SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER – FEAST OF DIVINE MERCY
Today’s Theme: Our Easter Joy
Today as we hail Christ as our Lord and God we are filled with the joy of the disciples in seeing the risen Lord. In this season of renewal we are like those early Christians who “were filled with a joy so glorious that it cannot be described”.
