PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3 PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3

Dear Brothers and Sisters—Happy Easter! Today is Sunday of Mercy. St. John Paul II instituted this econd Sunday of Easter as Sunday of Divine Mercy. Especially because in today’s Gospel we recall the Institution of the Sacrament of Penance. The Risen Lord breathed upon His disciples saying: 'Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall for-give, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are re-tained' (John 20:22-23) Therefore, dear Brothers and sisters, those Christians who like to celebrate His resurrection they must also celebrate His mercy. How? by renewing their faith in such a tremendous sacrament, by frequently doing good and holy confessions, and by being merciful to others. How could we celebrate his mercy if we do not confess our sins, if we do not examine our consciences, if we do not recognize our miseries and our faults, if we are uncharitable, or if we keep hatred in our souls. We profess in the Creed: "I believe in the forgiveness of sins," Which is to say I believe in His mercy. By Christ's will, the Church possesses the power to forgive the sins of the baptized and exercises it through bishops and priests, in the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. As we read in the Cate-chism of the Catholic Church. "In the forgiveness of sins, both priests and sacraments are instruments which our Lord Jesus Christ, the only author and liberal giver of salvation, wills to use in order to ef-face our sins and give us the grace of justification." (CCC, 984-987)

Pope Francis said that "God never gets tired of forgiving. We get tired of asking for forgiveness. There-fore, let us rejoice and be glad for His resurrection, for His mercy and let us reject all what discourages us in our way to holiness. Let us not be confused with the anxieties and worries of this world, but let us live the peace of God, in a new way of life after His example, knowing that He is the only good of our souls.

PHÚC ÂM: Ga 20, 19-31 "Tám ngày sau Chúa Giêsu hiện đến". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Vào buổi chiều ngày thứ nhất trong tuần, những cửa nhà các môn đệ họp đều đóng kín, vì sợ người Do-thái, Chúa Giêsu hiện đến, đứng giữa các ông và nói rằng: "Bình an cho các con". Khi nói điều đó, Người cho các ông xem tay và cạnh sườn Người. Bấy giờ các môn đệ vui mừng vì xem thấy Chúa. Chúa Giêsu lại phán bảo các ông rằng: "Bình an cho các con. Như Cha đã sai Thầy, Thầy cũng sai các con". Nói thế rồi, Người thổi hơi và phán bảo các ông: "Các con hãy nhận lấy Thánh Thần, các con tha tội ai, thì tội người ấy được tha. Các con cầm tội ai, thì tội người ấy bị cầm lại". Bấy giờ trong Mười hai Tông đồ, có ông Tôma gọi là Điđymô, không cùng ở với các ông, khi Chúa Giêsu hiện đến. Các môn đệ khác đã nói với ông rằng: "Chúng tôi đã xem thấy Chúa". Nhưng ông đã nói với các ông kia rằng: "Nếu tôi không nhìn thấy vết đinh ở tay Người, nếu tôi không thọc ngón tay vào lỗ đinh, nếu tôi không thọc bàn tay vào cạnh sườn Người, thì tôi không tin". Tám ngày sau, các môn đệ lại họp nhau trong nhà và có Tôma ở với các ông. Trong khi các cửa vẫn đóng kín, Chúa Giêsu hiện đến đứng giữa mà phán: "Bình an cho các con". Đoạn Người nói với Tôma: "Hãy xỏ ngón tay con vào đây, và hãy xem tay Thầy; hãy đưa bàn tay con ra và xỏ vào cạnh sườn Thầy; chớ cứng lòng, nhưng hãy tin". Tôma thưa rằng: "Lạy Chúa con, lạy Thiên Chúa của con!" Chúa Giêsu nói với ông: "Tôma, vì con đã xem thấy Thầy, nên con đã tin. Phúc cho những ai đã không thấy mà tin". Chúa Giêsu còn làm nhiều phép lạ khác trước mặt các môn đệ, và không có ghi chép trong sách này. Nhưng các điều này đã được ghi chép để anh em tin rằng Chúa Giêsu là Đấng Kitô, Con Thiên Chúa, và để anh em tin mà được sống nhờ danh Người. Đó là lời Chúa.

Segundo Domingo de Pascua—Domingo de la Misericordia 8 de abril

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Segundo Domingo de Pascua (Domingo de la Divina Misericordia); Domingo de Pascua en el calendario juliano Lunes: La Anunciación del Señor Miércoles: San Estanislao Jueves: Yom Ha-Shoa (Memorial del Holocausto) Viernes: San Martín I

PARA QUE CREAS No sucede demasiado a menudo que el autor de uno de los libros de la Biblia se dirija directamente a nosotros para explicarnos por qué está escribiendo lo que está escribiendo. En la lectura del Evangelio de este domingo, que pertenece a la conclusión del Evan-gelio según san Juan, el autor nos dice que ha elegido escribir estos acontecimientos para que “crean que Je-sús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, y para que, creyendo, tengan vida en su Nombre” (20:31). La carta de san Juan retoma esta idea diciendo que: “todo el que cree que Jesús es el Cristo ha nacido de Dios” (5:1); lo que llamaríamos “nacer de nuevo”. Nuestra lectura de los Hechos de los Apóstoles para este Segundo Domingo de Pascua nos muestra exacta-mente qué sucede cuando los creyentes nacen de nue-vo por medio de la fe. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
