Today bring to Me all mankind, especially all sinners, and immerse them in the ocean of My mercy.
Most Merciful Jesus, whose very nature it is to have compassion on us and to forgive us, do not look upon our sins but upon our trust which we place in Your infinite goodness. Receive us all into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart, and never let us escape from it. We beg this of You by Your love which unites You to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon all mankind and especially upon poor sinners, all enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. For the sake of His sorrowful Passion show us Your mercy, that we may praise the omnipotence of Your mercy for ever and ever. Amen.
We have asked parishioners to share their love of Divine Mercy with you! This is from Hugh.
"I first heard about St. Faustina 30 years ago, but I did not truly understand her mission or works. Last Fathers’ Day my wife gave me the Diary of St. Faustina from which I read daily (6 pages or so). Her diary was composed in the 1930s and is more contemporary than other saints’ writings. Her words have greatly affected me to the point of now having sought and chosen my own spiritual director. My life is changing for the better due to her shared life experiences, and I can now more personally love St. Faustina for the impact she has had on my life after reading her diary. The novena we pray was given to her by Jesus and appears in her diary."

Since it is Good Friday...
We can complain about the culture, but we should also take heart when the culture gets it right! Bruce Springsteen, a famous rocker, has become much more outspoken about his faith in recent years. Here is a lovely song, "Jesus was an Only Son," that he wrote about Good Friday, the Garden of Gethsemane and the importance of the choices we make. This is worth sharing!Fr. John
