THE DEEP END • So that you may Believe

‘As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.’ Today, the Second Sunday of Easter, is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. I was sitting in a hospital waiting room recently when two elderly women came in. They sat down and quietly began to recite the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy together. Afterwards they handed out Miraculous Medals to those in the room, before heading on their way to visit a patient.

Their simple act of prayer was moving, as was their willingness to pass on their faith to others. It made me think of how the faith we have today has been guarded and passed down through the generations, through prayers, devotions and practices. Our task is to continue to carry the torch.

Today’s Gospel recalls one of the first encounters of the disciples with Jesus after he rose from the dead. The end of the Gospel tells is that these things were recorded ‘so that you may believe’. The faith we celebrate today has come down from these very disciples.

We were not there when Jesus appeared to the disciples, but we experience his presence in the Christian community.
