Deacon George Schramm

Dear Parish Family:

Querida Familia Parroquial:

Seek to love others unconditionally,

as God loves us. This is the focus we
should meditate on today as we seek to
find meaning from the Scripture
readings in todays mass.
We have all been in a situation where we have
been deeply hurt, or have greatly hurt someone
ourselves. Either side of the coin, there are very
powerful emotions. On one side there is remorse
and guilt; on the other, hostility and resentment.
When we end up in such situations, we often times
are tempted to give up on those relationships. We go
into avoid mode to protect ourselves from further
damage, or we may have feelings of righteous
indignation, becoming stubborn and refusing to
move even slightly toward reconciliation. We may
have a strong urge to give up, to surrender to
despair. Giving up, however, can be the work of the
devil. Giving up was how Satan tempted Jesus when
He was out in the desert, and it was the last
temptation Satan hurled at Jesus as He hung dying
on the cross.
God, however, never gives up on us, even when
weve turned our backs on Him or betrayed him.
Peter denied Jesus three times before our Lords
crucifixion. In todays Gospel, it is quite clear that
Jesus has not given up on Peter as our Lord offers
him the opportunity to answer our Lord thrice about
his love for Jesus.
Unconditional love is something weve all
heard about. We have heard about Gods
unconditional love. This type of love is something
we want to give to our children, our spouses and
family members. Too often we fall into attaching
conditions on our love. This is why we need to
seek Gods forgiveness today, so we might have the
power to forgive others as He has forgiven us.
Without Gods power, unconditional love is hard
and likely not attainable. But with Gods love and
power, all things are possible even loving
unconditionally, even not giving up on them.

Traten de amar a los dems incondicionalmente,

como Dios nos ama. Este es el enfoque en que debemos
meditar hoy en da para tratar de encontrar significado
en las lecturas de la misa de hoy.
Todos hemos estado en una situacin en la que nos
han herido profundamente, o hemos herido a alguien
con gran medida. De cualquier lado de la moneda son
emociones muy poderosas. Por un lado existe el
remordimiento y la culpa, por otro, la hostilidad y el
resentimiento. Cuando nos encontramos en este tipo de
situaciones, a menudo somos tentados a renunciar a esas
relaciones. Tratamos de evitar" la situacin para
protegernos de daos mayores, o podemos tener
sentimientos de indignacin, llevndonos a ser tercos y
negndonos a tomar un solo movimiento hacia la
reconciliacin. Podemos tener un fuerte deseo de darnos
por vencido, para entregarnos a la desesperacin.
Renunciar, sin embargo, puede ser obra del diablo.
Renunciar fue cmo Satans tent a Jess cuando estaba
en el desierto, y fue la ltima tentacin que Satans
arroj a Jess mientras l colgaba y mora en la cruz.
Sin embargo, Dios nunca se da por vencido con
nosotros. Ni siquiera cuando lo traicionamos o le damos
volteamos nuestra espalada. Pedro neg a Jess tres
veces antes de la crucifixin de nuestro Seor. En el
Evangelio de hoy, es bastante claro que Jess no ha
renunciado a Pedro. Nuestro Seor le ofrece la
oportunidad de responder tres veces por su amor a
Jess.
"El amor incondicional" es algo que todos hemos
odo hablar. Hemos odo acerca del amor incondicional
de Dios. Este tipo de amor es algo que queremos dar a
nuestros hijos, a nuestros cnyuges y familiares. A
menudo caemos en querer fijar condiciones para nuestro
"amor". Es por esto que tenemos que buscar el perdn
de Dios en la actualidad, para que podamos tener el
poder de perdonar a otros como l nos ha perdonado.
Sin el poder de Dios, el amor incondicional es difcil y
probablemente no alcanzable. Pero con el amor y el
poder de Dios, todo es posible - incluso amar
incondicionalmente, y hasta no renunciar a ellos.

Jesus, you are the perfect image of the Fathers

love. I praise you with my whole heart, and I
surrender my life to you.
Deacon George

J"ess, t eres la imagen perfecta del amor

del Padre. Te alabo con todo mi corazn,
y yo entrego mi vida a ti.
Diacono George

Lord, help me find the courage to meet you in the confessional.

Divine Mercy in the Second Greatest
Story Ever Told
By Fr. Michael Gaitley

The plan is to have donuts, recite the Divine Mercy

Chaplet, watch the video and have discussion and
fellowship afterward.
This program is for everyone - young or old, large
families or single people. Families
with children can have them play
while we learn; and some adults
can set up a weekly rotation
schedule for watching the children.

Youth Group meets tonight, April 10th

at 7:00pm in the education center.

Last Week's Collection:

Last Month's collection:
Last Months budget:

Renowned speaker and author, Fr.

Michael Gaitley tells the dramatic
history of Gods Love and Mercy
as
interwoven
through
the
transformative message of St. Faustina, the miraculous
appearance of Mary at Fatima, the witness of Maximilian
Kolbe, and the world-changing papacy of Pope St. John
Paul II. Featuring the brilliant cinematic artistry of the
Augustine Institutes film studio, the vast panorama of
Gods work of mercy in the world unfolds as a story to be
experienced.

Do You Know?

Since God is invisible, how

can I discover signs of His
presence on earth?

Want the Answer?

Just take a moment to open
your Bible and read the Book
of Wisdom chapter 13:1-13.
St. Paul also reminds us of
how the existence of God, our
Creator, is manifested. You
can find it in Romans 1:19-20.
And then see if you can fill in
the letters to the right.

Each week we will present one video of this 10 video

program. If you miss a class - no worries - you can watch
it on FORMED.org.

you were younger, you used to dress
yourself and go where you wanted;
but when you grow old, you will
stretch out your hands, and someone
else will dress you and lead you
where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by
what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he
had said this, he said to him, "Follow me." - Jn 21:18-19

If we ask for Gods forgiveness,
God is ready - no, eager - to give it to us.

The
Doors
of Mercy
are Open

One of the best ways to experience Gods forgiveness

is to go to confession. For many people, this is not an
easy choice. We tend to be lax about encountering our
own failings, and telling them to someone else especially in an official capacity - can be embarrassing
and uncomfortable. Yet the priest in the confessional is
speaking Jesus' words of absolution to us without
rancor, without judgment, and with every hope that
our cleansing will help us become more aware of
Gods love within us.

Pray

Ponder
How long has it been since my last
confession? Am I ready to go and
hear Gods forgiving words?

Lord, help me find the courage to meet You in the confessional so

that I may be healed and forgiven for all the ways I have neglected
You when I have neglected others. And, help me to do better. Amen.
