Divine Mercy Sunday & K of C Super Weekend
It was a Marathon:
It had nothing to do with The Maras, who control the NFL NY Giants(LOL,LOL);
The 2nd Sunday Of Easter is also Divine Mercy Sunday, which was Promulgated a few years ago by Pope John Paul II;
This was a Veritable "Super Sunday" in Our Lady Of Mercy Parish in Forest Hills, on Kessel Street, between 70 & 71 Avenues, as Msgr Sherman Council #5103, known in Forest Hills as the Sponsor of The K of C Free Throw, for Forest Hills, Glendale, East Glendale, Middle Village & Vicinity, ran a Membership Drive & the #s look promising;
The Pastor, Msgr John Mc Gurl, native to Forest Hills, was encouraging us to come over to recruit Knights Of Columbus in his Parish. He's also seeking to take his 3rd Degree;
I was part of the Recruitment Contingent, along with other Council Officers & Past Grand Knights;
One Highlight of The Day was The Phillipino Mass & Party after the Mass. There was a Film on Divine Mercy in a Practical Sense on how the People in The Phillipines take care of their Elderly. There's a closeness Of Family in Filipino Society;
BTW, the Knights Of Columbus, are very strong in The Phillipines, since 1905;
On Healing & Curing, was a Homily for the 6PM Mass, as Fr Christopher from Nigeria, preached that Healing is not the same thing as Curing, as Curing is Medical & Healing is Spiritual Peace;
& some more people inquired about the Knights Of Columbus, after that Mass. It was a Good Day;
It had been 11 Years since the Last Membership Drive in OLM;
& it looks like we'll have Some More Workers For The Harvest;
