Celebrated within the octave of Easter, it is the fruit of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection. The mercy of God pours forth to its fullest extent through the person and mission of Jesus. From His coming to His teaching to His healing and suffering to His many miracles, all is done to restore the broken human family to the grace of the Father, who is “rich in mercy” (Eph. 2:4) A s in the Old Testament, so in the New, God reaches out to save us “not because of the deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of His own mercy” (Titus 3:5). We read in the Gospels that Christ came “not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mk 2:17). He applied the prophet Hosea’s call in a powerful way: “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” esus’ teaching on mercy was a source of scandal when He chose to associate with sinners. In particular, His parable of the Prodigal Son, in revealing the Father’s merciful heart, teaches us two things. First, if we humbly admit our sins, God will forgive us. Second, the mercy of God cannot penetrate the human heart which fails to be merciful to others. oday’s Divine Mercy feast was instituted by St. John Paul II in the Jubilee Year 2000, 21 days after he canonized St. Faustina Kowalska, the uneducated Polish nun who received the Divine Mercy messages from our J T Lord in the 1930s. Her 600-page diary reveals the basic theme that we “moderns” live in the time of God’s Mercy that is being extended to all, especially sinners. God’s Mercy is infinite and unconditional for those who, opening their hearts to conversion, accept it. Those, however, who obstinately refuse Divine Mercy will be forced to experience it as Divine Justice or punishment. he Divine Mercy devotion, with its painted image of Jesus—“Jesus, I trust in you”—and the Chaplet, beg God’s mercy for our modern world. Jesus told St. Faustina that the souls of those properly disposed (a good confession during the previous Lent) who receive Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday will return to the state of their baptismal innocence! Furthermore, He insists that we all must actively be merciful towards others every day—in our thoughts, words and deeds—all in preparation for His Second Coming. With prayers and friendship, Fr.

Se celebra dentro de la octava de Pascua, es el fruto de la Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús. La misericordia de Dios se derrama en toda su extensión a través de la persona y misión de Jesús. Desde su venida a su enseñanza a su curación y sufrimiento a sus muchos milagros, todo está hecho para restaurar la familia humana rota a la gracia del Padre, que es "rico en misericordia" (Ef. 2: 4). A l igual que en el Antiguo Testamento, por lo que en el Nuevo, Dios llega para salvarnos "no por las obras hechas por nosotros en la justicia, pero en virtud de su propia misericordia" (Tito 3: 5). Leemos en el Evangelio que Cristo vino "no para llamar a los justos, sino a pecadores" (Mc 2,17). Aplicó la llamada del profeta Oseas de una manera poderosa: "Porque misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio." L a enseñanza de Jesús sobre la misericordia era una fuente de escándalo cuando Él eligió asociarse con los pecadores. En particular, la parábola del hijo pródigo, en la revelación del corazón misericordioso del Padre, nos enseña dos cosas. En primer lugar, si admitimos humildemente nuestros pecados, Dios nos perdonará. En segundo lugar, la misericordia de Dios no puede penetrar el corazón humano, que deja de ser misericordiosos con los demás. H oy en la Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia fue instituida por San Juan Pablo II en el Jubileo del año 2000, 21 días después de canonizó a Santa Faustina Kowalska, la monja polaca sin educación que recibieron los mensajes de la Divina Misericordia de nuestro Señor en la década de 1930. Su diario de 600 páginas revela el tema bá- sico que "los modernos" vivimos en el tiempo de la misericordia de Dios, que se está extendiendo a todos, especialmente a los pecadores. La misericordia de Dios es infinita e incondicional para los que, abriendo sus corazones a la conversión, la acepta. Aquellos, sin embargo, que obstinadamente se niegan Divina Misericordia se verán obligados a experimentarlo como Justicia o el castigo divino. L a devoción a la Divina Misericordia, con su imagen pintada de Jesús"Jesús, confío en ti", y la Coronilla, rogar la misericordia de Dios para nuestro mundo moderno. Jesús le dijo a Santa Faustina que las almas de los bien dispuestos (una buena confesión durante la Cuaresma anterior) que reciben la Santa Comunión el Domingo de la Misericordia volverán a su estado de inocencia bautismal! Además, insiste en que todos debemos ser activamente misericordioso con los demás todos los días, en nuestros pensamientos, pala- bras y acciones, todo en preparación para su Segunda Venida. Con oraciones y la amistad, Padre Paul Bendecidos son aquellos que no han Visto y han creido 4 UPDATE O U R F A I T H I N A C T I O N TOGETHER IN MISSION Together in Mission is a wonderful way for each of us and our Parish Community to reach out to our Catholic family throughout the Los Angeles Archdiocese who need our help and share the many blessings that we have been given at St. Margaret Mary’s. ALL MONEY GIVEN MUST, BY LAW, BE USED TO SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THIS PROGRAM AND CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. Our Parish goal for Together in Mission this year is $130,200. As of April 4, 373 families in our community have pledged $89,756. Just $40,444 more is needed to meet this year’s goal. All money that is paid that exceeds our goal is returned to the parish and we put it into our Christian Service Program so, all donations to this program go directly to those who have a real need. If you have not made a pledge yet, please prayerfully consider doing so, envelopes are available in the pews or in the parish office. THANK YOU FROM DEACON DAN WALLACE DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY CELEBRATION The first Sunday After Easter was decreed to be Divine Mercy Sunday in April, 2000 by Saint John Paul II when he was Pope. We invite you to join us for our annual liturgy celebrating this special day TODAY, April 12th, 3 PM, in the Church Our Lord said to St. Faustina “...on that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.... The soul that will go to Confession (beforehand) and receive Holy Communion (that day) shall Obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment…. The Feast of Mercy emerged from my very depths of tenderness. It is My desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. Mankind will not have peace until it turns to the Fount of My Mercy.” (Passage 699, St. Faustina’s diary.) You may bring religious articles and images for blessing.

In her Nobel Peace Prize lecture, she said the greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. She led women away from abortion clinics and toward alternatives. Let us honor her by imitating her. Mother Teresa, pray for us so that we may defend life as you did. Fr. Frank Pavone We are asking for empty baby food jars that will be used for an upcoming pro-life project. These can be delivered to the Parish Office. Thank you in advance for your support. We extend an invitation to our parishioners to share their testimonies and thoughts, in accordance with Catholic Doctrine, concerning abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment. These will be printed in our weekly bulletin. These can be delivered to the Parish Office. SMM Parish prays to end death by human hands: abortion, euthanasia, and capital punishment. 6 E S P I R I T U A L LOS SIGNOS DEL RESUCITADO Por Humberto Beltrán Los que nos consideramos creyentes vivimos a menudo como los discípulos del evangelio, al anochecer, con las puertas cerradas, llenos de miedo. Estamos inmersos en la vieja creación. Nuestras comunidades están a veces replegadas, ocultas, sin dar testimonio. Necesitamos que el Señor se haga presente y debemos reconocerlo por tres signos: la donación de la paz (hay que desterrar los conflictos), el soplo creador (hay que infundir aliento de vida) y los estigmas de Jesús (el sufrimiento por los otros es huella redentora). Jesús es el centro de la comunidad de creyentes testigos. Pero la reunión termina cuando la misión comienza. El Señor nos invita a ser creyentes, con las dificultades de ver, a ser testigos de reconciliación en un mundo dividido e injusto y a compartir la vida donde se dan sombras de muerte. Si no lo veo, no lo creo. Este evangelio nos ofrece dos apariciones de Jesús. La primera, sin Tomás y la segunda, casi exclusivamente para él. En la primera, estando cerradas, por miedo a los judíos, las puertas del lugar donde se encontraban los discípulos, se presentó Jesús en medio de ellos. Su cuerpo es ahora distinto del cuerpo anterior. Lo importantes que está presente. Está de vuelta y nos trae los dones del Padre: la paz, la alegría, el Espíritu Santo y el perdón de los pecados. En la primera aparición no estaba Tomás. Dentro de cada uno de nosotros con frecuencia también está metido Tomás, el incrédulo, sin fe. En la segunda aparición estaba Tomás. El había afirmado: “Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos y no meto mi dedo en el agujero de los clavos y no meto la mano en su costado, no creeré”. Es lo que muchas veces oímos hoy en día: “Si no lo veo, no lo creo”. Es que vivimos en un mundo dominado por los sentidos; exigimos pruebas. De todo queremos tener constancia y, muchas veces, las constancias que tomamos como prueba son falsas. Deci- mos: estoy seguro de lo que te digo porque lo vi en la televisión y lo leí en el periódico, sin tener idea de quién o quiénes están detrás de los medios y qué intenciones tienen al afirmar tal cosa. En cambio, nos cuesta creer muchas veces la Biblia, qué está escrita por el mismo Dios, y que es su Palabra. La fe, ese don divino depositado en nosotros en el bautismo como semilla, pero que necesita de nuestro cuidado y desvelo para germinar y hacerse árbol. La fe nos hace abrir los ojos del alma a realidades más profundas, siempre que respondamos, que seamos fieles a ese don de Dios. Cristo pide a Tomás que se acerque y que comulgue con sus sufrimientos tocando sus llagas y su costado. Sólo se puede tener fe, creer en la resurrección de Cristo, uniéndonos al Señor en su dolor. Pero para ello no podemos tener puestos los ojos en las cosas de este mundo. Tomás creyó no porque pudo poner su mano en la llaga del costado, sino porque cambió de una actitud materialista a una actitud de fe. Si Cristo está muerto, nada tenemos que hacer y no hay forma de unirnos a él. Pero si está vivo, si sigue brindándose como el servidor de la humanidad, no tenemos otra alternativa que compartir su servicio y ser sus discípulos. Reflexión Solamente la fe puede crear un mundo mejor de unidad, amor y hermandad. La vida de los primeros cristianos lo prueba. La misa, es el sacramento de fe: para los sentidos es pan y vino; para la fe es el Señor. Los que participamos de esta eucaristía somos pobres, ricos, blancos, negros, hispanos, anglos: es lo los ojos del cuerpo ven. Para los ojos de la fe somos todos hermanos que participan de la misma mesa.
