There’s an old saying that goes, “Once a Catholic, always a Catholic.” Maybe you have
been away from the Church for a little while or for quite some time, but now you feel a
tug at your heart calling you back to the Catholic Church. Listen to that tug. It’s your
Heavenly Father reaching his arms out to you, the Holy Spirit whispering in your ear,
hoping to draw you home.
We hope you accept this as your invitation to rediscover the truth, wonder and mystery of
the Catholic faith. As your brothers and sisters in our worldwide Catholic family, we want
you back. We’ve missed you, and our Church is not the same without you.
Regardless of why you left or got out of the habit of going to Mass, you can always come
home and return to the practice of the sacraments and the fullness of relationship with
Jesus Christ and the Church he founded. We are Catholic. Welcome home.

Domingo de la Divina Misericordia La Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia se celebra el primer Domingo después del Domingo de Pascua. Sor María Faustina, apóstol de la Divina Misericordia, forma parte del círculo de santos de la Iglesia más conocidos. A través de ella el Señor Jesús transmite al mundo el gran mensaje de la Divina Misericordia y presenta el modelo de la perfección cristiana basada sobre la confianza en Dios y la actitud de caridad hacia el prójimo. Antecedentes Una devoción especial se comenzó a esparcir por el mundo entero a partir del diario de una joven monja polaca en 1930. El mensaje no es nada nuevo, pero nos recuerda lo que la Iglesia siempre ha enseñado por medio de las Sagradas Escrituras y la tradición: que Dios es misericordioso y que perdona y que nosotros también debemos ser misericordiosos y debemos perdonar. Pero en la devoción a la Divina Misericordia este mensaje toma un enfoque poderoso que llama a las personas a un entendimiento más profundo sobre el Amor ilimitado de Dios y la disponibilidad de este Amor a todos – especialmente a los más pecadores. El mensaje y la devoción a Jesús como la Divina Misericordia esta basada en los escritos de la Santa María Faustina Kowalska, una monja polaca sin educación básica que, en obediencia a su director espiritual, escribió un diario de alrededor de 600 páginas que relatan las revelaciones que ella recibió sobre la Misericordia de Dios. Aún antes de su muerte en 1938 se comenzó a esparcir la devoción a la Divina Misericordia. El mensaje de Misericordia es que Dios nos Ama – a todos- no importa cuan grande sean nuestras faltas. Él quiere que reconozcamos que Su Misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados, para que nos acerquemos a Él con confianza, para que recibamos su Misericordia y la dejemos derramar sobre otros. De tal manera de que todos participemos de Su Gozo. Es un mensaje que podemos recordar tan fácilmente como un ABC. A — Pide su Misericordia. Dios quiere que nos acerquemos a Él por medio de la oración constante, arrepentidos de nuestros pecados y pidiéndo- le que derrame Su Misericordia sobre nosotros y sobre el mundo entero B — Sé misericordioso – Dios quiere que recibamos Su Misericordia y que por medio de nosotros se derrame sobre los demás C — Confía completamente en Jesús – Dios nos deja saber que las gracias de su Misericordia dependen de nuestra confianza. Mientras más con- fiemos en Jesús, más recibiremos. Nuestro Señor le habla estrictamente de esto a Santa Faustina: Exijo de ti obras de Misericordia que deben surgir del amor hacia Mí. Debes mostrar misericordia al prójimo siempre y en todas partes. No pue- des dejar de hacerlo ni excusarte ni justificarte. (Diario 742). Así como lo mandan los evangelios "Sean Misericordiosos así como su Padre en el Cielo es Misericordioso, " piden que seamos misericordiosos con nuestro prójimo "siempre y en todo lugar" parece imposible de cumplir pero el Señor asegura que es posible. " Cuando un alma se acerca a Mí con confianza, la colmo con tal abundancia de gracias que ella no puede contenerlas en sí misma, sino que las irradia sobre otras almas. " (Diario 1074) ¿Cómo irradiamos la Misericordia de Dios a nuestro prójimo? Por medio de nuestras acciones, palabras y oraciones. "En estas tres formas" Él le dice a Sor Faustina " está contenida la plenitud de la misericor- dia" (Diario 742) Todos hemos sido llamados a practicar estas tres formas de misericordia, pero no todos somos llamados de la misma manera. Tenemos que preguntarle al Señor, quien comprende nuestras personalidades individuales y nuestra situación, que nos ayude a reconocer las di- versas formas con que podemos poner en práctica Su Misericordia en nuestras vidas diarias. Pidiendo la Misericordia de nuestro Señor, confiando en su Misericordia, y viviendo como personas misericordiosas nos podemos asegurar que nunca escucharemos decir "Sus corazones están lejos de mí" sino más bien la hermosa promesa de " Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, ya que ellos obtendrán Misericordia". Divina Misericordia en todo el mundo Muchas Diócesis y parroquias celebran el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia de diferentes maneras. Algunas tienen una misa durante la hora de las tres de la tarde, "hora de la Misericordia"; otras tienen una Santa Hora de Adoración Eucarística, la cual generalmente incluye la recitación de la coronilla de la Divina Misericordia. La bendición de la imagen de Nuestro Señor Misericordioso y su veneración son con normalmente incluidas como parte de la la Misa o de la Hora Santa. Informen a su sacerdote de esta fiesta tan importante y com- partan con el la devoción de la Divina Misericordia. Celebración personal de la Divina Misericordia Si tu no puedes atender una celebración organizada, hay muchas formas de celebrar personalmente, tal como rezar la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia, leer las Sagradas Escri- turas o leer selecciones del Diario de la Beata Hermana Faus- tina (Divina Misericordia en mi alma), especialmente textos referentes a la Fiesta. Algunos encuentran que es gran ayuda escuchar cassettes de enseñanzas e himnos sobre la Divina Misericordia. Otros miran vídeos sobre el mensaje de la Di- vina Misericordia y la vida de la Hermana Faustina. Además de esto deberíamos encontrar oportunidades para actos perso- nales de misericordia. Propagación la Devoción a la Divina Misericordia Jesús le dijo a la Hermana Faustina: " Haz lo que esté en tu
