THE DIVINE MERCY MESSAGE AND DEVOTION
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us
— all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater
than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His
mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to
share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by
remembering ABC:

What is the Divine Mercy?/
¿Que es la Divina Misericordia?
9am-12pm; 1-6pm
949-492-4101
w e lco m e to
our lady of fatima parish
1.Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer
constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His
mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
2.Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow
through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness
to others just as He does to us.
3.Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces
of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in
Jesus, the more we will receive.
This message and devotion to Jesus as The Divine Mercy is based
on the writings of Saint Faustina Kowalska, an uneducated Polish
nun who, in obedience to her spiritual director, wrote a diary of
about 600 pages recording the revelations she received about God’s
mercy. Even before her death in 1938, the devotion to The Divine
Mercy had begun to spread. To learn more about the Divine Mercy
please visit www.thedivinemercy.org.
EL MENSAJE Y DEVOCIÓN DE LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA
El mensaje de la Divina Misericordia es simple. Es que Dios nos
ama - a todos nosotros. Y, Él quiere que reconozcamos que Su misericordia es más grande que nuestros pecados, para que podamos
recurrir a Él con confianza, recibir su misericordia, y dejar que
fluya a través de nosotros a los demás. Por lo tanto, todos vendrán a
compartir su alegría.
El mensaje de la Divina Misericordia es uno que podemos llamar a
la mente simplemente por recordar ABC:
1.Aclama por Su Misericordia. Dios quiere que nos acerquemos a
Él en la oración constante, arrepintiendonos de nuestros pecados
y pidiéndole que derramar su misericordia sobre nosotros y
sobre el mundo entero.
2.Buen misericordioso. Dios quiere que recibamos su misericordia y dejar que fluya a través de nosotros a los demás. Él nos
quiere extender el amor y el perdón a los demás como Él nos
hace a nosotros.
3.Confía completamente en Jesús. Dios quiere que sepamos que
las gracias de su misericordia dependen de nuestra confianza.
Cuanto más confiamos en Jesús, más recibiremos.
Este mensaje y devoción a Jesús como la Divina Misericordia se
basa en los escritos de Santa Faustina Kowalska, una monja Polaca
sin educación que, en obediencia a su director espiritual, escribió
un diario de alrededor de 600 páginas de la grabación de las revelaciones que ella recibió sobre la misericordia de Dios. Incluso antes
de su muerte en 1938, la devoción a la Divina Misericordia había
empezado a extenderse. Para aprender más sobre la Divina Misericordia por favor visite www.thedivinemercy.org.

fr. James C. Ries
Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/
Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima,
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!
Today we were told of the experience the
Apostles had when Jesus offered them
Peace. This was not just some kind of
saying hello gesture, this was, in a way,
giving part of Himself to them. This was
part of the reason for changing the words
at mass. For many, the Sign of Peace at
mass, is more of time to say hello to all
your neighbors, “Hey, how’s it going!”
But really this part of the mass is much
more profound. It is a time for us to center in on what’s about to happen. We’re
about to receive Jesus!
It’s written that we should leave our gifts
at the altar and find our brother or sister and reconcile with them
before returning. This peace we are offering is deeper than a simple
hello. Maybe the person we need to reconcile with is in the same pew,
but most of the time they are not, so the person next to you becomes
a proxy for the ones you offended or hurt. In this way, whoever we are
offering peace to becomes the person we are asking for forgiveness
and hope the best for them. Peace be with you.
Thursday Night Confessions at 7pm: April 23 (picnic tables at end of
parking lot by the pier)
God bless you all!
Fr. Jim
Él ha Resucitado! Él ha Resucitado!
Hoy se nos dijo de la experiencia que tuvieron los apóstoles cuando
Jesús les ofreció la Paz. Esto no era más que una especie de decir hola,
esto era, en cierto modo, dar parte de sí mismo a ellos. Esta fue una de
las razones del cambio de palabras en la misa. Para muchos, el signo
de la paz en la misa, es más tiempo para saludar a todos sus vecinos,
“Hey, ¿cómo te va!” Pero en realidad esta parte de la Misa es mucho
más profunda. Es un tiempo para centrarnos en lo que está a punto de
suceder. Estamos a punto de recibir a Jesús!

Está escrito que tenemos que dejar nuestros dones en el altar y encontrar a nuestro hermano o hermana y conciliarnos con ellos antes
de regresar. Esta paz que estamos ofreciendo es más profunda que un
simple hola. Tal vez la persona que tenemos que conciliar con está
en el misma banca, pero la mayoría de las veces no lo esta, por lo que
la persona a tu lado se convierte en un sustituto de los que usted ha
ofendido o herido. De esta manera, el que estamos ofreciendo paz se
convierte en la persona que estamos pidiendo perdón y esperamos lo
mejor para ellos. La paz este con ustedes.

FOR FURTHER REFLECTION/PARA MÁS REFLEXIÓN
PRESENT IN OUR MIDST
Like Thomas, most of us long to experience divine presence in a tangible way – a presence that we can see, hear
and touch. We think, “If only we could encounter the flesh
and blood Jesus as the first disciples, our faith would be
stronger.” How many times though, do miss seeing him
in the everyday experiences of our lives – in creation, in
our work and in our relationships? Trusting that the risen
Christ is ever present in our midst, we will see him in those
moments.
1.What experience of Jesus have you had in your life?
What experience of Jesus have you had in the last week?
2.When have you experienced God’s mercy?
When have you shown God’s mercy?
Take a moment to revisit this Sunday’s readings [Acts 4:3235; 1 Jn 5:1-6; Jn 20:19-31] or view them online at http://
usccb.org/bible/readings/041215.cfm
PRESENTE ENTRE NOSOTROS
Al igual que Tomas, la mayoría de nosotros tardamos en
experimentar la presencia divina en una forma real - una
presencia que podemos ver, oír y tocar. Pensamos: “Si tan
sólo pudiéramos encontrarnos con la carne y la sangre de
Jesús como los primeros discípulos, nuestra fe sería más
fuerte.” ¿Cuántas veces, sin embargo, se nos pasa verlo en las
experiencias cotidianas de nuestras vidas - en la creación,
en nuestro trabajo y en nuestras relaciones? Confiando en
que el Cristo resucitado está siempre presente en medio de
nosotros, lo vamos a ver en esos momentos.
1.¿Qué experiencia de Jesús has tenido en tu vida? ¿Qué
experiencia de Jesús has tenido en la última semana?
2.Cuando has experimentado la misericordia de Dios?
¿Cuándo has mostrado misericordia de Dios?

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 12 /
REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 12 DE ABRIL
“The community of believers was of one heart and one mind.” For
those who practice stewardship as a way of life every passage from
Holy Scripture contains a stewardship message. However, today’s
readings are particularly special in that regard. The first reading from
the Acts of the Apostles speaks to the sense of unity and teamwork of
the early Church. Our own parishes may reflect this idea that we are
one, and that we have a common purpose.
One of the great misconceptions of this particular scriptural passage is that it reflects what we might term a “sense of Communism.”
However, as we as Catholics and stewards reflect upon this, we must
understand a basic difference. Communism says “What you think
is yours is really mine.” Our faith, our community, and our good
stewards say, “What may seem to be mine is really yours.”
“No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own.” This is
the stewardship understanding that, first and foremost, everything
comes from, is gifted by, and is possessed by God, not by us. In addition, stewards understand that all their gifts are to be shared with
others. The key to this entire passage is, nonetheless, that the early
Christians regarded people as more important than things. As difficult as this may be for us, that is to what we are called, as well. Read

our lady of fatima parish
“La comunidad de los creyentes tenía un solo corazón y una sola
alma”. Para los que practican la corresponsabilidad como una forma
de vida cada pasaje de la Sagrada Escritura contiene un mensaje de
corresponsabilidad. Sin embargo, las lecturas de hoy son particularmente especial en ese sentido. La primera lectura de los Hechos de
los Apóstoles habla al sentido de unidad y el trabajo en equipo de la
Iglesia primitiva. Nuestras propias parroquias pueden reflejar la idea
de que somos uno, y que tenemos un propósito común.
Uno de los grandes conceptos erróneos de este pasaje bíblico en
particular es que refleja lo que podríamos llamar un “sentido del comunismo.” Sin embargo, nosotros, como católicos y administradores
reflexionamos sobre esto, debemos entender una diferencia básica.
El comunismo dice “¿Lo que crees que es tuyo es realmente mío.”
Nuestra fe, nuestra comunidad, y nuestros buenos administradores
dicen: “Lo que puede parecer mío es realmente tuyo.”
“Nadie consideraba suya ninguna de sus posesiones como propios.”
Este es el entendimiento de la administración que, en primer lugar,
todo lo que viene, es regalado, y es poseído por Dios, no por nosotros. Además, los administradores entienden que todos sus regalos
son para ser compartido con otros. La clave de todo este pasaje es,
más que nada, que los primeros cristianos consideraban que las personas son más importantes que las cosas. Por difícil que esto puede
ser para nosotros, es a lo que estamos llamados, también. Puede leer
