DIVINE MERCY
In these past weeks, since the lockdown, I have been opening the church at 6:30 each morning. My routine has been that after opening the church I walk up and down the aisles saying the rosary and praying for all the people of the Parish: those who have died and are dying, those who are sick, those who feel alone and isolated, for a young people, and for all of our first responders. Like each of you, I pray asking Mary Help of Christians that we may all be safe and healthy. As I was praying on Friday, I was struck by the image of Divine Mercy which we placed in the center of our Easter altar. And I thought to myself, “we certainly are in need of Your Mercy! Lord Jesus, have mercy on us and on the whole world!“. This Sunday we celebrate this beautiful feast of Divine Mercy and we say with St. Thomas in the Gospel of today: “ My Lord and my God!”. Perhaps this Sunday more than ever, we say it with a deep realization that we truly are totally dependent on God!
As we celebrate this feast, it is good for us to reflect on the beautiful words that Our Lord spoke to St. Faustina. “I desire that the feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of my tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approached the fount of my mercy. The soul that will go to confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which graces flow are opened.“ These words, especially at this time of the pandemic, should fill us with confidence and hope. And although circumstances are not allowing us to receive the sacraments of penance and the Eucharist, God knows the desires that are in our hearts. We put our trust in Him, and so we know that in His divine mercy, even though we cannot receive the sacraments, He opens for us the ocean of graces He promised! Today, our constant prayer is simply “Jesus I trust in you!“.
Jesus is with us and experiencing all the pains of this pandemic as we are. Recently, Deacon Mike Gizzo, was praying with his aunt who is in a nursing home. He was speaking to her virtually, as she shared with him the pain of her isolation and quarantine and of not being able to physically be with family and friends. At one point she shared with Deacon Mike this beautiful thought which I want to pass on to you. She said, “I don’t feel alone because Jesus is in quarantine too! He can’t come out of the tabernacle right now. So he is experiencing all this with us.” What a beautiful thought! What a beautiful source of hope for us! Jesus is experiencing the pandemic, with all its pains and limitations and aggravations! He is with all of us! His mercy never leaves us! We can’t even imagine the pain of quarantine He feels being locked in the tabernacle when His one desire is to be the Bread of Life for each of us!
This Sunday, I invite each of us to practice the ABC’s of Divine Mercy! A: ask for His mercy for yourself and for the whole world. B: be merciful to others — today, make a call to see how someone is doing, be patient with those you are “locked in” with, or simply try to bear the inconvenience of all you are experiencing with a smile and without complaint. C: repeat frequently “ Jesus I put my trust in You!” and trust Him! We will get through this because He is with us and lives us!
Be sure of the prayers of the entire Salesian community for all of you and your families. We miss you and we think of you every day! Please pray for us! God bless you!

PRAYER IN TIME OF SICKNESSIn the name of the Father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit...
Oh God, our Father, full of infinite goodness, look after your people tried by the current great epidemic.
Do now what you have always done allowing us to experience your great mercy and your paternal tenderness.
We entrust to you all those that are sick, the elderly, the children and their families.
Protect all doctors and all other health workers who with self-denial are on the frontlines to help the many people affected by this Coronavirus.
Give light and wisdom to those who seek new ways to safeguard our health.
We ask you Good Father, to welcome in your merciful arms all those affected by this great sickness.
Mary, Mother, Teacher, and as always Queen of your people.
To you, to your heart we entrust our anxieties and fear of these days.
Pray for us your children. Walk alongside us and show us who you are, our Mother, Mother of Grace and Consolation. Mother of Fortitude and Hope, the Help of Christians!
Oh Powerful Saint Patrick, Patron and glory of our Archdiocese of New York, intercede for us along with all the Doctor Saints to obtain freedom from this pandemic and so to sing and give thanks with new hearts to the Mercy of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen! -
