Where does the sacrament of Confession come from? Where does it say in the Bible that the Church has the authority to forgive sins? In this Sunday's gospel reading, Jesus appears to the Apostles one week after the Resurrection and tells them "whose sins you forgive are forgiven" (Jn 20:23). One week after Easter Jesus sends the Church on a mission of mercy, which is why we celebrate the Sunday after Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday. Read more here.
This Sunday before Mass, instead of our usual Rosary, we will pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. If you are unfamiliar with that devotion, you can click here for instructions. As always, Father Paul will be available for Confession one hour before Mass for any who would like to receive this sacrament of mercy.
