Campus Ministry Reflections
Since the year 2000 the Second Sunday of Easter has been observed in the Catholic Church as “Divine Mercy Sunday.” The Gospel for this Sunday is always the story from John’s Gospel of Jesus’ appearance to the disciples, first without Thomas, and a week later with Thomas present. At first glance, this might seem an odd pairing, “Divine Mercy” and “Doubting Thomas.” But from Jesus’ first appearance, and bestowal of peace and the gift of the Holy Spirit with the words, “Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,” we see that this is really all about mercy. Even Thomas’ absence and subsequent doubt gets folded into God’s boundless mercy, as upon examination of Christ’s wounds a week later he declares, “My Lord and my God!” And Jesus assures us that those who have not seen and yet believed (i.e. the rest of the Church since the time of Christ) are “blessed.” Divine Mercy turns fear into hope, doubt into faith, indifference into love. And this is just as true for us as it was for those first followers of Jesus. Happy Easter and God bless! – Fr. Thom
