Lord hear our prayers
Pastoral Communications – Fr. Frank
Alleluia, the LORD is Risen!
Beloved Parishioners
May the Peace and Joy of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ be with you!
It gladdens my heart to wish you a Happy Easter and all the divine promises the Risen Lord
bestows upon those who bless His Name. Our Christian faith informs us, that there is no day of
the entire year that can compare with EASTER SUNDAY. No wonder St. Athanasius described
the Easter Sunday as: “the Great Sunday of Sundays”, “the Great Feast of feasts”, “the Great Solemnity of
solemnities.” If Christ had not risen from the dead on the Easter Sunday morning, and appeared to
his disciples and empowered them with the Holy Spirit, the disciples would never have the courage
to preach the Good News of the Resurrection to the ends of the earth. But they proclaimed Him
because they had seen Him alive after His Resurrection.
The Resurrection of Christ is a great testament that though evil, and Covid -19, and death, and all
the other trials, still exist around us, these will not have the last word, but God alone who raised
Jesus Christ from the dead will have the last word. As St. Paul testifies: “We now know that Christ,
raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.” (Romans 6:4, 9)
So, knowing that we are Easter people saved through Christ’s sacrificial death and Resurrection, let
us rejoice and be glad that we have a share in His triumphant victory and glory, at God’s right
hand in the heavenly places. Alleluia!
H appy Easter!
God has truly conquered death.
While I was preparing this year’s bulletin, I went back to the
article I wrote last year. It is amazing how God has brought us
through the dark days when our Church doors were physically
closed. As I stated last year– God has shown us that as long as
we have faith nothing can keep us from the love of Him.
We are truly blessed that many of our families have returned to
Masses, and our Religious Education programs. We need to
continue to pray that soon, everyone will be able to come back
to worship with us.
I want to thank everyone who has helped with our Lent and Holy Week liturgies. There are so many people who
have volunteered to create a beautiful sacred space for all the faithful. Thank you sacristans, lectors, Eucharistic
Ministers, ushers, music leaders: Elisa Hughes, Joan Naylor and Javier Dones and all of the music ministry
members, altar servers, arts & environment and our PowerPoint crew. Your work shows all of us the love you
have for our parish community.
God bless,
Kim Paczynski
Divine Mercy Sunday,

Adoration and Divine

Adoration restrictions, we will not have Baptisms during Mass until
2:30pm Chaplet further notice. We will be offering Baptisms on Saturday
morning, or after the Spanish Mass (with permission
3:00pm Benediction. from the presiding priest).
The Octave of Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday
The celebration of Our Lord’s Resurrection continues in the Church for eight days, called the Octave of Easter.
Each day of the Octave is ranked as a Solemnity in the Church’s liturgical calendar, the highest ranking of liturgical
feasts. At Masses during the Octave of Easter, as on Sundays, the Gloria, is recited or sung. And at the end of each
Mass of the Octave, the double Alleluia is sung at the dismissal.
The idea of an Octave of a great feast has its roots in the Old Testament. There are many Jewish feasts that lasted
for eight days, for example, the feast of Passover and the feast of Tabernacles. In the Catholic Church, we
celebrate eight days of Christmas as well as eight days of Easter.
The Gospel readings at Masses during the Octave of Easter include passages from the Gospels that relate various
appearances of the Risen Jesus. Reflecting on these Gospel texts is a wonderful way to prolong the celebration of
Easter. Each day during the Octave, we proclaim in the Gospel Acclamation: This is the day the Lord has made; let us be
glad and rejoice in it.
The Octave of Easter ends on the Second Sunday of Easter, the Sunday of Divine Mercy. In the Jubilee Year 2000,
at the Mass in which he canonized the humble religious Sister Faustina Kowalska, Blessed John Paul II declared
that from then on throughout the Church the Second Sunday of Easter would also be called the Sunday of Divine
Mercy. This is entirely appropriate since, as Blessed John Paul II reminded us, “Divine Mercy is “the Easter gift that
the Church receives from the risen Christ and offers to humanity… .”
Mankind’s need for the message of Divine Mercy took on dire urgency in the twentieth century, when civilization
began to experience an “eclipse of the sense of God,” and therefore, to lose the understanding of the sanctity and
inherent dignity of human life. In 1931, Jesus appeared to Sr. Faustina in Poland and expressed his desire for a
feast celebrating his mercy. The Feast of Mercy was to be on the Sunday after Easter and was to include a public
blessing and liturgical veneration of His image with the inscription “Jesus, I trust in You.” St. John Paul II explains
the hope of the Divine Mercy message:
This promise of mercy has been affirmed by the Church, which has made Divine Mercy Sunday an occasion for
receiving a plenary indulgence, “the remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sin whose guilt has
already been forgiven” (CCC, no. 1471). The plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful under the usual
conditions (Confession, Eucharist, prayer for the intentions of the pope, and complete detachment from sin, even
venial sin). The faithful may either take part in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy in any
church or chapel or recite the Our Father and Creed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved
in the tabernacle, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus.
There are many aspects of the Divine Mercy devotion, including the Chaplet, the Divine Mercy image, and the
“hour of great mercy” (3:00 p.m.). The popularity of these devotions, focused on the Lord’s infinite mercy, has
grown rapidly in recent decades. Regarding the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus said to her,
“At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for
a dying person “ (Divine Mercy in My Soul, no. 811).Mensaje pastoral del Padre Frank
¡Aleluya, el Señor resucitó!
Queridos feligreses,
¡Qué la paz y el gozo de la Resurrección de nuestro Señor y Salvador Jesucristo esté con ustedes!
Mi corazón se alegra al desearles una Feliz Pascua y todas las promesas divinas que el Señor
resucitado le otorga a todos los que bendicen su Nombre. Nuestra fe cristiana nos informa que
ningún otro día del año se puede comparar con el DOMINGO DE PASCUA. Con razón san
Atanasio describe el Domingo de Pascua como “el Gran Domingo de todos los domingos,” “la Gran Fiesta
de todas las fiestas,” “la Gran Solemnidad de todas las solemnidades.” Si Cristo no hubiera resucitado de
entre los muertos el Domingo de Pascua por la mañana y no le se le hubiera aparecido a sus
discípulos y no hubiera fortalecido a sus discípulos por el Espíritu Santo, los discípulos no hubieran
tenido la valentía para proclamar la Buena Nueva de la Resurrección por todos los confines del
mundo. Ellos proclamaron a Jesucristo porque después de la Resurrección lo vieron vivo.
La Resurrección de Jesucristo es un gran testimonio de que a pesar de la maldad, el Covid-19 y todas
las otras pruebas que nos rodean, ninguna de ellas va a tener la última palabra, solamente Dios que
resucitó a Jesucristo de entre los muertos, tendrá la última palabra. Como san Pablo testificó:
“Sabemos que Cristo, una vez resucitdo de entre los muertos, ya no muere más; desde ahora la muerte no tiene poder
sobre él”. (Romanos 6, 9)
Así que sabiendo que somos el pueblo de la Pascua, salvados por el sacrificio de la muerte y
Resurrección de Jesucristo, debemos alegrarnos porque compartimos en el triunfo de su victoria y
de su gloria, al estar sentado en el cielo a la derecha de Dios Padre. ¡Aleluya!

Dios veraderamente ha conquistado la muerte.
Cuando estaba preparando el boletín de este año, volví a leer el artículo que
escribí el año pasado. Es asombroso como Dios nos acompañó en aquellos días
oscuros cuando físicamente se cerraron las puertas de nuestra iglesia. Como les
mencioné el año pasado – Dios nos ha mostrado que mientras tengamos fe
nada nos va a separar de su amor.
Estamos verdaderamente bendecidos porque muchas de nuestras familias han
regresado a misa y a los programas de Educación Religiosa. Tenemos que seguir rezando para que pronto todos
puedan regresar a participar en las misas con nosotros.
Quiero agradecer a todos los que han ayudado con nuestras liturgias de Cuaresma y de la Samana Santa. Muchos
voluntarios han ayudado a crear un ambiente sagrado para todos los fieles. Muchas gracias a los sacristanes, ministros
extraordinarios de la Eucaristía, los ujieres, los líderes de la música: Elisa Hughes, Joan Naylor y Javier Dones y todos
los miembros del ministerio de música, los monaguillos, el ministerio de arte y ambiente y nuestro equipo del
PawerPoint. Su trabajo nos muestra a todos el amor que sienten por su comunidad parroquial.
Que Dios los bendiga,
Kim Paczynski
