Divine Mercy Sunday

 

My Lord and my God

 

Jesus said: “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.” We are all very familiar today with the idea of peace processes – in Northern Ireland, the Middle East and so on. Jesus needs us to engage in a peace process with one another so that we can be his disciples and true witnesses of his resurrection. We need first of all to put away all weapons of mass destruction like criticism, anger, coldness, selfishness etc. We need to put in place of these the qualities of God’s Spirit, namely love, joy, peace, patience etc. This week we should practice these qualities first of all in our homes as wife and husband, as parents and family. We also need to practice them as we build our parish community to the glory of God.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
