Why Jesus Gave the Power to Forgive Sins: Divine Mercy Sunday Explained
On Divine Mercy Sunday, Fr. Travis Stephens, PhD, reflects on the powerful Gospel encounter between Jesus and St. Thomas, reminding us that we are Thomas’s “twin,” called to believe without seeing.
Drawing from the testimony of the apostles and the reality of the Resurrection, this homily explores the foundation of Christian faith and the astonishing moment when Jesus gives His apostles the divine authority to forgive sins.
Why does the Church have confession?
How is God’s mercy still at work today?
This message unpacks the beauty of Divine Mercy, the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the life-changing invitation to encounter Christ’s forgiveness personally.
