Second Sunday of Easter (or Sunday of Divine Mercy)
April 19, 2020 “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
— John 20:29b GET REAL! Those of us who flatter ourselves that we have a “realistic” view of the world may listen to the first reading today and say, “Get real!” when we hear Luke’s account of the early, Elysian days of the Christian movement. All seems to be rosy, lots of wonders are performed, everyone shares selflessly, they eat together in “exultation,” and the Lord added to their numbers? Well, who wouldn’t be attracted to a group like this? From the wind that swept through the upper room at Pentecost as the Spirit of God blew over the
face of the waters in Genesis, and the fire that appeared over each disciple as the light appeared at the dawn of creation, Luke’s intent in Acts is to show a new creation, a restoration of creation’s original goodness through the working of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who continues to make us into the Body of Christ. We may occasionally, like Thomas in the Gospel, say, “Get real!” but our ultimate reality in the Spirit is to work continually to make our Christian community a new creation, one in which others will find God’s joy and beauty.

Responsorial Psalm Ps 118:2–4, 13–15, 22–24 R. (1) Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. or: R. Alleluia. Let the house of Israel say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let the house of Aaron say, “His mercy endures forever.” Let those who fear the L say, “His mercy endures forever.” R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. or: R. Alleluia. I was hard pressed and was falling, but the L helped me. My strength and my courage is the L , and he has been my savior. The joyful shout of victory in the tents of the just: R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. or:R. Alleluia. The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. By the L has this been done; it is wonderful in our eyes. This is the day the L has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. R. Give thanks to the L , for he is good, his love is everlasting. or:R. Allelulia Gospel Jn 20:19–31 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” Now, Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name.

The Auburn Interfaith Food Closet is a ministry that is supported by St. Teresa of Avila Catholic Parish. Over 50 parishioners are actively involved as volunteers. Even more of us provide financial support and donations of food items. AIFC is designated as an essential service and is continuing to support those in our community who are food insecure. With the impact of COVID-19, we expect to see an increase in families needing help until they can return to their normal lives of work and school. Each year, AIFC participates in the Sacramento Regional Community Foundation program – Big Day of Giving. The 2020 event is on May 7th. There are three ways you can participate:
Send a check direct to AIFC, marked as a donation for the 2020 Big Day of Giving campaign.
(PO Box 132, Auburn CA 95604) Make a pledge to AIFC, for an amount to be contributed later in 2020, with a note to the above
address or an email to AIFC (aifc.auburnfoodcloset.org) Use the Big Day of Giving website between April 22nd and May 7th to make an online pledge.
(www.bigdayofgiving.org) Please also consider donations of nonperishable food items. With our church closed, the on-site donation bins are less accessible. You can bring items to the food closet during our operating hours of 10am – 2pm, Monday to Friday. Any items will be welcome and help needy families in our community.
