Pope John Paul II designated the Second Sunday of Easter as Sunday of the Divine Mercy. It seeks to emphasise what we have celebrated – the Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord – as a reminder of God's desire for all people to be saved. However, like Thomas and the disciples, we may also doubt the Lord's power and choose to live in fear, especially when the world is still filled with so much sorrow and suffering.
Let us not live in fear or despair like the disciples, but believe in our risen Lord, who has conquered death and sin. Let God's words to the disciples after His resurrection, "Shalom, Peace be with you," dwell in our hearts today so that we can boldly celebrate the Easter joy in our lives.
