In this homily given on Divine Mercy Sunday (April 7th, 2024), Fr Mathias preaches on Jesus' declaration "peace be with you" in the Upper Room after the Resurrection. Far from being a simple greeting, the Risen Jesus is declaring that there is now peace between God and humanity through the blood of his cross. God desires this peace to the world by extending his mercy through the Church. But it's not just clergy who bring peace to the world through the sacraments; all of us can live out mercy to bring peace to the world. Father Mathias ends his homily by outlining the ABC's of God's mercy: 1) Ask for Mercy, 2) Be Mercy to Others, 3) Completely Trust in God's Mercy.
