Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Our archdiocese will be taking up The Catholic Relief Services Collection (CRSC) April 29 and 30. By participating in this collection, you are responding to Jesus in disguise in some of the most marginalized communities in our world. The CRSC provides services for immigrants, humanitarian aid in the wake of natural disasters, refuge for the displaced, and advocacy for peace and justice around the world. Let us join together in this collection to support those suffering and on the margins of society.

For example, in Niger, changes in climate in western Africa are adversely affecting poor and rural farmers. No matter how hard these farmers work, droughts are shortening the rainy season, leaving harvests too small to support families and communities. Your support of the CRSC is helping connect businesses that provide drought-resistant seeds to these communities. These new relationships are providing hope to these communities for a sustainable future.

The CRS Collection funds CRS’ work in the most impoverished corners of the world and also funds five other Catholic world relief programs. In those five programs you are instrumental in

• Feeding Jesus’ hunger in suffering refugees through the USCCB Department of Migration and Refugee Services (MRS).

• Offering legal assistance to Jesus in struggling immigrants through the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC).

• Reaching out to comfort Jesus’ loneliness in isolated workers through the pastoral work of the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church.

• Advocating on behalf of Jesus in the poor and marginalized through the public policy work of the USCCB Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development.

• Sending aid to Jesus in the victims of natural disaster through the Holy Father’s Relief Fund.

Your support of this collection makes a difference for so many around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection this year. If you want to learn more about the collection and the people who benefit, please visit www.usccb.orglcatholic-relief.

Support the collection and answer the knock of Jesus in disguise.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr Archbishop of Cincinnati

How To Pray The Chaplet Of Divine MercyOptional Opening Prayers: You expired, Jesus, but the source of life gushed forth for souls, and the ocean of mercy opened up for the whole world. O Fount of Life, unfathomable Divine Mercy, envelop the whole world and empty Yourself out upon us.

(Repeat 3 times) O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Hail Mary and the Apostle’s Creed

For each of the five decades (On each “Our Father” bead of the rosary, pray)

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 each of the 10 “Hail Mary” beads, pray)

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Concluding prayer (Repeat 3 times)

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Second Sunday of EasterSunday of Divine Mercy

Today’s Readings: Acts 2:42–47; Psalm 118:2–4, 13–15, 22–24; 1 Peter 1:3–9; John 20:19–31. The Acts of the Apostles describes the strength of the first Christian commu-nities. Today’s First Reading show that those early Christians did all things in common. They gathered to learn the teach-ings of the Apostles. They shared food and other goods. They prayed at the temple and in their homes—together. Life in Christ is best served when it becomes life in Christ together, life in Christ in common with other believers.

On this Second Sunday in the Easter season, our com-munities of faith should be proclaimed as our sources of life in Christ lived daily. When we suffer, our community prays for us, shares food, and seeks ways to help us. When we share good news, our community proclaims that joy ever

more loudly, and promises continued support and prayer as.Look around your church community today. Here is

your faith fan club. Empowered by the Spirit, renewed by the Risen Christ, and graced by the continued presence of the Father, our communities of faith assemble and share what breaking bread together means. Rediscover the sincerity of heart within your parish. You will find that the peace of Christ, which is proclaimed in the Gospel as Christ’s greet-ing, will rest more deeply when voiced and named clearly and with sincerity. You will find that the faith that is more precious than gold, as St. Peter writes in today’s Second Reading, is more powerful when the assembly proclaims it together by word, in action, and for one another. The joy of the resurrection is palpable in the community of faith.

Peace Be with YouGod our Father,you sent your Son to give us life,and to bless us with his peace.Your Son breathed his Spirit on his disciplesand on us today,filling us with his mercy and forgiveness,his peace and his grace.May we be filled with the Spirit,and take that Spirit into the world,filling the world with your peace.May we be empowered by the Spirit,so that others may grow in holiness

and love,and your grace might flow beyond

our grasp.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity

of the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

This Week At HomeMonday, April 24Boldly Speaking God’s WordIn today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles, those earli-est Christians were empowered by the Spirit over and over again. That empowerment was manifested by speaking the Word of God with boldness. In the light of the Resurrection and its meaning affecting all avenues of one’s life, speaking the Word of God boldly can be less daunting. Has Easter helped you to reflect on how boldly you apply the Word of God to your life? Today’s Readings: Acts 4:23–31; Psalm 2:1–3, 4–7a, 7b–9; John 3:1–8.

Tuesday, April 25St. Mark, EvangelistThe writer of the oldest Gospel, St. Mark, was not one of the Twelve. His Gospel is the shortest, and was used as a source for both Matthew and Luke. Take some time today to read from this straightforward account of Jesus, perhaps focusing on his presentation of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection. Consider the succinct ending to the Gospel and his emphasis on faith. Today’s Readings: 1 Peter 5:5b–14; Psalm 89:2–3, 6–7, 15–17; Mark 16:15–20.

Wednesday, April 26 God So Loved the WorldThe opening lines of today’s Gospel capture both Incarnation and redemption. God so loved the world, so loves us, that he gave his Only Begotten Son that we might have eternal life. How much love do we have within us that we show others? We have many chances to show our love in the world, but do not always accept those opportunities. Today can be the day to accept one of those opportunities and demonstrate our love, which is God’s love, to the world. Today’s Readings: Acts 5:17–26; Psalm 34:2–3, 4–5, 6–7, 8–9; John 3:16–21.

Thursday, April 27Easter JoyAfter six weeks of Lent, we have this wonderful season of Easter, which stretches even longer. However, it seems almost too much to remain joyful and ready to sing alleluia for that long. Pope Francis has reminded us that, as Christians, we have a calling to be joyful. The joy of the Resurrection is found in rediscovering Christ here and now, in one another and in daily experiences. Don’t let go of that joy. Today’s Readings: Acts 5:27–33; Psalm 34:2, 9, 17–18, 19–20; John 3:31–36.

Friday, April 28Loaves and Fish and FragmentsThe Gospel of the multiplication of the loaves and fish helps us contemplate the many ways that Jesus shares himself with us and feeds us. In this story, Jesus is aware of the crowd’s need for physucal as well as spiritual nourishment.What do you do with your leftovers? How do you share your loaves, your food, your mealtimes? Sharing Jesus Christ with others is simpler than you might think. We might be more inclined to participate in that sharing if we take time to realize the many ways Christ has shared himself with us. Today’s Readings: Acts 5:34–42; Psalm 27:1, 4, 13–14; John 6:1–15.

Saturday, April 29St. Catherine of SienaOne of the great mystics and spiritual writers of the Church, Catherine of Siena suffered from the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. However, her wounds were not visible to the world until her deathbed. Instead, her joy in the Passion of the Lord was paramount. She sought, with great integrity, to unify a divided Church and to draw all peoples to the Cross as the one means of achieving salvation. Today’s Readings: 1 John 1:5—2:2; Psalm 103:1–2, 3–4, 8–9, 13–14, 17–18; Matthew 11:25–30.
