Alleluia! Doubt no longer but know now in what fonts are rebirth and redemption!
Homily for Easter Octave (Divine Mercy Sunday), 2022, delivered in St Patrick's Church, Calliope, Qld.
"... it was the Lord’s day and the Spirit possessed me, and I heard a voice behind me, shouting like a trumpet, '... do not be afraid; it is I, the First and the Last; I am the Living One, I was dead and now I am to live for ever and ever..." (cf. Rev 1:9-19).
"... a phrase used by Saint Augustine in recounting the story of Jesus’ meeting with the woman taken in adultery (cf. Jn 8:1-11). It would be difficult to imagine a more beautiful or apt way of expressing the mystery of God’s love when it touches the sinner: 'the two of them alone remained: mercy with misery'. What great mercy and divine justice shine forth in this narrative! Its teaching serves not only to throw light on the conclusion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, but also to point out the path that we are called to follow in the future... The Mother of Mercy gathers us all under the protection of her mantle. Let us trust in her maternal assistance and follow her perennial counsel to look to Jesus, the radiant face of God’s mercy." (Pope Francis, Misericordia et
misera, 2016).
"In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you’, and showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you... Receive the Holy Spirit'..." (cf Jn 20:19-31).
