Father Greg Writes

      • As we gather on this Second Sunday of Easter, we continue to rejoice in the light and hope of the Resurrection. This day, also known as Divine Mercy Sunday, invites us to reflect deeply on the boundless mercy of God revealed in the Risen Christ.
      • In the Gospel from John 20:19–31, we encounter the disciples gathered in fear behind locked doors. Into that space of anxiety and uncertainty, Jesus comes and stands among them, offering the simple yet powerful gift: “Peace be with you.” He shows them His wounds, not as signs of defeat, but as marks of love and mercy. Thomas, who struggles to believe, is gently invited to come and see, to touch, and to trust. This Gospel reminds us that Christ meets us where we are—whether in faith or doubt, strength or weakness—and offers us His mercy, His peace, and His presence./li>
      • As we reflect on this, we also take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed so generously to the celebration of the Sacred Triduum. From the preparation of our churches, to the music, readings, ministries, and the many unseen acts of service—your dedication made these holy days truly prayerful and uplifting.
      • Fr Benjamin and myself, are deeply thankful for your support, kindness, and encouragement throughout this most sacred time. Your faith and commitment are a great source of strength to us.
      • May this Easter season continue to renew our hearts, strengthen our faith, and draw us ever closer to the mercy and love of Christ. “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”
      • Please continue to pray for the Diocesan 5 year plan ‘Go make Disciples…..’ Pope Francis reminded us, “without prayer all our activity risks being fruitless and our message empty. Jesus wants each of us to be people who bear witness to His good news, not only with words but above all by a life transfigured by God’s presence.”(Evangelii Gaudium, 259). (P9)
