Weekly Reflections
Dear Parishioners, Friends and Guests of Saint Hedwig's Parish,
The message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on the writings of Saint
Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director,
wrote a diary of about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God’s mercy.
Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine Mercy had begun to spread.
READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF
May 1 - 8, 2011
Sunday:
The message of mercy is that God loves us — all of us — no matter how great our sins. He
wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon
Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to
others. Thus, all will come to share His joy. It is a message we can call to mind simply by
remembering ABC
Monday:
A — Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting
of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon
the whole world.
B — Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others.
He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does
to us.
C — Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are
dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.
Thursday:
Living the Message of Mercy
The devotional practices revealed through Saint Faustina were given to us as "vessels of mercy"
through which God's love can be poured out upon the world, but they are not sufficient unto
themselves. It's not enough for us to hang The Divine Mercy image in our homes, pray the
Chaplet every day at three o'clock, and receive Holy Communion on the first Sunday after
Easter. We also have to show mercy to our neighbors. Putting mercy into action is not an
option of the Divine Mercy Devotion; it's a requirement!

BLESSED JOHN PAUL II, POPE
O God, who are rich in mercy
and who willed that the blessed John Paul the Second
should preside as Pope over your universal Church,
grant, we pray, that instructed by his teaching,
we may open our hearts to the saving grace of Christ,
the sole Redeemer of mankind.
Who lives and reigns.

REFLEXIÓN
El mensaje y la devoción a Jesús como la Divina
Misericordia está basada en los escritos de la Santa María
Faustina Kowalska, una monja polaca sin educación
básica que, en obediencia a su director espiritual, escribió
un diario de alrededor de 600 páginas que relatan las
revelaciones que ella recibió sobre la Misericordia de Dios.
Aún antes de su muerte en 1938 se comenzó a esparcir la
devoción a la Divina Misericordia.
El mensaje de Misericordia es que Dios nos Ama – a todosno importa cuán grande sean nuestras faltas. Él quiere que
reconozcamos que Su Misericordia es más grande que
nuestros pecados, para que nos acerquemos a Él con
confianza, para que recibamos su Misericordia y la
dejemos derramar sobre otros. De tal manera de que todos
participemos de Su Gozo. Es un mensaje que podemos
recordar tan fácilmente como un ABC.
A — Pide su Misericordia. Dios quiere que nos
acerquemos a Él por medio de la oración constante,
arrepentidos de nuestros pecados y pidiéndole que
derrame Su Misericordia sobre nosotros y sobre el mundo
entero
B — Sé misericordioso – Dios quiere que recibamos Su
Misericordia y que por medio de nosotros se derrame
sobre los demás
C — Confía completamente en Jesús – Dios nos deja
saber que las gracias de su Misericordia dependen de
nuestra confianza. Mientras más confiemos en Jesús, más
recibiremos.
BEATO JUAN PABLO II, PAPA
Oh Dios, rico en misericordia,
que has querido que el beato Juan Pablo II, papa,
guiara toda tu Iglesia,
te pedimos que, instruidos por sus enseñanzas,
nos concedas abrir confiadamente nuestros corazones
a la gracia salvadora de Cristo, único redentor del hombre.
Él, que vive y reina.

O niepojęte i niezgłębione Miłosierdzie Boże,
Kto Cię godnie uwielbić i wysławić może,
Największy przymiocie Boga Wszechmocnego,
Tyś słodka nadzieja dla człowieka grzesznego
(Dzienniczek, 951).
Umiłowani Bracia i Siostry! Powtarzam dzisiaj te proste i
szczere słowa św. Faustyny, by wraz z nią i z wami
wszystkimi wielbić niepojętą i niezgłębioną tajemnicę
Bożego miłosierdzia. Podobnie jak ona, chcemy wyznać,
że nie ma dla człowieka innego źródła nadziei, jak
miłosierdzie Boga. Pragniemy z wiarą powtarzać: Jezu,
ufam Tobie!
To wyznanie, w którym wyraża się ufność we
wszechmocną miłość Boga, jest szczególnie potrzebne w
naszych czasach, w których człowiek doznaje zagubienia
w obliczu wielorakich przejwów zła. Trzeba, aby wołanie
o Boże miłosierdzie płynęło z głębi ludzkich serc, pełnych
cierpienia, niepokoju i zwątpienia, poszukujących
niezawodnego źródła nadziei. Dlatego przychodzimy dziś,
aby na nowo odkrywać w Chrystusie oblicze Ojca, który
jest „Ojcem miłosierdzia oraz Bogiem wszelkiej
pociechy" (por. 2 Kor l, 3). Pragniemy oczyma duszy
wpatrywać się w oczy miłosiernego Jezusa, aby w głębi
Jego spojrzenia znaleźć odbicie własnego życia oraz
światło łaski, którą już po wielokroć otrzymaliśmy i którą
Bóg zachowuje dla nas na każdy dzień i na dzień
ostateczny.
Bracia i siostry! Kościół od początku swego istnienia,
odwołując się do tajemnicy Krzyża i zmartwychwstania,
naucza o Bożym miłosierdziu, które jest rękojmią nadziei i
źródłem zbawienia człowieka. Wydaje się jednak, że
dzisiaj jest szczególnie wezwany, by głosić światu to
orędzie. Nie może zaniechać tej misji, skoro wzywa go do
tego sam Bóg przez świadectwo św. Faustyny.
Bądźcie świadkami miłosierdzia!
BŁ. JAN PAWEŁ II, PAPIEŻ
Boże, bogaty w miłosierdzie,
z Twojej woli błogosławiony Jan Paweł II, papież,
kierował całym Kościołem,
spraw, prosimy, abyśmy dzięki jego nauczaniu
z ufnością otworzyli nasze serca
na działanie zbawczej łaski Chrystusa,
jedynego Odkupiciela człowieka.
Który z Tobą żyje i króluje w jedności Ducha Świętego,
Bóg,
przez wszystkie wieki wieków.
