The Sunday of the Divine Mercy (A) Acts 2:42-47 | Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24 | 1 Peter 1: 3-9 | John 20:19-31 The readings for this Divine Mercy Sunday remind us that mercy is not passive—it moves us to act for the good of others, sustains us with living hope in the midst of suffering, and reveals Jesus who meets our human weakness with compassion and understanding. In the lives of Maximilian Kolbe, Faustina Kowalska, and Pope John Paul II, we see that while reflecting God’s mercy is difficult, it is truly possible—and powerfully transformative.
Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord (A) Acts 10:34A, 37-43 | Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23 | 1 Corinthians 5:6B-8 | John 20:1-9 The psalmist prays today, “This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad!". On this Easter Sunday, let us remember that our faith is bigger than life, and that Jesus is more powerful than death. By rising back to life, Christ has opened, for everyone, a path that leads to Life. He invites us now to put off our old corrupt self and be transformed anew.
