The Second Sunday of Easter has many names, as noted
\nin the title of this post. In some places the theme of mercy is recognized drawing us into the Lord’s bountiful mercy: John Paul II recommended the title of Divine Mercy Sunday for this day, too. The most accurate title, however, for today, is “Quasimodo
\nSunday” taken from the first two words of the entrance Antiphon at Mass
\nthat speak especially to those baptized at the Easter Vigil: <\/font>Quasi modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite ut in eo
\ncrescatis in salutem si gustastis quoniam dulcis Dominus<\/i>. (As newborn babes,
\nalleluia, desire the rational milk without guile, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
\nRejoice to God our helper. Sing aloud to the God of Jacob (1 Peter 2:2).)<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

This
\nsecond Sunday following Easter is the day on which the newly baptized
\nofficially put away their white robes, it is therefore known liturgically as
\n“Dominica in albis depositis” or the “Sunday of putting away the
\nalbs.”<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Today we also hear John 20: 19-31 proclaimed which focuses our
\nattention on the doubts of Saint Thomas at hearing the news of the risen
\nChrist.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
In his book, The Liturgical Year<\/i>, Dom Prosper Gueranger writes, “Our
\nrisen Jesus gave an additional proof that he wished the Sunday to be,
\nhenceforth, the privileged day. He reserved the second visit he intended to pay
\nto all his disciples for this the eighth day since his Resurrection. During the
\nprevious days, he has left Thomas a prey to doubt; but to-day he shows himself
\nto this Apostle, as well as to the others, and obliges him, by irresistible
\nevidence, to lay aside his incredulity. Thus does our Saviour again honour the
\nSunday. The Holy Ghost will come down from heaven upon this same day of the
\nweek, making it the commencement of the Christian Church: Pentecost will
\ncomplete the glory of this favoured day.”<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
