Lord

The heart of the Christian community is our Triune Lord: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Geography, history, and numbers are not the heart, but probably I will type mostly on these topics. As the internet already provides many encouraging spiritual guides and discouraging contentious forums, I intend to offer neither.

Sunday of Divine Mercy

April 19, 2020, is the First Sunday of Easter or Sunday of Divine Mercy. The readings are HERE.
A link describing Sr. Faustina and Pope St. John Paul II with the establishment of the Sunday of Divine Mercy is linked HERE.

This Sunday has also been known as Low Sunday, Dominica in Albis Depositis (Sunday with the white baptismal garments put aside), Thomas Sunday (because of the Gospel reading), and Quasimodo Sunday. The Latin Introit begins with Quasimodo (As if newborn babes ...). In Victor Hugo's novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, the archdeacon there finds the abandoned infant on this Sunday, and names him Quasimodo.
