For your holiness relies not on what you do,
but on what you allow God to do through you.
Have courage.
God will perfect you.

Carlos & Gabriela Cerezo
In his announcement for the Jubilee Year of Mercy our Holy
Father Pope Francis wrote, “Do not forget that God forgives all,
and God forgives always. Let us never tire of asking
forgiveness” (March 13, 2015). Last week we celebrated Divine
Mercy Sunday. From the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception December 8, 2015 until the Solemnity of Christ the King
November 20, 2016 we are celebrating a Jubilee Year of Mercy,
“a time of grace, peace, conversion and joy.” And as Pope Francis
reminds us “There are no walls or distances which can prevent the
Father’s mercy from reaching and embracing us.”
One of the most beautiful stories about mercy occurs in the long
version of today’s Gospel from John 21:1-19. The first part of the
Gospel presents some of the disciples in their third encounter with
the resurrected Christ. But the focus is really on Peter and his “up
close and personal” interaction with Jesus. Before this meeting
Peter was ready to go back to his old routine – fishing. Jesus had
other plans. He turned Peter around and directed him on a new

Pope Francis’ Prayer Intentions for April
Universal: Small Farmers
That small farmers may receive a just reward for their
precious labor.
Evangelization: African Christians
That Christians in Africa may give witness to love and faith in
Jesus Christ amid political-religious conflicts.
Peter had the strength and courage to take up his new mission.
St Paul wrote in his Epistle to the Romans, “What will separate us
from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? … No, in all these
things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For
I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us
We have the opportunity to encounter Jesus every time we participate in the sacraments. Like Peter we can experience Jesus’ healing power of mercy, forgiveness and reconciliation. We can share
a meal with Jesus through the Eucharist and experience the full
meaning of sacrificial love. And finally Jesus asks us the same
question he asked Peter, “Do you love me”? Let us pray that
through our experience of the Risen Christ we have the strength
and courage to say, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you” and
follow Jesus where ever He may lead us.
Jubilee Year of Mercy
Lord, Jesus Christ,
You have taught us to be merciful
like the heavenly father
and have told us that whoever sees you
sees Him.
Let the Church be your visible face in the world.
Send your spirit so that the Jubilee Year of Mercy
may be a year of grace from the Lord,
and your church, with renewed enthusiasm,
bring good news to the poor,
proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed,
and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through
the intercession of Mary,
Mother of Mercy,
you who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
Amen

Reflexiones sobre las lecturas de este domingo del Padre Rico.
10 de abril 2016
Tercer Domingo de Pascua
Aprender a Alabar.
Este tiempo de Pascua es como una prolongada contemplación de
la gloria de Cristo y de su victoria. El Señor vive, se ha levantado
de entre los muertos, y como él mismo dijo, una vez levantado, ha
atraído a todos y a todo hacia sí. Cristo se levanta y con él el pueblo que confía en su Nombre; Cristo se levanta y su victoria da unidad a la creación ya renovada, para presentarla como ofrenda solemne en el altar del cielo. Pascua es el tiempo más propicio para
reunir nuestras voces con los coros de los ángeles en el cielo. A
todo lo largo de la Pascua descubrimos de manera nueva que no
hay sino una Iglesia, que es el Cuerpo de Cristo, o mejor: el Cristo
total, como gustaba de decir san Agustín de Hipona. Tales la grandiosa visión de la que escuchábamos en el texto de la segunda lectura: << Y todas las criaturas del cielo y de la tierra, de debajo de
la tierra y del mar, oí que también decían: Al que está sentado en el
trono y al Cordero, alabanza, honor, gloria y poder por los siglos
de los siglos.>>Y así como durante la Cuaresma nos invitaba al
ayuno y el arrepentimiento de nuestras culpas, ahora, llegada la
Pascua, se nos invita a ejercitarnos en la alabanza y en la acción de
gracias, porque una cosa es cierta: tanto necesita nuestro corazón
aprender a alegrarse en el bien como necesita aprender a rechazar
el mal.
Amor del Bueno.
Los apóstoles ciertamente habían aprendido muy bien estas lecciones, pues, después de ser injusta y cruelmente azotados <> como oímos en la primera lectura de hoy. Fortalecidos por el don del
Espíritu Santo, fueron capaces no sólo de dar testimonio sino de
sufrir, e incluso gozarse en el sufrimiento, como un modo máximo
de dar testimonio de Aquel que les concedía tal fortaleza y tal
alegría. Todo, pues, depende de la calidad de amor que nos mueve, como lo muestra el evangelio de hoy. Tres veces negó Pedro a
Jesús, cuando llegaba la hora suprema de la dolorosa Pasión; tres
veces preguntó Jesús a Pedro si le amaba, cuando la tormenta
había ya pasado. Aquel testimonio de amor tenía una razón de ser
muy clara: sanar las heridas que habían causado el miedo, la vanidad y el orgullo. Y de aquí podemos tomar una segunda lección
muy importante sobre el sentido del tiempo pascual: buscar amor
que sea digno de ese nombre. De hecho, el tiempo pascual es como
un inmenso arco tendido entre la Resurrección del Señor y Pentecostés. Estos límites cronológicos tienen una razón de ser: tanto la
resurrección como la efusión maravillosa del Espíritu Santo son las
más grandes expresiones del amor que vence sobre el pecado y la
muerte.
Amén.

“Behold, your Mother”
John 19:27
There will be a Consecration and/or Renewal of
Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Ceremony after the 9am Mass on Saturday, June
4 the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary. This will be a brief ceremony. Either an
individual member of the church, or an entire
family, ministry or group, may consecrate themselves to Our
Blessed Mother. This holds much power spiritually. When we
ask Mary to be our Mother by consecrating ourselves to Her, we
place ourselves under Her care and protection, and allow Her to
embrace us even more closely.
Consider using the book “33 Days to Morning Glory” to spiritually prepare yourself to make this consecration. It is available in
the vestibule for $5/each. The date to begin your 33 day preparation would be Tuesday, May 3.
There are wonderful videos that will greatly enrich your 33 day
preparation available to you for no cost through our parish subscription to FORMED. Go to www.formed.org and create an
account by using our parish code 4Z22ME (all caps). Then go to
“Programs” and scroll down to “Exploring the Catholic Faith”
where you will find “33 Days to Morning Glory.” Click on that
and enjoy! A digital copy of the book is there as well.
Consider forming a small group or gather your family and do
this preparation together. You will be blessed!

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults): Helping you to live a Gospel inspired life in an increasingly secular world

Now might be the perfect time to join us. Wednesdays, 6:30-8pm.
All sessions are informal and completely commitment free.
RCIA topics this week, Wednesday, April 13:

Altaration: The Mysteries of the Mass Revealed.
No RCIA or Inquiry session this week,
Wednesday, April 6; Enjoy Spring Break!

Inquiry meets year-round so it’s always the right time to join!
What is the Neophyte Year
The first year a person enters the Catholic Church,
from the day of initiation to the first anniversary of
that date, is known as the Neophyte Year. Please pray
for those at Holy Trinity who received their
sacraments at the Easter Vigil, those preparing to
enter the Church at Pentecost, and those currently in
formation in our RCIA program. As our newest
Catholics reflect on the sacraments they recently
received, we can use the Easter Season to consider the
importance of the sacraments in our own lives.
Need information on Annulments or Convalidations? Contact Joanne @ 678-466-1738 or
jsuwinski@holytrinityptc.com for confidential counseling.
