Sunday of Divine Mercy
On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,
for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst
and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.
The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”
Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve,
was not with them when Jesus came.
So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands
and put my finger into the nailmarks
and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
Now a week later his disciples were again inside
and Thomas was with them.
Jesus came, although the doors were locked,
and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.”
Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands,
and bring your hand and put it into my side,
and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me?
Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples
that are not written in this book.
But these are written that you may come to believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

Words from Fabio
Parish Workday
I think, or rather, I’m sure, that all of you not only want but love the parish of St. Paul the Apostle. That is why I want to invite you with all my heart, so that next Saturday, April 13, we can come to the parish to carry out some cleaning and improvement activities on the premises of the parish, which are necessary both for the care of the present and the future. We will clean inside the church, kitchen, parish hall, and on the outside, we will take care of gardening (removing shrubs, trees, installing the flagpoles, mulch, etc.) Pardon my nerve, but I ask you to help me by bringing the tools since we don’t have much material in the parish. We will start at 8:30 am. It depends on you the tasks that can be carried out. We are waiting for you.*For an update on the restrooms and Cinco de Mayo festival, please see Bulletin Insert for 4-7-24 in Weekly Bulletin link above.
