1. This is the best idea of the day:

Tomorrow is #DivineMercy Sunday. Why not consider going to Saturday afternoon confession at a nearby parish today?

— Father Souza (@fathersouza) April 11, 2015

This is something I wrote about Confession during Lent.

I also thought the timing of Cardinal Egan’s death seemed to be pastoral, pointing us to Confession, pointing us to the Cross and the love — the Divine Mercy — we encounter there.

2. This appears in Magnificat today from Adrienne von Speyr:

The Lord appeared first to the former sinner. She is the first to experience his being alive. And from this, she comprehends the cross. All the sins of the world, also her own, which were so visible, struck the Lord on the cross. But because she is no longer a sinner but, rather, was converted by the Lord already before the cross, he appears to her. She is surely to embody in her person the absolution that is granted to all sinners on the cross.

But beyond this, the Lord placed her under the cross as one who has been converted, as one who loves and does penance in a very profound union of her suffering with his suffering and also of her suffering with the suffering of the Mother. And if the Holy Spirit has found it right to leave the Mother’s suffering in mystery and not to mention her joy at the Resurrection of the Son, then it is as if Mary Magdalene is sent ahead in order to represent all those who suffered together directly with the Crucified, above all, the Mother of the Lord. From the outside, she remains, above all, the former sinner, who with the apparition on Easter morning receives the certainty of absolution for the whole Church.

The cross is revelation it reveals not any particular thing but God and man. It reveals who God is. -Joseph Ratzinger pic.twitter.com/zVxHdjqPg4

4. Jesus’ Easter Rebuke and the Faith that Flows From It

5. Toward our year of mercy! This is awesome.

6. From the shrine of Saint Catherine of Siena in Siena, Italy, via Fr. Steve Grunow from Word on Fire:

The aforementioned father also tweeted earlier:

Christ's mercy is not a dispensation from responsibility for wrongdoing, but a privileged opportunity to set wrongs right.

— FrSteveGrunow (@FrSteveGrunow) April 11, 2015

The experience of Christ's mercy, if truly accepted, always leads to mission.
