Second Sunday of Easter

This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. The resurrection is fresh in our minds this week as we ponder the awesome love, mercy and forgiveness that our Lord offers us. This mercy is a most precious gift, more valuable than gold. The Lord call us to embrace the power and the mystery of the resurrection. We are like Thomas, we have our own doubts, fears and pain. None of us walk through life without doubts and trials, but we are reassured by the first words spoken by Jesus after the resurrection: “Peace be with you”. We all invited to stand with Thomas and proclaim our humble prayer “My Lord and my God”! In this Easter season we are called to live out and share the Easter promise. Christ is risen! We are all called as disciples to go out despite our fears to proclaim our faith in word and action.
