Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Last Sunday in the Gospel we learned from Jesus, that forgiveness is not an option for the Christian, but it is a necessity. Only by forgiving that we are forgiven, and by forgiveness that we are saved. It is a difficult lesson because sometimes we don't know how to forgive - always. It feels so difficult, but we know, that it is the only way to God. Saint John Paul II wrote an Encyclical - God is rich in Mercy. God always forgives the one that is repented. His Mercy is infinite.
Today, Jesus is teaching us about generosity of God, that goes beyond what human mind can capture, but it is perceived by a loving heart. It is in nature of God to be generous beyond human measure, to be generous infinitely, as He is infinite. The treasury of God's gifts never gets empty, He always has more to give. It is not difficult for us to understand it, but it is impossible for us to imitate it. God's giving is based on God's wisdom, He gives us what we need and not what we want.

Queridas Hermanas y Hermanos,
El Domingo pasado en el Evangelio aprendimos de Jesus, que el perdón no es una opción para el Cristiano, pero es una necesidad. Solo perdonando que seamos perdonados, y mediante el perdón que seamos salvos. Es una lección difícil porque a veces no sabemos perdonar, siempre. Se siente tan difícil, pero sabemos que es el único camino a Dios. San Juan Pablo II escribió una encíclica: Dios es rico en Misericordia. Dios siempre perdona al que se arrepiente. Su Misericordia es infinita.
Hoy, Jesus nos esta enseñando sobre la generosidad de Dios, que va mas alla de lo que la mente humana puede captar, pero es percibida por un corazón amoroso. Esta en la naturaleza de Dios ser generoso mas alla de la medida humana, ser infinitamente generoso, como El es infinito. El tesoro de los dones de Dios nunca se vacia, El Siempre tiene mas para dar. No nos es difícil entenderlo, pero no es imposible imitarlo. El dar de Dios se basa en la sabiduría de Dios, El nos da lo que necesitamos y no lo que queremos.

Dear Families,
Did your brother or sister ever get allowance when they did not do their chores?
It can feel unfair when someone gets paid when they did not work as hard as you did.
Jesus says, “The last will be first, and the first will be last.” Jesus is generous.
He reminds us there is room for everyone in his Church and in Heaven.
As a family, watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
When did you want to be first, but did not get to be?
Name something positive about being last or putting others first.
Family Prayer: Dear Jesus, show us how to put others first. Remind us that you love
all of us and you want us to love each other. Amen

The Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican tribunal that deals with matters of conscience, issued a decree on March 20th offering the spiritual assistance of special indulgences to people afflicted with COVID-19, to those in quarantine, to medical personnel caring for coronavirus patients and to all those who are praying for them. You can read the decreee below:
The gift of special Indulgences is granted to the faithful suffering from COVID-19 disease, commonly known as Coronavirus, as well as to health care workers, family members and all those who in any capacity, including through prayer, care for them.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer” (Rom 12: 12). The words written by Saint Paul to the Church of Rome resonate throughout the entire history of the Church and guide the judgment of the faithful in the face of all suffering, sickness and calamity.

From Deacon's Bench
By Deacon John
I wanted to take a moment to thank all those who have been reading my daily reflections. I really appreciate your taking time from your day to read what was written. I especially appreciate all those who took time to comment on the reflections.
Today I am writing to let you know that I’ll be taking some time off from writing the daily reflection. I began writing at the start of the COVID 19 lockdown, in the beginning of Lent.
Now that summer is here it’s time to recharge.
Please know that you are always in my prayers and daily intentions.
Please continue to pray for me. See you in church!
Peace and blessings
Deacon John
