Second Sunday of Easter
(or Sunday of Divine Mercy)
April 3, 2016
Once I was dead,
but now I am alive forever
and ever.
— Revelation 1:18a
JOINING THE COMPANY OF BELIEVERS
What will help you to believe? Today’s scripture
readings tell of faith and doubt. They offer stories
“recorded to help you believe,” as the passage from
John’s Gospel (20:31) remarks today. There is an
urgency about this. On this Second Sunday of Easter
we are challenged to join the company of believers—countless men and women who witnessed the
power of the apostles’ faith.
There is no doubt that this power comes from
Jesus Christ. The second reading, from the book of
Revelation, reports John’s mystical vision of the Son
of Man, who proclaims, “Once I was dead, but now I
live” (Revelation 1:18). The Gospel gathers everyone but Thomas to see the Risen Jesus and receive
the Holy Spirit from him. Like Thomas, we who
have come along later must have faith so that we can
have life.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The apostles perform many signs
and wonders among the people. Many are added to
their numbers (Acts 5:12-16).
Psalm — Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his
love is everlasting (Psalm 118).
Second Reading — John, caught up in the spirit,
envisions the glorified Lord, the first and the last, the
one who lives (Revelation 1:9-11a, 12-13, 17-19).
Gospel — The risen Christ comes to his disciples
with peace and the Spirit. The absent Thomas doubts
(John 20:19-31).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La Iglesia católica es universal, extendida en diversas naciones y culturas. A través de los siglos estas culturas han enriquecido la Tradición de la Iglesia con muchas tradiciones y
devociones que van más allá de su cultura de origen. La fiesta
de la Divina Misericordia es un buen ejemplo. Viene de una
devoción que nació en Polonia con la Hermana Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938) canonizada en el 2000.
La devoción a la Divina Misericordia se celebra el Segundo Domingo de Pascua y durante todo el año orando la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia. En latinoamérica se ha ido extendiendo esta devoción desde 1978 cuando fue aprobada por el
Papa Paulo VI. En todas partes se puede encontrar la imagen de
la Divina Misericordia, Jesús de pie con rayos rojos y blancoazules que brillan desde su corazón hacia el mundo. Lleva el
lema: Jesús, confío en ti.
La finalidad de esta devoción es recordar al pecador que la
misericordia de Dios es infinita e inagotable. Es una misericordia que debemos imitar para que la paz pueda reinar en
nuestros corazones y en nuestra tierra.

Año de la Misericordia
Servir significa reconocer y recibir las
demandas de justicia, de esperanza, y buscar
juntos, un camino concreto de liberación.
Cita del Papa Francisco

Segundo Domingo de Pascua
(Domingo de la Divina Misericordia)
3 de abril de 2016
Estuve muerto y ahora, como ves,
estoy vivo por los siglos de los siglos.
— Apocalipsis 1:18a
UNIRSE A LA COMUNIDAD DE CREYENTES
¿Qué te ayudará a tener fe? Las lecturas bíblicas de
hoy hablan de la fe y de la duda. Se “escribieron… para
que ustedes crean”, como nos dice hoy el pasaje del
Evangelio de san Juan (20:31). Tiene esto una cierta urgencia. En este Segundo Domingo de Pascua se nos lanza
un desafío a unirnos a la comunidad de creyentes –un
sinnúmero de hombres y mujeres que dan testimonio del
poder de la fe de los Apóstoles.
No hay duda que este poder viene de Jesucristo. La
segunda lectura, del libro del Apocalipsis, relata la visión
mística de Juan sobre el Hijo del Hombre, el cual proclama: “Estuve muerto y de nuevo soy el que vive” (Apocalipsis 1:18). El Evangelio reúne a todos excepto a Tomás para ver a Jesús resucitado y recibir de él el
Espíritu Santo. Al igual que Tomás, los que hemos llegado más tarde debemos tener fe para poder tener vida.

LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Los apóstoles hacen muchas señales
y maravillas entre la gente. (Hch 5:12-16).
Salmo — La misericordia del Señor es eterna. Aleluya
(Salmo 118 [117]).
Segunda lectura — Juan, contagiado por el Espíritu,
tiene una visión del Señor glorificado (Apocalipsis 1:911a, 12-13, 17-19).
Evangelio — Jesús resucitado visita a los discípulos con
su paz y con el Espíritu. Tomás, ausente, duda de la
aparición de Jesús (Juan 20:19-31).
