LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

Peace be with you! Of all of the things the resurrected

Christ could have said, he chose this: Peace be with you!

These calming words lessened the disciples' anxiety and

gave them a wonderful sense of reassurance. Words have

the power to do that. Jesus touches his friends with his

breath and breathes his Spirit upon them. This intimate ges-

ture of peace begins to alleviate the uncertainty and fear

that no doubt consumed their thoughts and hearts. Words

and gestures are so important in doing God's work. Even

the simplest of greetings and actions can profoundly move

people and direct them to God. On this Sunday of Divine

Mercy, we are reminded that God's all-forgiving and merci-

ful love comes to us through the risen Christ. By our words

and actions, may we show that forgiveness and merciful

love to others.

Attention Business Owners… have you ever

thought about advertising in this Church Bulletin?

Now is the time of year to consider placing an add.

Seasonal and part time ads are available! Please

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE

GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

After my mother passed away, my sister and father had a

falling out of sorts. When he moved to be closer to me, she

told me that she didn't ever want to speak to him again, say-

ing, "Even if he is on his death bed, do not call me." My

father was in his late 70's, and the pain he would have felt if

he knew her wishes would have been too much to bear.

Because of this, I made a decision to not tell him. This also

put a strain on my relationship with my sister as I cared for

the one person in this world she seemed to despise the

most.

Of all the gifts God has given us, time and family are at the

top of the list to be cherished. Also, both are finite gifts.

Our family members will not walk in this world forever,

and each day that slips away cannot be restored. Still, we

build up walls of fear, doubt, resentment, anger, and pain,

not allowing ourselves to forgive and be good stewards of

what we have been given.

On Divine Mercy Sunday, God's mercy is overflowing

through all the earth. There is no excuse for you and me to

not be reconciled with God and accept this profound com-

passion. In turn, there is no excuse to not extend that mercy

and reconcile with those who have hurt us.

I always believed I would have a renewed relationship

with my sister when my father's death would come to pass.

Two weeks after he passed, my sister suddenly died as

well. There is no rewind of time. Yes, good stewards, today

is the day! - Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

HELP! HELP! We are looking to FORM a committee

to run the Gift Shop and weekend weekly Bake Sale after

each mass this coming summer. We require 3 volunteers at

each of our 3 masses, 2 to work the Bake Sale and 1 to

work the Gift Shop. If you are interested in becoming in-

volved, or perhaps your family would like to volunteer at

one weekend mass, please call the office ASAP. We need

to get our new plan in place by the end of May (Memorial

Day weekend.) Our Gift Shop/Bake Sale has an annual

revenue of about $10,000! (thanks to our wonderful vol-

unteers, parishioners and visitors! Call 518668-2046 for

more info. THANK YOU!

A new way to help our Food Pantry… Sacred Heart is

now collecting returnable bottles and cans that have

the .05 deposit on them (water, soda, beer). We will

be returning them to Hannaford (through Clynk it) and

will use the funds to purchase needed items for our

Food Pantry. Easy… Right? So feel free to drop

off your cans and bottles to the Parish Center and Mr.

Joe Datello will be in charge of bagging, tagging and

delivering them. Thank you!

Sacred Heart Catholic Community GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER

UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE He has you in mind. Do we think about that much? The

God of the universe has us in mind, individually as persons

and together as one human family. We hear this truth in

today's Gospel story of Thomas. His doubt is likely familiar

to us by now. "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his

hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my

hand into his side, I will not believe."

Jesus is God. He could have risen any way he wanted. He

could have risen perfectly healed, as a further sign of his

power over death and suffering. But when Thomas encoun-

ters him, we see what Jesus chose. "Put your finger here

and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my

side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." In resurrect-

ing his body, Jesus already has Thomas in mind. Jesus re-

tains his wounds for Thomas, for the disciples, and for all

who would doubt the sacrificial power of love. This inten-

tional love of Jesus is echoed by John and his disciples,

who authored this Gospel. "Jesus did many other

signs...these are written that you may come to believe that

Jesus is the Christ...and that through this belief you may

have life in his name."

From its earliest beginnings, the Church knew the power of

sign and story. When they wrote the Gospels, they had us

in mind. We are all Thomas from time to time. We need to

see the mercy of God lived and real in our lives. This can

happen throughout the circumstances of our daily comings

and goings. It can also happen through meditating on the

Scripture, through placing ourselves in the stories and lis-

tening to God's voice speaking. We don't get to see what

the disciples got to see, but we know, through them, that

God always has us in mind. As he reminds the disciples,

"Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

Our “Sisters in Stitches” Ministry meets every Monday afternoon around 2:00. New members or drop in guests are always welcome. Bring your needles (crochet or knitting) and come and join this great, fun ministry.
