Sunday, April 11- Divine Mercy Sunday
John 20:19-31
Jesus appeared to the disciples despite locked doors, breathed on them so that they could receive the Holy Spirit, and gave them
the power to forgive sins in his name. Thomas, who was not present, refused to believe without seeing Jesus for himself. Jesus
appeared again when Thomas was present, and told him, “Blest are they who have not seen and have believed.”

Happy Easter!
We wish one another this joyful greeting on Easter Sunday, and yet, for Catholics, Easter is so much more
than a single celebration. Easter is so important that we cannot celebrate it in one day. To fully celebrate
the Easter season it takes 50 days, or a Pentecost (the Greek word for 50). And each one of these 50 days, in
fact, is Easter. That is why the Church speaks of the Sundays of Easter, rather than the Sundays after Easter.
Why are we so joyful at Eastertime? What are some ways we can celebrate the Easter season as a family?
How can we spread the good news of Jesus’ resurrection every day?

LITURGY CORNER
In the 1930s, Our Lord Jesus requested through Saint
Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun, that a Feast of Mercy
be established and solemnly celebrated in His Church
on the First Sunday after Easter, every year. The Lord
said that this feast would be the “last hope of
salvation.”
