By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor

"I think the bishops got it right when they said, the gift of the Spirit isn't fear; it's reverence and awe for God's greatness," Father Perry tells us for our celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday. "I hear in these scriptures a real call to believe what Jesus says. How blessed you are, all of us, because we believe without even having seen. I hear on this feast of Divine Mercy, that God is pouring his mercy out everlastingly. That love of God touches us so deeply that we become more and more like God ourselves."
