Divine Mercy Parish Confessions

“We have grandchildren currently at-tending SEAS, as well as two who have graduated from SEAS. The school has an outstanding record of educational performance and has an exceptional relationship with parents and staff. Our involvement as grandparents has been truly rewarding. It is a wonderful expe-rience to interact with the children and staff during school time by hosting various events. We believe it it this sense of community involvement and relationship in a Catholic atmosphere that brings a sense of joy and love for our school and parish” -Frank and Pam Compagno

"Tenemos nietos que asisten actualmente a SEAS, así como dos que se han graduado de SEAS.

4:00 pm Mass Entrance Here I Am, Lord 1. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin. My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send? Refrain Here I am Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night. I will go, Lord, if You lead me, I will hold Your people in my heart. 2. I, the Lord of snow and rain. I have borne My people's pain. I have wept for love of them. They turn away. I will break their hearts of stone, Give them hearts for love alone. I will speak My word to them. Whom shall I send?

3. I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them. My hand will save. Finest bread I will provide,

ll their hearts be sa sfied. I will give my life to them. Whom shall I send? By: Dan Schu e. Text: Based on Isaiah 6. © 1981, OCP Publica ons. All rights re-served. Used by permission. OneLicense # A-722878.

Family Prayer

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdi-ocese have appreciated the pray-

ers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Suc-cor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives re-spect to the life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

Divine Mercy Parish


Lent is a God given opportunity to re-examine our priorities - who and what come first in our daily lives. Do we begin and end our day focusing on the Lord and thanking Him for His many blessings received, or are we occupied with problems, fears and insecurities? Our culture trains us to behave as though we are God, taking credit for all our successes; assuming responsibility for everything and everyone; believing that we must have the solution to every problem. Throughout the bible, God the Father keeps reminding us through the prophets and then through Jesus, that He is in charge, not us. He tells Jeremiah, I will give them a heart with which to understand that I am the Lord. They shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. (Jer. 2:4) Who or what are my gods? In the remaining weeks of this holy season, let us take stock of our lives, turn to God, ask forgiveness for our pride and arrogance, and let God be God. Reflection by Anne-Marie d’Abadie Barrilleaux

Confessions Reminder Please be reminded that a priest will be available for confessions in every church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans on Wednesday, March 21 from 5:00 PM — 6:30 PM

Confessions Reminder Please be reminded that a priest will be available for confessions in every church in the Archdiocese of New Orleans on Wednesday, March 21 from 5:00 PM — 6:30 PM



La Cuaresma es una oportunidad dada por Dios para reexaminar nuestras prioridades – que and quien vienen primero en nuestras vidas. ¿Empezamos y terminamos nuestros días enfo-cándonos en el Señor y dándole gracias por tan-tas bendiciones recibidas, o nos ocupamos con problemas, miedos y inseguridades? Nuestra cul-tura nos enseña a comportarnos como que si fué-ramos Dios, tomando crédito por todos nuestros éxitos; asumiendo responsabilidad por todo y to-dos; creyendo que debemos tener la solución pa-ra todo problema. En la biblia, Dios el Padre nos sigue recordando por medio de los profetas y des-pués por medio de Jesús, que El es el encargado, no nosotros. Les daré un corazón que me conoz-ca, porque yo soy el Señor. Ellos serán mi pueblo, y yo seré su Dios, porque volverán a mí de todo corazón. (Jer. 24:7) Que o quienes son mis dio-ses? En estas ultimas semanas de esta tempora-da santa, hagamos un inventario de nuestras vi-das, volvamos a Dios, pidamos perdón por nues-tro orgullo y arrogancia, y dejemos a Dios ser Dios. Reflexión de Anne-Marie d’Abadie Barrilleaux

En JN 12:20-33, escuchamos sobre la llegada ho-ra de Jesús. Jesús dice, “El que ama su vida, la pierde” (JN 12:25). Nosotros en LIFETEEN y Edge estamos de acuerdo con la declaración del autor de LIFETEEN. “Cuando dejamos de perseguir co-sas que finalmente no nos satisfarán, y cuando nos enamoramos mas de Dios, podemos traer vida al mundo y tener inmensa alegría.” Únete a nosotros para un evento de Edge o LIFETEEN mientras exploramos maneras de separarnos de ciertas cosas y enamorarnos más de Dios.

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul.

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-nos ven a mi

corazón espiritualmente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.

Please pray for our military and others serving overseas • Por favor, ore por los miembros del militar y por los otros que están sirviendo en otros paises:
