There are extraordinary graces to be had on this day: “complete forgiveness of sins and punish- ment” (the equivalent of a plenary indulgence). The only conditions to re- ceive these graces are to receive Holy Communion worthily on Divine Mercy Sunday (or the Vigil celebration) by making a good confession beforehand and staying in the state of grace and trusting in His Divine Mercy. By these conditions, our Lord is emphasizing the value of confession and Holy Com- munion as miracles of mercy. The Eucharist is Jesus, Himself, the Living God, longing to pour Himself as Mercy into our hearts. There is a special celebration (Eucharistic Adoration and Prayer) of Divine Mercy in the parish next Sunday at 3 pm. You do not have to go to confession on Mercy Sunday itself (and in fact we are unable to provide confessions on Sunday this year). All of Lent should have been a preparation, and hopefully you made a good confession in Lent. Where did the feast of Divine Mercy come from? If you were born well before the year 2000, you know the feast of Divine Mercy has not always been celebrated in the Church. In the early 1900s, a young Polish nun began receiving private revelations. Jesus appeared to her during her times of prayer, speaking a message of mercy and love for the world. She received a set of prayers — the Divine Mercy Chaplet — and the request to have a feast day established to remind the Church of the mercy of God. St. Faustina died in 1938, on the cusp of war and in the midst of one of the most violent centuries in the history of the world. Her story and her diaries began circulating in Poland and beyond. It quickly became apparent that this was a holy young women, and the cause for her canonization opened. In the year 2000, she was canonized by the first-ever Polish pope, St. John Paul II. On her canonization day, he established the sec- ond Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, “a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficul- ties and trials that mankind with experience in the years to come.” ©LPi Vol. 72.

  • By Lucas Tappan, Director of Liturgy and Music Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church, Topeka, KS
    By Lucas Tappan, Director of Liturgy and Music Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church, Topeka, KS My otherwise phenomenal professors in graduate school did me a grave injustice by failing to mention that as a professional church musician I would not only need to be a serviceable organist, conductor and vocal coach, but additionally, I would have to possess all of the knowledge and traits of the best sports psychologists, teachers, parents, communicators, disciplinarians, financial officers and... FUNDRAISERS! It is possible that I would rather have labored my life away on a Roman galley ship than to have been placed in charge of fundraising for any institution. However, the Lord is full of surprises. In May of 2014, the Foundation for the Sacred Arts and Music invited our choristers (Most Pure Heart of Mary Schola Cantorum) to go on pilgrimage to Rome. Not one to be bothered by details, I readily accepted the invitation before giving a thought to how the choir would pay for it. By the Grace of God we made it happen. I still don't qualify as a specialist in the field, nevertheless, I offer the following suggestions to my fellow musicians in hopes that someone, somewhere, toiling and struggling to raise more money than his house is worth, might find in them a ray of hope. Prayer: However cliche it might sound for the Catholic musician to give a perfunctory nod to the necessity of prayer, I cannot stress enough how important prayer is to your cause. I was faced with the task of getting 43 choristers to Rome, most of whom needed serious financial help, and for a year-and- a-half my daily Rosary intention was for the success of raising the necessary funds.

  • Make Our Hearts Like Unto Thine
    “Instaurare omnia in Christo” Make Our Hearts Like unto Thine Devotion to the Immaculate Heart The Consecration of Russia Co-Redemptrix July - August 2013 Theme Make Our Hearts Like unto Thine Devotion to the Immaculate Heart by Fr. Pierre Duverger, SSPX 1 The primary source for Three times in 1916, three little children saw an Angel. The following year, the writing of this article and the following one is Fatima became famous. Our Lady appeared from May to October on the the recent work by Joseph de Belfont: Mysteries and 13th of the month. She came and spoke to Lucy, the oldest. Jacinta heard the Hidden Truths of the Third words, but Francisco was only able to see the visions.1 Secret of Fatima [French] (Lanore, 2011). Prayers and sacrifices for sinners, the recitation of the rosary, hell and war, offenses against God and His Mother, secrets to be revealed later, announcement of wars, conversion of Russia and a miracle to come—all these things attracted more than 70,000 people on October 13, 1917. In front of this immense crowd, after a heavy rain which left everyone muddy and tired, the sun danced before everyone, witnesses of this unique miracle, never seen since Joshua. Between 1925 and 1930, Sister Lucy continued to receive instructions to complete and transmit the message and the secrets. The first and second World Wars would start and finish as prophesied by the Queen of Peace. Almost a century later, the Third Secret of Fatima, supposedly revealed by the Vatican in 2000, is still the object of inquiry, and the specific request made to the Pope is still incomplete despite various attempts.

  • 11Th Sunday in Ordinary Time June 13, 2021 Today, Most Pure Heart Of
    11th Sunday in Ordinary Time June 13, 2021 Today, Most Pure Heart of Mary celebrates its patronal feast day, the Immaculate Heart of Mary (or the Most Pure Heart of Mary). Technically this feast day takes place the day before, on Saturday, but Father has the authority to celebrate it on Sunday for all the parish to take part. The Immaculate Heart of Mary celebrates the beautiful reality that Mary was and is preserved from all sin and therefore her heart beats only to love her Son, Jesus Christ. Her feast day is attached to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which takes place the day before, drawing our attention to the two hearts that beat as one. May Mary lead all of us to the Heart of her Son. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Prayer and Action is at Most Pure Heart of Mary this Summer! Prayer and Action, or “PandA” as it is affectionately called, is a service retreat ministry that provides teens the unique opportunity to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church while serving the local communities of northeast Kansas. Prayer and Action consists of a six-person team of college students and seminarians who are here from the beginning of June until the end of July. High school youth groups come each week with a few adult chaperones. During the day, they work on service projects throughout the parish boundaries helping fix houses and other properties. During the nighttime, they eat together and make time for community building, formation, and prayer! If you are interested in supporting Prayer and Action this summer, you can aid us in one (or more!) of three ways! 1.

Our eyes are at fault, that is all. God is in the manger, wealth in poverty, light in darkness, succor in abandonment. No evil can befall us; whatever men may do to us, they cannot but serve the God who is secretly revealed as love and rules the world and our lives.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer Tuesday, December 1st: As we approach the holidays, many people are obsessed with buying gifts and many will overextend themselves in an attempt to somehow assuage the angst of what we’ve been experiencing this year.
