Homily from the Second Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday

All the darkness of the world cannot defeat the light of a single candle. Enjoy this week's homily.

Sermon for Sunday, April 7, 2024 - Octave of Easter/Divine Mercy Sunday.

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in Labuan Bajo, Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia. Acts of the Apostles 4: 32-35; Rs psalm 118: 2-4.16b-18.22-24; 1 John 5: 1-6; John 20: 19-31 PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL MERCY   The theme for our meditation on this Second Sunday of Easter, or Sunday of Divine Mercy is: Physical and Spiritual Mercy. We generally understand the word “mercy” as God's perfect sacrifice of Himself to save mankind. This quality of mercy is most clearly understood and lived out through acts of love. However, this act of love does not mean the sharing of love in giving help or assistance and then reciprocating that help. The act of love in the sense of mercy is also not like the sharing of love between parents-children, teacher-students, between friends, and a sort of male and female affection. Acts of love based on the commonresponsibilities in relation with our duties and our respect for the rights of neighbors are also not identified as the acts of mercy.   Divine Mercy which in its original word misericordia and known also as compassion is a form of love with a top-down movement. God, who is perfect in love, gives and pays His attention to us humans who are in trouble, danger, sickness, and suffering. This is also like the acts of those persons who have more goodsand abilities, share their mercy and generosity with those who are in need.   The risen Christ enables us to have mercy for our neighbors. Today's first letter of Saint John says that through this act of mercy we can overcome the world. There are two forms of this act of mercy. The first is the physical act of mercy which aims to fulfill the bodily and temporal needs of those in difficulties. Theimportant purpose of this mercy is to live together in a one heart one soul manner, through which goods and things are managed in such a way that those who are in need do not suffer, not becoming destitute, and eventually die. This compassion or mercy is losing its quality when our life together is full with competition, quarrel, hostility, evil, and dispute over goods or things of the world.   The second is the spiritual act of mercy which aims to overcome the spiritual limitations and sickness of our neighbors. Disadvantages or difficulties such as ignorance, slow learning and lack of understanding like the Apostle Thomas, impatience, ignorance, indifference, aloofness, and isolation are the examples of mental and spiritual weakness that must be overcome with spiritual acts of mercy. If there is no tolerance for impatience, no teaching for the foolish or lack of understanding, inclusion or involvement for the indifferent, aloof and isolated ones, there must be lack of spiritual compassion or mercy in this life. Our Risen Lord had been so burning with all His compassionate love to respond to the needs of the people during His time on earth. And so, let us be active in physical and spiritual mercy as a manifestation of the Divine Mercy whose solemnity we are celebrating today.   Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... O God Almighty, may we always believe in Your strength and mercy so that we are also able to freely and generously love our neighbors. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of the Father ... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/media-la-porta/message

Divine Mercy Sunday

Father Mike Reinhardt, associate pastor

 Join Gary as he reflects on the Mass Readings for the 2nd Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday). You'll discover just how merciful the Lord really is!

Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday) Solemnity; Liturgical Color: WhiteTrue power pardonsIn the Nicene Creed, we say that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father. When a judge walks into a courtroom, the bailiff announces, “All rise,” and the judge sits in judgment. In his see city, a bishop rests in his cathedra, and in his palace, a king reigns from his throne. A president signs legislation while seated at his desk. The chair is a locus of power. The power that emanates from such seats of authority judges, condemns, and sentences. Today's feast reminds us, though, that authority also exercises power by granting mercy. When a judge pronounces innocence, the sentence is no less binding than one of guilt. The absolved exits the court into a new day, ready to begin again. And when the priest's voice whispers through the screen, “I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” guilt evaporates into thin air. The purest and truest expression of power is the granting of mercy.Mercy is a superabundance of justice, not an exception to it. When faced with a wound to the common good, those responsible for repairing the damage do not have two contrary options: justice or mercy. Justice and mercy are not mutually exclusive. Mercy is a form of justice. Mercy does not ignore the tears to the fabric of the common good slashed by crime and sin. Rightful authority notes the torn fabric, weighs the personal responsibility of the accused, and distributes justice precisely by granting mercy. Mercy does not turn a blind eye to justice but fulfills its obligations to justice by going beyond them. After all, one cannot be absolved of having done nothing. Similarly, where there is no guilt there is no need of mercy. When justice calls out, two words echo back off the hard walls: “condemnation” and “mercy.” Mercy runs parallel to, and beyond, the path of condemnation. This is the mercy we celebrate today, the mercy whose greatest practitioner is God Himself. Because He is the seat of all authority, God is also the seat of all mercy.God plays many roles in the life of the Christian—Creator, Savior, Sanctifier, and Judge. Our Creed teaches us that God the Son, seated at the Father's right hand, “will come in glory to judge the living and the dead,” both at the particular and at the final judgment. At that moment, it will serve us nothing to state, in excusing our sins, that “God understands.” Of course God understands. To state “God understands” is just another way to say that God is omniscient and all powerful. “God understands” implies that because God knows the powerful temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil, that He could not possibly judge man harshly. Yet “God understands” is a lazy manner of exculpating sinful behavior. When nose to nose with God one second after death, the repentant Christian should plead, instead, “Lord, have mercy.” Faced with the scandalous behavior of a friend or relative, the response should again be “Lord, have mercy.” Appealing to God's mercy will melt His heart. Appealing to His knowledge will not.The private revelations of Jesus Christ to Saint Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun and intense mystic who died in 1938, are the source of the profound spirituality of today's feast. Sister Faustina was a kind of Saint Catherine of Siena of the twentieth century. She lived a regimen of fasting, meditation, liturgical prayer, and close community life that would have crushed a less resilient soul. But Faustina persevered, amidst debilitating illnesses, sisterly jealousy, and respectful but questioning superiors. Her diaries are replete with the starkest of language from the mouth of Christ, showing that moral clarity precedes the call for mercy. Sister Faustina faithfully recorded Christ's manly commands in her diary. One of these commands expressly desired that the Divine Mercy be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter. In an age-old pattern familiar to an ancient Church, Saint Faustina's private revelations were challenged, filtered for theological truth, sifted for spiritual depth, and granted universal approbation by the only Christian religion which even claims to grant such. In the soundest proof of their authenticity, the profound simplicity of the Divine Mercy revelations and of their related devotions were intuitively grasped and adopted by the Catholic faithful the world over.Pope Saint John Paul II first inserted today's feast into the Roman calendar on April 30, 2000, the canonization day of Saint Faustina. John Paul II was also canonized on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2014. And so the Church's third millennium was launched with a new devotion that quickly eclipsed many older ones, a new piety rooted in the most ancient truths, a fresh appeal to a side of God that had not been fully understood in prior ages. Divine Mercy is the new face of God for the third millennium, a postmodern Sacred Heart. This is the God who leans in and waits with bated breath for us to whisper through the screen, “Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.” This is the God who at the end of time, whether our own time or all time, waits to hear from our lips those few prized words “Lord, have mercy.” Having heard that, He need not hear anything more. And having received that, we need not receive anything more.Divine Mercy, do not hold our sins against us. Be a merciful Father who judges us in the fullness of Your power, punishing when needed, but granting mercy when we need it more, most especially when we are too saturated with pride to request it.

Gospel of John, Chapter 20, verses 19-31Rather than look at the Gospel of the Day today, we go back 24 hours and read the Gospel from the Second Sunday of Easter - Divine Mercy Sunday. Our God doesn't leave us languishing in our guilt, our fear, our despair. Rather, God seeks us out and calms us w/ His very presence. For the essence of mercy is forgiveness.St. Mark, pray for us.Original Score written and performed by Bridget Zenk

April 24, 2022. 2nd Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday) homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how Jesus is able and desires to heal all of us, even if we do not experience physical healing here on earth. More importantly, Jesus gives His Church His power to forgive sins for spiritual healing.

Gain consolation and hope by grasping how deep Christ's love is for you. How? Listen now and contemplate with Fr. Chuck the symbolism of the wound in Jesus' side being deep enough for St. Thomas the Apostle to put his hand in it. Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday); April 24, 2022; Fr. Charles "Chuck" Wood; Acts 5:12-16; Ps 118 various verses; Rev 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19; Jn 20:19-31

Hear what the Lord might say to you, about everyday endurance for Christian living, through Fr. Chuck's special message for parish children and teens in this year's First Communion Mass. Most of the parish teens who were confirmed on April 23 participated in this Mass on April 24, at which several younger parishioners received Holy Communion for the first time. Second Sunday of Easter (Divine Mercy Sunday); April 24, 2022; Fr. Charles "Chuck" Wood; Acts 5:12-16; Ps 118 various verses; Rev 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19; Jn 20:19-31

Fr. Bryan gave this homily on the 2nd Sunday of Easter at St. Thomas Chaldean Catholic Church. He preached about internal wounds and if our internal wounds are not healed by Jesus then we too will wound and hurt others.
