TODAY— As a gift to humanity, which sometimes seems bewildered
and overwhelmed by the power of evil, selfishness, and fear, the
Risen Lord offers His love that pardons, reconciles, and reopens
hearts to love. It is a love that converts hearts and gives peace.
How much the world needs to understand and accept Divine Mercy!

PASTOR’S DESK, Greetings, to all! And I hope everyone had a
great Easter celebration with families. Again, I would like to
thank our ministers of Liturgy the lectors, acolytes [altar person]
ushers, and musicians for great and wonderful liturgies as well as
our guilds for decorating the church. I went to the podiatrist and
found out I have a fallen arch; the doctor said that it happens
when one gets older. And once again I was right that the cause of
my injury is getting older. Anyway, he recommends an orthopedic
support to assist the arch of my right foot. However, before
getting the impression on my foot I need to get the swelling down.
That means, I have to elevate the foot and not to put pressure on
that left foot. Many years ago, a book called “The Big Fisherman,”
by Lloyd C. Douglas, made the best-seller lists. The book contains
a scene in which several of the Apostles are wondering aloud about
Jesus: “Why did He do this? Why did He do that?” at one point Peter
says, “Don’t forget, we couldn’t understand why He wanted to leave
Canaan and go to Capernaum.” “That was different,” Thomas mumbles,
“He felt He was urgently needed there.” “Maybe He feels that He is
now needed elsewhere,” Andrew observes. To which James adds, “I
don’t believe He cares very much whether we understand Him or not.”
“You are right, Jimmy, “Says Bartholomew, “He’s teaching us to have
faith I Him.” “But can’t a man have faith, and understanding too?”
Thomas argues. “No,” Says Bartholomew, “That’s what faith is for.
It’s for when we can’t understand.” “That’s true,” says, Peter.
“When a man understands, he doesn’t need any faith.” “I don’t like
to be kept in the dark,” complains Philip. To which Peter replies,
“If a man has enough faith, he can find his way in the dark -----
with faith as his lamp.” As He did with Thomas and Peter and the
others who would be His followers, Jesus invites us to perfect our
faith by touching His wounds which lay open on the persons of His
brothers and sisters. Despite the din and clamor of this present
age, with faith as our lamp, we may still hear the calm, confident,
reassuring, loving voice of the Lord inviting us into the Mystery
of Faith: “Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe”
[Jn.20:29} Jesus is with us now, reaching out to us with His hand,
as He did with Thomas. “Peace be with you,” He is saying. “Give Me

those who have not seen and yet believe.” With faith as our lamp,
the answer to His call is abundantly clear. “Yes, Lord. WE
BELIEVE!” Peace and Blessings! Fr. Luis Liturgical Music Corner by

Easter/ Divine Mercy Sunday This is the day the Lord has made; let
us be glad and rejoice in it! This week we celebrated the most
important event in human history, the rising of Jesus Christ from
the dead! By His rising, He defeated sin and death, so that death
has no victory over us. “Death, where is your victory? Death, where
is your sting?” We rejoice because this means we will also rise
with Him, and just as Jesus rose in His physical body, so we, too,
will receive our bodies back at the end of time. This is the
teaching of our church! Receive the joy of your glory, giving
thanks to God, who has called you into the heavenly kingdom,
