The Resurrection of Our Lord is the Merciful Act of God. God lavished His Mercy not only on His Begotten Son by bringing His human body to new life, but through His resurrected Son He has granted His mercy to all of us, on the whole humanity. This means that everyone has the chance to ask God, through His Son, for forgiveness of sins and receive the Grace of His Mercy that will bring us the fruit of eternal life and the resurrection of our mortal bodies. As we may learn from Jesus' appearances after His Resurrection, our own resurrection will not be back to the same kind of life we once had, but rather we will enter another kind of life with the different capabilities of endless life. Our fulfillment in happiness will be rooted in God's love from Whom we will no longer be separated by alienation of sin. Sin has been nailed to the Cross of Jesus forever. That's why the Mercy of God is depicted on His Image by two streams - of Blood that feeds us and of Water that cleanses us. Jesus asks us to tirelessly pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for the conversion of all, that the world, who is bathed in the Blood of Christ, will not waste God's Mercy but come to the source of life and love.

La Resurreccion de Nuestro Senor es el Hecho de la Misericordia de Dios, que otorgala, no solo a Su Hijo Engendrado por resucitarlo Su cuerpo humano a la nueva vida, pero a traves de Su hijo Resucitado ha con-cedido Su misericordia a nosotros y a la humanidad en-tera. Esto lo significa que todos tienen la oportunidad a pedir a Dios por Su Hijo para perdonar sus pecados y y recibir Su Gracia de la Misericordia que nos trae el fruto de la vida eterna y la resurreccion de nuestros cuerpos mortales. En nuestro resurreccion, como en la resurrec-cion de Jesus, no volveremos otra vez a la misma vida despues de la muerte, pero entraremos en la vida sin fin con otras capacidades, como aprendemos de Jesus en Su apariciones despues de Su Resurreccion. Nuestro cum-plimiento de ser feliz o bendito tendra raiz en el Amor de Dios. No seremos nunca separados de Dios por la alienacion del pecado. Por siempre el pecado ha clavado en la Cruz de Jesus. Por eso la Misericordia de Dios se muestra en Su Imagen por dos rayos: de la Sangre que nos alimenta y de la Agua que nos limpia. Jeus nos pida siempre a rezar la Capilla de la Misericordia Divina por la conversion de todos, que el mundo que es lavado en la Sangre de Cristo no perdera La Misericordia de Dios pero venga a la fuente de la vida y del amor.

Francis Forms a Community and Receives Saint Clare

The young men of Assisi began to take notice of the remarkable change that had overtaken Francis. One night, Bernardo da Quintavalle observed the unsuspect-ing Francis as he repeatedly prayed "My God and My All." Inspired by his friend's piety and devotion, Bernardo gave away his vast fortune and joined Francis in order to live more fully the call of the Gospel with him. As others joined them, the city of Assisi marveled at how many of its young men would forsake material comforts to follow Christ in poverty. In 1209, Pope In-nocent III had a dream in which he witnessed the walls of the great Lateran Basilica, the symbol of the univer-sal Church, slowly falling down. Before the utter col-lapse of the church, however, a small man wearing a simple gray tunic tied at the waist by a cord rushed up to support the church and prevent its collapse. Mean-while, in 1210 Francis walked to Rome with his band of followers in order to obtain the blessing of the Pope on the founding of his Order. On seeing him, Pope Inno-cent recognized Francis as the figure in his dream and eagerly blessed him and his followers and verbally ap-proved their rule of life through which they would re-new the Church. Several years later Clare, the daughter of a nobleman of Assisi and ten years younger than Francis, begged to join his Gospel life of poverty. So Francis received her in 1212 with several other young women and placed them in a monastery where they de-veloped a contemplative rule which expressed their commitment to peace, to prayer, and to solitude. By successfully integrating Franciscan spirituality with the monastic lifestyle, Clare of Assisi proved to be one of the great religious innovators of her age. To this day, the Poor Clares have retained their commitment to the contemplative life and continue as the cloistered branch of the Franciscan family.

Francisco funda una comunidad y recibe Santa Clara

Los jóvenes de Asís se daban cuenta al cambio extraor-dinario de Francisco. Una noche, Bernardo da Quinta-valle vio como Francisco rezo repitiendo:”Mi Dios y mi Todo”. Inspiro por esta devocion de su amigo Bernardo abandano su riqueza totalmente y se unio a Francisco para que sea capaz de vivir su llamada al Evangelio li-bremente. Cuando otros unieron a Francisco, el pueblo de Asis se pregunto cuantos jovenes podria renunciar su bienestar material y seguir al Cristo en la pobreza. En ano 1209 el papa Innocent III tuvo vision en su sueno en que los muros de la Basilica Grande de Laterano, el sim-bolo de la Iglesia universal, derrumban lentamente. Sin embargo, antes del hundimiento de la Iglesia absolute un hombre insignificado, vestido en la tunica gris y po-bre atada en cintura con cuerda, se da prisa a apoyar la Iglesia para no se hunde. Mientras, en 1210 Francisco con sus amigos-discipulos fueron a Roma para obtener la bendicion del papa a establecer su Orden Religioso. Al verlos, el papa Innocent reconocio a Francisco como este hombre de su vision y les bendecio con entusiasmo y aprobo las reglas del Orden de Francisco como la vida religiosa para renovar la Iglesia. Algunos anos despues, Clara la hija de la familia noble en Asis, deseo vivir el Evangelio en la pobreza como la Orden de Francisco. Entonces, Francisco la recibio en 1212 con otras mujers jovenes y les dio un monasterio como el lugar a vivir. Escribio por ellas las reglas de la vida espiritual y contemplativa que expresaron el com-promiso con la paz, la oración y la soledad. Clara de Asis integraba con gran exito la espiritualidad francis-cana con la vida monástica, que se hacia la reformadora grande de su siglo. Hasta hoy, las Claras Pobres mantie-nen su compromiso con la vida contemplativa como la “hija” enclaustrada de la familia franciscana.
