Second Sunday of Easter (Sunday of Divine Mercy - April 12, 2026
Our readings challenge us to recognize the risen Lord's presence in the many events of our life. In Acts, people from all around Jerusalem recognize the Lord's healing powers working through Peter, the disciple he left as head of the early church. John, the author of Revelation, recognizes the Lord in his visions. Thomas only recognizes the risen Lord when he sees him in the flesh, but then believes at once. Let us marvel at the strong faith of these early Christians.
April 12 Vocation Corner - Today's Gospel is the familiar story of Thomas' declaration of unbelief in the Resurrection until "I put my finger in the nail marks." These kinds of thoughts often attack the minds of those discerning a religious vocation. They are seeking that "definite" sign that the path they are pursuing is the right one. The Lord does not always afford that. Let us pray often for these discerners that they "hear the call" of the Lord and continue to respond to it.

Mike was a wonderful parishioner donating his time and talents to our events. We will all miss him! Please keep his wife, Becky and the family in your prayers as they process this loss. May eternal rest be unto him and may he rest in peace.
