To the parishioners of St. Martin de Porres: Just over a year ago, I walked into St. Martin’s as the new DRE/Pastoral Assistant. At the time, I wasn’t real-ly sure what that would entail, but I was eager to find out. I didn’t know anyone here except for Fr. Jim, so I was a bit apprehensive. As it turned out, that fear was completely unwarranted. You welcomed me with open arms, despite some initial apprehension and a little concern. I am so grateful for the opportunity I was given to get to know so many of you, and to walk with you on your journey of faith. Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness, for your sense of humor and, most of all, for your unwavering support. I am truly blessed. As I take my leave, know that I hold all of you in my heart and in my prayers. May God bless you and keep you always. Laurie Lopez

SECRETS OF SCRIPTURE

We will resume our weekly Scripture Study on Thursday, May 9. This study will be held on Thursdays, from 9:15am- to 10:30am. Each week we explore the scripture readings for the week and

how they apply to us today. Father Jim will lead this group. Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome!!! Please join us for fellowship and faith.

Part Time Employment Opportunities

Father Jim is looking for someone to be the Director of Religious Education for the children. This position will be a paid position with part-time flexible hours. Some background in Children’s RE would be helpful. Please call Father Jim for more information, 303-499-7744 ext. 101. The parish is also looking for someone who would be able to do lawn care for both the Church grounds and the rectory lawn. Applications for both positions are available in the main office as well as with Father Jim.

Divine Mercy Sunday This is the Sunday when I most like to recall the mercies of God throughout this past year. Let me invite you into a similar meditation. Remembering back, what victories did you have in holding your temper, in holding your tongue, in holding back a savvy “shade” on someone? That’s mercy. Blessed are those who have not had unkind words spoken to them; more blessed indeed are those who have not spoken unkind words themselves. What physical challenges have you overcome this year? Did you fall prey to the horrible flu, or the bad colds of this season, or even pneumonia? How blessed are you who were sick and are now well. Even more blessed are those who stayed with you, cared for you, nursed and doctored you back to health. They have shown mercy, and mercy will be shown to them. How about your prayer life? Did you experience the comfort and companionship of the Holy Spirit as you navigated the depths of Christ’s life in you? Maybe a faith community has welcomed and loved you. For that mercy, in the winter and spring of your days this year, be grateful. Even more blessed are those who have extended that friendship and grace. I know a little bit about mercy, because I am the endless recipient of it. On this Divine Mercy Sunday, I offer this suggestion. Find the image of Divine Mercy. Stand in front of it. Imagine the healing rays coming from the heart of Jesus pouring straight into whatever part of your body or soul is hurting. Let those rays in. The mercy of the Risen One longs to pour into you. Jesus, we trust in you.

How can the Divine Mercy of Jesus transform you this year?

WHY IS ITA man wakes up after sleeping

under an ADVERTISED blanket

on an ADVERTISED mattress

and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth

with ADVERTISED toothpaste

washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes

drinks a cup

of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work

in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . .

refuses to ADVERTISE

believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor

he ADVERTISES it for sale.

WHY IS IT?
