4/27/25 - Divine Mercy Sunday - Cycle C
Dear Families,
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus appears to his disciples who are afraid and behind locked doors. Jesus greets them with the words “Peace be with you.” Then he breathes on them, imparting the Holy Spirit, and tells them that whose sins they forgive are forgiven. Jesus words to his disciples highlight the Sacrament of Reconciliation and they are empowered to forgive sins in Jesus’ name. Thomas is not present at this appearance of Jesus and does not believe the other disciples unless he sees for himself. Jesus returns, shows Thomas his wounds and Thomas believes.
Today the Second Sunday of Easter is also Divine Mercy Sunday. Mercy means being treated well even though we do not deserve it. When we sin, we may be afraid that God does not forgive us. However, we need to remember to believe that God is merciful and loves us no matter how bad our sins. When we are sorry for our sins God forgives us. Forgiveness and reconciliation are our gifts to us from Jesus.
As a family watch video in its entirety and then ask each other this question.
How can we share God’s peace and forgiveness with one another?
Family Prayer: “Jesus, I trust in you!” Thank you for your peace and mercy. Lord, open our hearts and eyes to see the need of peace in each other. Help us share your gift of peace and prayerfully greet each other by saying “May the peace of the Lord be with you.” Amen

April 27, 2025 - Divine Mercy Sunday
Dear Sisters and Brothers,
Today we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, a feast that flows straight from the heart of the Risen Christ. Instituted by Saint John Paul II at the canonization of Saint Faustina Kowalska in year 2000. In today’s Gospel, we encounter the disciples hiding behind locked doors, afraid and ashamed. They’ve abandoned Jesus. They’ve denied Him. They’re confused and broken. And yet—what are the first words Jesus speaks when He appears in their midst? “Peace be with you.” Not “Where were you?” Not “How could you abandon me?” But “Peace.” This is Divine Mercy in action. Jesus doesn’t come with reproach. He comes with wounds—visible signs of love, not accusation. These wounds speak of suffering, yes, but also of victory. He breathes the Holy Spirit on them, and in doing so, entrusts them with the power to forgive sins. Mercy received becomes mercy shared.
And then there’s Thomas. Doubting Thomas. Honest Thomas. He demands proof—not because he’s a cynic, but because he’s wounded too. Jesus doesn’t reject him. He invites him. “Put your finger here… Do not be unbelieving, but believe.” The Risen Christ meets us where we are. Mercy stoops low to lift us high.
4/27/25 - Domingo de la Divina Misericordia
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Hoy celebramos el Domingo de la Divina Misericordia, una fiesta que brota directamente del corazón de Cristo Resucitado. Fue instituida por San Juan Pablo II en el año 2000, durante la canonización de Santa Faustina Kowalska. En el Evangelio de hoy, encontramos a los discípulos escondidos detrás de puertas cerradas, llenos de miedo y vergüenza. Han abandonado a Jesús. Lo han negado. Están confundidos y rotos. Y, sin embargo, ¿cuáles son las primeras palabras que Jesús les dice al aparecerse en medio de ellos? “La paz esté con ustedes.” No dice: “¿Dónde estaban?” Ni: “¿Cómo pudieron abandonarme?” Sino: “Paz.”
Esta es la Divina Misericordia en acción. Jesús no viene con reproches. Viene con heridas—signos visibles de amor, no de acusación. Estas heridas hablan de sufrimiento, sí, pero también de victoria. Él sopla el Espíritu Santo sobre ellos y, al hacerlo, les confía el poder de perdonar los pecados. La misericordia recibida se convierte en misericordia compartida.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”
Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.
