With the celebration of the Easter season we
once again celebrate the “crownings” at our 11 a.m.
mass. These will be celebrated for the next six weeks
as we prepare for our annual celebration of Festa on
Pentecost weekend (May 15th). While these
celebrations are a wonderful part of our parish
history and provide an opportunity to dress up and
celebrate cultural themes let us not forget the
primary focus of our liturgies and parish events is the
Easter Season. Easter is, of course, not just one day in
our calendar but is an ongoing celebration lasting
through Pentecost. We must always be careful not to
let local practices or traditions overwhelm the
universal celebrations of the Church.
Please keep in your prayers the members of
our parish who are preparing for the celebration of
First Eucharist (April 16th) as well as those preparing
for the celebration of Confirmation (June 5th). To help
put some faces to those in preparation we have put
together some photo boards which will be displayed
in our sanctuary.
As we continue to celebrate the Jubilee Year
of Mercy I thought I might share with you some brief
thoughts on The Spiritual Works of Mercy. The
Spiritual Works of Mercy have long been a part of the
Christian tradition, appearing in the works of
theologians and
spiritual writers throughout
history. Just as Jesus attended to the spiritual wellbeing of those he ministered to, these Spiritual Works
of Mercy guide us to "help our neighbor in their
spiritual needs.” The seven Spiritual Works of Mercy
are listed below. C O U N S E L I NG TH E DO UB T F U L
Everyone has moments of doubt in their faith
journey. Nevertheless, we should always remember
that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and
turn to him along our way. I N STR U CTI NG TH E
IG NO RA NT Learn about our faith and be open to
talking with others about our beliefs. There is always
something more to discover about our faith.
A DM O N I SH I NG TH E SI N N E R Do not judge, but
be supportive in helping others find their way and
correct their mistakes. Together we can learn to walk
more closely with Christ. CO M F O RTI NG TH E
SO R R O W F U L Be open to listening and comforting
those who are dealing with grief. Even if we aren't
sure of the right words to say, our presence can make
a big difference. F O RG IV I NG I NJ UR I E S Forgiving
others is difficult at times because we do not have
God's limitless mercy and compassion. But Jesus
teaches us that we should forgive as God forgives,
relying on him to help us show others the mercy of
God B EA RING WRO NG S PA TI ENTL Y Do not be
bitter about wrongs done against you. Place your
hope in God so that you can endure the troubles of
this world and face them with a compassionate
spirit.
