Divine Mercy

Sunday

Jesus, I trust in You!

The bread and wine consecrated at

all of our Masses for Divine Mercy Sunday

and the following week were donated by

Lydia Marks

in thanksgiving for our priests

here at St. Agnes:

Bishop John O’Hara, Fr. Michael Barrett,

Fr. Robert Brisson, Fr. Francis Dasari,

Fr. William Elder, and Fr. Brian McWeeney.

What a lovely gesture!

“Christ is alive!” proclaims the Pope. Pope

Francis’s new Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christus

Vivit calls to “all Christian young people” and the People

of God, including pastors and the faithful, and urges them

to the youthful newness of life in Christ! The Pope proposes that youth engage the joy of a

living God, the richness of their Catholic faith, and the

strength of living in Christian community. He illuminates

the Scriptures to give youth tangible hope and draw them

more fully into the Church. And in a time of new technolo-

gy and transformative social changes, the pope challenges

youth to take the grounded path of generous sacrifice and

faithful companionship with peers, family, neighbors, and

elders.

Available now

in the St. Agnes bookstore.

Divine Mercy

Holy Hour

In recognition of

Divine Mercy Sunday,

St. Agnes will offer a

Holy Hour on April 28th at 3pm.

The Holy Hour will include

Exposition and Benediction of the

Blessed Sacrament, a meditation

by Fr. Francis, and, of course,

the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

All are welcome!

Your post-Lenten practice...keep going!

St. Agnes’s pews were full for the Easter Triduum. In some cases, it was

standing-room-only! It cannot be said enough—KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Come to Mass during the week.

Make Confession a regular habit (once a month).

Consider abstaining from meat on Friday, a longtime Catholic tradition.

Spend a few minutes with the Blessed Sacrament at St. Agnes any weekday afternoon.

Read daily scripture. Mass readings can be found on the St. Agnes website.

Try something new! Shop the bookstore for a new devotion or prayer card.

Say a decade of the Rosary every day. If you can do more, great, but a decade is worthwhile.

Small habits make a Catholic practice work!

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy As we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, we especially

remember the Chaplet that the Lord gave to St. Faustina,

commonly known as the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This

chaplet can be prayed on any Rosary, as the number of

prayers coordinate to the number of beads. Traditionally,

the chaplet is prayed at the hour of our Lord’s death, 3pm.

Here at St. Agnes the chaplet is prayed every weekday at

that time. Come join us!

Instructions for the Chaplet of Divine Mercy: Begin with the Sign of the Cross. Pray one Our Father,

one Hail Mary, and one Apostle’s Creed. Then, on the “Our Father beads,” say the following

prayer: Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul

and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord

Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of

the whole world. On the “Hail Mary beads,” say the following prayer: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy

on us and on the whole world. Repeat these prayers in this same pattern until all 5

decades of the Rosary are completed. In conclusion, say the following prayer three times: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,

have mercy on us and on the whole world.

***

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is recorded in the

book, “Divine Mercy in My Soul,” written by St. Maria

Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) of Poland, pictured above.

First published in English in 1981, it is a well-known work

that can be purchased in the St. Agnes bookstore.
