Immaculate Conception Church
Pro-Life Corner
On this Divine Mercy Sunday we are presented with the endless mercy of Christ and
His fervent desire that we accept His offer
of mercy and forgiveness. Mercy is not to
be confused with presumption or permission to sin. In giving us commandments on
how we should live, God shows His love and mercy for
us. God knows that we flourish only by living a life in union with His will. God's mercy provides us with every
ounce of strength we need to actually fulfill the commandments, which is the same as to fulfill the demands of
love. Christ actively seeks us in order to forgive us and
bring us into a loving relationship with God. No offense is
greater than the mercy of God. Christ endured His passion and death to heal us and make us new in Himself.
We all need Christ's mercy and He seeks to heal all including those suffering from the aftermath of abortion the mother who had the abortion, the father who may
have ran from his responsibility and encouraged the
abortion, the parents who may have told their daughter
that abortion was the only option, and the aborted child's
siblings who may be angry at their mother for ending the
life of their brother or sister. In his encyclical Evangelium
Vitae, St. Pope John Paul II offers a special message of
hope to women who have had an abortion - "The Church
is aware of the many factors which may have influenced
your decision, and she does not doubt in many cases it
was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in
your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in
to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to
understand what happened and face it honestly. If you
have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of Mercies is
ready to give you His forgiveness and His peace in the
Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be
able to ask forgiveness from your child, who is now living
in the Lord." Christ loves and offers His mercy no matter
the sin. Jesus told St. Faustina, "The greater the sinner,
the greater the right to My mercy." Let us pray, and publicly proclaim Christ's message of mercy, that those injured through participation in abortion and other offenses
against God's gift of Life will seek and accept His healing
mercy. Jesus I Trust in You. Submitted by Kevin
Dugan, ProLife Ministry

R.C.I.A.
Congratulations to Franklin Rich-
ardson, Nancy Kishbaugh, Maria
Del Rosa Vazquez and Jonathan
Collins as they celebrated the Sacra-
ments of Initiation at the Easter Vigil
Mass. Please continue to pray for them
as they enter the final period of R.C.I.A.
and the beginning of their lifelong faith journey in Christ.
I would like to personally acknowledge and thank the
R.C.I.A. team (Paul Cramer, Mary Young, and Dodie
Hollod), for their love and devotion as well as for their
commitment of time which they give so generously to
those seeking Christ’s truth. Their lives are truly living
examples of Christ’s love and they are the instruments in
which He expresses His desire for our new Neophytes to
live in the fullness of His love.
We would also like to extend gratitude to all the Priests,
Deacons, Parish staff, and Parish sponsors who help
in so many numerous ways as well as offering encouragement. You all help to continually build up the Body of
Christ.
We would also like to thank you, our faithful Parishioners for praying for them and welcoming them to our Parish family. No words can express the appreciation of the
team and of our newest members; our Neophytes, for the
love and support you freely have shared with them.
This journey is not one done is isolation but can only be
done with the Church which is the Living Body of
Christ!
With utmost gratitude,

A Mass for Hidden Treasures
My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom,
and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out
for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding,
if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for HIDDEN TREASURES; then you will understand the fear of
the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2:1

HEALTH SCREENING
~TODAY - April 12,
2015
Sponsored by The Parish Nurses
The Parish Nurses of Immaculate Conception Church will sponsor a
FREE HEALTH SCREENING - TODAY Sunday April 12th in conjunction with St Peter's Mobile Unit. The hours of operation are 8:30am
to 12 noon. There is no pre-registration, however, screening is on a first
come first served basis. Saint Peter's will therefore determine the time
they will see the last patient. The Health Fair is being held in the Immaculate Conception grade school Cafeteria. Some of the great services it will include are screenings for: blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, DermaScan(for skin cancer), height, weight, body mass
index(BMI), and nutrition counseling. We are hoping to have a doctor
present to answer questions and a representative to answer insurance
questions as well. Please take advantage of this free, stellar opportunity to care for your body, as we believe, through scripture that we are a
temple of the Holy Spirit!
Food Collection:
On the third
Sunday of each month non-perishable
foods are collected at the entrances of
the church. The food is distributed to
three agencies; the Somerset Community Food Bank, FISH emergency food
and clothing pantry and the Somerville Welfare Office. Over
the last few months our Parish Food Collection has decreased
dramatically. We rely on the generous hearts of this Parish
Community to help us to continue to fill our neighboring food
pantries. It truly is a simple way to help those in need. Please
take the time to fill one grocery bag with non-perishable items
for those who do not have the means to purchase one of life’s
basic needs ~ food. This ministry is crucial to living the Gospel message that calls us to serve the hungry and in some cases
the homeless. Jesus spoke the word clearly when he stated
“When I was hungry did you feed me? For what you do for the
least of these you did for me.” The next food collection is
scheduled for next weekend April 18th & 19th .
Campaign Prayer
O God, you entrusted to us the fruits of all creation so that we
might care for the earth and be nourished with its bounty. You
sent us your Son to share our very flesh and blood and to teach
us your Law of Love. Through His death and resurrection, we
have been formed into one human family. Jesus showed great
concern for those who had no food – even transforming five
loaves and two fish into a banquet that served five thousand
and many more. We come before you, O God, conscious of our
faults and failures, but full of hope, to share food with all members in this global family. Through your wisdom, inspire leaders of government and of business, as well as all the world’s
citizens, to find just, and charitable solutions to end hunger by
assuring that all people enjoy the right to food. Thus we pray, O
God, that when we present ourselves for Divine Judgment, we
can proclaim ourselves as “One Human Family” with “Food
for All”. AMEN.

Philadelphia 2015—Save the
Date!
Mark your family calendar for the 8th World
Meeting of Families! Philadelphia is proud
to welcome families from around the world to
this event on September 22-27, 2015. Visit
the official website: WorldMeeting2015.org to learn more and to sign up for
regular updates on how you can participate. The 10
months prior to the World Meeting of Families have been
assigned 10 themes based on the 10 chapters of the Preparatory Catechesis, “Love is our Mission: The Family
Fully Alive”. The April theme is: All Love Bears Fruit
which states: Not everyone is called to marriage. But
every life is meant to be fertile. Every life has the power
and the need to nurture new life — if not through bearing
and raising children, then through other vital forms of selfgiving, building and service. The Church is an extended
family of different vocations, each distinct but each needing and supporting the others. Priesthood, religious life
and the celibate lay vocation to enrich, and are enriched
by, the witness of the married state. The different ways of
being chaste and celibate outside of marriage are ways of
donating one’s life to God’s service and the human community.
Would you like to host a family during the week?
Host Families can host visitors in a spare bedroom, a vacant apartment, or any amenable facility. Visiting individuals and families can then search the Host Family database to find hosts to be matched to. When registering as
a Host Family, you will include information on your hosting situation (bedrooms, family hobbies, pets, allergies,
access to public transportation, etc.). Additionally, each
visiting family will pay a nightly fee to the Host Family.
The Host Family can use that money to offset costs, buy
breakfast each day, donate to the visiting family, or in any
other way desired. Your role, as a Host Family, is pivotal
in enabling many families to make this trip safe and affordable. If you would like to open your home to a World
Meeting of Families visitor, you can register at https://
worldmeeting2015.homestaymanager.com/host/

Domingo De La Divina Misericordia
Mensaje Spiritual
¡¡Jesús ha resucitado!! Ésta es la noticia más importante de
todo el Evangelio. Y, sin embargo, como siempre, Dios nos confunde.
Sucedió de noche, sin que nadie apenas se enterara. Sí, de noche. Así
son todos los grandes acontecimientos de Dios... Este Dios nuestro
tiene un sentido del humor bastante fino y ocurrente. Parece que
Dios se divierte gastándoles bromas a los hombres para jugar luego
con ellos a las "escondidas". Y mientras se esconde, se sigue riendo
Lecturas del Domingo
Primera lectura
Act 4:32-35
Segunda lectura
1 Jn 5:1-6
Evangelio:
San Juan 20: 19-31
traviesamente -como hace el papá con su hijo pequeño- a ver si
nosotros somos capaces de descubrirlo y de encontrarlo en medio
del bosque o del jardín....
Pero Dios, con este modo de actuar, nos está revelando su infinita
humildad, bondad y condescendencia.
Tampoco así se nos impone a fuerza de evidencias, sino que respeta
DIA DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA

nuestra libre elección. Porque nos ama como un auténtico Padre.
Sólo los seres verdaderamente grandes son también profundamente
humildes. Muy al contrario de nosotros, a quienes tanto nos fascina
el ruido, la vanidad y el "cacareo" en todo lo que hacemos; nos
encanta que el mundo entero se dé cuenta de nuestras "hazañas" y
nos alabe por las "bobadas" que realizamos como si fueran el
heroísmo más espectacular de la historia... ¡Qué pequeños y ridículos
somos tantas veces! Y Dios se debe de seguir riendo de nosotros... Al
menos así se "divierte".
También a Jesús le gusta esconderse y pasar desapercibido.
Porque es Dios. Su nacimiento en Belén ocurrió en medio de la
noche. Pasó treinta largos años de su vida escondido en la aldea de
Nazaret, "de noche". Como la primera Pascua de la historia, cuando
Dios liberó al pueblo de Israel de la esclavitud de Egipto. O al igual
"La humanidad no conseguirá la paz hasta que no se dirija
con confianza a la Misericordia de Dios"
La Fiesta de la Divina Misericordia tiene como fin principal hacer
llegar a los corazones de cada persona el siguiente mensaje: Dios
es Misericordioso y nos ama a todos. Cuanto más grande es el
pecador, tanto más grande es el derecho que tiene a la misericordia de Dios. Tengamos plena confianza en la Misericordia de Dios,
y seamos siempre misericordiosos con el prójimo a través de
nuestras palabras, acciones y oraciones... "porque la fe sin obras,
por fuerte que sea, es inútil".
Con el fin de celebrar apropiadamente esta festividad,
El domingo 12 de abril rezaremos la Coronilla después de la misa de las 2 PM.
que la primera Pascua cristiana, la de aquel gran Jueves Santo... ¡De
noche! De noche quiso morir -¡hasta el mismo sol se eclipsó en pleno
mediodía!- y de noche quiso ser sepultado en la tierra.
Y ahora, su gran triunfo, su victoria definitiva, su
resurrección, se realiza de noche y a la vista de casi nadie. ¿Por qué?
Además de revelarnos su humildad divina, este modo de actuar es
una fuerte llamada a nuestra conciencia y a nuestro corazón para
invitarnos a estar en vela, con los ojos del alma y del cuerpo bien
atentos y despiertos. No nos vaya a ocurrir lo mismo que les pasó a
los apóstoles la noche de aquel primer Jueves Santo, después de la
Ultima Cena -que fue también la primera Cena de la nueva alianza-:
¡se quedaron dormidos en el huerto, mientras su Maestro allí, en
Getsemaní, entraba en agonía!
Pero también actúa así para que nuestra respuesta a Él sea
en la fe, en el amor auténtico, en la humildad y en la libertad. Nadie
vio cómo resucitó el Señor, ni a qué hora sucedió aquel portento... ¡y
Acto seguido, los invitamos a pasar a la cafetería del
colegio Inmaculada Concepción a disfrutar de una rica comida.
Todos son bienvenidos.

TODO AMOR ES FECUNDO
No todos están llamados al
matrimonio. Pero toda vida tiene
el propósito de ser fértiles. Toda
vida tiene el poder y la
necesidad de nutrir la vida
nueva: si no es a través de dar
a luz y criar niños, entonces a
través de otras formas vitales de
entrega personal, de desarrollo y
de servicio.
La Iglesia es una familia
ampliada de diferentes
vocaciones, cada una distinta,
pero cada una necesitando de los demás y apoyándolas.
El sacerdocio, la vida religiosa y la vocación laica
célibe enriquecen y son enriquecidos por el testimonio
del estado matrimonial. Las maneras diferentes de ser
castos y célibes fuera del matrimonio son maneras de
entregar la propia vida al servicio de Dios y de la
comunidad humana.

Padrinos para el Bautizo
Requisitos:
Los Estados de derecho canónico
(Iglesia) de un Padrino deben ser:
•
Ser un Católico Bautizado y Confirmado que asiste
a la Misa semanal y recibe la Eucaristía.
• Al menos 14 años de edad (siempre que el Padrino
o la Madrina hayan recibido la Confirmación)
• No ser uno de los padres
• Llevar una vida moral según la doctrina de la Iglesia, y ser un buen modelo Católico.
• Si es casado, estar casado según la ley de la Iglesia
• Ser un usuario registrado de su parroquia actual y
obtener un certificado de elegibilidad
• Sólo podemos dar Certificados de Elegibilidad a
aquellos que están registrados en nuestra parroquia.
Ya que se requiere solamente un padrino Católico, un
miembro Bautizado de otra iglesia cristiana (pero no
católico) puede servir como un testigo Cristiano. Puesto
que los Padrinos renuevan su Promesa Bautismal prometido durante el rito del bautismo; una persona no
bautizada no puede servir en este importante papel.
