BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH BETHESDA, MD APRIL 12. 2015 DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA DIVINA MISERICORDIA 12 DE ABRIL DE 2015 Alabamos al Padre que manifiesta su gran misericordia en Cristo resucitado por obra del Espíritu Santo. Hemos nacido de nuevo a la vida del Espíritu como fruto de la Resurrección de Cristo. Esto es fuente de esperanza y de alegría. Estamos llamados a una herencia incorruptible, pura, imperecedera que nos está reservada en el cielo. Hemos de caminar con la mirada puesta en el cielo donde la misericordia de Cristo resucitado ha de triunfar definitivamente sobre nosotros. La fuerza del Espíritu nos custodia y fortalece. Caminamos alegres en la esperanza aunque tengamos que sufrir pruebas diversas que verifican la riqueza de la fe que profesamos. Nos apoyamos en la misericordia de Cristo que no puede fallar. La Misericordia del Señor se revela a los Apóstoles en la aparición del día de la Pascua y se repite a los ocho días. A su vez, los apóstoles han de ser portadores de la Misericordia del Señor que se prolonga en la Iglesia. Nosotros, también recibimos la misericordia del Señor y hemos de comunicarla.

[email protected] Hoy, el segundo domingo después de la Pascua es la fiesta de la Divina Misericordia. Este mensaje y la devoción a Jesús como la Divina Misericordia está basada en los escritos de Santa Faustina Kowalska, que relatan las revelaciones que ella recibió sobre la Misericordia de Dios. El mensaje de Misericordia es que Dios nos ama a todos, no importa cuán grande sean nuestras faltas. Él quiere que reconozcamos que Su Misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados. El primer elemento de la Devoción a la Divina Misericordia que fue revelado a la Hermana Faustina fue la Imagen, el 22 de Febrero del 1931. Jesús se le aparece con rayos de luz irradiando desde su Corazón y le dice: “Pinta una imagen según el modelo que ves, y firma: “Jesús, en Ti confío”. Deseo que esta imagen sea venerada primero en esta capilla y luego en el mundo entero." (Diario 47) Prometo que el alma que venere esta imagen no perecerá.” (Diario 48). Juan Pablo II canonizó a Santa Faustina el 30 de abril de 2000. Ese mismo día instituyó oficialmente la Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia, el segundo domingo después de la Pascua, tal como Jesús había pedido a Santa Faustina. ORDENACION DEL PADRE MARIO El lunes 20 de Abril a las 2:00 p.m. en la Catedral de San Mateo nuestro párroco, el Padre Mario Dorsonville será ordenado como Obispo Auxiliar de Washington.
