This episode reflects on Divine Mercy Sunday through Gospel of John 20:19–23, revealing that the risen Christ enters our fear, guilt, and shame not with condemnation, but with the gift of peace through forgiveness. Through the powerful witness of Immaculée Ilibagiza, the episode shows that true Christian mission is not primarily about great external works, but about radical forgiveness that flows from receiving God’s mercy. Ultimately, it challenges listeners to become missionaries of mercy—receiving Christ’s peace in the sacraments and extending it to others, even when it costs everything.Reflection Questions:

1. What does Jesus saying “Peace be with you” mean personally to me right now?
2. What strikes me most about Immaculée Ilibagiza’s story?
3. Who is one person I need to forgive this week?
