Divine Mercy Sunday April 19, 2020
THE FINANCIAL REALITY
It goes without saying (perhaps you are facing
the reality yourselves) that to go six weeks with-
out any collections raises a critical challenge for
our two parishes. The Archdiocese is allowing
us to borrow money for salaries, etc., but we still
have operating expenses that come in and paying
them is being postponed, but only for so long.
We will be borrowing money for payroll and that
means added debt to our already outstanding
high debt. We are receiving some income from
online giving and drop offs at the office. I can’t
emphasize enough how critical your continued
contribution is. What I want to ask is that every-
one consider seriously giving to the parish. Per-
haps you could drop it off in the envelope slot at
the office, perhaps you could send in a dona-
tion . After six weeks of no regular income, we
know that normal life will not jump back to “the
way it was” into May. This is going to be a long-
term recovery and both parishes are going to
need your extra support. So many people are in
dire straights financially and we totally under-
stand because – so are we! We can empathize
with those who are, and we outreach to those
who can continue to support us. Please consider
this opportunity below to help us.
Fr Brian and Fr. Bob
90-DAYS NOW – FOR YOUR PARISH
This special initiative asks, if possible, for parish-
ioners to rally around their parish by making a
special daily offertory commitment for the next
90 days. This effort is intended
to supplement weekly offertory gifts, given the
challenges of the current crisis. Should you
choose to join in this effort, the Archdiocese has
created an easy-to-use link to donate.
https://bcatholic.sites.bostoncatholic.org/90DaysYourParish
COLLABORATIVE NOTES
1. Fr. Brian is out of the hospital and continuing
his recovery as well. Please continue your day-a-
prayer for Fr. Brian. He is most grateful.
2. Confession is by appointment. Please call the
office and leave a message. The Voice Mail is re-
trieved each day and we will be in touch with
you.
3. My prayer is for you and your family. For
those affected by the virus and its consequences,
we continue to pray for you all. Please pray for
us and God bless you and your families.
Stay well and stay put.
4. First Communion is postponed in both parish-
es. In consultation with Fr Brian, we are reticent
to set any dates for First Communion until the
state is “free” and we can set a date that will
work. We don’t want to keep changing dates, so
we ask your patience and understanding in these
unique times. The student “sign up” sheets at
this point will be suspended for the year in all
grades. As soon as we can do so with some cer-
tainty, we will inform you of a date for First
Communion. Given overlapping schedules etc.,
we may have to adjust the celebrations as
well. Right now we are in unchartered territory
and trying our best to move forward. We will
keep the community informed.

Divine Mercy Sunday April 19, 2020
His Mercy Endures By Dr. Scott Hahn
We are children of Jesus' Resurrection from the dead. Through this wondrous sign of His great mercy, the Father of
Jesus has given us new birth, as we hear in today's Epistle.
Today's First Reading sketches the "family life" of our first ancestors in the household of God (see 1 Peter 4:17). We
see them doing what we still do - devoting themselves to the Apostles' teaching, meeting daily to pray and celebrate
"the breaking of the bread."
The Apostles saw the Lord. He stood in their midst, showed them His hands and sides. They heard His blessing and
received His commission - to extend the Father's mercy to all peoples through the power and Spirit He conferred up-
on them.
We must walk by faith and not by sight, must believe and love what we have not seen (see 2 Corinthians 5:7). Yet the
invisible realities are made present for us through the devotions the Apostles handed on.
Notice the experience of the risen Lord in today's Gospel is described in a way that evokes the Mass.
Both appearances take place on a Sunday. The Lord comes to be with His disciples. They rejoice, listen to His Word,
receive the gift of His forgiveness and peace. He offers His wounded body to them in remembrance of His Passion.
And they know and worship Him as their Lord and their God.
Thomas' confession is a vow of faith in the new covenant. As promised long before, in the blood of Jesus we can now
know the Lord as our God and be known as His people (see Hosea 2:20-25).
This confession is sung in the heavenly liturgy (see Revelation 4:11). And in every Mass on earth we renew our cove-
nant and receive the blessings Jesus promised for those who have not seen but have believed.
In the Mass, God's mercy endures forever, as we sing in today's Psalm. This is the day the Lord has made - when the
victory of Easter is again made wonderful in our eyes.
