From the Pastor’s Corner
CYCLE B ! APRIL 5, 2015
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord
T
hey have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't
know where they put Him." This must have felt like adding insult to injury. Mary Magdalene had stood faithfully by
Jesus up to His last moment on the cross. She had seen Him laid
in the tomb and she had already visited His body there to mourn
and pay her last respects. But today, on her arrival, she finds the
body missing. Wasn't it enough to torture and crucify her innocent Lord? Why did they have to take away her one last bit of
consolation? Why did they steal His body?
Imagine the despair she must have wrestled with at this
moment. As if the events of Good Friday had not been enough,
now she faced another tragic moment. From Mary's perspective,
things could not have gotten any worse. Every bit of evidence around her converged to make her
feel completely powerless and afraid. Her eyes could only see the darkness of the empty tomb.
Here now, into this rock-bottom moment when no human hope remained, here burst in the risen
Christ. Just when there was no possible solution, when everything was far beyond repair, suddenly Jesus appeared, glorious, victorious, and completely and utterly unexpected. His triumph
over death was more than that: it was also a triumph over human hopelessness and despair. It
was proof that God is bigger than our biggest problems. He is more powerful than the most
threatening evils and all the fears that lurk around in our lives.
The joy of Easter is ours, today and every day. As Christians, we can rejoice in belonging
to a God who is ready and able to break through the toughest barriers of sin and death, even
when we least expect it.

O
n February 22, 1931, Our Lord and Savior Jesus
appeared to a simple nun in a convent of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy in Cracow, Poland. At St. Faustina Kowalska’s canonization in the year
2000, the late Pope John Paul II declared the Feast of the
Divine Mercy to be celebrated on the first Sunday after
Easter. Our Lord told St. Faustina: “It is My desire that it
be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. I
desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for
all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the
very depths of My tender Mercy are open. I pour out a
whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach
the fountain of My Mercy.”
Please join us in celebration of Mercy Sunday next
week. We will celebrate this special feast with Exposition
of the Blessed Sacrament at 3:00pm in the Church.
You are encouraged to participate fully in this celebration by receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation and
receiving Holy Communion on the day of the feast. To
participate fully, we must also be merciful to others
through our actions, words, and prayers on their behalf.
If you have been away from the Sacrament of
Penance for a long time, come and experience the
peace and joy of God’s Mercy.
