From the Pastor’s Desk...
HAPPY EASTER! As we reach the eighth day of our 50
day celebration of the Resurrection these words come to
mind:
“We pray that the Church may constantly watch over
the unfolding of the mysteries of human salvation”
(Mass on St. Joseph’s Day, March 19)
“It is not that I have already taken hold of it or have
already attained perfect maturity, but I continue my
pursuit in hope that I may possess it, since I have indeed
been taken possession of by Christ Jesus.”
(Philippians 3:12)
THANK YOU – to all those who contributed in so many
ways to our beautiful and spirit-filled celebrations during
the recent Paschal Triduum which is the source and summit
of our parish’s annual liturgical life. I am very grateful to
our clergy and religious, our staff, our liturgical ministers,
and our many volunteers who co-operated with the Holy
Spirit for the glory of God, the salvation of each of our
souls, and the building up of the Body of Christ among us.
ENCOUNTER – Pope Francis continually urges the
Faithful to “a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ,
or at least an openness to letting him encounter them”.
Underscored here is an important point about the dynamism
of an encounter. Christ is constantly reaching out to all
persons, but the event of an encounter happens when that
invitation is acknowledged and responded to by a human
being. There is a divine vulnerability to reaching out, an
eager waiting in hope of a response.
SPEAKING OF VULNERABILITY – Remembering that
our word wound derives from the Latin word vulnum, is
there any other annual celebration that presents us with God’s
vulnerability more than today, when Jesus says to Thomas
(and any of us who are having trouble believing the Good
News), “Probe my wounds”?
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY – Today we celebrate Divine
Mercy Sunday, the conclusion of the annual Divine Mercy
Novena that began on Good Friday. Eucharistic Exposition
in Chapel will begin at 1:00 PM and then at 3:00 PM we will
celebrate the Divine Mercy Devotion followed by
Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
FIRST ENCOUNTERS – Next weekend within Sunday
Masses we will begin this year’s celebration of our children’s
special encounter with the Eucharistic Jesus in their First
Holy Communions. One of the benefits of locating these first
encounters within our Sunday Masses is to invite us to a fresh
encounter with Jesus each week when we receive Him
sacramentally.
ANNUAL ENCOUNTER – I’m inviting all of our Adult
Parish Volunteers to our annual Volunteer Appreciation
Night in Griffin Hall on Saturday, May 5 from 6:00 to 8:30
PM. Please RSVP by calling or emailing the Parish Office
(610-933-3732 or [email protected]) by Friday, April
20.
POOR BOXES – For the month of April all funds received
through our parish Poor Boxes will be used to support our
Parish Feeding Team which provides a hot meal for 50
neighbors each Wednesday.
ANOINTING MASS – Our annual parish communal
celebration of the Sacrament of the Sick within Mass will
take place in Griffin Hall at 4:00 PM on Monday, April 30.
Dinner will follow Mass. If attending, please call the Parish
Office, 610-933-3732, by April 28.

Counting Our Blessings!
The Divine Mercy Message and Devotion The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.
C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.
