Our Lord has prepared a feast for us...

The Feast of Divine Mercy Sunday, April 8

“This Feast emerged from the very depths of My mercy...It is My desire that it be solemnly cele-

brated on the !irst Sunday after Easter...The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy

Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the Di-

vine !loodgates through which graces !low are opened.”

-from The Diary of Sr. Faustina Kowalska

Divine Mercy Novena Begins Good Friday, March 30 and ends Saturday, April 7.

The F"#$% &' D()(*" M"+,- is an incredibly rich gift that has

been given to us by Jesus himself when he said, “I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a ref-uge and a shelter for all souls, especially for poor sinners.” We will celebrate this Feast by reciting the Chaplet of Divine Mercy after each Mass on Mercy Sunday. Rosaries and “How To” cards will be available. Please call Dick and Pauline Bomeisl 770.971.4473 for details and be sure to visit our table in the Narthex for more information.

Saint Joseph Catholic • Marietta, Georgia • www.saintjosephcc.org

Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King's triumph! Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory "loods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness. Rejoice, let Mother Church also rejoice, arrayed with the lightning of his glory, let this holy building shake with joy, "illed with the mighty voices of the peo-ples. (Therefore, dearest friends, standing in the awesome glory of this holy light, invoke with me, I ask you, the mercy of God almighty, that he, who has been pleased to number me, though unwor-thy, among the Levites, may pour into me his light unshadowed, that I may sing this candle's perfect praises.) (V. The Lord be with you. R. And with your spirit.) V. Lift up your hearts. R. We lift them up to the Lord. V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. R. It is right and just. It is truly right and just, with ardent love of mind and heart and with devoted ser-vice of our voice, to acclaim our God invisible, the almighty Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord, his Son, his Only Begot-ten. Who for our sake paid Adam's debt to the eternal Father, and, pouring out his own dear Blood, wiped clean the record of our ancient sinfulness. These, then, are the feasts of Passover, in which is slain the Lamb, the one true Lamb, whose Blood anoints the doorposts of believers.

This is the night, when once you led our forebears, Israel's children, from slavery in Egypt and made them pass dry-shod through the Red Sea. This is the night that with a pillar of "ire banished the darkness of sin. This is the night that even now, through-out the world, sets Christian believers apart from worldly vices and from the gloom of sin, leading them to grace and joining them to his holy ones. This is the night, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld. Our birth would have been no gain, had we not been redeemed. O wonder of your humble care for us! O love, O charity beyond all telling, to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O truly necessary sin of Adam, destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! O happy fault that earned so great, so glorious a Re-deemer! O truly blessed night, worthy alone to know the time and hour when Christ rose from the underworld! This is the night of which it is written: The night shall be as bright as day, dazzling is the night for me, and full of gladness. The sanctifying power of this night dispels wickedness, washes faults away, restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to mourners, drives out hatred, fosters concord, and brings down the mighty. On this, your night of grace, O holy Fa-ther, accept this candle, a solemn offering, the work of bees and of your servants’

hands, an evening sacri"ice of praise, this gift from your most holy Church. But now we know the praises of this pillar, which glowing "ire ignites for God's honor, a "ire into many "lames divided, yet never dimmed by sharing of its light, for it is fed by melting wax, drawn out by mother bees to build a torch so precious. O truly blessed night, when things of heaven are wed to those of earth, and divine to the human. Therefore, O Lord, we pray you that this candle, hallowed to the honor of your name, may persevere undimmed, to overcome the darkness of this night. Receive it as a pleasing fragrance, and let it mingle with the lights of heav-en. May this "lame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. R. Amen. Excerpt from the English translation of the Roman Missal © 2010, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved
