He was an Umbrian, born in the Italian town of Todi, had risen rapidly in the church and had served his predecessor, Pope Theodore I, as papal nuncio in Constantinople. At this time a good number of Christians were stating that Jesus, though divine, did not have the will of a human being. As soon as Martin became pope, he called a council to condemn this notion. This was a brave act, since the wrong ideas were supported by the Emperor Constans II. The emperor speedily took his revenge. Though a sick man, the pope was brought by force to Constantinople. For three months he lay in prison. Then at a trial at which he was not allowed to defend himself, he was sentenced to death. The dying Patriarch of Constantinople pleaded with the Emperor to spare Martin s life. Although the emperor heard the Patriarch s plea he merely banished Martin to Kherson in the Crimea; such a sick man could not be expected to survive such cruelty and he died in 656.

The Solemnity of the Annunciation celebrates the coming of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to announce to her the special mission God had chosen for her in being the mother of His only son. We are continually reminded of the importance of this feast to our salvation in various devotional prayers. Two examples that highlight the importance of this feast are the joyous mysteries of the Rosary and the Angelus. The Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord reminds us to commemorate the moment when the Word of God the Father took human nature upon Himself. We are also called to remember that although Jesus has resurrected and is sitting at the right hand of the Father in Heaven, He remains present with us in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, in the Living Word and in the Holy Tabernacles. There He continuously longs for the moments when all the faithful will manifest their love for Him by assembling before Him in His cherished Temple on earth. UROCZYSTOŚĆ ZWIASTOWANIA PAŃSKIEGO Uroczystość Zwiastowania Pańskiego świętuje przyjście Archanioła Gabriela do Maryi, by zwiastować Jej, że to na Niej spełnią się obietnice proroków, a Jej Syn, którego pocznie w cudowny i dziewiczy sposób za sprawą Ducha Świętego, będzie Synem samego Boga.O znaczeniu tego święta dla naszego zbawienia przypominają w różne modlitwy, na przykład: radosne tajemnice różańca i Anioł Pański. Powinniśmy pamiętać, że chociaż Jezus zmartwychwstał i siedzi po prawicy Ojca w niebie, On pozostaje obecny z nami w sakramencie Eucharystii, w Żywym Słowie. On ciągle tęskni za chwilą, gdy wszyscy wierni zamanifestują swoją miłość do Niego przez łączenie się przed Nim w Jego ukochanej świątyni na ziemi.

5 "I shall sing forever the Lord's mercy." (Ps 89 [88]) This Sunday is popularly known as Mercy of God Sunday. Between 1930 and 1938 Christ appeared to Sister Faustina, a Sister of Mercy in Poland who initiated the Divine Mercy devotion. She was canonized on April 30, 2000, the Sunday after Easter, the Feast of Divine Mercy. On Good Friday, 1937, Jesus requested that Blessed Faustina make a special novena before the Feast of Mercy, from Good Friday through the following Saturday. Jesus also asked that a picture be painted according to the vision of Himself as the fountain of mercy. He gave her a chaplet to be recited and said that it was appropriate to pray the chaplet at three o'clock each afternoon (the Hour of Great Mercy). This feast was extended to the entire Catholic Church by Pope John Paul II on April 30, 2000, the day that he canonized Saint Faustina. "Yes, the first Sunday after Easter is the Feast of Mercy, but there must also be deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to our neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to absolve yourself from it." (Diary 742) In several entries of her diary, Faustina recorded promises of Grace and Mercy associated to the Feast of Divine Mercy on Mercy Sunday. Jesus Stated: The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain the complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. (Diary 699)On March 23, 1937, Faustina wrote in her diary that she had a vision that the feast of Divine Mercy would be celebrated in her local chapel, and would be attended by large crowds, and that the same celebration would be held in Rome attended by the Pope. She wrote: The crowd was so enormous that the eye could not take it all in. Everyone was participating in the celebrations. NIEDZIELA MIŁOSIERDZIA BOŻEGO Święto Miłosierdzia obchodzone jest w pierwszą niedzielę po Wielkanocy, czyli II Niedzielę Wielkanocną, zwaną obecnie Niedzielą Miłosierdzia Bożego. Wpisał je do kalendarza liturgicznego najpierw Franciszek kard. Macharski dla archidiecezji krakowskiej (1985), a potem niektórzy biskupi polscy w swoich diecezjach. Na prośbę Episkopatu Polski Ojciec Święty Jan Paweł II w 1995 roku wprowadził to święto dla wszystkich diecezji w Polsce. W dniu kanonizacji Siostry Faustyny 30 kwietnia 2000 roku Papież ogłosił to święto dla całego Kościoła. Inspiracją dla ustanowienia tego święta było pragnienie Jezusa, które przekazała Siostra Faustyna. Pan Jezus powiedział do niej: Pragnę, ażeby pierwsza niedziela po Wielkanocy była świętem Miłosierdzia (Dz. 299). Pragnę, aby święto Miłosierdzia, było ucieczką i schronieniem dla wszystkich dusz, a szczególnie dla biednych grzeszników. W dniu tym otwarte są wnętrzności miłosierdzia Mego, wylewam całe morze łask na dusze, które się zbliżą do źródła miłosierdzia Mojego. Która dusza przystąpi do spowiedzi i Komunii świętej, dostąpi zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar. W dniu tym otwarte są wszystkie upusty Boże, przez które płyną łaski (Dz. 699). W wielu objawieniach Pan Jezus określił nie tylko miejsce święta w kalendarzu liturgicznym Kościoła, ale także motyw i cel jego ustanowienia, sposób przygotowania i obchodzenia oraz wielkie obietnice. Największą z nich jest łaska zupełnego odpuszczenia win i kar związana z Komunią świętą przyjętą w tym dniu po dobrze odprawionej spowiedzi (bez przywiązania do najmniejszego grzechu), w duchu nabożeństwa do Miłosierdzia Bożego, czyli w postawie ufności wobec Boga i czynnej miłości bliźniego.
