Growing Community Tree and Plant Sale! Next Saturday morning April 29 from 9 AM to Noon, St. Hughʹs will have a Tree and Plant sale. The Religious Education chil-dren have been given seeds to start up the plants and these and plants will be available to buy outside the School near the tots playground. There will be vegetables, flowers and herbs. If you have plants from your garden-perhaps those hostas have taken over too much of the yard-or you have some houseplant cuttings that others might like, please bring them, and share. In addition, this year we have gotten trees from the Arbor Day Foundation. The Religious Education kids brought in gallon milk jugs, we cut them open, filled them with compost-ed mulch and planted bare-root trees. They are setting their roots and will be ready for planting in your yard. We have 50 white dogwood and 50 redbud trees waiting for you. Please help us at St. Hughʹs grow in community and grow plants as we bring a bit more green and beauty to Beautiful Greenbelt.
Mass and sympathy cards for our former pastor, Fr. Thomas Crowley, can be sent to his sister, Mrs. Kay Culnane, 85 Main Street, Susquehanna, PA, 18847.
From the Pastor
Today, the Octave of Easter, we conclude the eight-day celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection that began on Easter Sunday. These eight days in effect constitute one great Sunday of spiritual joy and festivity.
St. John Paul II modified the liturgical calendar during his pontificate so that this Sunday would henceforth be known as Divine Mercy Sunday. He did this in response to an ever-growing devotion to God’s Divine Mercy that is rooted in the private revelations of our Lord to St. Faustina Kowalska.
Faustina Helena Kowalska was born in the village of Glogowiec west of Lodz, Poland, on August 25, 1905. She was the third of ten children. When she was almost twenty, she entered the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy, whose members devote themselves to the care and education of troubled young women She received her religious habit under the name Sister Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
In the 1930s, Faustina received from the Lord a message of mercy that she was told to spread throughout the world. She was asked to become the apostle and secretary of Godʹs mercy, a model of how to be merciful to others, and an instrument for reemphasizing Godʹs plan of mercy for the world.
At our Lord’s request, she willingly offered her personal sufferings in union with Him to atone for the sins of others; in her daily life she was to become a doer of mercy, bringing joy and peace to others; and by writing about Godʹs mercy, she was to encourage others to trust in Him and thus prepare the world for His coming again.
For four years she recorded divine revelations and mystical experiences, together with her own inmost thoughts, insights, and prayers. The result is a book of some 600 printed pages that, in simple language, re-peats and clarifies the gospel story of Godʹs love for His people, emphasizing, above all, the need to trust in His loving action in all the aspects of our lives. It also reveals an extraordinary example of how to respond to Godʹs mercy and manifest it to others.
She wrote and suffered in secret, with only her spiritual director and some of her superiors aware that any-thing special was taking place in her life. After her death from tuberculosis in 1938, even her closest associates were amazed as they began to discover what great sufferings and deep mystical experiences had been given to this sister of theirs, who had always been so cheerful and humble. She had taken deeply into her heart Godʹs gospel command to “be merciful even as your heavenly Father is merciful” as well as her confessorʹs directive that she should act in such a way that everyone who came in contact with her would go away joyful.
The message of mercy that Saint Faustina received is spreading throughout the world. She was canonized by the Church on April 30, 2000, and her diary, Divine Mercy in My Soul, has become the handbook for devotion to The Divine Mercy.
In a prophetic statement she wrote in her diary:
I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin. O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you of Godʹs goodness (Diary 281).
May the Lord and Our Lady help us to respond to receive God’s mercy through an ever more thorough conversion to Christ and to show God’s mercy to the people he has placed in our lives.
Yours in Christ,
Father Walter
