HOLY WEEK & EASTER SCHEDULE

****** MONDAY  APRIL 18 2011*************
After his entrance into Jerusalem, Jesus did what the people expected of him. He became a prophet. He became a judge. Of course, he did, as was so often the case, in a way which was contrary to their expectations and desires. He came to judge the claims of Israel about herself.

****** TUESDAY  APRIL 19TH 2011******

****DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY MAY 1, 2011 *****
“Doubting Thomas”! Expressions from the Bible work their way into everyday use—often in very powerful ways, because they point to basic human truths. How often have we encountered someone so stubborn, so hardheaded that he wouldn’t believe unless he could see it with his own eyes? Perhaps YOU have been like that. I know that I have! But what does it really mean to be a doubting Thomas? On this 2nd Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday, our Gospel message helps us to understand what we miss when we do not TRUST IN GOD.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION WITH DIVINE MERCY PRAYERS,
