Special Thanks to the folks who came to help with the church cleaning on Monday—Kathy Montgomery, Debbie Owen, and Joan Risen and our faithful volunteer John Lee. During Holy Week is the only time when the Chapel can be cleaned. Once the chapel closes on Thursday night, the crew starts by moving furniture so the carpet cleaners can get started on Friday morning. The carpet dries on Friday, and then the cleaning crew comes in on Saturday morning to do a major clean and put-back so the chapel will be ready on Saturday night. The church also receives many changes in altar linens and red and white for all the Holy Week services as well as the Easter flowers come in. The lawn and the flower gardens are also worked on. Many hands work together to make our church beautiful in praise to God! God bless our parishioners! An After Easter Treat is Coming to St. Luke’s! You are invited to attend a screening of the film "The Original Image of Divine Mercy" after the 4:30 Mass on Saturday, April 9, in the parish hall. The Original Image of Divine Mercy is a fascinating documentary that traces the improbable journey through time of the original painting of Divine Mercy – the only rendition of the Divine Mercy painting that Saint Faustina ever saw during her short life. The film includes intriguing interviews with key witnesses, as well as Bishop Robert Barron, Harry Connick Jr., Jim Gaffigan, George Weigel, Immaculée Ilibagiza and many others. Refreshments—a light supper—will be served before the movie, so we ask you to contact Lester Dzuik at 859.396.8858 or email him at LMKDZUIK@gmail.com or there will be a signup sheet on the credenza in the vestibule.

Through His revelations to St. Faustina, Jesus has given us unambiguous insights into His passion for showing His mercy to all of the faithful. In today’s excerpt, we are told of the power of trust in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in securing His mercy at the hour of one’s death: [St. Faustina] heard these words: At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person the pardon is the same. When this chaplet is said by the bedside of a dying person…the very depths of My tender mercy are moved for the sake of the Sorrowful Passion of My Son. (Diary, 811) Today the Lord said to me, I have opened my heart as a living fountain of mercy… Let them approach this sea of mercy with great trust… Whoever places his trust in My mercy will be filled with My divine peace at the hour of death. (Diary, 1520) My daughter, encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given to you… When hardened sinners say it, I will fill their souls with peace, and the hour of their death will be a happy one… When they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Savior.
