CHRISTOPHER HALLADA 2ND SUNDAY OF EASTER—SUNDAY OF DIVINE MERCY APRIL 8, 2018 ACTS 4:32-35 1 JN 5:1-6 JN 20:19-31 PARISH MISSION STATEMENT Our Lady of the Annunciation Roman Catholic Parish is a people of living faith rooted in the Gospel, centered on the Eucharist and led by the Holy Spirit. We are inspired by the example of Mary to continue the mission of Jesus Christ by ministering to all. Annunciation Parish Website: www.annunciationparishabq.org From the Pastor EASTER SUNDAY Christ is Risen as He said, alleluia, alleluia! Today, the greatest Christian feast of the year, we give God thanks for the victory of Jesus over sin and death itself. Despite all the nay sayers and the anti-God activists, we know that the early Christian witnesses did not give their lives for a fable or a fabrication. No, they held on to their witness of the resurrection of Jesus Christ even unto their own deaths. Let us too be witnesses to the grace and power of Jesus’ resurrection in our own day as Jesus triumphs over sin and death in our own lives. St. Paul reminds us in Col. 3:2 to “let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on the earth.” May you and yours experience the joy of the Risen Lord throughout this blessed season of Easter. DIVINE MERCY Remember that we continue the Novena to the Divine Mercy this Easter Week, leading up to the Feast of Divine Mercy next Sunday. Please continue to pray the novena prayers and the chaplet of Divine Mercy through the week and then join us for the Holy Hour from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the afternoon of Divine Mercy Sunday, April 8 th . Please join us for this time of thanksgiving and petition to Our Lord for the mercy God desires to bestow upon the world. O Jesus, whose blood and water gushed forth from your heart as a fountain of mercy for us, we trust in You!

PRAYER TO THE GLORIFIED LORD Jesus, who did confound all your enemies by clothing in glory and splendor that body which had been the victim of the cruelty of man, give me grace to die to myself that I may rise again with You, and after your likeness lead a new, divine, immortal life: new by change of conduct, divine by the generosity and purity of my love, immortal by perseverance in well doing. Work in my heart, O Lord, this happy change; make me pass from death to life, from darkness to light, from a life full of imperfections to a life worthy of You. Make me go from light to light, from virtue to virtue, till I come at last to You, O God of virtue, source of all life and all light. To you also I turn, O holy Virgin, Mother of our Savior, deign to make me a partaker of the divine joy which you did feel on the blessed day of his resurrection. Dry my tears and free my heart from all oppressive sadness. Let your Risen Son enter into my heart, as through the closed doors into the upper chamber. Let him say to me, as to the Apostles: “Peace be to you”; let Him show to me, as to Thomas, his sacred wounds; let Him abide with me continually and never more depart from me. Amen.
