Homily from 4-11-21

Easter is the season for saying "yes" in a culture that is constantly saying "no."  Like Doubting Thomas, we often find ourselves living in our own tombs, afraid of saying "yes" to the Good News around us, doubting that there really is hope and joy in this world.  But Divine Mercy Sunday and the season of Easter call us into something different, into a life of believing in those realities, even if we can't always see Christ or heaven with our own eyes.  We are an Easter people.  Alleluia is our song!  It's time to get out of the tomb!
