Acts 5:12-16 | Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24 | Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19 | John 20:19-31

​Though Easter Sunday has already passed, the Easter season is far from over. In fact, the joy of Easter continues for 50 days—stretching all the way to Pentecost Sunday, which falls on June 8 this year. Today, as we celebrate the Sunday of the Divine Mercy, we are lovingly reminded that Jesus longs to make us whole again. But for us to truly receive this gift of restoration, we must learn to trust fully in His mercy. Yes, it’s only human to wrestle with doubt or hold back in fear—but even in our uncertainty, Jesus gently calls us to draw near. He invites us to bring our wounds, our brokenness, and our questions before Him, trusting that His mercy is greater than anything that weighs us down. To help us reflect more deeply on this beautiful truth, I’d like to share some insights inspired by the life and witness of our Holy Father, Pope Francis—a shepherd who continues to echo Christ’s message of compassion and mercy in our world today.

Acts 10:34A, 37-43 | Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 | 1 Corinthians 5:6B-8 | John 20:1-9

​The psalmist says today, "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad!" On this Easter Sunday, let's remember that our faith is stronger than life itself, and Jesus is more powerful than death. By rising from the dead, Christ has opened a path to true life for all of us. He’s inviting us to let go of our old ways and embrace a new, transformed life in Him.

Isaiah 50:4-7 | Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24 | Philippians 2:6-11 | Luke 22:14—23:56

Today, we begin the most sacred week of our liturgical calendar. The readings presented to us offer an opportunity to contemplate Jesus' journey to the Resurrection through His Passion. Let us pray for the graces of patient endurance, humble obedience, and discernment.

Isaiah 43:16-21 | Psalm 126:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 6 | Philippians 3:8-14 | John 8:1-11

​As we stand just one week away from Holy Week, the Church invites us to reflect on the power of mercy and transformation. When others wrong us, our first instinct is often anger or a desire for justice. But today’s Gospel challenges us to look beyond our emotions and respond with the same forgiveness that God offers us. This Fifth Sunday of Lent reminds us to let go of resentment, choose what is right, and become instruments of God’s love in the way we treat others.
