THE PARISH OF SAINT DAVID AT TYWYN AND                            SAINT MAIR AT MACHYNLLETH.

12TH APRIL 2026 | SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EASTER|       CYCLE A

Today is Divine MercySunday

Liturgically the Easter Octave has always been centered on the theme of Divine Mercy and forgiveness. Divine Mercy Sunday, therefore, points us to the merciful love of God that lies behind the whole Paschal Mystery — the whole mystery of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ — made present for us in the Eucharist. In this way, it also sums up the whole Easter Octave. As Pope John Paul II pointed out in his Regina Caeli address on Divine Mercy Sunday, 1995: "the whole octave of Easter is like a single day," and the Octave Sunday is meant to be the day of "thanksgiving for the goodness God has shown to man in the whole Easter mystery."

MASS TIMES FOR THIS SUNDAY

9.00 AM HOLY MASS AT ST. DAVID AT TYWYN                                         11.00 AM HOLY MASS AT ST. MAIR AT MACHYNLLETH

In the Gospel, Jesus invests the disciples with the Holy Spirit. Thomas, who was absent from Jesus’s first appearance to them, is challenged to believe. Thomas now professes his faith with the wonderful words, ‘My Lord and my God!’ This week, as we continue to rejoice in the Lord’s resurrection, may we also reach out to others with compassion and understanding.

Sacrament of reconciliation by appointment.
