The last few days have been a whirlwind. On Thursday, a Passover celebration went horribly awry as Jesus was betrayed and taken into custody for unstated crimes. Less than 24 hours later, the simple arrest has turned into a death sentence to be carried out that very afternoon. Most of the disciples fled, including Thomas. He would have heard of the events of Good Friday secondhand, in shock over the death of his Lord and Master. Then Sunday morning arrives with joy from a few disciples Jesus is risen! But there is no persistent sight of him, only Mary Magdalene s quick moment in the garden and an empty tomb. Another day passes. The Apostles are gathered that Monday night, but Thomas is absent. He returns to a jubilant report of the risen Lord. Again, Thomas has seen nothing. The experience must have been surreal. Did Jesus really appear raised from the dead? Did he really suffer and die? Has all of this been some strange hoax? Desperate for an answer, Thomas insists, Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. After his resurrection, Jesus body mangled and bloody from the crucifixion is restored. Did it need the scars? A perfected body would have taught us one lesson: everything is renewed as it once was, the past erased. Jesus chooses another lesson, however. He retains his scars that we might know him. In the whirlwind of our lives, we make our own mistakes, our own betrayals and compromises. In the resurrected Jesus, we see a God who does not forget his own sorrow. We are invited to meet him wound for wound and place our hand on his own nail-scarred palm, the eternal sign of his everlasting mercy.

5 SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER SUNDAY OF DIVINE MERCY CHURCH OF ST. MICHAEL BEMENT, ILLINOIS RELIGIOUS EDUCATION What is the story behind Divine Mercy Sunday? In Poland during the early 1930s, Jesus appeared to a religious sister, St. Maria Faustina Kowalska. These private revelations had one key theme: the love and mercy of God. The relevance of this message was evident then and would continue to resound in importance throughout the social and political upheaval of the 20th century. One of Jesus requests was the institution of a feast of God s mercy. St. Faustina records in her diary, I desire that the Feast of mercy be a refuge and shelter for souls let no soul fear to draw near to me It is my desire that it be solemnly celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter (Diary, no. 699). After St. Faustina s canonization in 2000, the Vatican declared that the Second Sunday of Easter would be known as Divine Mercy Sunday.
