2nd Sunday of Easter: God is Merciful

Today's powerful Gospel has Jesus walking through the locked doors of the Upper Room to meet the men who were his friends and disciples but most recently had abandoned him in his hour of need. He has one word for them: Peace. This is Divine Mercy. Having received divine mercy, the disciples are then sent (after having been strengthened for the task with the Holy Spirit) to share divine mercy with others. Let us receive divine mercy and share divine mercy!
