Easter, 2nd Sunday (Divine Mercy) Happy Doubting Thomas Sunday! The early church fathers saw Sunday as the first day of the New Creation. Christians rest on Sunday as a preparation for the eternal Sunday, the great Easter that is heaven.
Jesus appears on Sunday and offers his Apostles peace. He breathes into them the Spirit of life, a new divine life. He is, "the first and the last, the one who lives." Once he was dead, but now he is alive forever and ever. He I holds the keys to death and the netherworld. Our Almighty Lord is humbly walking with us in our everyday life.
I hope that every Christian has experienced the love of Jesus for himself. Our eyes need to be opened to the ongoing presence of Jesus in our daily life. The most important way that Jesus is present is in Christians. People in the Acts of the Apostles are seeing Jesus in Peter. On February 11, 2001, I saw Jesus in Pope St. John Paul II. Most people will come to believe in the Risen Jesus when they see him in you!
