If you remember, last week for Easter the meteorologists were calling for rain all weekend long.  That which had hit the Midwest and the South was supposed to head our way and deluge us in heavy rains.  What happened was that we had some of the most beautiful Spring weather for the Holy Triduum that we have seen in years.  We were not expecting it but that is what we received!
 
The same is true with God’s mercy.  We do not expect it but the mercy of God is showered upon us in ways that fill us with joy and, hopefully, with gratitude! This Divine Mercy Sunday, we are reminded that we are loved with a kind of love that only God is capable of, and His mercy is offered to all who call upon His name!  All we have to do is ask for it.  Even the most         tentative knock on God’s door along with the words “I am sorry” and the door flies open and the mercy of God overwhelms us. What we celebrate this day (and everyday of our lives) is that “even when we were  sinners,” Jesus suffered and died for us and shares with us His great gift of mercy.
 
If you have known the mercy of God, share it with others.  Share it with those who have hurt you (even if they are long dead).  Share it with this broken world of ours.  Share it with those who do not expect it (and with those who probably don’t deserve it!). “What you have been given, so you should give.”  We have been blessed with mercy, the forgiveness of our sins.  May we share this mercy with others!

​Today we begin Holy Week. It is called “holy”       because Christians throughout the world remember and celebrate the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ and it is in these life-changing events that we enter into a life of holiness. I encourage all of you to participate in the liturgies of Holy Week: Palm      Sunday, Tenebrae, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, the Good Friday liturgies, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Masses. By entering into the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus (the Paschal Mysteries), we encounter sacramentally the Lord who loved us so much that he died for our sins and rose from the dead to open the gates of heaven to those who believe in him. This is my favorite time of the liturgical year (even a little more than Christmas)    because there is such richness and intensity during this holiest week of the year. Join us this week as we    celebrate the mystery of our Faith!
