Behold I stand at the door and knock...
"Behold I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him..." (Revelation 3:20) A collection of my Sunday homilies for Holy Mass as well as some occasional talks and reflections. May my words enable you to hear the voice of Christ, who asks that you open the door to Him. Please share this podcast with others if you benefit from listening to it.

The Feast of Divine Mercy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We Catholics use the term feast in both a spiritual meaning and a physical meaning. The spiritual takes precedence. So, on this 2nd Sunday of Easter, which ends the Octave of Easter, we rejoice and revel in Divine Mercy, just like we would at a banquet; but of course we do that feasting as well!
Divine Mercy is not separate from Easter but part of it because how else would Our Lord go through with His passion and death, which culminates in resurrection, unless He had boundless and abundant mercy towards us.
Please be sure to make a reverent and worthy Holy Communion so you may receive the promise attached to this day: that the floodgates of Divine Mercy be poured out upon you.
