La enorme misericordia de Dios, derramada por nosotros’
Estimados amigos,
Este pasado domingo celebramos el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia, que, como usted sabe, es una celebración de gozo para nosotros el segundo domingo de Pascua para considerar la enorme misericordia de Dios, derramada por nosotros. Y por eso, quisiera detallar sobre mi homilía de este último domingo y reflejar sobre el evangelio que leímos. Debo también observar, sin embargo, que este último domingo también celebramos el cuarto aniversario de la elección del Papa Benedicto XVI como sucesor de San Pedro, y esta semana celebraremos el aniversario de su instalación. Así pues, mantengamos en oración a nuestro Santo Padre especialmente esta semana.

‘The tremendous mercy of God, poured out for us’
Dear Friends,
This past Sunday we celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday, which, as you know, is a joyous celebration for us on the Second Sunday of Easter to consider the tremendous mercy of God, poured out for us. And so, I think, I would like to draw upon my homily for this past Sunday and to reflect upon the Gospel we read. I should also note, however, that this past Sunday we also celebrated the fourth anniversary of Pope Benedict XVI’s election as the Successor of St. Peter, and this week we’ll celebrate the anniversary of his installation. So, let’s keep our Holy Father especially in prayer this week.

Paul discovered happiness in Jesus Christ
Note from Bishop Morlino: Dear Friends, As we come to the close of this year of St. Paul, let us refocus our minds and hearts on the life and works of this great Apostle. One of our newly ordained priests, Fr. Brian Dulli, parochial vicar of Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Parish in Sun Prairie, has been kind enough to offer some excellent reflections on St. Paul to help us along the way. — Bishop Robert C. Morlino
Second in a series
Paul remains the most formidable thinker of apostolic times. While he could not have initiated Christianity, we owe to Paul profound thanks both for his human and spiritual gifts.
Much of what Paul writes flows from his very capable reflection on what happened to him as a human being and then as an apostle.
