Divine Mercy
We in the Catholic Church celebrate God’s mercy
in a special way on the Sunday after Easter. As
it has come to be called, “Mercy Sunday” is a
time of extraordinary graces. Jesus said to St.
Faustina, “My daughter, tell the whole world
about My inconceivable mercy. I desire that the
Feast of Mercy (the Sunday after Easter) be a
refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially
poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open.”
In this week's episode of “Weekly Wisdom” Fr.
Corapi speaks about the mercy of God and the
necessity of receiving that mercy and dispensing
that mercy to others. The essential prerequisite
of trust, “the vessel with which we are enabled
to carry away mercy and grace” as well as
humility and the corporal and spiritual works of mercy are considered.
At a time when Christianity in general and the
Catholic Church in particular are under violent
attack from a perversely secularized government
and social climate, we must not be timid and
defensive. Recalling the words spoken by General
Norm Cota on the beaches of Normandy to the
American forces being shredded by enemy machine
gun fire and artillery, the General asked what
unit this was. Someone responded, “Fifth Ranger
Battalion, Sir.” The General roared, “Well, Rangers, lead the way!”
Christians, you are pinned down on the beaches of
life in an immoral world. Catholics, lead the
way! The day may seem dark and perilous and you
may be fearful of “dying” at the hands of the
enemy on the beaches of social immorality. As the
General said, “We are dying on the beaches. Let’s
go inland and die there!” Charge the enemy gun
positions, don’t retreat. Surrender is not an
option. Catholics, lead the way! If God is for
you, who can be against you! Immerse yourself in
the mercy of Jesus, take a deep breath, and
charge the enemy. Make a frontal assault on the
very gates of hell. We’re outnumbered, but we
already know the ultimate outcome of the war—We
win through, with, and in the mercy of Jesus Christ.

The Cross Part Two
Now Playing! April 4th: "The Cross: Wellspring of
Mercy" Part Two--In this episode of Weekly
Wisdom, Father finishes his talk on the Cross of
Christ. Uniting our suffering with the Cross of
Christ brings true power and meaning to our lives
on this earth. During this season of penance, we
need to understand this and live it more than
ever. This powerful episode is excerpted from a
very rare and unavailable taped presentation
Father Corapi gave to a live audience in 2001,
and will be presented to Weekly Wisdom viewers in two parts.

Holy Week 2009
April 11th: "The Blessings of Holy Week"--It's
Holy Week! We are releasing this episode of
Weekly Wisdom a few days early to give you a
chance to take in the meaning of this
presentation during the blessed days of Holy
Thursday and Good Friday. For any human to answer
the timeless question, "why are we here?", one
only need to look at the Cross of Christ. Here we
see true man and true God. Here we see the
meaning of all our sufferings. There is no better
time to reaffirm our faith and give ourselves to
Christ than during this blessed time that is the
foundation of our Catholic Faith, the time when
we celebrate Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection.
