McKinley Ave. Dios eterno, en quien la misericordia es infinita y el tesoro de la compasión es inagotable, cuídanos con bondad y aumenta tu misericordia en nosotros, para que en momentos difíciles no nos desesperemos ni nos sintamos abatidos, sino que nos sometamos con gran confianza a tu santa voluntad, que es el amor y la misericordia misma.

Sunday of Divine Mercy ♦ April / Abril 28, 2019 ♦ Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
On May 5, 2000, five days after the canonization of St. Faustina, the Vatican decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.
Few things so much approximate the essence of God as does mercy. Mercy is God’s essence. Deepest inside of every religion is the invitation: Be compassionate, merciful, as God is compassionate. There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who converts than over ninety-nine righteous persons. Does God love sinners more than the righteous? There are no righteous persons. It’s rather that we feel God’s love more when we admit that we’re sinners.
We only receive and appropriate God’s mercy and the mercy of others when we extend that same mercy to others. Mercy has to flow through us. If we don’t extend it to others, we become self-indulgent and too harsh on others.
Receiving and giving mercy is the only thing that frees us from our congenital propensity to self-seek, self-justify, and judge others. Nothing frees us more from the tyranny of ego than does the practice of mercy. It is not enough for us to be merciful in our own lives. Mercy is marginalized in a society that doesn’t sufficiently attend to those who are weak or needy, just as it is marginalized in a church that is judgmental. We must create a society that is merciful and a church that is merciful. Mercy, alone, enables the survival of the weakest. The only thing at which we are adequate is being inadequate. We are forever falling short at something, no matter the strength of our sincerity, good intention, and willpower. Only mercy, receiving it and giving it, can lead us out of the choppy waters of our own anxieties, worry, and joylessness. Only in knowing mercy do we know gratitude.

Holy Mary, pray for us! ¡Santa María, ruega por nosotros!
Please keep in your prayers those serving in the military:
Max Carrillo, Lt. Col. Jon B. Casillas, Captain Ryan Cloud, Paul DeAndes, Sgt. Kenneth C Dertz III, Joel Diaz, James Gutierrez, Martin & Michael Ledesma, Andres Meza, Brian Ramirez, Carissa Ramirez, Major Dan Winnie.
May the strength of God guide them this day, and may his power preserve them. May the wisdom of God instruct them; the eye of God to watch over them; the ear of God hear them; the word of God give sweetness to their speech; the hand of God defend them; and may they follow the way of God.
"¿Donde si no en el Divina Misericordia,
puede el mundo encontrar refugio
y la luz de la esperanza?"

God of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, we cry out to you
for wisdom and compassion. You led the early Jews out of
slavery, to freedom. You led the disciples
of Jesus after the crucifixion
to courageously preach the Gospel.
Today, we seek your wisdom
to preach the Good News in our country.
Grant wisdom and faith to our elected leaders, the people we choose to lead our country,
to make choices that are based
upon your teaching. Amen.
Dios de Abraham, Isaac, Moisés, te pedimos
sabiduría y compasión. Llevaste a los primeros Judíos de la esclavitud, a la libertad.
Dirigiste a los discípulos de Jesús
después de la crucifixión a predicar con valentía
el Evangelio.
Hoy, buscamos tu sabiduría para predicar la Buena Nueva
en nuestro país. Otorgue sabiduría y fe
a nuestros líderes electos, las personas que elegimos para dirigir nuestro país,
para tomar decisiones basadas en su enseñanza.
Amén.

In Appreciation
Many thanks to Mr. Don Schupek, Tim and Cheryl Dutkiewicz, and Mr. Greg Dandurand who artfully, beautifully prepared
the sanctuary for our Holy Week and Easter services.
Thank you, also, to Mr. Leobardo Frausto and the multitude of
actors, actresses, and technicians who devoted many hours
to perfecting this year’s Via Crucis presentation.
We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of Clara Wais and Ray Krygowski.
Clara was the wife of the late John Wais. Ray was the older brother of current parishioners Arthur and Vic Krygowski. Clara and Ray were long time members and active supporters of St. Stanislaus Parish until recent years.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. May their families be consoled by the promise of eternal life.
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER - THURSDAY, MAY 2
In 1775 the Continental Congress allocated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of prayer, including from President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the National Day of Prayer.
