Divine Mercy Sunday

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st READING ACTS 2:42-47

(The Christian Fellowship)

The faithful lived a common life, sharing all their goods.

The Apostles worked many miracles. They prayed together

and broke bread. Their number increased daily.

 

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 118

(The Lord’s Goodness)

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,

his love is everlasting.

 

2nd READING 1st LETTER OF SAINT PETER

(Love in Practice)

God, or Father, has given us a new hope in Jesus, a birthright kept in heaven. Although there may be suffering, this is at the same time a cause for rejoicing. Faith in Jesus will bring salvation.

 

THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 20:19-31

(Living Faith)

Jesus appears to the disciples, coming through locked doors. He shows them his hands and side. He greets them in peace and gives them power to forgive sins. A week later, Jesus appears directly to Thomas who now professes his belief.

Every year, eight cast silver roses make their way across North America from Canada to Mexico. The silver roses are then presented before Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of our continent, on her feast day in December. On Saturday May 16, our area has the opportunity to pray before a silver rose on its pilgrimage. Please join the Knights for this unique experience.
