Divine Mercy Sunday

Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. His love is everlasting.

Let the house of Israel say, His mercy endures forever.”

Let the house of Aaron say, “His mercy endures forever.”

Let those who fear the Lord say, “His mercy endures forever.”

Psalm 118

On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

John 20:19-22

Jesus’s healing ministry was intended to open people’s eyes, ears, and hearts to recognize that in him God’s healing power was present.

We can never say, “I love you” to God. We can only say, “I love you, too.” This is because, from our first moment of life, God has tenderly whispered to each of us, over and over, “I love you. I love you.”

In the Love of Jesus,

For Reflection:

Throughout this Year of Mercy, let us reach out to Our God to receive an abundance of mercy. Let us place our complete trust in Our Lord’s constant and abiding presence, in our hearts and in each other. Are we ready to pour out mercy on our sisters and brothers? Let us be merciful, as our heavenly Father is merciful.
