The Lord does not want us to keep thinking about our failings. He wants us to look to Him. In our failings He sees children to help up; in our misery He sees children in need of His merciful love. - Pope Francis #divinemercy
Acts 4:32-35
The community of believers was of one heart and mind,
and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own,
but they had everything in common.
With great power the apostles bore witness
to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus,
and great favor was accorded them all.
There was no needy person among them,
for those who owned property or houses would sell them,
bring the proceeds of the sale,
and put them at the feet of the apostles,
and they were distributed to each according to need.

All grace flows from mercy, and the last hour abounds with mercy for us. Let no one doubt concerning the goodness of God even if a person’s sins were as dark as night, God’s mercy is stronger than our misery. One thing alone is necessary that the sinner set ajar the door of his heart, be it ever so little, to let in a ray of God’s merciful grace, and then God will do the rest. // Saint Faustina

In today's Gospel, Jesus appears to His disciples and says, "Peace be with you." When we reflect on God's mercy in our lives, we are encouraged and challenged to show that same mercy to others.
May Jesus give us the grace to live like Him in our world today.
On this Divine Mercy Sunday, may you know God's mercy as you walk the pilgrim's road...
Jesus, I Trust in You
Lord, who reveal the Father's love by your Death and Resurrection, we believe in you and confidently repeat to you today: Jesus I trust in you, have mercy upon us and upon the whole world.
St. John Paul II
The Lord is truly risen! Alleluia! Let us rejoice and be glad!

EASTER SATURDAY
Faith takes time
What would you think if you heard that someone you knew was dead had risen from the grave? It’s no wonder the disciples doubted the story. No less a witness than Mother Teresa of Calcutta expressed serious doubts about God's existence over the course of her life. “Where is my faith?” she wrote. “There is nothing but emptiness.” And she’s a saint! So when loved ones stop going to church and express doubts about God—or if you yourself face such doubts—accept it as a part of the spiritual journey each of us walks. Keep praying and be patient. Faith takes time and hits dry spells. But in God's heart, there's all the time in the world.
TODAY'S READINGS: Acts 4:13-21; Mark 16:9-15
“When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.” #takefiveforfaith
