The
second Sunday of Easter has come to be seen as divine mercy Sunday. As Jesus
appears to his disciples he no longer calls to mind that they deserted him when
he needed them most, he doesn’t mention the betrayal of Judas, and neither does
he speak of the denial of Peter. As the word says I have cast all their sins
behind my back. He empowers the apostles by breathing on them the Holy Spirit
to do same. He patiently brings to faith again doubting Thomas. As we remember
how much of his mercy we have received let us be also merciful to others.
For the sake of his
sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world
