Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Christ the Lord is risen as
he promised! Alleluia!
The Church celebrates Divine
Mercy Sunday today. Pope St.
John Paul II ushered in this ob-
servance in the Liturgical Year in
part because of the abundant
mercy the Risen Jesus showed
to his Apostles as he appeared
to them. This devotion, first re-
vealed to a Polish sister, St.
Faustina Kowalska, in the early
20
th
century, is continuing to
have a huge impact throughout
the Body of Christ. I heartily en-
courage you to make time for
praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy as a family. One great resource
that I like to recommend is thedivinemercy.org. Jesus, we trust in you!
As a reminder, I am livestreaming Sunday Mass at approximately 9:00
AM every Sunday morning, and I invite you to keep following our web-
site and parish Facebook page through the course of this suspension.
I’m also available for the Sacrament of Confession from 12:30-1 PM
weekdays, 9:30-10:30 AM and 5-6 PM on Saturdays, and 8-9 AM Sun-
days.
God Bless You!
Father James Gross

St. Mary’s Parish Family sends condolences and prayers to�
�� Jeanette Stoffel and family on the recent death of her son, John
Stoffel. May he rest in peace with the Lord. �
�� Also remember the family and friends of Bruce A Karlstad the son�
in�law of Helen Daucsavage, and other family members from St.
Mary’s. May he be blessed with the Lord.�
Note: Father Gross will be offering the listed Mass intentions when
he celebrates his daily private Mass. Please add them to your pray-
er intentions when you are praying the Mass from your TV and or in-
clude them in your private prayer time.
NOTE: “Every year the collection on Good Friday supports the holy
sites and Christian communities of the Holy Land. In light of the
COVID-19 outbreak, Pope Francis authorized moving the Collection
for the Holy Land to Sunday, September 13, the Sunday nearest the
Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross. And so, you will be invited to
support the Holy Land collection in the fall. Please keep the Chris-
tians of the Holy Land in your prayers.” �
Smiler: A guy named Joe found himself in dire trouble. His business
had gone bust, and he was in serious financial trouble. He was so des-
perate that he decided to ask God for help. He began to pray, “God,
please help me. I’ve lost my business, and if I don’t get some money,
I’m going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto.” Lotto
night came, but somebody else won it.�
Joe again prayed, “God, please let me win the lotto! I’ve lost my busi-
ness and house, and I’m going to lose my car as well.” Lotto night
came, but Joe still had no luck. �
Once again, he prayed, “My God, why have you forsaken me? I’ve lost
my business, house, and car. My wife and children are starving. I don’t
often ask you for help, and I’ve always been a good servant to you.
Please just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in
order.” Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light as the heavens
opened. Joe was confronted by the voice of God himself. “Joe, meet me
halfway on this. Buy a ticket!”
Grand Forks Area Catholic Women� Due to the COVID-19 outbreak,
there WILL NOT be a Magnificat Morning in April.

“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is put-
ting oneself in the hands of God, at
his disposition and listening to his
voice in the depths of our hearts.”
St. Mother Teresa
Give Yourself Completely: The early days of the first Christian com-
munity were not easy by any measurement. Jesus had been executed,
and his disciples had to be discreet so as not to meet a similar fate. Je-
sus was now risen, but the truth of his resurrection was not accepted by
all. However, the depiction of that early community in Acts 2:42�47
would lead someone to believe it was the opposite situation. We are
told of community life where people lean on each other and share great
joy. They ate and prayed together, and many wonders and signs were
occurring to lift the community and bear witness to the power of Jesus
Christ. They were disciples living out their faith, and it was their strong
sense of stewardship that made all this possible in the face of threaten-
ing Roman and Jewish powers.�
Today, we find the Church in a new turmoil. Increasing secularism,
abuse scandals, and a lack of true fidelity place us once again in a time
that is not easy. A friend of mine likes to say that any challenge of sin
we encounter in the Church has its origin in a lack or misunderstanding
of the stewardship way of life. We create our burdens by not using our
gifts wisely and by turning inward selfishly.�
Could we use the story in Acts of the early Church to help us today? If
we begin with the decision to give of ourselves completely to God and
His people, will we become agents of change? There is only one way to
find out. Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS�

God was talking to one of his
angels and said, “Do you
know what I have just done?
I’ve just created a 24�hour pe-
riod of alternating light and
darkness on Earth. Isn’t that
great?”�
The angel said, “Yes, but what
will you do now?”�
God said, “I think I’ll call it a
day.”
