Happy Anniversary
Are you celebrating a milestone wedding anniversary this year? If you are
Bishop Swain would like to celebrate it with you. There will be a Mass in Ab-
erdeen or Sioux Falls this summer honoring those married in the following
years: 1991, 1966, 1956, 1951, and before 1951. This Mass is for parishion-
ers of the Diocese of Sioux Falls. You do not both have to be Catholic to be recognized for
this Mass. Please let Melissa know 285-6466 or drop a note in the collection basket with
your names and wedding date by April 10th if you are interested in attending this special
Anniversary Mass. Personal invitations will be sent by the Bishop with the date, time and
location.
“You may be thinking, ‘I don’t deserve to
be forgiven. My sins are too great!’
Thankfully, God’s love is greater than all
the sins of all times. Jesus offers his grace
and forgiveness to every repentant heart.”

During the Advent and Christmas Season, we say Merry Christmas to each other as we pass by … wouldn’t
be great if, like modern Greeks, we would say public to each other… Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti! These Greek
acclamations mean “Christ is Risen! He is truly Risen!”, and in the Christian East — both Catholic and Orthodox —
these acclamations replace the usual greetings of hello and goodbye during the fifty days between Easter and Pen-
tecost, the liturgical season of Easter or Eastertide. During Eastertide, the first eight days have a special identity,
and today (in the liturgical calendar) — eight days after Easter Sunday — has three names: 1) the Octave Day of
Easter, 2) the Second Sunday of Easter, and 3) Divine Mercy Sunday.
The number eight has special meaning in the sacred liturgy because it is a symbol of the new creation (the
eighth day of the week we await for Christ’s 2nd Coming). The drama of creation unfolded over seven symbolic
days, and the eighth day is the sign of God’s pluperfect love revealed in the new creation. This is foreshadowed in
the Old Covenant through circumcision taking place eight days after birth and is confirmed by the Resurrection tak-
ing place on Sunday, both the first day of the week and the eighth day. Accordingly, in the liturgical calendar the
eight days from Easter Sunday until today are kept as one festive celebration of the Resurrection, and today com-
pletes the eighth day or Octave of Easter.
Moreover, because the Gospel appointed for today speaks of the Divine Power to forgive sins which the
Lord Jesus gave to his Apostles when he first appeared to them after his Resurrection, the emphasis of the liturgy to-
day is on the great mercy of God. Modern devotion to the Lord Jesus as the embodiment of Divine Mercy is con-
nected to the spirituality of St. Faustina, a Polish mystic and religious Sister who was canonized by Pope Saint John
Paul the Great. (You may remember, John Paul died on the eve of Divine Mercy Sunday in 2005, was beatified on
Divine Mercy Sunday in 2011, and was canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2014.) It was Pope Saint John Paul
who decreed that the Second Sunday of Easter would be kept as Divine Mercy Sunday, and with Pope Francis’ a
Jubilee Year of Mercy which will conclude in on the Solemnity of Christ the King this year.
In his first Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (or Joy of the Gospel), Pope Francis explained that as a
teenager he had a life changing experience of mercy by going to Confession. “After making my confession I felt
something had changed. I was not the same. I had heard something like a voice or a call.” This moment of mercy in
the life of Jorge Bergoglio helps explain his burning desire to share God’s mercy with others, and now as Pope
Francis he describes the Church as a “community [that] has an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of its own expe-
rience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy” (EG, 24). Let us keep this Octave of Easter, Divine Mercy Sun-
day, by resolving to seek the Lord’s mercy for ourselves and be instruments of that mercy for others. Christos Anesti!
Alithos Anesti!

RENEWAL OR “NEWAL”?
Evangeliza�on
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all na�ons. Bap�ze them in the name ‘of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.’” — Ma5hew 28:19
A cause and effect of parish renewal is evangelization. If the parish is alive, and attached to Christ the Vine (Jn 15:5), it will
bear fruit and thereby become more alive and bear more fruit. A renewed church is evangelized and evangelizing.
