Second Sunday of Easter - Homily

Fr. Tony Zimmer • April 12, 2026

April 12, 2026 | Second Sunday of Easter

Gospel: John 20:19-31


Like Thomas, we all experience moments of doubt as well as belief. Faith is rarely a straight path. It often moves between questioning and trust, doubt to faith. So, what helps us believe more deeply, more consistently? In this homily, Fr. Tony reflects on the things that can separate us from God, as well as the practices and attitudes that draw us closer to God. He also connects this journey of faith to Divine Mercy, reminding us that we are all called not only to receive God’s mercy, but to share it with others.
