I absolutely love Divine Mercy Sunday! It is one of my favorite Sundays of the year. When I read about God's Divine Mercy, I find it hard to believe that God can forgive so easily. I guess it challenges me to become a more forgiving person.
Today's Gospel was about "Doubting" Thomas. Because he wasn't there when the apostles saw Jesus alive, Thomas refused to believe without seeing. So, Jesus lovingly appeared to Thomas to prove that He rose from the dead. And what did Jesus say? Did He yell at Thomas and tell him he was an idiot for not believing? No. Jesus said, "Peace be with you." Wow, Jesus is just full of mercy! He was able to be loving and understanding, whereas many of us would have probably gave Thomas a hard time for being to ignorant to Jesus' divine power.
Let us learn to be merciful like the Lord!
