LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
Peace be with you! Of all of the things the resurrected
Christ could have said, he chose this: Peace be with you!
These calming words lessened the disciples' anxiety and
gave them a wonderful sense of reassurance. Words have
the power to do that. Jesus touches his friends with his
breath and breathes his Spirit upon them. This intimate ges-
ture of peace begins to alleviate the uncertainty and fear
that no doubt consumed their thoughts and hearts. Words
and gestures are so important in doing God's work. Even
the simplest of greetings and actions can profoundly move
people and direct them to God. On this Sunday of Divine
Mercy, we are reminded that God's all-forgiving and merci-
ful love comes to us through the risen Christ. By our words
and actions, may we show that forgiveness and merciful
love to others.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE
GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS
After my mother passed away, my sister and father had a
falling out of sorts. When he moved to be closer to me, she
told me that she didn't ever want to speak to him again, say-
ing, "Even if he is on his death bed, do not call me." My
father was in his late 70's, and the pain he would have felt if
he knew her wishes would have been too much to bear.
Because of this, I made a decision to not tell him. This also
put a strain on my relationship with my sister as I cared for
the one person in this world she seemed to despise the
most.
Of all the gifts God has given us, time and family are at the
top of the list to be cherished. Also, both are finite gifts.
Our family members will not walk in this world forever,
and each day that slips away cannot be restored. Still, we
build up walls of fear, doubt, resentment, anger, and pain,
not allowing ourselves to forgive and be good stewards of
what we have been given.
On Divine Mercy Sunday, God's mercy is overflowing
through all the earth. There is no excuse for you and me to
not be reconciled with God and accept this profound com-
passion. In turn, there is no excuse to not extend that mercy
and reconcile with those who have hurt us.
I always believed I would have a renewed relationship
with my sister when my father's death would come to pass.
Two weeks after he passed, my sister suddenly died as
well. There is no rewind of time. Yes, good stewards, today
is the day! - Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS
HELP! HELP! We are looking to FORM a committee
to run the Gift Shop and weekend weekly Bake Sale after
each mass this coming summer. We require 3 volunteers at
each of our 3 masses, 2 to work the Bake Sale and 1 to
work the Gift Shop. If you are interested in becoming in-
volved, or perhaps your family would like to volunteer at
one weekend mass, please call the office ASAP. We need
to get our new plan in place by the end of May (Memorial
Day weekend.) Our Gift Shop/Bake Sale has an annual
revenue of about $10,000! (thanks to our wonderful vol-
unteers, parishioners and visitors! Call 518668-2046 for
more info. THANK YOU!
A new way to help our Food Pantry… Sacred Heart is
now collecting returnable bottles and cans that have
the .05 deposit on them (water, soda, beer). We will
be returning them to Hannaford (through Clynk it) and
will use the funds to purchase needed items for our
Food Pantry. Easy… Right? So feel free to drop
off your cans and bottles to the Parish Center and Mr.
Joe Datello will be in charge of bagging, tagging and
delivering them. Thank you!
Sacred Heart Catholic Community GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE He has you in mind. Do we think about that much? The
God of the universe has us in mind, individually as persons
and together as one human family. We hear this truth in
today's Gospel story of Thomas. His doubt is likely familiar
to us by now. "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his
hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my
hand into his side, I will not believe."
Jesus is God. He could have risen any way he wanted. He
could have risen perfectly healed, as a further sign of his
power over death and suffering. But when Thomas encoun-
ters him, we see what Jesus chose. "Put your finger here
and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my
side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." In resurrect-
ing his body, Jesus already has Thomas in mind. Jesus re-
tains his wounds for Thomas, for the disciples, and for all
who would doubt the sacrificial power of love. This inten-
tional love of Jesus is echoed by John and his disciples,
who authored this Gospel. "Jesus did many other
signs...these are written that you may come to believe that
Jesus is the Christ...and that through this belief you may
have life in his name."
From its earliest beginnings, the Church knew the power of
sign and story. When they wrote the Gospels, they had us
in mind. We are all Thomas from time to time. We need to
see the mercy of God lived and real in our lives. This can
happen throughout the circumstances of our daily comings
and goings. It can also happen through meditating on the
Scripture, through placing ourselves in the stories and lis-
tening to God's voice speaking. We don't get to see what
the disciples got to see, but we know, through them, that
God always has us in mind. As he reminds the disciples,
"Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
Our “Sisters in Stitches” Ministry meets every Monday afternoon around 2:00. New members or drop in guests are always welcome. Bring your needles (crochet or knitting) and come and join this great, fun ministry.
