Stewardship Thoughts��

Today’s First Reading from the Acts of the Apostles details how the early community� of believers was of one heart and mind, portioning all possessions with no claim of ownership over them. All goods were held in common and allocated according to need. In St. John’s First Letter and Gospel, the evangelist teaches us about strength of faith in Christ, which guides us to love God and to answer His commission to send disciples forth to conquer the world. We profess in awe, along with St. Thomas,� My Lord and my God!� As faithful stewards, these passages inspire us to share our many blessings with our parish, the Archdiocese, the worldwide Church, and our neighbors in great need. Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with your family and visit the Divine Mercy Center in Clinton Township.�

Cathedral Cultural Series |�

The Cathedral Cultural Series presents “The Tallis Scholars: War and Peace,” England’s world�renowned early music choir commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit next Saturday, April 14.�

The music of Josquin, Guerrero, Pärt, Mouton, Lobo, Victoria, Tavener, and Palestrina loosely follows the form of the Mass, honoring all who passed in the First World War. A special veterans’ commemoration will take place just before the program.�

Sacred music is an important part of the New Evangelization. Your gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal fund music ministries throughout the Archdiocese, including the Cathedral Cultural Series and the Archdiocesan Chorus.�

Tickets for the performance, which begins at 8 p.m., are $30.�

For more information about this and other CSA�funded ministries, programs, and services, please go to�www.aod.org.�

GOSPEL MEDITATION � ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE�April 8, 2018 2nd Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday�

�

Should we be a little easier on Thomas? The last few days have been a whirlwind. On Thursday, a Passover celebration went horribly awry as Jesus was betrayed and taken into custody for unstated crimes. Less than 24 hours later, the simple arrest has turned into a death sentence to be carried out that very afternoon. Most of the disciples fled, including Thomas. He would have heard of the events of Good Friday secondhand, in shock over the death of his Lord and Master. Then Sunday morning arrives with joy from a few disciples�Jesus is risen! But there is no persistent sight of him, only Mary Magdalene's quick moment in the garden and an empty tomb. Another day passes. The Apostles are gathered that Monday night, but Thomas is absent. He returns to a jubilant report of the risen Lord. Again, Thomas has seen nothing.�

�

The experience must have been surreal. Did Jesus really appear raised from the dead? Did he really suffer and die? Has all of this been some strange hoax? Desperate for an answer, Thomas insists, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."��

�

After his resurrection, Jesus' body��mangled and bloody from the crucifixion��is restored. Did it need the scars? A perfected body would have taught us one lesson: everything is renewed as it once was, the past erased. Jesus chooses another lesson, however. He retains his scars that we might know him. In the whirlwind of our lives, we make our own mistakes, our own betrayals and compromises. In the resurrected Jesus, we see a God who does not forget his own sorrow. We are invited to meet him��wound for wound��and place our hand on his own nail�scarred palm, the eternal sign of his everlasting mercy.�

In Honor of Divine Mercy Sunday��

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy will be led by��

Lynn Wittla at noon this Sunday, April 8th��

in the St. Mary Magdalen Daily Mass Chapel��

All Welcome�

PRAYING THE DIVINE MERCY CHAPLET�

Begin with the Our Father, Hail Mary, and the Apostles Creed. Using regular rosary beads, work your way around the five decades with the prayers below.��

On the standalone beads, pray: "Eternal Father, I offer you the body, 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 decade beads, pray: "For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."�

At the end, pray the following three times: "Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world."�It is typical to conclude the Divine Mercy Chaplet with the words: "Jesus, I trust in you."�
