                SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL                            

Thomas was a modern man, finding faith hard, like many people today.

He was let down by the others who ran away, the leader denied Jesus, his trust in the group of apostles had been abused. He didn’t want much more to do with them. He had got tired of it all. He wanted to believe but needed

 a sort of proof. But faith grows within a community. That’s why we baptize children, because faith grows from the beginning of life. We find growth

in our faith through the community - for example, in the Mass, shared rosary, sharing our faith in a group, a good spiritual book, sharing our doubts but never closing the door to Jesus, sharing our faith in thanks

for what our faith gives us.

 

DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

 

LITURGY OF THE WORD

 

1st Reading ACTS 5: 12-16

(Signs & Wonders)

Through signs & wonders -miracles- the Lord supports the works of the Apostles & leads the people to the Faith.

 

                              RESPONSORIAL PSALM  118                             

(The Lord’s Goodness)

“Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love is everlasting”

 

 

                2nd Reading REVELATIONS 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19                           

(The First & the Last)

In symbol & allegory the glory of the Lord is depicted.

 

In today’s Gospel of JOHN 20:19-31

(Living Faith)

Jesus is risen; he comes & stands before his disciples. He encourages

them & strengthens their faith.
