Today’s Gospel

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other

disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Now a week later his disciples were again inside

and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and

said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do

not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe be-cause you have seen me?

r Blessed are those who

have not seen and have believed.”

John 20:24-29

Second Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday April 28, 2019 4

Pope St. John Paul II said

that Divine Mercy is THE message for the third

millennium and God's gift to our time. There is

nothing that mankind needs

more than Christ's Divine Mercy. To help us avail

ourselves of that loving mercy, Fr. Brooks focuses

on what we know of God's Mercy, our response to his Love, how we can become merciful to others, and how

to become apostles of mercy.

Bonus: At the end of this presentation, the Divine Mercy chaplet is led by Fr. Francis Peffley,

Mark Forrest (an Irish tenor), and Muriel Forrest.
