-582-2242
