Bulletin Shorts for the Second Sunday of Easter

Second Sunday of Easter (or of Divine Mercy) – 19 April 2020  

Acts 2:42-47.  Psalm 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24.  1 Peter 1:3-9. John 20:19-31.  

Unrestrained by Locked Doors.  Locked doors are not good enough for keeping the Risen Jesus from us.  They are not good enough for preventing Jesus from breathing the Holy Spirit into us.  How must we respond? With the devotion noted in the Acts of the Apostles: to the teaching, to Sunday Mass, to attending to those in need.  

• What is Jesus, through Scripture and Tradition, teaching me today?  
• With what does this Sunday Mass, with prayer and fellowship and Communion, fill me?  
• What needs do I notice in others – and what will I do?
