APRIL POPE’S UNIVERSAL INTENTION

Doctors and their Collaborators in War Zones. For doctors

and their humanitarian collaborators in war zones, who

risk their lives to save the lives of others.

MAY POPE’S UNIVERSAL INTENTION

The Church in Africa, a Seed of Unity. That the Church in

Africa, through the commitment of its members, may be

the seed of unity among her peoples and a sign of hope

for this continent.

FAMILY FAITH MOMENTS

Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday. The message

of The Divine Mercy is that God loves us – all of us, and

He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than

our sins. When we call upon Him with trust, we receive His

mercy and let it flow through us to others. This message

and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based on

the writings of St. Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated

Polish nun who wrote a diary recording the revelations

she received about God’s mercy. Pope John Paul II lived

and taught the message of Divine Mercy, describing it as

the answer to the world’s problems. When he canonized

Sister Faustina, he also established Divine Mercy Sunday

on the Second Sunday of the Easter Season and

declared, “This is the happiest day of my life.”

Celebrating the Church year with your family. Discuss the

ABC’s of the Divine Mercy message as a family. A – ask

for God’s Mercy. Approach Him in prayer repenting our

sins and asking for His mercy upon us and the whole

world. B – be merciful. God wants us to extend love and

forgiveness to others just as He does to us. C – completely

trust in Jesus. The more we trust in Jesus, the more graces

we will receive.

EVERYDAY HOPE CIRCLE

The Everyday Hope Circle (previously called the

Interracial Dialogue Circle) will be meeting in the West

Conference Room on Monday, May 13, at 7:00 pm.

Please join us as we discuss the beauty and inspiration of

God’s creation. For more information, please contact

Bernadette at 235-2447 or email Amy at

ajennison365@gmail.com.

CANDY for the MILITARY

You can donate candy bars for the military men and

women at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Snacks are

provided free for the soldiers in the USO Wright Cafe. On

the first full week of each month, a basket will be in the

main foyer of all the Region XII churches for your

donations. Look for the baskets from May 5 to 11. Thank

you for your continued support for our military members!

BLESSING OF HOMES

There is a Catholic Tradition to have homes blessed as a

means of being made more

aware of God’s presence in our

lives and to respond to the

One who loves us. It is the

Church’s hope that having invoked these blessings, the

people know that they, too,

are blessed and are called to

make the world a more holy place by their very

lives. Region XII clergy would like to extend the opportunity to have your home blessed. Please call the Parish Administration Office at 233-1503 to make

arrangements for the blessing.

PRAYER CHAIN

We are called to pray for each

other as a region family. If you

or a loved one is in need of

prayers, please send your

prayer request by calling the

Parish Administration Office at 233-1503 or email jbarbour@saintpeterparish.org. The prayer request

will be sent out so that others may know of and

pray for your intention. Your privacy will be

respected.

FAMILY CELEBRATIONS

Calling all REGION XII members... are you

celebrating the birth of a new family member, a

special birthday, a significant anniversary, or a

major milestone… is someone in your family graduating or getting married outside the region? If

you would like a noteworthy family event posted in

CATECHISM CORNER

Merciful Marriage

by Josh Miller

It is providential that this catechism

series has come to the Sacrament of

Matrimony on Divine Mercy Sunday.

It has been said that the battleground

for the soul of today’s society is the

family. The family is built on the love,

commitment, and forgiveness of man

and woman towards each other.

In the beginning, man was made for love. Marriage is

the most profound natural expression of love to which

most of our race is called. But, we blew it. We sinned.

As a consequence, the union of man and woman

“has always been threatened by discord, a spirit of

domination, infidelity, jealousy, and conflicts that can

escalate into hatred and separation” (CCC 1606).

This discord first manifested itself with a blaming match

between Adam and Eve after the apple. “Their

relations were distorted by mutual recriminations;

their mutual attraction, the Creator’s own gift, changed

into a relationship of domination and lust; and the

beautiful vocation of man and woman to be fruitful,

multiply, and subdue the earth was burdened by the

pain of childbirth and the toil of work” (CCC 1607).

The catechism names recrimination as the vice which

corrupted marriage. Aggressive (or passive aggressive)

accusations damaged the first marriage. Accusations

continue to damage our marriages today. These

accusations are not always unjustified. Eve shouldn’t

have tempted Adam with the apple. Adam shouldn’t

have let the serpent into the garden in the first place.

Husbands and wives today make real mistakes too.

No one can inflict a deeper wound in you than

the love of your life. If reconciliation is going to be

difficult anywhere, it will be here. Yet, one who

accuses in anger is not seeking truth or justice.

Loveless accusation destroys relationships.

Sometimes, Divine Mercy can become just two nice

words we like to string together. Not so when we apply

them to marriage, including everything from ruining the

laundry to infidelity. Divine Mercy is unlimited.

Unlimited patience. Unlimited understanding.

Unlimited forgiveness. Such infinite virtue is impossible

for mankind, but that is why marriage is a sacrament.

God offers His divine strength, and Grace is never

insufficient. Grace strengthened Christ to endure the

cross. Grace offers us faithful, lasting, fruitful, sacrificial,

and merciful marriages. All we have to do is ask for it.

Josh is a Youth Minister for high school and junior high

students at St. Peter. Contact Josh at 674-0763

or through email at jmiller@saintpeterparish.org.

The Feast of Divine Mercy Sunday celebration on April 28, will complete the individual’s private Novena to the Divine Mercy, which began on Good Friday. We will have the closing for Divine Mercy on Sunday, April 28, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm at St. Adalbert Church. In order to receive the complete graces of the Divine Mercy, the following listed below are required. For more information, please call the Religious Education Office at 237-3516.

Privately pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and the Novena at 3:00 pm on Good Friday (the hour of great mercy).

Pray the Divine Mercy Novena each day from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday.

R e c e iv e t h e S a c r a m e n t o f Reconciliation within eight days before or after Divine Mercy Sunday.

In order not to distract from the solemnity of this program, there will be no Sacrament of Reconciliation offered on Divine Mercy Sunday.

Attend Mass and receive Holy Communion on Divine Mercy Sunday.

May 1

Blanca Schwendeman and her culinary partner Anna Marie Berger are promising a great Mexican/Lithuanian/Hungarian mish mash in tribute to Cinco de Mayo. Never heard of such a combination? Neither has anyone else, but they promise a presentation that you will not want to miss.

May 15

Matt de Angelo, the executive Chef at Citi Lites, will do his molecular gastronomy presentation, with food fun using foams and gels and centrifuges and other scientific equipment to entertain you with good food and good science. Hope our insurance is current in case he has an industrial accident. If he injures himself prior to that night, Frank Leibold (a son of the parish) will fill in. His left arm is in a sling for two more months, but Frank guarantees he can cook one-handed.

RSVP

Please call Lena at 233-3531 (by the weekend before the class) so that we have enough food and copies of the recipes for everyone. All classes are from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. Cost is $5 per person each class, and include taste testing of the delicious food and the recipes.

THE DIVINE MERCY

“Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, ‘Peace

be with you.’” The disciples were paralyzed by fear. After the

Crucifixion, they had locked themselves in a room and were

keeping a low profile. They didn’t want to end up how Jesus

had ended up. But the Lord stepped right into this paranoia and

dispelled it in an instant: “The disciples rejoiced when they

saw the Lord.” Although these first Christians were very

concerned about preserving their lives, the fact is that living

holed up in an attic wasn’t a life of much freedom or joy. Jesus

wanted His followers to have the fullness of life, but this

required trust in Him and His promises. As today’s Gospel puts

it, through the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, “you

may have life in His name.”

You and your family are invited to serve together, at St. Peter Parish, as FAMILY ALTAR SERVERS.

The Altar Server Ministry is a humbling and special ministry, in which you assist the priest at Mass. Serving at the Lord’s Table, individually or together as a family, is a great to way grow and learn your faith.

Training and scheduling will be available. Children must be 5th grade or older. Please call the Religious Education Office at 237-3516 for more details.
