Dear Family,

I want to extend to you prayers for a most blessed Easter

celebration.

This Easter, let us remember that this is the mercy work of the

Lord. Our Lord came for one reason…mercy. This is no more

beautifully stated than in the Easter Proclamation, the Exsultet,

which says, “Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been

redeemed. O wonder of your humble care for us! O love, O charity

beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O truly

necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ!

O happy fault that earned so great, so glorious a Redeemer!”

These are almost shocking words, but true nonetheless. It is

because of sin that our Lord and Savior entered our world. God did

not come to judge us; He did not come to make us suffer; He did not

come to do anything but give us His Divine Mercy. With His Passion,

Death, and Resurrection, that Divine Mercy began.

And yet, even more shocking is the fact that our Lord’s

Passion, Death, and Resurrection is not, all by itself, the greatest

event in the history of mankind. The greatest event in the history of

mankind is that but it’s that along with when you and I receive and

accept that Divine Mercy He offers us which is made possible by His

Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Just like any other gift, if it is not

accepted, it remains ineffective. But once the gift is accepted and

opened, it can begin to operate.

Our dear Lord’s gift of gifts, His mercy, does one thing; it

heals. The Divine Physician seeks, He longs, to heal the wounds our

sins cause. We see this on the cross. The wounds on His body from

the excessive scourging, blows to the face, the nails and the final

thrust of a spear are the wounds our sins cause. And, they are proof

that He longs, He thirsts, to take them to Himself so that they may be

healed. This is Divine Mercy. Come, receive the healing of His

forgiveness from Easter through Divine Mercy Sunday. Bring to

completion the Gift of Easter. God bless and Mary keep you.
