The Jubilee Year Of Mercy Goes To Our Communities
3rd of April 2016, that is next Sunday, will be Divine Mercy Sunday. We welcome this Sunday introduced by it. Pope John Paul II in 2000.
In a most special way during this extraordinary Jubilee year of Mercy, announced by Pope Francis, we should celebrate this Sunday with more enthusiasm, thanking Jesus “the visible face of the invisible Father who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy.” (See Prayer for the Jubilee Year of Mercy, by Pope Francis).
Here at Our Lady and St. Jude Naggulu, we shall be marking the beginning of our journey through all Our Christian Communities with the Image of Divine Mercy. The image will be spending one full month in each Community, with activities such as a Novena, Divine Mercy Chaplet, home visitations and giving to others
through the Good Samaritan Ministry. Thus we shall be having a month of works of mercy in each Community and praying that by the time we move to the next community a fire of the mercy of God in that area will have been not only ignited but fuelled!
The activities will begin with St. Pontiano Community. We are all saying to Our Lord: let us see your face Jesus and we will be saved. May your loving gaze bring mercy to our lives. Just to re-avail our readers with Pope Francis’ Prayer for the Jubilee Year we reprint it here below.
Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and
glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind. We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.

I AM A CATHOLIC AND FEEL HAPPY ABOUT IT
Our esteemed readers of The Parishioner, and all parishioners of Naggulu Parish Happy Easter to youall. Let me borrow the words of the well known Easter Song by Sr. M. T. Winter of the Medical Mission Sisters to wish you Happy celebrations in “song”:
“My Lord came forth like the morning
With the splendour of the sun,
Came triumphant from the womb,
From the darkness of the tomb,
The victory won, alleluia.
Sing alleluia, the Lord is risen,
He is risen indeed, alleluia!”
It is my most desired experience for each and every one of you who are reading this message; that those words of the song not only echo in your ears but resonate in your lives! Jesus the Sun is up! May you too come forth with the splendor of the Sun from the darkness of whatever tomb you may have been sealed. And of course Sing Alleluia…………..
I am singing Alleluia, the Lord is risen! As if by design, which I had no way of knowing but left it in God’s hands and accepted it as it came, just before the beginning of Holy Week, my body began to feel unusually weak and all that….. Well I ended up with having to pay a visit to my Doctor and coming back home with what those here at the presbytery baptized “a loving pharmacy”! Today I feel very joyful that I had a very, very, small share in the suffering of our Lord physically during this year’s Holy Week and can say more meaningfully deep within my heart that: “the victory is won, Alleluia’ sing alleluia the Lord risen” the response would be “ He’s risen indeed”. That must be the Easter joy for all of us.
Time to break open the dark tombs and let the light of the Rising Sun shine into them so we may all sing an
alleluia.
