ST.

COLUMBA CATHOLIC CHURCH

April 17, 2016
Fourth Sunday of Easter

Year of Mercy
While Lent was a penitential season, the
Easter season (which lasts longer than
the Lenten season!) reminds us of the
joy we have in the merciful love of God.
The most obvious example of God's
merciful love was shown to us in the
Paschal Mystery of Christ. The
culmination of this Paschal Mystery,
following the suffering and Death of
Christ, is his Resurrection, which is our
assurance that Christ triumphs over death. Not only do
we rejoice in this eternal victory, we also rejoice that,
through our faith and participation in the sacraments, we
can share in Christ's triumph as God extends his salvific
mercy toward us. The Jubilee of Mercy reminds us that
God "delights in mercy" (Mi 7:18), and so should we!
At the end of the day, spend some time in reflection, on
your own or with others, rejoicing in the love and mercy
that was shown to you by God and others today. Even if
you had a rough day, where did you see God's love
present in your life?
