Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Easter and the Sunday of Divine Mercy. On this Sunday we have the explanation of our goal for going to Church every Sunday. It is the reason to be in the community of the Church to meet Jesus who is alive and who brings us peace.
Today we need peace in our lives. We see many dangers starting from the war in Ukraine to the danger of our own health which can be cut off by some accident or sickness. We need the power to overcome it. And we see today that the only power to save us is Jesus Christ and his resurrection.
The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the same Eucharist which the disciples of Jesus celebrated on that first day of the week and the week after, when Jesus came and said to them “Peace be with you”. This Eucharist is the power for us to believe in the resurrection of Jesus and our own resurrection after our death. We have only to confess as Thomas said “My Lord and My God”.

One Main Point
“My Lord and my God!”. Thomas expresses, not what he has seen, but what he now believes, and it is the complete truth.
Reflections
- Imagine you are in the room with the disciples when Jesus appears. Look at the disciples’ reactions, at Jesus as he blesses you. What do you have to say to Jesus?
- In what ways are we like or unlike Thomas?
- What (or who) has helped me to believe in Jesus and have life?
