From the Desk of Fr. Paul April 8, 2018 O Marvelous Wonder! Christ is truly Risen, dear brothers and sisters! Those of us who followed through His Passion and Death and wept over Him, were filled with awe and wonder and great joy last Sunday as we beheld His Holy Resurrection! We con- tinue to bask in the light of Christ’s Resurrection, which brings joy to the whole world! Those who have experienced the Risen Lord, realize that no one can ever rob them of that great joy! How good the Lord has been to each of us in His mercy! Once sinners have approached the Lord in repentance, He floods their souls with His Mercy! “Though our sins may be like scarlet, we become as white as snow.” On the Divine Mercy Sunday, our Lord wishes us to recall and give Him praise for what He has done for us in His mercy. He also wishes to save those, who now in the eleventh hour, have still not come to Him in the Sacrament of Confession, especially on this day when the floodgates of His mercy, emanating from His Sacred Heart, are wide open. Even the worst of sinners can be saved, if they but come to the Risen Lord in repentance and humility and confess their sins. Those who come to Him will meet Him as a Merciful Savior on the last day; but woe to those who persist in refusing the Savior’s love; for He will not grant them what they don’t want; and they risk His terrible justice when they die. His mercy or His justice: the choice is ours to make! Our Lord’s mercy is so evident in the way He treated His disciples after He rose from the dead. He forgave all their unbelief, most notably, that of Thomas. Think about it; our Lord was not put off by his disbelief and the rash words that he spoke, having refused to believe that the disciples and the women had seen the Lord on Easter. Out of compassion, He ap- peared to Thomas along with the others one week later, so that He might put an end to his disbelief and bring him to rejoice in the Resurrection, like the others. The Lord was not going to leave him out! Here we see the compassion of our Savior and His Divine Mercy manifest in an extraordinary way! It means there is hope for all the rest of us, because He does not want anyone to perish! “After Your wondrous Resurrection, O Lord, Source of all life, You entered the doors though they were locked. You filled Your disciples with joy, and in Your goodness, you gave them the Spirit of Truth. When You appeared to them, Thomas, who was called 'Twin', was not with them. Thus he did not believe in Your Resurrection and said to those who saw You: ‘Unless I place a finger in the mark of the nails, I will not believe that He is risen.’ In Your great mercy, You said to him, ‘Explore My wounds and doubt no longer; examine them and proclaim that I am the Living God!’ O marvelous wonder! For grass touches fire and is not consumed! Thomas places his hand into the fiery side of the Savior, and was not burned by touching Him. Your side was examined and touched by a mortal man and not consumed by Your Divinity, O Lover of mankind! 'Stop your unbelief and proclaim My Resurrection to the whole world!’” () And that is what Thomas did for the rest of His life; the doubter became a believer, who touched the Heart of Christ, that Burning Furnace of Charity! May we too, who have experienced His mercy, proclaim Him to the whole world! Divine Mercy Sunday First Reading: Acts 4:32-35 Gospel: John 20:19-31 This reading demonstrates how the community of the This Gospel reading gives us the familiar phrase “Doubt- early church shared everything they had. Although not ing Thomas.” But we should not overlook the messages mention by name here, St. Barnabas, a friend and com- other than the one of having faith.

He breathed on them, giving ceeds to the mission of spreading the Gospel. them the Holy Spirit as well as the authority to forgive sins.” This forgiveness is always important to remember, Second Reading: 1 John 5:1-6 especially on this Divine Mercy Sunday.
