He gave her an image to paint. He gave her a chaplet to pray. And He gave her a promise so audacious the Church took decades to approve it.The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment.Complete. Not partial. Not proportional. Complete.Why this Sunday? Because this is the day Thomas touched the wound. The same wound that released the red and pale rays in the Divine Mercy image. Blood and water. Baptism and Eucharist. Mercy pouring from the pierced heart of Christ.Thomas reached into that wound and came out believing. You can do the same thing today.The confessional is open. The wound is accessible. What are you waiting for?📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Acts 2: 42-47Responsorial: Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24Second Reading: 1 Peter 1:3-9Gospel: John 20:19-31⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Acts 2: 42-4701:06 Psalm Response - Psalm 11805:26 Reading II - 1 Peter 1:3-906:25 Gospel - John 20:19-3108:17 Reflection - Complete Forgiveness🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
