Wounds and Locked Doors — Reflection for Divine Mercy Sunday

Blessed Divine Mercy Sunday! On the Second Sunday of Easter, the Church celebrates in particular the Divine Mercy of Our Lord. In the Gospel reading we hear Our Lord appearing to the disciples who were hiding behind locked doors for fear of the Jewish leaders. Jesus does not reprimand His disciples for abandoning Him in His time of need, but shows them His wounds and offers unto them, not once, not twice, but three times (signifying many times) His peace. Let us give thanks for this great gift, the gift of God Himself and His infinite mercy.
