00:00:00,242 --> 00:00:04,461
A few years ago, a young man
- let's call him Daniel
2
00:00:04,461 --> 00:00:06,169
he was in a serious car accident.
3
00:00:07,072 --> 00:00:08,795
He woke up in a hospital room
4
00:00:08,795 --> 00:00:10,638
- bruised, broken, and scared.
5
00:00:11,536 --> 00:00:14,688
But what troubled him most
wasn’t the pain
6
00:00:14,688 --> 00:00:15,868
- it was the silence.
7
00:00:16,538 --> 00:00:19,720
His faith had grown cold,
and he felt abandoned by God.
8
00:00:20,504 --> 00:00:23,249
One night, a nurse quietly entered
his room,
9
00:00:23,249 --> 00:00:26,874
placed a small crucifix on the table,
and gently said,
10
00:00:26,874 --> 00:00:29,153
“You’re not alone. He’s here.”
11
00:00:30,582 --> 00:00:33,610
In today’s Gospel, the disciples
are in a locked room.
12
00:00:33,610 --> 00:00:36,111
It’s Easter Sunday, but
they’re still afraid.
13
00:00:36,854 --> 00:00:38,358
And then Jesus appears.
14
00:00:38,775 --> 00:00:39,612
He doesn’t knock.
15
00:00:39,964 --> 00:00:40,846
He doesn’t wait.
16
00:00:41,225 --> 00:00:44,505
He simply comes and says,
“Peace be with you.”
17
00:00:45,528 --> 00:00:48,258
He shows them His wounds,
not to shame them,
18
00:00:48,258 --> 00:00:49,284
but to prove His love
19
00:00:50,001 --> 00:00:52,542
And then He breathes the
Holy Spirit upon them.
20
00:00:53,138 --> 00:00:55,318
It’s not just a greeting, it’s a gift.
21
00:00:55,805 --> 00:00:58,283
A gift of peace, of mercy, of mission.
22
00:00:59,054 --> 00:01:00,567
And then there’s Thomas.
23
00:01:01,135 --> 00:01:03,658
He wasn’t there, he doubts,
he wants proof.
24
00:01:04,178 --> 00:01:07,269
And Jesus, in His mercy,
comes back just for him.
25
00:01:08,216 --> 00:01:09,783
“Put your finger here,” He says.
26
00:01:10,243 --> 00:01:12,495
“Do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
27
00:01:13,054 --> 00:01:15,676
Friends, this is the heart of Easter.
28
00:01:16,245 --> 00:01:21,707
Jesus meets us where we are,
in our fear, our doubt, our silence.
29
00:01:22,541 --> 00:01:24,189
He doesn’t wait for perfect faith.
30
00:01:24,622 --> 00:01:25,946
He comes with peace.
31
00:01:26,254 --> 00:01:28,155
He comes with wounds
that heal.
32
00:01:28,605 --> 00:01:31,732
And He invites us, like Thomas,
to believe.
33
00:01:32,982 --> 00:01:36,235
So this Sunday, in this
Divine Sunday,
34
00:01:36,235 --> 00:01:38,280
let us open the doors
of our hearts.
35
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,560
Let us hear His voice:
“Peace be with you.”
36
00:01:42,133 --> 00:01:46,159
And let us respond in the words
of faith and life,
37
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:48,285
“My Lord and my God.”
