As we continue to celebrate the Easter season, all three Scripture Readings show the transformative power of belief in Jesus’ resurrection. Saint John tell us that we become children of God through this belief. Thomas acknowledges Jesus as Lord and God in the Gospel. The Apostles, according to our first reading, go on to create an ideal community by proclaiming Jesus’ resurrection in Jerusalem.
Today is also Divine Mercy Sunday. We celebrate today the mercy that is stronger than any fault, any wrong, any sin, the mercy that always seek to reconcile us with the Lord—the mercy that led God to send the Son to win us our salvation. Let us always remember that God is always a merciful, loving, forgiving God.
