Sacred Heart Formation House, Cagayan de Oro City, 2nd Sunday of Easter
Divine Mercy Sunday invites us to reflect on God’s boundless love shown through Christ’s Resurrection. Jesus greets His disciples with peace and tenderly addresses Thomas’s doubts. The glorified Christ in Revelation reminds us that mercy triumphs over all fear. We are called, like the first Christians and Pope Francis, to live this mercy in action. Trusting in Jesus, we become bearers of His healing and compassion.

Easter Sunday: He Is Risen!
On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the heart of our faith: Jesus Christ’s victory over death. Like Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb, we are invited to believe, to rejoice, and to share the good news that Christ is alive. The Resurrection is not just a past event—it is a call to new life, to rise from fear and sin into hope and mission. As we recall local traditions like the Sugat, we are reminded that this joy is meant to be shared. Let us live the Resurrection daily, as witnesses of God’s love, mercy, and victory.
“Pilgrims of Hope” in the Light of the Risen Christ
Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
In this year of grace, the Jubilee Year 2025, the Church joyfully proclaims to all the world the message of hope—firm, enduring, and radiant—flowing from the empty tomb of the Risen Lord. Our theme, “Pilgrims of Hope”, reminds us that we do not walk alone. Christ walks with us. He is our beginning and our destination, the light that never fades, and the companion who strengthens every step of our journey.
