INTRODUCING OUR 5-PART SERIES:

THE PASCHAL MYSTERY,

JOY, AND DIVINE MERCY

In preparation for Easter Sunday and Holy Week, we introduce the 5-part series on “The Paschal Mystery, Joy, and Divine Mercy”. These topics are inter-woven. At the heart of our faith, they wind their way through scripture, throughout papal documents, and in previous blog writings. Hopefully, we will gladly renew (or begin now) our desire to seek the Lord’s hand in knitting them into the fabric of our own lives.

Resurrection, restoration, and joy become the grand finale of Our Lord’s tribulation-filled life, tortuous Passion, and horrific crucifixion. When we “take up our cross and follow” Him, we, too, walk that road toward that joyous, resurrection “grand finale”.

The five-part series ["Paschal Mystery, Joy and Divine Mercy"] includes:

PART I: PASSIONATE LOVE, PASSIONATE DEATH: PASCHAL MERCY

PART II: PASSIONATE DEATH leads to JOYOUS RESURRECTION

PART II B, EARLY STEPS: COUNT IT ALL JOY

and

SELECTED QUOTES from Evangelii Gaudium

PART III: JOY IN THE MIDST OF PAIN [JOY COMES IN THE MORNING]

PART IV: PAPAL WRITINGS ON MERCY AND SAINT FAUSTINA

PART V: DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY 

Look for this series over the next few weeks, 

as we commemorate Holy Week, 

celebrate Easter Sunday, 

and look forward to Divine Mercy Sunday.

The Jubilee Year of Mercy is over, but God’s great and incomprehensible mercy remains!
