2nd Sunday of Easter (Sunday of Divine Mercy)
A young, engaged couple sat on the couch in front of me as we chatted about their upcoming marriage. The young lady was struggling to trust her future husband. She told me her father had been unfaithful to her mother. She said of her fiancé, “I want him to prove to me that he won’t cheat on me.” The young man looked at me helplessly, raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders. What evidence could he possibly give to validate such a proof? Nothing. All he could do was invite her to trust him.
We all are wounded by experiences of imperfect love. We also are tempted to demand from God proof of His fidelity and goodness. We are like St. Thomas the Apostle who, on that second Sunday of Easter, demands proof of the Lord’s resurrection. “Unless I see the mark of the nail … I will not believe.” Our science, technology and mathematics can indeed prove a great deal. But there are some things that require trusting another person. We prove promises of love only by trusting.
St. Thomas indeed saw the wounds of Jesus and believed. But there is an even greater blessing for us who simply trust Him — and all the truths the Church proclaims — because of the trustworthiness of the Risen One who speaks. This week let’s trust Jesus without seeing him.

SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER APRIL 16, 2023
16 de abril de 2023
2º Domingo de Pascua (La Divina Misericordia)
Hoy es la octava de Pascua, fiesta central de todo el año litúrgico. Tenemos cincuenta días hasta Pentecostés, para descubrir y experimentar que Jesús es nuestra paz, que su bondad no se ha ido a pesar de nuestros miedos. Señor, necesitamos tu misericordia en el corazón para descubrirte en los que sufren, en los tristes, en los que viven la guerra y la violencia. La paz que nos prometiste desde tu resurrección no es reconocida y practicada. Tal pareciera que hemos olvidado el compartir, escuchar, y vivir en paz de mutuo acuerdo, por el bien común.
Los apóstoles estaban encerrados por miedo a los judíos. A puerta cerrada, escondidos. Jesús penetra esas puertas y se muestra a ellos brindando su paz. Les dice que no estén angustiados, que ha vencido la muerte, el pecado y que en adelante todo va a ser nuevo. Esa misma paz es la que Jesús nos desea a nosotros ahora. Con la fe, que profesamos desde el bautismo, podemos seguir adelante, sin miedo, con valentía, venciendo los obstáculos de la vida que nos impiden estar cerca de Dios. El Santo Papa Juan Pablo II dijo: “Jesucristo es la respuesta definitiva a la pregunta sobre el sentido de la vida y a los interrogantes fundamentales que asedian hoy as tantos hombres y mujeres” (Ecclesia en América, n. 10). Es la paz de Cristo la que nos ayuda a vivir serenos a pesar de todas las inseguridades. ¡Señor, gracias por tu paz!
