V. Eternal rest grant unto Francis, O Lord.
R. And let the perpetual light shine upon him.

And may his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

Liturgy:  2nd Sunday of Easter – Divine Mercy Sunday

We hear in the first reading how the apostles met in public to pray and preach and how they worked many wonders and signs in the name of Jesus.  As a result they were joined by increasing numbers of men and women.  The Gospel records two appearances by Christ after his resurrection.  In the first of them Christ gives his apostles power to forgive sins, while in the second Thomas acknowledges Jesus as Lord and God.  Christ’s reply to him ‘Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe’ applies to us all.

The Pope’s Prayer Intentions: [Link: Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network]:

April 2025: For the Role of Women: This month’s prayer intention is “that the dignity and richness of women be recognized in all cultures, and for an end to the discrimination they suffer in various parts of the world.”

May 2025: For the Formation of Religious, Monks, Nuns, and Seminarians: The Pontiff urges prayers “so that religious, monks, nuns, and seminarians may grow in their vocational journey through human, pastoral, spiritual, and communal formation, leading them to be credible witnesses of the Gospel.”
