Divine Mercy Sunday 2022

1) The Image of Divine Mercy

From thedivinemercy.org In 1931, our Lord appeared to St. Faustina in a vision. She saw Jesus clothed in a white garment with His right hand raised in blessing. His left hand was touching His garment in the area of the Heart, from where two large rays came forth, one red and the other pale. She gazed intently at the Lord in silence, her soul filled with awe, but also with great joy. Jesus said to her:  Paint an image according to the pattern you see, with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You. I promise that the soul that will venerate this image will not perish. I also promise victory over [its] enemies already here on earth, especially at the hour of death. I Myself will defend it as My own glory (Diary, 47, 48). I am offering people a vessel with which they are to keep coming for graces to the fountain of mercy. That vessel is this image with the signature: Jesus, I trust in You (327). I desire that this image be venerated, first in your chapel, and [then] throughout the world (47).  At the request of her spiritual director, St. Faustina asked the Lord about the meaning of the rays in the image. She heard these words in reply:  The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him (299). By means of this image I shall grant many graces to souls. It is to be a reminder of the demands of My mercy, because even the strongest faith is of no avail without works (742).  These words indicate that the Image represents the graces of Divine Mercy poured out upon the world, especially through Baptism and the Eucharist.  Many different versions of this image have been painted, but our Lord made it clear that the painting itself is not what is important. When St. Faustina first saw the original image that was being painted under her direction, she wept in disappointment and complained to Jesus: "Who will paint You as beautiful as You are?" (313).  In answer, she heard these words: "Not in the beauty of the color, nor of the brush lies the greatness of this image, but in My grace" (313).  So, no matter which version of the image we prefer, we can be assured that it is a vehicle of God’s grace if it is revered with trust in His mercy.

2) Festival RAFFLE Tickets are in the Mail

We are currently finalizing plans for “Festival 2022.” Like last year, this year’s “Festival” will be a raffle and food truck-only event (May 20-22, 2022). We are still working out the details for the food trucks and a Night Fire Family Prayer Event on that Friday evening. More information about the weekend will be forthcoming! Moving forward with the raffle portion of the “Festival” is essential for our budget. The “Festival” is a significant annual fundraiser for us. You are receiving this letter because you are a parishioner or a friend of our Parish and have contributed to the Parish or festival in the past. I hope and pray you will consider buying or selling $100 worth of tickets! Your generosity will go a long way to help our amazing Parish to continue doing everything it does. PLUS, you might be lucky enough to win one of the raffle prizes! Last year, we netted $145,000 from the raffle and proceeds from the food trucks. I am grateful for your amazing generosity in what you did to make “Festival” 2021 a fantastic success! As an incentive for you to buy (or sell) lots of tickets and do so early, our Early Bird Drawing will be the same as last year. Here are the details you need to know about the Early Bird Drawing: If you are under 65, for every $100 worth of tickets you return, you earn ONE chance at the Early Bird or the “Festival” 100% Drawings. If you are 65 or older, you earn ONE chance for every $50 worth of tickets you return. Thus, if you are under 65 and return $100 worth of raffle tickets, you can turn in 1 - 100% tickets. If you are 65 or older, turning in $100 worth of raffle tickets allows you to turn in 2 – 100% tickets. The 100% tickets are PRE-PRINTED on the enclosed YELLOW sheet. To be eligible for the Early Bird Drawing, you need to return your raffle and applicable 100% tickets by 1 PM on Sunday, May 8, 2022. Two (2) lucky winners will be drawn on May 9, 2022, from that pool of 100% tickets, and each will win $1,500! You can continue to turn in your raffle and applicable 100% tickets until the drawing on May 22, 2022. At that time, we will draw five (5) of the 100% tickets from the entire pool of tickets, and each will win $500. I also wanted to explain that the senior designation is based on the date of birth we have in our database for the oldest member of your household. So, if the oldest person in your home is 65 or older, you qualify for the senior designation, and the word “SENIOR” will be printed at the top of each sheet of raffle tickets sent to you. Raffle tickets can be dropped off at the Parish Center (through the mail slot in the door), in the Sunday collection boxes, or mailed to us using the business reply envelope. Regarding the business reply envelope, I suggest that the business reply envelope NOT be used after May 8; instead, do everything you can to drop your envelopes off in person or use first-class mail after May 8. And please read through the enclosed checklist to help make sure your tickets can be processed quickly and accurately. Please contact the Parish Center (586.777.3670) or visit tickets.stjoan.church if you need additional tickets.   Please know of my gratitude for your generosity! Let’s make “Festival” 2022 even more successful than “Festival” 2021. Msgr. Mike

3) IMPORTANT: Let Michigan Kids Learn Petition Drive NEXT WEEKEND

The Let MI Kids Learn petition drive is underway to promote educational justice legislation. Michigan children from low-income families would qualify for “Student Opportunity Scholarships” toward their out-of-pocket educational costs at public or nonpublic schools for tutoring, school supplies, computers, and tuition among other expenses. Donors to scholarship organizations would receive a state tax credit.  Low-income parishioners and members of our community would benefit from this initiated legislation, regardless of where they send their children to school.  The petitions would place this proposal before the legislature, and, if approved, would not require the governor’s signature to become law. As this is a nonpartisan effort, Catholic parishes and schools are allowed to circulate petitions. The Catholic Bishops of Michigan support this effort.  Please prayerfully consider signing the two required petitions to create the scholarship program and tax credits to improve the education of Michigan’s school children. LEARN MORE at letmikidslearn.com We will be collecting signatures NEXT WEEKEND.

9) This Sunday's Readings - April 24, 2022 - Divine Mercy Sunday

Readings for Divine Mercy Sunday (2nd Sunday of Easter)

10) Sunday Reflections by Jeff Cavins

Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy) Jeff Cavins offers insights on the readings for the Second Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday: First Reading: Acts 5:12-16 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24 Second Reading: Revelation 1:9-11A, 12-13, 17-19 Gospel: John 20:19-31

11) Bishop Barron's Reflection for Divine Mercy Sunday

Friends, Revelation comes from the Latin “Revelatio,” which in turn translates the Greek “Apokalypsis”—which means, literally, “unveiling.” This final book of the Bible, which has fascinated Christians and non-Christians for two thousand years, is not primarily about the end of the physical world; rather, it is meant to unveil something that every generation of Christians needs to see—namely, a new world that God wants to be born out of the ruins of the old.

12) Grow+Go for Divine Mercy Sunday

Grow+Go, content is designed to help you understand what it means to be an evangelizing disciple of Christ. Using the Sunday Scriptures as the basis for reflection, Grow+Go offers insight into how we can all more fully GROW as disciples and then GO evangelize, fulfilling Christ's Great Commission to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19) The concept behind the weekly series is to make discipleship and evangelization simple, concrete, and relatable.

14) This Week's Edition of TALLer Tales

Sometimes it’s the Smallest Thing: Anyone who has ever attended an Easter Vigil knows it truly is an amazing and beautiful liturgy. But, unfortunately, many people don’t attend the Vigil only because they hear it’s two to three hours, starts around 8 PM or later, is filled with all “those readings,” has all that incense, etc. Trust me, so much happens at the Vigil that you’d never know you were in Church for two to three hours!   I recently saw a cartoon floating around where the lector just finished saying, “The Word of the Lord” after one of the Easter Vigil Readings. Then there is a picture of many people, young and old, all having something to say. The list went like this: “Thanks be to God.” I’ve lost count. Was that the 21st or 22nd reading?” “Is it Easter yet?” “Is it July yet?” “You should have brought one of those airline neck pillows.” “Will there be an intermission?”   The Easter Vigil Mass is also complicated because of all the different parts of the liturgy. Even with all the practicing and mental walk-throughs we might do, there is ALWAYS something that goes wrong or that you miss.   Father Andrew and I agreed to meet in Church at 6 PM last Saturday to finish setting up. One of the last items we talked about was the water for the font and the Baptisms. Given that we were going to fill all the fonts again with Holy Water after Mass, the fact we had two baptisms and the Sprinkling Rite, we needed plenty of water in the font to be blessed. But Father Andrew was good enough to remember that we better have warm water ready for the two school kids who would be baptized. Father Andrew also took into consideration that since the baptisms were at the halfway point of the liturgy, he could prep some hot water in a separate pitcher, knowing that it would be cooled off by the time we got to the baptisms; this way, the water used would not be really cold!   Right after the homily last Saturday, I moved to the baptismal font for the blessing of water. I remember freezing for a moment, trying to figure out what to do. The font was filled with water, but I also had the pitcher Father Andrew prepared. I couldn’t figure out how to juggle my book with the prayers and the extra pitcher of water, so I decided that I would pour the warm water into the font … this way, ALL of the water would be blessed. No one would notice, so I thought!   The two who were baptized at the Easter Vigil were two of our school children. It was SO CUTE to see how excited Zoey (5th Grade) and Alec (3rd Grade) were that night. At our practice on Good Friday night, Alec asked what he was supposed to do at School Masses when they returned from Easter Break. He wanted to know whether he would still come up for a blessing or could he receive communion. “NO, Alec,” I said, “you get to come up and receive communion at all masses after today.” The smile on his face was precious!   At our Easter Vigil Reception, I asked Zoey what she liked best about the Easter Vigil. She rattled off a bunch of things; it was clear she was truly clued in and attentive to the various parts of the liturgy. However, after she cheerfully shared her list with me, she abruptly paused; she was trying to collect her thoughts or about to make a significant point. “I have ONE question,” she enthusiastically started. “Did the water HAVE TO BE that cold?” Oops, I guess someone noticed!   Easter THANKS! As you might imagine, a ton of work goes on behind the scenes to make our Holy Week liturgies so beautiful and prayerful. There are many people to thank, and I would like to express my gratitude to them for their hard work and devotion.   Thanks go to Sandy and Pat Markielewicz for all the Palm Sunday decorations. The beautiful woven palm creations helped set the tone and helped our entry into Holy Week.   Thanks to Father Rich, Dina Ciaffone, Mary Garofalo, Anne Meliese, Ilona Higgins, Pat and Sandy Markielewicz, Abbey Markielewicz, Zach Markielewicz, Vern David, Greg Ruvolo, and Pete Ciaravino, who helped with all the decorations and getting everything into its proper place. Thanks to Mary Garofalo, who put together the Easter Vigil Reception.   Thanks to Catherine Thomas, our Director of Music, the choir, instrumentalists, and cantors. The Holy Week liturgies require lots of coordination AND expertise. I’m grateful to Catherine for all of her work in putting all of the music parts of the mass together. Thanks to Eleonore Ellero, who helped cover the 6 and 8 AM masses on Easter Sunday morning. The music was AWESOME all week! Thanks also to our Lectors and God’s Doorkeepers.    Thanks to Kristine Hass, who has been the producer and real power behind all the streaming that takes place, along with all the slides with the lyrics and text of the mass parts that were up on the screen or broadcasted online. Getting all of this ready is no easy task!   Thanks to our RCIA team led by Patty Chase and Kristine Hass, along with Lu Kempski and Josie Strasz. These wonderful and generous people serve as catechists and mentors to those preparing to receive the sacraments at Easter. I’m grateful we have an outstanding team that walks with our candidates throughout the year.   Then CONGRATULATIONS go to Zoey Gosse and Alex Rusak, who were baptized; to Jenn Corrado, who was received into the Catholic Church; and to Tina Aguirre, Lauren Delitka, Thomas Lewins, Cynthia Rusak, and Cameron Walker, who completed their Christian initiation with the celebration of Confirmation. In addition, the RCIA Class of 2022 had two other members who will be baptized in the weeks ahead. So, please keep Patricia Lopez and Chelsea Pranger in your prayers as they continue their preparation for the celebration of Baptism.   The crowds, both in-person and online, were IMPRESSIVE. Our masses were filled. It was SO GREAT to see so many people back in Church. Our online viewership was also impressive. Considering we had packed masses and about 1,200 unique views online for the Easter Masses, we had numbers unlike we’ve seen for many years! Then add a good crowd for Holy Thursday Evening (with 290 unique views online) and a packed Church for Good Friday (with 385 unique views online).   Our liturgies were beautiful, prayerful, and indeed honored Christ as we celebrated the great mysteries of His death and resurrection. God is good!

Enjoy the week. Know of my prayers.   In Christ,

15) Tire Tracks in the d’Arc

Seeking Signs: The people of God are always looking for signs. And Jesus is always providing them. But sometimes, maybe they are so squarely in front of us that we look right past them. A day or two before Palm Sunday I came down with a stinking head cold. Monsignor Mike kindly took the mass for me on the Friday morning and on Saturday morning I was up and about and intending to get going again. I really wasn't feeling well, but was trying to convince myself otherwise. It was another busy weekend, with a funeral in the morning, followed by confessions and a baptism and then the Palm Sunday masses.  I went around to the Parish Center to print something and happened to arrive at the door at the same time as Fr. Fox. I opened the door and was in the middle of telling Fr. Fox that it was going to be a busy “Ash Wednesday,” when Msgr. appeared from inside of the door. Msgr said something to Fr. Fox and then said, “and he’s going home,’ pointing to me. I said, “I needed to look someone in the eye and have them tell me that.” So I went home, but I spent the next hour and a half arguing with myself, trying to persuade myself that maybe I’d be okay, maybe I feel better now. Then I finally saw the sign. It’s not normal to be debating this with myself at 10:30 on a Saturday morning, while lying face down, buried in a blanket on the floor of my living room, with another blanket on top. Realizing this might be my sign, I finally had my answer.  I wasn’t feeling too much better on Sunday, a little, but I made it over to set-up for the 8am mass, and made it through the day.  Sunday afternoon, I still wasn't feeling good but about 6pm I was heating-up some chicken soup in the microwave when I thought I was hearing the ice-cream truck. “Funny,” I thought, “it’s still not yet mid-April, but okay.” I stopped the microwave to listen and it there was silence. I thought perhaps I was hallucinating, maybe a result of the Mucinex I took for my cold! I started the microwave again, but how I could hear a ship klaxon! “Okay, I really need to read the instructions on this drug better!” Finally, I looked out the window and there was a car backing-up my driveway. It was my friend Fr. Chris and his brother Nick, who lives in DC, but was in town for a while with his new Tesla and was entertaining me with its fancy sound-effects! I went outside and he said, “Get in!” I said, “I really don’t want to, I’m not feeling great.”…. “Get in!!” “Okay….” I relented. And before I knew it we were on I-94, with the door of my house still open! I’d never ridden in a Tesla before, but it seemed pretty complicated for a car that’s supposed to drive itself. Fr. Chris kept asking Nick, “Is it driving, or am I?” I pointed out that this was not a comforting thing to hear being asked while you’re being driven by someone... or something. Who’s on first? But I distracted myself with the huge control screen on the dash, since there are no buttons to press anywhere else whatsoever. Before I knew it, I was watching the rear facing cameras as we were driving away from what I was seeing, and the screen showed we were driving Santa’s sled, as Jingle Bell rock rang out! All of which made me wonder if, in fact, it really was the Mucinex. All I know is that I had been heating-up chicken soup and then I was kidnapped by a fully-autonomous artificial-intelligence version of Santa’s sled.  On returning to the rectory driveway, I was treated to a light-show as the car played a symphony while flashing all its lights and opening and closing its windows and tailgate. Finally, most bizarrely to me, I “drove” the Tesla up my driveway while standing next to it…. Yes, there's an app for that! The world’s biggest remote control car! Nick then took the car to the parking lot and had it chase him around, as he tried to run away from it. I guess we have not advanced much since the days of “Herbie Goes Bananas!” My Jeep thinks I live at Kroger (see earlier Tire Tracks!) but the Tesla not only knows how to find you, but knows how to run you over too! What a useful feature...or maybe that’s just a sign of the Mucinex speaking. The Sign Of The Cross: Thomas was seeking a sign that the Lord was truly raised from the dead. I wonder how willing we would be to believe the accounts of the other disciples. Not only had Thomas not been present in the Upper Room, but none of the disciples had the benefit of having read the Gospels. None of them had the testimony of 2,000 years of the Saints to rely on. But there can be no doubt that the sign of the cross—not the one we make to begin and end mass— but the sign of what Jesus did in willingly accepting death, and then being raised to new life, is a sign of the inexhaustible love that God has for us.  The cross does not end for us at Easter. The cross is inseparable from the Christian life. But hopefully, seeing for ourselves—reading the scriptures, hearing them read at mass, receiving forgiveness and grace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, receiving Jesus’ Body and Blood in the Eucharist, growing in our relationship with the Lord—all of this will help us to grow in willingness to pick-up our share of the cross in gratitude for all we have been given. May this Easter Season be truly transformative for us. Tape Our Hands, Jesus: I mentioned on Good Friday that my 3 ½ year-old Goddaughter sent me a text on Tuesday. She’d colored in a cut-out of Jesus and another figure on Palm Sunday.

She told her mom, “Mom, this is me… and this is Jesus. Tape our hands because we’re holding hands. I’m going to help him with the cross.”  That’s the sign Jesus is seeking for from us. Are you as willing as this to help Him with the cross?

You are in my prayers this week. Fr. Andrew adawson@sjascs.org

17) Words on the Word: April 24, 2022 - No Pain, No Gain Imagine being a 5-year-old child and falling off your bicycle, but not needing to go crying to your mom for a Band-Aid.   Or knowing that you have sinus problems, but never feeling the intense pressure of a headache.   Or accidentally bumping into a hot stovetop, but not feeling the excruciating pain of a burn.   A recent story out of France reported on the rare condition, and noted the reality it brings with it:   “A life without pain might sound like a dream come true but the reality is more like a nightmare,” the story said. “There are only a few thousand known cases of the condition worldwide. The low number is believed to be partly due to sufferers often not living into adulthood” since “pain plays a major physiological role in protecting us from the dangers of our environment.”   Wow. Now that is unusual.   Alas, the fact is that all of us live with pain of various kinds – emotional, spiritual, physical. And it’s equally true that the pain can – and usually should – be a trigger to take some kind of action.   Certainly, there were plenty of people in pain in the early days of Christianity; we hear such an account in today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles.   “Thus they even carried the sick out into the street and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them,” the reading says. “A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.”   The discomfort of pain is all too real. We can take comfort in knowing, though, that the healing power of God is even more real.   © 2022, Words on the Word
