“Peace be with you." (John 20: 19, 21, 26 NABRE)
Peace, Shalom is the preeminent gift of Easter. Have you noticed that in the Gospel of today (John 20: 19 - 31), Jesus pronounced the incomparable blessing of Shalom 3 times? Before you can enjoy this peace, you must be touched by the Mercy of God.
The universal Church celebrates today the Solemnity of Divine Mercy. (Always 2nd Sunday of Easter). Jesus is the Face of Mercy of Abba Father. Mercy is the name and essence of God the Father revealed to us through His Only Son, Jesus the Christ. The open Heart of Jesus is the symbol and seat of Mercy. Mercy is promised to all.
To prepare yourself to receive and retain Mercy, you must follow the ABC OF MERCY. It is called ABC because, it is an acronym that can be remembered easily and secondly it is as simple as ABC.
A: Ask for Mercy.
B: Be Merciful.
C: Completely Trust Jesus for Mercy.
It is as easy and as simplistic as the Sacraments. They are God’s mighty weapons, powerful enough to destroy Satanic strongholds. (2 Corinthians 10: 4)
