4th Sunday of Lent
“For God so loved the world t hat he gave his only Son…”
- John 3:16
Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we
ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we are grateful and generous with our God-given gifts. That we nurture and develop our gifts, and in
gratitude, generously give back with increase, our time in
prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support the mission and
ministry of our parish and greater Church.

Divine Mercy Parish would like to thank our families who are currently giving electronically. You may not see these fellow parishioners place an envelope in the basket every week, but their consistent giving does not go unnoticed. Each
month our parish receives a steady and predict-able stream of income from
those donors who have made the commitment to give to God
first by having a designated contribution
automatically transferred to our parish through our Online
Giving Program. If you would like to learn more about this easy, safe, and secure way of giving,
please check out our website: www.divinemercyparish.org/online-giving
Today, we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Lent. In John 3:14-21, we are presented with a conversation between
Jesus and Nicodemus: about the Son of God. Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life,” (JN 3:14). A
LIFETEEN author brings our attention to the “Parallel Jesus makes between the bronze serpent in the desert and His own crucifixion.” The LIFETEEN author explains that in that time,
“People were punished for rejecting God with poisonous serpents.” At LIFETEEN and Edge we discuss what the
LIFETEEN author further says about how, “Those who were bitten would be healed by gazing upon it (the staff).” Please
join us as we discuss our Catholic beliefs and how the LIFETEEN author concludes that, “Jesus was raised on the
cross, and so gave us the opportunity to be healed from the poison of sin.” Come experience healing power of Christ!

A STATEMENT FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS REGARDING THE JANSSEN (JOHNSON & JOHNSON COVID-19 Vaccine) February 26, 2021 There has been much discussion of late over the COVID-19 vaccines becoming available to the public as a means of bringing the pandemic under control. For Catholics in particular there has been much discussion and debate about moral and ethical questions around the development of the vaccines in regards to their use of morally compromised cell lines created from two abortions that occurred, one in the 1970s and one in the 1980s. The Archdiocese of New Orleans, in light of guidance from the Vatican, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and The National Catholic Bioethics Center affirm that though there was some lab testing that utilized the abortion-derived cell line, the two vaccines currently available from Pfizer and Moderna do not rely on cell lines from abortions in the manufacturing process and therefore can be morally acceptable for Catholics as the connection to abortion is extremely remote. It is under the same guidance that the archdiocese must in-struct Catholics that the latest vaccine from Janssen/Johnson & Johnson is morally compromised as it uses the abortion-derived cell line in development and production of the vaccine as well as the testing. We maintain that the decision to receive the COVID-19 vaccine remains one of individual conscience in consultation with one’s healthcare provider. We also maintain that in no way does the Church’s position diminish the wrongdoing of those who decided to use cell lines from abortions to make vaccines. In doing so, we advise that if the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine is available, Catholics should choose to receive either of those vaccines rather than to receive the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine because of its extensive use of abortion-derived cell lines.

Wednesday, March 17th ~ 5:00 - 6:30 PM
During the Holy Season of Lent, Archbishop Aymond is asking all churches in the Archdiocese of New Orleans to have a light on in the
confessional on Wednesday, March 17th from 5:00pm - 6:30pm as a sign that Christ is not only the light of the world but one who is eager to forgive and
to heal us. If you have been away from the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we invite you to come back to God’s loving mercy and forgiveness.
The Second Collection for Catholic Relief Services (CRS) will be held this weekend March 13-14. CRS is the official overseas aid agency of the U.S. Catholic Bishops. CRS serves in 114 countries addressing hunger and migration issues,
helping local communities create sustainable nutrition and economic plans to help prevent them from migrating. CRS brings relief to climate impacted areas such as the Philippines and Central America, who have been hit by severe tropical weather this fall. CRS also works in some of the most war-torn areas such as Syria, Afghanistan, and the Tigray Region of Ethiopia to help build peace and prevent terrorism through humane interventions Your donation helps CRS remain flexible and vigilant
in responding to emerging needs, such as the locust invasions of East Africa. Thank you for your support!

el miércoles 17 de marzo ~ 5:00 pm a 6:30 pm Durante la Temporada Santa de Cuaresma, el Arzobispo
Aymond está pidiendo a todas las iglesias de la Arquidiócesis de Nueva Orleans que tengan una luz
encendida en el confesionario el miércoles 10 de marzo; miércoles 17 de marzo; y el miércoles 24 de marzo
de 5:00 pm a 6:30 pm como una señal de que Cristo no es
solamente la luz del mundo, sino alguien que está ansioso por perdonarnos y curarnos. Si has estado alejado del
Sacramento de la Reconciliación, los invitamos a regresar a la misericordia y el perdón amoroso de Dios.
Explicación mensual de la misa
El Acto Penitencial y El Gloria
† Al comienzo de cada Misa, nos tomamos un tiempo para prepararnos a través del Acto Penitencial para entrar en la sagrada liturgia y encontrarnos con Cristo. Le pedimos a Dios que nos ayude a que al reconocer nuestros pecados podamos prepararnos para escuchar su Palabra y compartir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Reconocemos nuestra necesidad de la ayuda de Dios, nuestra necesidad de ser salvados, y por eso le pedimos su misericordia: “Señor, ten piedad. Cristo, ten piedad. Señor ten piedad."
† Inmediatamente después de esto (los domingos
fuera de Adviento y Cuaresma y en solemnidades, fiestas y otras celebraciones solemnes) nos unimos a los ángeles y a los santos en el cielo y cantamos El Gloria - el mismo himno cantado por los ángeles a los pastores que anuncia el nacimiento de Jesús (Navidad). ¡La encarnación es la respuesta de Dios a nuestra pecaminosidad! Durante la Cuaresma y el Adviento, no cantamos El Gloria debido a la naturaleza penitencial de las estaciones y al énfasis en la expectativa.
† En estos momentos aparentemente rutinarios de la Misa con los que podemos familiarizarnos demasiado, el Señor nos invita a llevar nuestras men-tes y nuestros corazones al profundo misterio de nuestra fe: Dios nos ama tanto que envió a su Hijo. Jesús no ha venido a condenar al mundo, sino a sal-varlo.

Fr. Cooper’s Corner
Going Up the Mountain
As the pilgrim people of God, it is interes ng to ponder the fact that we are all called to ascend a “holy mountain.” In coming to Mass, we are all called to climb the “holy mountain” to encounter our God. And we are called in Sacred Scripture to go higher as we progress in our spiritual life. But when I see how fierce the wind blows at this stage in my spiritual journey, I am reminded that this is about as far up as I want to go! But, my brothers and sisters, we must go higher, for at the mountaintop is where we will meet our Father, learn of His constant help, and be given the hope and strength that will sustain us in the valleys below. So, as one of my favorite saints, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassa , used to say, “Verso l’alto!” To the top!
The first mountain we ascend together is Mount Moriah. Here we behold a scandalous episode indeed! How could God ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son? This does not seem like the God we know, the God who has said that burnt offerings from us He would refuse. Our sacrifice, He has told us, must be a contrite spirit for a humbled and contrite heart He will not spurn. And besides, Abraham’s son Isaac is the key to the covenant that God made with Abraham. God promised Abraham that he and his wife Sarah, despite their old age, would become fer le and would bear a son, Isaac. And it was through Isaac that Abraham would be the father of many na ons, of peoples as numerous as the stars. These are the people of Israel, God’s chosen people, a people set apart to be an example to all mankind that God alone is our God and we are His children. From the people of Israel, our elder brothers and sisters, we have inherited this covenant and Abraham is our father in faith. For Abraham to sacrifice his only son, his beloved son, would dissolve all of this.
Abraham was aware of what was at stake but his faith in the Lord was rock-solid. He trusted that God would find a way to keep His promise. Abraham’s only concern was fidelity to God’s command: to sacrifice Isaac, his only son, his beloved son. He will pass this test of faith. So, Abraham ascends the mountain with his only son, carrying the wood and knife for the sacrifice, and builds an altar on which to accomplish it. He then places his son on the wood and as he takes the knife to slaughter him an angel of the Lord stays Abraham’s hand. He assures Abraham that his inten on, his devo on, his obedience, his willingness to do even this is as good as if he had done it. Then the Lord provides a ram, caught by its horns in the thicket, to take Isaac’s place.
But what is the Holy Spirit trying to teach us by pu ng before us such a chilling account? I believe it is this: that even in the midst of unthinkable sacrifice, when our circumstances in life make demands on us that seem unbearable, God is always by our side, watching and wai ng to help us and to bless us abundantly. But, we must be obedient to Him, trust Him, and have unwavering faith in Him. Unlike Abraham, we may not be called to make heroic acts of faith in God. But, like Abraham, it is not what we accomplish that ma ers. God judges not the results of our works but the inten on of our hearts. In our hearts He sees our devo on. When we suffer injury and illness with a heart of pa ence and humility, He is there. When we spend long, agonizing hours at the bedside of a dying loved one with a heart of commitment and love, He is there. When we say farewell to our sons and daughters going off to war with hearts of trust and generosity, He is there. Finally, when we strive during Lent to uproot our vices and sins so that our hearts are open and free, He will bless us abundantly and give us not descendants but graces as numerous as the stars.
But, our faith tells us that our lesson on Mount Moriah is not the end of the story. Sacred Scripture points us to the second mountain we must climb: Mount Calvary. Abraham’s witness prepares us for the ascent, for here God the Father Himself, as St. Paul tells us, “did not spare his own Son, but handed him over for us all.” Here too we behold

Page 9
an Only Son, a Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, ascending a mountain of sacrifice to God, submi ng to His Father’s will, carrying the wood along the Way. He too was placed on the wood, but for Him the nails and the knife of the soldier’s lance were not held back. For Him there was no ram caught in a thicket. He himself was the ram, suspended from the thicket of the cross, to take the place not of one, but of all mankind.
Faced with this parallel, St. Paul asks us, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” He who did not spare His own Son but handed Him over for us all, how will He not also give us everything else along with Him? From His Sacrifice Jesus was raised and now sits at the right hand of God, interceding for us. Even on Mount Calvary we are again assured of God’s constant love and help. We must never doubt the lengths that God has gone and will go to help and save us. No scene in our lives – not even divorce, separa on, abuse, violence, sin, or death – is darker than the scene the only beloved Son of the Father has already entered and overcome.
At this point, let us step back a moment. We are in the season of Lent and have encountered Mount Moriah and Mount Calvary, the scenes of great sacrifice. Let us not think that the fruits of these encounters: hope, consola on, and divine assistance are only things that we squeeze out of suffering like blood from a turnip! God’s blessings do not require that we perform mental gymnas cs or fool ourselves in order to find them in the midst of suffering. They are as real as the suffering is if we want them to be. But because they come from God, they have the upper-hand and transform our suffering from destruc ve force to purifying fire that prepares us for the glory that God intends for us.
This lesson we learn as we ascend our third and final mountain: Mount Tabor. Here we find Jesus with His three favorite apostles: Peter, James, and John. Six days before this episode, Jesus taught them that He must soon suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes; be killed; and a er three days rise again. Furthermore, “If any man would come a er me,” Jesus said, “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” This was unthinkable to Peter who took Jesus to be the Messiah the Jews expected, one who would triumphantly defeat all their foes so they would never have to suffer again. How could He, the Messiah, suffer and die?
Jesus rebuked him for thinking this way but out of His great love and generosity takes him along with James and John to Mount Tabor to strengthen them. James and John too must have been scandalized by Jesus’ predic on and distraught that Jesus rebuked Peter, their leader, so strongly. But, on the seventh day, He showed them and us that God never abandons us even in our deepest despair. He appeared transfigured before them, along with Elijah and Moses, and His garments were glistening and intensely white. He allowed His glory to shine forth, the glory that is righ ully His as the Divine Son of God, the glory He set aside in order to be like us. This He did in order to encourage His apostles and us to follow the difficult way that leads to our own glorifica on.
At the end of Mass, we are sent to “Go Forth.” We will descend the mountains of Moriah, Calvary, and Tabor and return to the valleys of our everyday lives, our schools, our homes, our workplaces. We will return to our Lenten penances and sacrifices, to our prayers, fas ng, and almsgiving, to our Sta ons of the Cross. We may even be returning to much suffering and pain. But let us not forget the mountains we have climbed and what we witnessed at the top of each one. Let us return with renewed hope and strength, reminded of God’s constant help and presence. The God who stayed Abraham’s hand and provided for him on Mount Moriah is the same God who provides for us. The God who loved us so much that He allowed His only Son to die on Mount Calvary on behalf of all mankind, is the same God who loves us today. The God who strengthened the apostles by allowing them to behold the glory of His Divine Son is the same God who strengthens us. Let us be faithful and obedient to Him with the hope that “the sufferings of this present me are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Rom 8:18) at our coming Easter.
Jesus, I t rust in You!

Monthly Explanation of the Mass
The Penitential Act and the Gloria
† At the beginning of each Mass, we take time to prepare ourselves through the Penitential Act to enter into the sacred liturgy and encounter Christ. We ask God to help us that by acknowledging our sins we may prepare ourselves to listen to his Word and share in the Body and Blood of Christ. We recognize our need for God’s help – our need to be saved – so we ask his mercy upon us: “Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.”
† Immediately following this (on Sundays outside of Advent and Lent and on solemnities, feasts, and at other solemn celebrations) we join the angels and saints in heaven and sing the Gloria – the same hymn sung by the angels to the shepherds heralding the birth of Jesus (Christmas). The incarnation is God’s response to our sinfulness! During Lent and Advent, we do not sing the Gloria due to the penitential nature of the seasons and the emphasis on expectancy.
† In these seemingly routine moments of the Mass that we can become all too familiar with, the Lord invites us to bring our minds and hearts into the deep mystery of our faith – God so loves us that he sent his Son. Jesus has come not to condemn the world, but to save the world.

Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

Acuérdate, oh piadosísima Virgen María!, que jamás se ha oído decir que ninguno de los que han acudido a tu protección, implorando tu auxilio, haya sido desamparado. Animado por esta confianza, a Ti acudo, Madre, Virgen de la vírgenes, y gimiendo bajo el peso de mis pecados me atrevo a comparecer ante Ti. Madre de Dios, no deseches mis súplicas, antes bien, escúchalas y acógelas benignamente. Amen.
Oración a San Miguel Arcángel
O San Miguel, Arcángel defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestra protección contra el mal y las trampas del diablo; humildemente te rogamos que Dios los reprenda. O Principe Celestial de la Santa Hostia, que con la ayuda de Dios eches a satanás al infierno y a los espíritus que vagan por el mundo para arruinar las almas. Amén.

Dios amoroso y fiel, a través de los años el pueblo de nuestra arquidiócesis ha apreciado las oraciones y el amor de Nuestra Señora del Pronto Socorro en tiempos de guerras, desastres, epidemias y enfermedad. Venimos a Ti, Padre, con María nuestra Madre, y te pedimos nos ayudes en la batalla de hoy contra la violencia, el asesinato y el racismo. Te imploramos que nos des la sabiduría para construir una
comunidad fundada en los valores de Jesús, que conceden respeto a la vida y dignidad a todas las personas. Bendice a los padres para que formen a sus hijos en fe. Bendice y protege a nuestros jóvenes para que sean hacedores de paz en nuestro tiempos. Da consuelo a los que han perdido a seres queridos debido a la violencia. Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, Nuestro Señor. Amén.
Nuestra Señora del Pronto Socorro, apresúrate a socorrernos.
Madre Henrieta Delille, ruega por nosotros para que seamos una familia Santa.
