From our Associate Pastor:
According to a Jewish legend, when God was about to create man, he consulted the angels about his throne: “Create him not,” said the Angel of Justice, “For he will commit all kinds of wickedness against his fellowmen, he will be bad, cruel, dishonest and unrighteous. The Angel of Truth said, “Create him not, for he will be false and deceitful towards his brothers and sisters and even to you.” “Create him not,” said the Angel of Holiness, “He will follow that which is impure in your sight and dishonor you to your face.” Then stepped forward the Angel of Mercy and said, “Our Heavenly Father, create him, for he sins, turns from the path of right, truth and holiness, I’ll take him tenderly by the hand and speak loving words to him and then lead him back to you,” and God indeed created man following the counsel of the Angel of Mercy.
“We are perfect together with our imperfections”, said by Mathew Kelly. We do not become perfect if we try to hide our imperfections and it’s absolutely impossible hiding anything from God. As Psalmist (139) says, “Where can I go from your Spirit? If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” There is much more Psalm 139 speaks with regarding, hiding ourselves from the sight of God. Please invest sometime on it. God knows who we are. Let us acknowledge that through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. That’s a great opportunity for us to cleanse our souls and become worthy for the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord. We will have the Penance Service this Sunday, 24 at 1:00 pm in our church and next Sunday at St. John’s Daylight for three parishes: Good Shepherd, St. John’s Daylight and ours. Apart from that, you will have opportunity for individual confessions at our church on April 15 from 6-8:00 pm and April 17 from 7:15-9:15 pm. Please make use of this opportunity.
Let us also continue to pray for the “Elect.” Catechumens become “Elect” after the Rite of Election which they had last Sunday at Precious Blood, Jasper. Coming three Sundays, we will have the Rite of Scrutinies. It is mainly for the “Elect” but faithful are encouraged to join in the scrutinies to benefit from them. We are all in need of conversion throughout our lives, so we join with the “Elect” in scrutinizing our lives and pray for the grace to overcome the power of sin and darkness by self-searching and repentance. Our God is rich in forgiveness and mercy.
God bless,
Fr. Sudhakar

The Divine Mercy Chaplet:
In reparation for the Catholic Church in light of recent reports of misconduct.
In prayerful response to the recent reports of misconduct by members of the clergy in the Church in the United States, we will be praying the Divine Mercy chaplet 10 minutes before our weekend Masses for the weeks to come. The chaplet was given to St. Faustina Kowalska in Poland in the 1930's through revelations of Jesus. The chaplet is prayed using a rosary and is easy to learn. Prayer aids will be in the missalettes. In the devotion, we pray for God's mercy for ourselves and the needs within the Church as well. Please do join us as we pray.

Did You Know?
Lent is the 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday as a period of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. Sundays are not included in the 40 day count. So today, while the season of Lent (Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday) is technically 44 days, the number of days for penance and fasting before Easter is still 40: 44 days minus 6 Sundays equals 38, plus Good Friday and Holy Saturday equals 40.
