A note from Fr. Dan…

Divine Mercy Sunday

Dear St. Francis Family,

The Second Sunday of Easter (the Sunday immediately following Easter) was proclaimed by St. Pope John-Paul II to be the Sunday of Divine Mercy. This feast comes to us from the revelations of our Lord Jesus to now St. Maria Faustina Kowalska as found in her diary. The image of Divine Mercy (which you can see in our Church Sanctuary) is depiction of Jesus in His Resurrection.  Flowing from the hands of Jesus one sees red and white streams, depicting water blood and water: the outpouring of grace and mercy on all who come to him seeking His mercy.  The words on the image: “Jesus, I trust You.” sum up beautifully Jesus’ invitation to trust in Him:  His providence, His Mercy and His love. The Divine Mercy chaplet is to be prayed at 3 PM; the hour of mercy.

This Sunday, during this time of trial, we all need to remember and look to Jesus and place our trust in Him. He, and He alone is our hope and our salvation.

Please join me and pray:  “Jesus, I trust You.”

God Bless you all.

Fr. Dan
