On the Second Sunday of Easter in the Year 2000, at the Mass for the Canonization of St. Faustina Kowalska, Pope John Paul II declared the Sunday after Easter be called “Divine Mercy Sunday.”
St. Faustina was a Polish nun who received visions from Jesus, including one of Jesus wearing a white garment with beams of red and white coming from His heart, which came to be known as the image of Divine Mercy. In her diary, she wrote that He said: “I want the Image to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter, and I want it to be venerated publicly so that every soul may know about it…My daughter, tell the whole world about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy.” Divine Mercy Sunday focuses on the gift of mercy and love given through Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. As Pope John Paul II stated, “Divine Mercy reaches human Beings through the heart of Christ crucified.”
Our migrant family is now living in Pilsen for seven weeks. Both Children attend the local public school. Jose goes to Home Depot daily in the South Loop looking for a day job or at least a couple of hours of work each day. Unfortunately, there are at least 25 other migrants looking for work at Home Depot each day. Jose worked for one contractor for three days. The contractor asked him to come back the fourth day for the final day of work. The contractor never showed up and never paid Jose his wages. Andreina is working with a local health clinic to start as a volunteer in order for her to familiarize herself with the medical system here. In Venezuela Andreina was a licensed certified nurse. The clinic will work with her in the revalidation of her license once she gets enough English. The kids have adapted well to the school and have made many new friends. They are grateful for all the help they have received and want to be work and pay their own bilss but they don’t have their work permits yet. It is very frustrating for them. Jose worries regularly about how this is all going to work out but he and his wife trust in God who helped them walk 3,000 miles to make a better life for themselves and their kids. Jose and Andreina have applied for their Temporary Protected Status and work permits. Catholic Charities immigration staff completed the applications with them. Immigration received the applications two weeks ago. One hopes that the process would not take so long but no one really knows if their papers will be processed in weeks or months. The donations to assist Jose and family have decreased substantially. We need your help. As a part of your Lenten journey would you and your family consider donating to feed our migrant family for one week. On an average the family spends approximately $175 per week for groceries and household items. The little money that Jose makes at Home Depot helps the family cover day to day expenses. If the Lord moves your heart to help feed this family during Lent and beyond please use the link or the QR code for this corporal work of mercy.
