The Divine Mercy
Today's Gospel describes the final scene of Jesus’ interaction with the disciples and forms the conclusion of St. John’s account. Scripture scholars consider Chapter 21 to be an appendix likely written later as a summary of pastoral themes. Here we have St. Thomas, my baptismal name saint, declaring his belief in the Risen Christ.
