Divine Mercy Sunday Psalm 118
Again we sing the Easter song of Psalm 118 in celebration of this holiest of seasons which lasts to Pentecost.
Chapter 2 of Acts presents an idyllic view of the earliest days of the Church. Days marked by awe, the teaching and fellowship of the Apostles, the continuation of the Eucharist in the breaking of the bread, prayer, and wonders and signs done by the Apostles. A time of holding all things in common, of caring for all, of glad and generous hearts, of praising God and of goodwill, and a time of remarkable growth in the numbers of the faithful.
Our response is to offer praise to God and to rejoice in our salvation:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever.” …and… “The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.”
If you have a few minutes, why not look prayerfully at psalm 118, today’s psalm? In a spirit of quiet personal celebration of Easter. Why not make our home in Jesus: as Jesus makes his home in us?
Through ShareLife, you provide safety to those in need
Your kindness makes it possible for refugees to create a sanctuary here in Canada, providing hope and new beginnings to our brothers and sisters in need. Like Hetvi, who came to Canada seeking refuge but found her hope shattered by her husband’s control and abuse. Isolated and desperate, her cries for help initially went unheard. Because you care, she found solace through Catholic Crosscultural Services (CCS), a Catholic Charities agency you support through ShareLife. Here, she received housing support and counselling in her native language, as well as financial and legal assistance, food banks, childcare, and healthcare. The Office for Refugees of the Archdiocese of Toronto is another agency you support through ShareLife, facilitating critical care for refugees.
Director Deacon Rudy Ovcjak says: “On behalf of the thousands of refugees who have been forced to flee their homes and native lands, and who now find refuge in Canada—a land of freedom and peace—I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible kindness and generosity. Your unwavering support allows our office to sponsor hundreds of refugees each year, the majority of whom are Christians fleeing persecution for their faith in Christ.”
The second ShareLife Sunday of the year is April 26th. Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.
Thank you for your generous support of Rosalie Hall and the Good Shepherd Centre.
Your food donations are so important as numbers of people in need continue to increase. Please check the expiry dates before donating.

“The life story programme provides an opportunity to stop, take stock, and look back over the process of life in order to gain deeper understanding, clearer perspective and a more integrated view.

Members of the Ministry for Maturing Adults will facilitate the reflection on life experience in each decade of life. From these reflections, the participants will write stories that are significant to them. Later on, each person will choose what they wish to share from their personal reflection and writing.

Easter Sunday Psalm 118
This thanksgiving psalm and song of victory encourages us to rejoice, be glad, and give thanks. It’s our response to the sermon of Peter as recorded in Acts, chapter 10.
There Peter summarizes the work of Jesus, from his baptism, through his teaching, doing good and healing the sick, to his passion, death and resurrection.
Our response: our faith in the goodness of God whose love is steadfast, our hope that we shall live forever, and our love for Jesus, the one rejected by the builders who becomes the cornerstone of the Church, the People of God.
Psalm 118 begins and ends with this same line:
“O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endures forever!”
Mid-psalm, after the psalmist has described his distress and difficulties, he exclaims:
“The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”
This psalm gives us the language we need to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord. No wonder the Church selects Psalm 118 for today’s liturgy.
With your support of ShareLife, despair turns into hope
When Eulogio learned his wife was pregnant — not just with one baby, but with twins — his joy multiplied. He dreamed of raising David and Emmanuel with the same love and care he had given his firstborn, determined to provide them with a warm home and a future full of possibility.
But then, a devastating accident cost Eulogio his job, leaving his family without a reliable way to put food on the table or keep warm in the bitter cold. The weight of hunger and uncertainty grew heavier each day. Because of your kindness, ShareLife and Canadian Food for Children were able to step in, ensuring this family had food to sustain them. But there are more families in need. With your gift to ShareLife, you can enable more fathers like Eulogio to hold their children close and carry the strength to face tomorrow.
Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.
Thank you to the volunteers who prepared 42 casseroles for March. For April, your prepared frozen casseroles will be collected at all the Masses on the weekend of April 25th/26th to be delivered to the Good Shepherd Centre.
More volunteers are urgently needed to help feed the hungry in our city. For more information, please contact the Parish Office at 416 221 8866.

Palm (Passion) Sunday, Psalm 22
This responsorial psalm speaks of the suffering servant, Jesus the Christ. Who in his anguish takes on our anguish. He takes on our condition and relieves it. He dies and destroys death forever.
One line among many from Isaiah shouts to us over the centuries: the Lord God teaches me to speak a word to the weary. In Jesus the Suffering Servant we see the Word of God, the love of God conquering all, a love without limit, speaking to the weary. A love for all time, all places, all situations.
Jesus cries out the words of Psalm 22 from the cross.
“My God, my God! Why have you forsaken me?”
This is the prayer of Jesus; we can make it ours.

Fifth Sunday of Lent, Psalm 130
One of the seven penitential psalms (Pss 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143), and sometimes known as the “De profundis” (out of the depths), Psalm 130 is a song of deep hope in the mercy, forgiveness, redemption given to all peoples by God.
The readings for today all emphasize that God conquers death.
The reading from Ezechiel contains the powerful voice of God claiming: “I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves. I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live.”
To this, the psalmist advises us to hope in the Lord: “For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is great power to redeem. It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.”
Such teachings are the context for Jesus’ teachings and actions, including today’s reading of John’s most moving Gospel account of the raising of Lazarus.
Each Sunday of Lent prepares us for the passion, death, and resurrection of the Lord which we celebrate intensely next Sunday through Holy Week to Easter.
ShareLife Celebrates 50 Years!
Special collections will be taking place this weekend, marking 50 years since Archbishop Philip Pocock made a bold and compassionate decision that would shape our community for generations: the founding of ShareLife. Building on a legacy of charitable giving in the Archdiocese of Toronto that stretches back to 1927, Archbishop Pocock launched ShareLife in 1976—an appeal rooted in the belief that every life matters, at every stage. Today, his vision lives on through more than 40 ShareLife-funded agencies providing unconditional care to people in need—regardless of religion, background, or circumstance and through people like you who make their work happen. Our parish goal this year is $185,000.
Next Weekend, March 28th – 29th
Your prepared frozen casseroles will be collected at all the Masses next weekend for delivery to the Good Shepherd Centre. Many more volunteers are needed to help feed the hungry in our city.
Three recipes are available on St. Gabriel’s website. Printed copies of the recipes are also available in the Parish Office. Pans can also be picked up here in the office. Please remember to mark the label on the pan lid with the name of the casserole. For more information, you may contact Irene Albrecht at 416 221-2791.
Fair Trade coffee will be sold after all the Masses next weekend, March 21st/22nd. The cost is $7.00 per bag.
On April 12th, we will transplant the lettuce seedlings our young parishioners started into our parish garden.
With spring just around the corner, we are preparing for another beautiful harvest season and would love your help. If you are interested in tending the garden with us, please reach out to the Ministry at garden@stgabrielsparish.ca.
We look forward to growing together!

Third Sunday of Lent – Psalm 23
The son of Jesse chosen by the Lord was David; the one no one thought about. He spent his time in the fields caring for the sheep. However, it was he whom the Lord directed Samuel to anoint as King in the presence of his brothers.
A central and key image of our faith is that God is our shepherd, caring for us as a good shepherd does for their sheep.
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
This great Creator God is beyond all things, creates all things, is infinite. The universe we know, all past and future universes are as a speck of dust, nothing at all by comparison with God.
This God, Father, Son and Spirit, is our shepherd, loves us eternally, totally, infinitely, even became one of us, so strong is their love for us. Food for our faith.
You can help men answer God’s call to priesthood by supporting ShareLife
God planted the seed of a priestly vocation in Rev. Mr. Moonjun Alphonse Choi’s heart as a child. He later entered St. Augustine’s Seminary, where God led him through moments of joy, deep reflection, and a faith that continues to grow. His path has been one of both grace and challenge, yet he has walked forward without fear—because of you.
Your generous heart lifted the burden of financial worry, allowing Rev. Mr. Moonjun Alphonse Choi to embrace his calling fully and prepare for a life of service to the Church. God-willing, he will be ordained into priesthood this May. Because of your faithful generosity to ShareLife, many more young men will have the opportunity to answer God’s call.
The first ShareLife Sunday collection is on March 22nd. Please give at the parish using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.
Good Shepherd provided 376,473 meals in 2025 to people who would otherwise go hungry as well as 128 shelter beds. Please think about volunteering to help feed our less fortunate sisters and brothers. Three different recipes are available in the Parish Office or online at the Parish website. Casserole pans are also available in the Parish Office. This might be an excellent way to share your talents for the Stewardship Program .
The Food bank is once again in need of egg cartons. Please deposit your contributions in the box provided in the Gathering Space. Many thanks for your support of those facing food insecurity.
