This is the Sunday of Mercy, Divine Mercy , all Mercy is Divine. In the evening of the same day, doors were closed and the Risen Jesus stood among friends who had denied and deserted Him and simply said “Peace be with you” No need of judgement, punishment, disappointment or reprimand—simply “Peace be with you”. This is Mercy—”This is Divine Mercy”.
This week we remember the gift of our Polish Community as we remember St. Faustina. We remember St. Pope John Paul and his mercy for the one who tried to kill him. We think also of the Sisters of Mercy, worldwide in our Diocese and here in our Parish for the last 31 years, as a listening, understanding and praying presence of Mercy for all of us. Catherine McCauley who planted the first seeds of Mercy in Baggot St. in 1831 wrote:
“The simplest and most practical lesson I know….
Is to resolve to be good today, but better tomorrow.
Let us take one day only in hand, at a time,
Merely making a resolve for tomorrow,
Thus we may hope to get on taking short,
Careful steps, not great strides. (Sr. Catherine McAuley )

Where the world is merciless……...be God’s mercy
Where the world is hopeless……..be God’s hope.
Where the world is wounded ……...be God’s healing.
Where the world is weeping……...be God’s song.
Where the world is crumbling ……..be God’s rock
If you want the world to change, be God’s love,
God has greater plans for you. Be God’s love (Song of Young Mercy Leaders)
