Second Sunday of Easter “Divine Mercy Sunday”
April 3, 2016
Pastor’s Corner
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY is another name or a title given by the Holy See
to the Second Sunday of Easter. This was first approved by the Holy See in 1995 for
the use of the Church in Poland. Subsequently, upon request, the Church in Russia and
the Church in the Philippines received a similar provision. Then, acceding to the wishes of the Christian faithful from all over the world, on April 30, 2000, Pope St. John
Paul II, declared that this “Second Sunday of Easter…” from now on throughout the
Church will also be called “Divine Mercy Sunday.” The Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in its decree issued on May 5, 2000
formalized this declaration and by its inclusion in the Roman Missal made it binding
throughout the universal Church.
What was Pope St. John Paul II’s and the Congregation’s reason for acceding to the wishes of the faithful and
giving the Second Sunday of Easter an addition designation “Divine Mercy Sunday?” The Christian faithful, according to
the decree, wished to praise the “merciful and gracious Lord (Ps.111:4), who, out of great love with which He loved us
(Eph.2:4) and out of unspeakable goodness, gave us His Only-begotten Son as our Redeemer, so that through the Death and
Resurrection of this Son He might open the way to eternal life for the human race, and that the adopted children who receive
His mercy within His temple might lift up His praise to the ends of the earth.” They also wished to “praise that Divine Mercy
in divine worship, particularly in the celebration of the Paschal Mystery, in which God’s loving kindness especially shines
forth.” By giving this additional designation to the last day of the Octave of Easter, the Pope St. John Paul II and the Congregation for the Divine Worship fulfilled the wishes of the Christian faithful, while at the same time safeguarding the true meaning
and import of Easter.
The original designation, Second Sunday of Easter, continues to proclaim, with all its splendor the Paschal Mystery of
Christ’s dying and rising, His victory over sin and death, and His gift of new and everlasting life. The added designation, Divine Mercy Sunday, points to the inscrutable mystery of God, the mystery of Divine Mercy. It unveils the truth that “the Paschal Mystery is the culmination of this revealing and effecting of Divine Mercy, and that the paschal Christ is the definitive incarnation of Mercy, its living sign….and its inexhaustible source” (John Paul II, Dives in Misericordia, 8,7).
Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, in his celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday on April 23, 2006, attested, not only to the
key significance of this Sunday’s celebration, but also to the unity of the Second Sunday of Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday
when he said: “On this Second Sunday of Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday, may God’s blessing of reconciliation and peace be
with you all.” Summarizing Pope St. John Paul II’s understanding of the “mystery of God’s merciful love,” which was at the
“center of his Pontificate” and, in some way “summed up his Magisterium,” Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI underscored the importance of this message with unmistakable clarity: “the cult of Divine Mercy is not a secondary devotion but an integral dimension of a Christian’s faith and prayer.” (Marians of the Immaculate Conception 2007) not a secondary devotion but an
integral dimension of a Christian’s faith and prayer.” (Marians of the Immaculate Conception 2007)
*********************
PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY
In a decree dated August 3, 2002, the Apostolic Penitentiary Announced that in order “to ensure that the faithful would
observe this day (Divine Mercy Sunday) with intense devotion, the Supreme Pontiff himself established that this Sunday be enriched by a plenary indulgence…so that the faithful might receive in great abundance the gift of consolation of the Holy Spirit.
In this way, they can foster a growing love for God and for their neighbor, and after they have obtained God’s pardon, they in
turn might be persuaded to show a prompt pardon to their brothers and sisters.”
The plenary indulgence is granted under the usual conditions: 1.) sacramental confession; 2.)Eucharistic Communion; 3.) Prayer for the intentions of Supreme Pontiff, to the faithful who, on the Second Sunday of Easter or Divine Mercy
Sunday, in any church or chapel, in a spirit that is completely detached from the affection for a sin, even a venial sin, take part
in the prayers and devotions held in honor of Divine Mercy, or who, in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament exposed or reserved in the tabernacle, recite the Our Father and the Creed, adding a devout prayer to the merciful Lord Jesus (e.g. Merciful
Jesus, I trust in you!). (USCCB Committee or the Liturgy)

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations:
Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like
your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12,
13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests, deacons and religious should result in a
holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard
among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

You taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father,
and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us
your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being
enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking
happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his
betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you
spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the
world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be
clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in
ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved,
and forgiven by God. Send Your Spirit And Consecrate Every One Of Us With Its
Anointing. So The Jubilee of Mercy May Be A Year Of Grace From The Lord.
And Your Church.
With Renewed Enthusiasm, May We Bring Your Good News To The Poor. Proclaim Liberty To Captives And The Oppressed, And Restore Sight To The Blind.
We Ask This Through The Intercession Of Mary, o Mercy, and You who lives
and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever Amen.
“A Time to Heal, to Help, to Forgive."
On a Sad Note: Former parishioner Bob Roy, 86 passed away from natural causes on March 18, 2016. There were no local services. Bob was laid to rest with his
wife in Massachusetts. Bob and his wife were parishioners when Fr. Don Coleman was pastor here. Their picture is seen in one of the older directories. They
had 2 children, Kathy and Tim. Bob was a member of the Knights of Columbus
(4th. Degree Knight). After retiring, Bob volunteered his time tirelessly to
St. Stephen, the church he loved. Please keep Bob & Helen in your prayers.

2°Domingo de Pascua ~ “Domingo de la Divina Misericordia”
Abril 3, 2016
Esquina del Pastor
Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
Domingo de la Divina Misericordia es otro nombre o un título dado por
la Santa Sede al segundo domingo de Pascua. Esto fue aprobado por primera vez
por la Santa Sede en 1995 para el uso de la Iglesia en Polonia. Posteriormente, a
petición, la Iglesia en Rusia y la Iglesia en Filipinas recibieron una disposición
similar. A continuación, accediendo a los deseos de los fieles de todo el mundo,
el 30 de abril de 2000, el Papa San Juan Pablo II, declaró que este 'Segundo Domingo de Pascua ...' de ahora en adelante en toda la Iglesia también será
llamado 'Domingo de la Misericordia.' La Sagrada Congregación para el Culto
Divino y la Disciplina de los Sacramentos en su decreto emitido el 5 de mayo el
año 2000 formalizó esta declaración y por su inclusión en el Misal Romano hizo
vinculante en toda la Iglesia universal.
Que era la razón de Papa San Juan Pablo II y la Congregación para
adherirse a los deseos de los fieles y dando al segundo domingo de Pascua y una designación de adición 'Domingo de la
Misericordia?' Los fieles Cristianos, de acuerdo con el decreto, deseaban alabar al ' compasivo y clemente Señor (Ps.111 4),
que, por el gran amor con que Él nos Amo (Ef 2:4) y fuera de la bondad inefable, nos dio a su Hijo unigénito como nuestro Redentor, de manera que a través de la Muerte y la Resurrección de este Hijo Él Se podría abrir el camino a la vida eterna para
la raza humana, y que los niños adoptados que reciben su misericordia dentro de su templo podría levantar su alabanza hasta
los confines de la tierra '. También deseaban' También deseaban alabar Divina Misericordia en el culto partiularmente sobre
todo en la celebración del misterio pascual, en el que la ternura y amore de Dios resplandece en especial. 'Al dar a esta designación adicional para el último día de la Octava de Pascua, el Papa San Juan Pablo II y la Congregación para el Culto Divino
cumplieron los deseos de los fieles cristianos, mientras que al mismo tiempo protejan el verdadero significado e importancia de
Pascua.
La designación original, Segundo Domingo de Pascua, sigue proclamando, con todo su esplendor el Misterio Pascual de
muerte de Cristo y en aumento, Su victoria sobre el pecado y la muerte, y Su regalo de la vida nueva y eterna. La designación
añadido, Domingo de la Misericordia, apunta a la inescrutable misterio de Dios, el misterio de la Divina Misericordia. Se da a
conocer la verdad de que 'el Misterio Pascual es la culminación de esta revelación y actuación de la Divina Misericordia, y que
el Cristo pascual es la encarnación definitiva de la misericordia, su signo vivo ... y su fuente inagotable' (Juan Pablo II, Dives in
Misericordia, 8,7).
Papa emérito, Benedicto XVI, en su celebración del Domingo de la Misericordia el 23 de abril de 2006, atestigua, no
sólo a la importancia fundamental de la celebración de este domingo, pero también a la unidad del Segundo Domingo de Pascua
y Domingo de la Misericordia cuando dijo 'en este segundo domingo de Pascua y Domingo de la Misericordia, la bendición de
la reconciliación y la paz de Dios sea con todos vosotros.' Resumen de Santo Juan Pablo II de entender el "misterio del amor
misericordioso de Dios," que estaba en el "centro de su pontificado" y, de alguna manera "resume su magisterio," el Papa emérito, Benedicto XVI subrayó la importancia de este mensaje con claridad inconfundible: "el culto de la divina misericordia no es
una devoción secundaria sino una dimensión integral de la fe y oración de el cristiano."(Marianos de la Inmaculada Concepción
2007)
*********************
INDULGENCIA PLENARIA POR EL DOMINGO DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA
En un decreto de fecha 03 de agosto de 2002, la Penitenciaría Apostólica anunció que en orden "para asegurarse de que
los fieles serían observar este día (Domingo de la Divina Misericordia) con intensa devoción, el Sumo Pontífice se estableció
que este domingo se enriquece con una indulgencia plenaria... para que los fieles pudieran recibir en gran abundancia el don de
la consolación del Espíritu Santo. De esta manera, puede fomentar un creciente amor por Dios y su prójimo, y después de haber obtenido perdón de Dios, a su vez podrían ser persuadidos para mostrar un pronto perdón a sus hermanos y hermanas.”
Se concede la indulgencia plenaria bajo las condiciones habituales: 1.) La confesión sacramental; Comunión
Eucarística 2.); 3.) Oración por las intenciones del Sumo Pontífice, a los fieles que, en el segundo domingo de Pascua o
el domingo en cualquier iglesia o capilla, en un espíritu que está totalmente separado del afecto por el pecado, incluso pecado
venial, tomar parte en las oraciones y devociones en honor de el Domingos de la Divina mMisericordia, o que, en presencia del
Santísimo Sacramento expuesto o reservado en el tabernáculo, recitar el Padre nuestro y el credo, añadiendo una oración devota
al Señor Jesús misericordioso (por ejemplo, Jesús misericordioso, confío en ti!). (USCCBComité de la Conferencia Episcopal o la liturgia)

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais extranjero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las almas de tus
sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones: Jesús de la coseha, mira
con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego Bendito sea el Señor, porque él ha escuchado el sonido de mi escrito: "el Señor es mi fortaleza y mi escudo. En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante y con mi hijo le doy fuerza mi escudo . En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda;
a continuación, mi corazón exultante, y con mi canción le doy gracias. Salmo 28:6 con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón semejante al tuyo.
María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

Usted, esta invitado a pasar un tiempo con Jesús,
‘Con nuestros ojos vemos la Sagrada Hostia,

Oración para el Año de la Misericordia
Señor Jesucristo,
Tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve
también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la
salvación.
Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la
esclavitud del dinero; a la adúltera y a la Magdalena del
buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura;
hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido.
Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a
la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!
Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo,
la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso.
Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad
para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado,
amado y perdonado por Dios.
Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo
de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con
renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los ciegos.
Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia,
a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los
siglos. Amén.
“Un tiempo para Sanar, para Ayudar, para Perdonar"
