Dear family members and friends, Something very significant happened on eight days after Easter. That was a special appearance of Jesus to the disciples especially to Thomas to make him believe that Jesus was risen. There we see the most important declaration of faith by Thomas, “My Lord and my God.” This Sunday is also called ‘New Sunday’ marking the start of a new spiritual life Traditionally it is the day on which the experience of the new Christian life begins, particularly for those who were baptised on Easter Sunday. Let us renew our faith in Jesus declaring Him as our Lord and our God and continue our Christian life more faithfully.

Today is also celebrated as the Divine Mercy Sunday when we remember the love and mercy shown in Jesus. Entrusting fully to Him let us say, “Jesus I trust in You.” Amen

Dear family members and friends, In today’s entrance Antiphon we sing, “I have risen, and I am with you still.”  This is the message of great hope. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, we are called to the joy of a new life, a life of great hope and renewal. In today’s Gospel we are given the narration of the empty tomb which is a reasonable proof of the resurrection of Jesus, which is otherwise hard to believe for many. It is a unique event ever in the history before and after. St. Paul exhorts us to seek the things that are above because our life is one to appear with the risen Jesus in glory. On this Easter, let us remember that we are not simply to be bound to the earthy things, but are to set our minds on things that are above. Amen.

Wish you all a very Happy Easter with all its blessings.
