PRAYER REQUEST FOR OUR BELOVED SICK
United with our Holy Father Pope Francis, let us pray in solidarity for our brothers
and sisters here and around the world who are sick. Let us pray for those who have lost loved ones to this virus. May God console them and grant them peace.
We pray also for doctors, nurses, and caregivers, for public health officials and all civic leaders. May God grant them courage and prudence as they seek to respond to this emergency with compassion and in service to the common good. In this time
of need, I invite all the faithful to seek together the maternal intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I share this prayer with you:
Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of the Angels and Mother of the Americas. We fly to you today as your beloved children. We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana. Pray for us, loving Mother, and gain for our nation and world, and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness. For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance. Hear the cries of those who are vulnerable and fearful, wipe away their tears and help them to trust. In this time of trial and testing, teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind. Help us to bring the peace of Jesus to our land and to our hearts. We come to you with confidence, knowing that you truly are our compassionate mother, health of the sick and cause of our joy. Shelter us under the mantle of your protection, keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us always to know the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen

Dear Parish Family,
Christ is risen... He is risen indeed! Jesus at least twice in the resurrec on account brings peace to his disciples. Today in the gospel Jesus says to them, “Peace be with
you.” Such repe on is deliberate. The resurrec on of Jesus gives us, his followers peace. We are no longer subject to the buffe ng winds of drama, challenge, anxiety, and turbulence. We may rest assured in the peace of Jesus, knowing that there is life eternal. God is faithful! Violence, lawlessness, and anxiety will not last. Instead, peace, love friendship, and self-gi are eternal. The resur-rec on of Jesus and his las ng presence among his disciples are all the proof we need. Once we experience him for ourselves, there is no longer room for doubt.
The peace of Christ con nues to be poured into us in our own me as we go through this pandemic, me of isola on, and social distancing. Jesus’ resurrec on is a sign of hope in the midst of the darkness because he stands to li us up and draw us to greater trust. The Second Sunday of Easter is also Divine Mercy Sunday. Here is this fairly recent devo on requested by Our Lord and revealed to his “Apostle of Mercy” St. Faus na in the 1930s. St. Pope John Paul II in his pon ficate promoted the spread of this devo on by wri ng, streaking and prac cing the message of Divine Mercy.
What then is the meaning of Divine "Mercy"? God's very nature is love (Jn 4:8): infinite, eternal, self-giving love among the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. But "mercy" is the form that God's love takes when it overflows His divine life and pours out upon His creatures. This Divine Mercy is compassionate love - a love that seeks to meet the needs and relieve the miseries of others.
Recognizing our human weaknesses and sins, God is always ready to pour out His mercy upon us. We find this message echoing like a refrain throughout the Diary of St. Faus na when Jesus said to her:
“I am Love and Mercy itself (1074). My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners ... it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from my Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy (367). Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet (699). My mercy is greater than your sins, and those of the en re world (1485). I let my Sacred Heart be pierced with a lance, thus opening wide the source of mercy for you. Come then with trust to draw graces from this fountain (1485).”
FROM THE DESK OF FR. MARINELLO
Litany to The Divine Mercy:

Lamb of God, who mercifully offers Yourself for our sake in every holy Mass, graciously hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, who takes away our sins with inexhaustible compassion, have mercy on us.
V: The Mercy of God is above all His works.
R: Hence, we will praise The Divine Mercy forever and ever.

CONTINUATION... Let us pray:
Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaus ble, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, King of mercy, who with You and the Holy Spirit shows us mercy now and forever. Amen.
I invite you and your family to pray the Litany to the Divine Mercy for our world and our church as we con nue to seek ways to relieve the suffering and misery of all. May every heart echo “Jesus I Trust in You. “
In His Merciful Heart,
-Fr. Marinello Saguin
Querida Familia Parroquial,
Cristo ha resucitado... ¡Ha resucitado!
Jesús al menos dos veces en el relato de la resurrección trae paz a sus discípulos. Hoy en el Evangelio Jesús les dice: "La paz esté con ustedes." Tal repe ción es deliberada. La resurrección de Jesús nos da a nosotros, a sus seguidores la paz. Ya no estamos suje-tos a los vientos de drama, desa o, ansiedad y turbulencia. Podemos estar seguros en la paz de Jesús, sabiendo que hay vida eter-na. ¡Dios es fiel! La violencia, la anarquía y la ansiedad no durarán. En cambio, la paz, la amistad amorosa y el autodon son eternos. La resurrección de Jesús y su presencia duradera entre sus discípulos son todas las pruebas que necesitamos. Una vez que lo expe-rimentamos por nosotros mismos, ya no hay lugar para la duda.
La paz de Cristo sigue siendo derramada en nosotros en nuestro empo a medida que pasamos por esta pandemia, empo de ais-lamiento y distancia social. La resurrección de Jesús es un signo de esperanza en medio de las nieblas porque se levanta para ele-varnos y atraernos a una mayor confianza. El segundo domingo de Pascua es también el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia. Aquí está esta devoción bastante reciente solicitada por Nuestro Señor y revelada a su "Apóstol de la Misericordia" Santa Faus na en la década de 1930. San Juan Pablo II en su pon ficado promovió la difusión de esta devoción escribiendo, rayando y prac cando el mensaje de la Divina Misericordia.
Entonces, ¿cuál es el significado de la Divina "Misericordia"? La propia naturaleza de Dios es el amor (Jn 4, 8): amor infinito, eterno y entregador entre el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. Pero la "misericordia" es la forma que toma el amor de Dios cuando desbor-da Su vida divina y se derrama sobre Sus criaturas. Esta Divina Misericordia es amor compasivo, un amor que busca sa sfacer las necesidades y aliviar las miserias de los demás.
Reconociendo nuestras debilidades y pecados humanos, Dios siempre está listo para derramar Su misericordia sobre nosotros. En-contramos este mensaje resonando como un estribillo en todo el Diario de Santa Faus na cuando Jesús le dijo:
"Yo soy el Amor y la Misericordia misma (1074). Mi Corazón se desborda con gran misericordia por las almas, y especialmente por los pobres pecadores... es para ellos que la Sangre y el Agua fluyó de mi Corazón como de una fuente desbordante de misericordia (367). Que ninguna alma teme acercarse a Mí, a pesar de que sus pecados sean tan escarlatas (699). Mi misericordia es mayor que tus pecados, y los del mundo entero (1485). Dejo que mi Sagrado Corazón sea perforado con una lanza, abriendo así de par en par la fuente de misericordia para . Ven con confianza para sacar gracias de esta fuente (1485)."

Los invito a ustedes y a su familia a rezar la Letanía a la Divina Misericordia por nuestro mundo y nuestra iglesia mientras se-guimos buscando maneras de aliviar el sufrimiento y la miseria de todos. Que cada corazón se haga eco de "Jesús en confió."
