The second reading, from the book of Revelation, reports possible if not for the generosity of our parishioners with their John’s mystical vision of the Son of Man, who proclaims, “Once I was dead, but now I live” (Revelation 1:18). The Gospel gathers everyone time, talent, and treasure. God Bless! but Thomas to see the Risen Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit from him.

Sunday of Divine Mercy

Reflecting on God’s Word Most of us find ourselves remembering a mixture of both good times and bad times. We are able to call up the blessings, those times when we lie back on the grass, hands behind our head, gazing at clouds and dreaming of how they shape themselves into silhouettes of what we’ve known and where we’ve been, a scrapbook of images dear to us. We hang on to such times.

But other memories come along as well, clouds drearier if not also stormier. Adolescence, maybe ~ it can still taste like a copper penny. Or the growing-up relationship we once had with a parent ~ some still limp from it, a bruised or broken spirit that never healed the way it should have. Or the feeling that comes from never having made the team ~ not the basketball team or love’s team or even life’s team. It’s as if we got on the wrong bus when everyone left for the game, and ever after we gaze through the window at all the other buses filled with could’ve-been friends who never wave back.

Mercifully life moves on. And if we’re blessed, it moves on into goodnesses of other sorts. Yet not without the scars, those ways our flesh has of remembering. In some ways they become the buoys that point out the deep-water channel in the river of life, markers for safe sailing as well as for rocky beds that rip us open.

So we remember the wounds, which is what Thomas did. They marked the pain for him, but they also marked the real Jesus. He knew that if the wounds into which he would put his hands were real, so would Jesus be, and so also the demise of death. For Thomas it was the wounds that proved resurrection and so moved him into faith. ~ Rev. Joseph J. Juknialis

Living God’s Word We all doubt; it is the essence of faith. The difference is in where we look for renewed strength and reaffirmed faith. For some the thermometer or measuring stick is the calm of life. For others it is in our wounded helplessness that we come to faith simply because we recognize that the new life that comes is not our doing.

Happy Anniversary Happy Birthday
