W E INVITE YOU TO COME AND

CELEBRATE H OLY W EEK WITH US . Palm Sunday This is the day that Jesus came into Jerusalem. People were so excited to see Him and they rejoiced

when they saw Him. This was like a big parade for Jesus. Today we also remember that Jesus soon

would suffer and die for us on the cross. We reflect on the joy and pain of Jesus’ journey.

Symbols of the Day: The Eucharist (Body and Blood of Jesus) and Foot Washing

Color of the Day: WHITE

Gospel Reading: John 13:1-15

Good Friday This is one of the saddest days for our Church as we remember that Jesus had to

carry His cross and die for us. We do not celebrate Mass this day, but we do reflect

on the cross and thank Jesus for all that He did for us.

Symbol of the Day: The Cross

Color of the Day: RED

Gospel Reading: John 18:1--19:42

The three days of the sacred Paschal

Triduum begin with the Mass of the Lord’s

Supper on Thursday and culminate with

the celebration of Easter. I noticed that

Holy Thursday, April 18, also marks the

anniversary of the death of Fr. Henry

Boerboom. Fr. Boerboom was our parish’s

longest serving pastor – from 1917 to 1964. He died in 1970.

Boerboom Veteran’s Park in Osseo is named in his honor.

The generation of Fr. Boerboom has been referred to as the

“greatest generation.” It’s a generation that fought through two

World Wars and sacrificed through the economic crash of the

Great Depression – and somehow they found a way to fight

back tyranny. Yet for them it was nothing to boast about. It was

just who they were. They clung to family, their values, and their

faith. They made the world a better place.

Right before his suffering and death, Jesus told His disciples,

“The hour has come.” Now, our hour has come. Let’s cling to Jesus.

Divine Mercy Novena Begins This Friday

In a private revelation, as told in the Diary of St. Faustina, Jesus asked that

Divine Mercy Sunday be preceded by a Novena to The Divine Mercy.

A Novena is nine days of prayer in preparation for a feast. In the case of the

Novena to The Divine Mercy, we pray the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy each day

for a specific intention. Divine Mercy Sunday falls on April 23.

Our Lord told St. Faustina,

"I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy,

that they may draw ... strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need

in the hardships of life, and especially at the hour of death" (Diary, 1209).

You can also learn more at:

www.thedivinemercy.org

Your Divine Mercy Sunday Opportunity to Receive God’s Mercy

The Decree of Indulgence for Divine Mercy Sunday grants a plenary or full indulgence to those who satisfy certain conditions

established by the Church and a partial (incomplete) indulgence to those who fulfill some, but not all, of the conditions.

A plenary indulgence means that by the merits of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, the full remission of the

temporal punishment due to sacramentally forgiven sins is obtained. The person becomes as if just baptized, and would fly immediately

to heaven if he died in that instant.

A partial indulgence means that a portion of the temporal punishment due to forgiven sin is remitted. Partial indulgences are received either

by doing some act to which a partial indulgence is attached (e.g. pray-ing a partially indulgenced prayer), or by the incomplete fulfillment of

the conditions attached to a plenary indulgence.

To demonstrate your desire to receive this mercy,

the basic requirements are: “a plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions

(sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer for the intentions of Supreme Pontiff) to the faithful who, on the Second Sunday

of Easter or Divine Mercy Sunday, in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin,

take part in the prayers and devotions held in honour of Divine Mercy, or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in

the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful Jesus, I trust in you!)”

Read the full details on the Vatican’s web site:

http://w2.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-vi_apc_01011967_indulgentiarum-doctrina.html

The Divine Mercy Novena

begins on Good Friday

Praying the Chaplet together is a wonderful family

activity that only takes about 10 minutes/day.

During the Solemn Novena leading up to Divine Mercy

Sunday, the Chaplet should be offered each day for the

day's intentions The souls prayed for on each day are:

DAY 1 (Good Friday) All mankind, especially sinners

DAY 2 (Holy Saturday) The souls of priests and religious

DAY 3 (Easter Sunday) All devout and faithful souls

DAY 4 (Easter Monday) Those who do not believe in Jesus

and those who do not yet know Him

DAY 5 (Easter Tuesday) The souls of separated brethren

DAY 6 (Easter Wednesday) The meek and humble souls and the souls of children

DAY 7 (Easter Thursday) The souls who especially venerate and glorify Jesus' mercy

DAY 8 (Easter Friday) The souls who are detained in purgatory

DAY 9 (Easter Saturday) The souls who have become lukewarm
