Second Sunday of Easter • Year C

Many things in the world make us not happy: War, loneliness, discrimination, hatred, poverty, hard work with low wages, domestic violence, drugs, alcoholism, just to name a few. These are problems that many of us struggle with. Jesus gently invites us to believe. He invites Thomas to have faith in him. He invites you and me to have faith in him. And he invites us to accept his gift of peace.
