Week of 4/15-4/22

Doubting Thomas (Second Sunday of Easter)
The Gospel account for this Sunday (John 20:19-31) is the story of Jesus' two appearances to His disciples. Jesus continues His presence with His people as He institutes the Office of the Holy Ministry and gives the first pastors the charge to administer His forgiveness through the Sacrament of Absolution. In this way, Jesus continues to strengthen faith in Him so we can confess with Thomas: "My Lord and my God!"
