Did you ever wonder what Jesus might say or do to you if you did to Him what 11 of the 12 Apostles did to Him on Good Friday? Well as my mother might say, I guess we all should do just that because we have all done just that. We have all abandoned Him perhaps on Good Friday, perhaps yesterday, or probably any number of days. Do we ever wonder what Jesus might say or do to us because of the times we ran out on Him? Have we wondered what He would be justified in saying or doing because of our sins against Him-ok let’s not go there; it may be just too much for us. Or how about if we ever did like Thomas did, saying that He could not believe what all of the other apostles told Him unless he could see and touch Jesus himself? And we have done just that also many times, haven’t we? Countless times we have said something like “I’ll believe it when I see it,” or “I’ll believe it when I can hold or touch it with my own two hands,” haven’t we? What would we expect Jesus to say or do to us in that situation? Well, this is what Jesus said and did: He appeared to the Apostles, despite the locked doors, and said, “May God give you every wonderful good.” Actually, as we know, He said, Peace be with you, but the meaning is the same. He wished that God may bestow every good gift upon the 10 Apostles. After that He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them.” We know that the apostles were afraid of the Jewish Authorities, but I can’t help but think that they were also afraid of Jesus after what they had done. Imagine there amazement as to how He forgave them-and even made them ministers of His forgiveness! But there is more. Jesus made a second trip back to see the pessimistic doubting Thomas. You remember Thomas? He is the one who three weeks ago when Jesus was heading back toward Jerusalem to raise Lazarus from the dead said, “Let us also go back to die with Him.” So, Jesus made a special trip back to the Upper Room where they were still hiding and granted Thomas his desire to see and touch His wounds and also expressed His desire to Thomas that God might give him ever wonderful good i.e. He said to Thomas, “Peace be with you.” No wonder that today is celebrated as Divine Mercy Sunday. No matter what we give Him, He gives us His Mercy, His peace and His love. He wishes every wonderful good upon us. We are called by Him to do the same for the world.
