Divine Mercy Sunday - Year A - April 12, 2026

Divine Mercy Sunday Year A celebrates God’s mercy and the hope we receive through Christ’s resurrection. The readings highlight forgiveness, faith, and the joy of new life in Christ.

• God’s Mercy and Forgiveness: Jesus gives His disciples the power to forgive sins, showing God’s endless mercy. This gift invites us to seek forgiveness and extend mercy to others.
• Faith Amid Doubt: Thomas doubts the resurrection until he sees Jesus’ wounds. His journey shows that faith can grow through questions and honest seeking.
• Peace Through Christ: Jesus greets His disciples with peace, calming their fear. His presence brings peace that conquers fear and doubt.
• The Power of Community: The early Christians prayed, shared resources, and grew together in faith. This shows the importance of supporting each other in living out the Gospel.
• Hope Through Resurrection: Christ’s resurrection gives us a living hope and an eternal inheritance. This hope sustains us, even through trials and challenges.
• Joy in Belief: Although we cannot see Jesus, faith brings joy and purpose. Believing without seeing is blessed, as Jesus teaches Thomas.

Divine Mercy Sunday Year A invites us to embrace God’s mercy and live in hope and faith. It calls us to be merciful, to believe with joy, and to support each other as a community of believers.

4th Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday)- Year A - March 15, 2026

 The 4th Sunday of Lent Year A invites us to reflect on seeing with the eyes of faith. The readings show how God looks at the heart, brings light to darkness, and heals spiritual blindness.

• Seeing as God Sees: God chooses David because of his heart, not his appearance. This reminds us to value inner goodness and to look beyond outward appearances.
• Light and Darkness: Believers are called to live as children of light. This means rejecting sin and letting Christ’s light guide our actions.
• Spiritual Blindness and Sight: Jesus heals the man born blind, revealing spiritual blindness in those who refuse to believe. This shows the importance of faith and openness to God’s truth.
• Faith and Conversion: The blind man’s journey from physical healing to faith in Jesus shows a deep conversion. This challenges us to grow in faith and recognize Jesus as the Son of God.
• God’s Choice and Calling: God chooses David, the unlikely shepherd, to be king. This shows that God often chooses the humble and overlooked to fulfill His plans.
• Courage to Witness: The healed man boldly defends Jesus before the Pharisees. His courage inspires us to stand up for our faith, even when challenged.

The 4th Sunday of Lent Year A challenges us to open our hearts to God’s light and see with faith. It calls us to grow in trust, courage, and love for Christ.

Readings:

• First Reading – 1 Samuel 16:1B, 6-7, 10-13A: Samuel is sent by the Lord to anoint one of Jesse’s sons as the new king of Israel, replacing Saul. Initially, Samuel believes that Eliab, Jesse’s eldest son, must be the chosen one, but the Lord reveals to him that he looks at the heart, not outward appearances, and leads him to anoint David, the youngest son, who is a shepherd.
• Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 23: If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
• The Lord is a faithful and loving shepherd who provides for and protects his sheep. The psalmist describes the Lord’s provision of green pastures and still waters, his guidance through dark valleys, and his comforting presence, and concludes by affirming his confidence in the Lord’s goodness and mercy throughout his life.
• Second Reading – Ephesians 5:8-14: Believers should live as children of light, putting aside the works of darkness and walking in the ways of righteousness. The passage emphasizes the importance of exposing and reproving evil deeds, and notes that everything that is exposed by the light becomes visible and that Christ will shine on those who follow him.
• Gospel – John 9:1-41: Jesus heals a man who was born blind, but the Pharisees are skeptical and investigate the miracle. They interrogate the man and his parents, and ultimately cast the man out for declaring his belief in Jesus as the Son of God.

The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A highlights the call to care for others and shine in the world. The readings show how kindness, faith, and good actions bring light and hope.

• Helping those in need: Giving food, shelter, and clothing to others brings healing and joy. When people help those who suffer, they find peace and feel closer to God.

• Living by faith: Faith should rest on God’s power, not on human knowledge. Trusting in Him gives strength, even when feeling weak.

• Being a light: Jesus calls people to shine by doing good. When others see kindness and love, they are drawn closer to God.

• Making a difference: Just as salt changes food, people can change the world. Small acts of goodness bring hope and encouragement.

• Showing God’s love: Faith is not just words but actions. Loving others reflects God’s goodness in everyday life.

• Overcoming fear with trust: Weakness and fear should not stop people from sharing their faith. Trusting in God’s help brings courage.

• Glorifying God: Good works should not be done for attention. They should point others to God and His goodness.
