[Grem] Húsvét 2.vasárnapja - az Isteni Irgalmasság vasárnapja

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our magnificent Gospel today declares that there is no greater
manifestation of the divine mercy than the forgiveness of sins. We are in
the upper room with the disciples, those who had denied, betrayed, and
abandoned their master. Jesus came and stood in their midst. When they saw
him, their fear must have intensified; undoubtedly, he was back for
revenge.Instead, he spoke the simple word "Shalom," peace. He showed them
his hands and his side, lest they forget what the world (and they) did to
him, but he does not follow up with blame or retribution—only a word of
mercy.And then the extraordinary commission: "Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are
retained." Jesus’ mercy is communicated to his disciples, who in turn are
sent to communicate it to the world. This is the foundation for the
sacrament of penance, which has existed in the Church from that moment to
the present day as the privileged vehicle of the divine mercy. *
