Jesus Ascends to heaven, entrusting the mission of making disciples to His disciples, which includes us.

Christ appears the Apostles, but St. Thomas was not with them the first Sunday of Easter. But his faith is affirmed when he sees the Risen Lord, and makes a bold proclamation: My Lord and my God". We may not experience the Lord in the same way as they did, but He is still giving Himself to us in the Eucharist. #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/041226.cfm True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com

In the Entrance Gospel, we hear that the people cried Hosanna, looking for a messiah. Jesus is indeed the Messiah, but not the one they expected. In the Passion according to St. Matthew, the people cry out for our Lord to be crucified, and that His blood be on them on on their children, and that is what God the Father intends - that the blood of Jesus Christ be on them to save them, and all mankind. https://soundcloud.com/fr-todd-petersen/passion-sunday-2026-entrance-hosanna #Catholic #homily #Scripture #GospelOfTheDay #mercywithteeth Sign up to have podcasts and blog posts emailed to you: http://eepurl.com/ioCgy2 Give feedback at https://forms.gle/gGhujv39g43BUxmK6 Readings are found at https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/032926.cfm True Mercy Has Teeth: A Catholic Journey to Forgiveness and Healing is now available on Amazon and other places as listed at www.mercywithteeth.com
