“DIVINE MERCY” SUNDAY
AND THE EASTER SEASON
The Second Sunday of Easter completes the great Easter Octave. During the Jubilee Year 2000, the Congregation for Divine Worship proclaimed, “Throughout the world, the Second Sunday of Easter will receive the name Divine Mercy Sunday, a perennial invitation to the Christian world to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trails that humankind will experience in the years to come.” Each year on this Sunday, we read John's Gospel account of the risen Jesus' appearance to the disciples, his gift of the Spirit with the power to “bind and loose” sin. Today's Gospel reminds us that the saying, “To err is human; to forgive divine” is much more than a familiar cliché; it is a profound truth. As human beings, we are much more inclined to retaliate than to forgive injury. The power to forgive comes from God. The act of forgiveness is a manifestation of the mercy which is divine.
The Easter Season lasts 50 days - from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. One of the Church Fathers, St. Athanasius, described the Easter Season as “one great Sunday” during which we continue to proclaim “Alleluia! Christ is risen!” As one source put it, “The great fifty days … are not an unwelcome, unrealistic obligation to 'party on,' even if we don't feel like it, but an invitation to explore more deeply 'the weather of the heart,' to awaken our memory of God's presence and power in our lives” (Nathan Mitchell, “The Blessed Pentecost”)

but believe." |
