2nd SUNDAY OF EASTER

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 2nd Sunday of Easter

On this Sunday we have the explanation of our goal for going to the Church every Sunday. It is the reason to be in the community of the Church to meet Jesus who is alive and who gives us the Holy Spirit with the peace. For that we need the faith which will be making us again the image of God in our contemporary world.

The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, is the same Eucharist which the disciples of Jesus celebrated on that first day of the week and the week after, when Jesus came and said to them “Peace be with you”. This Eucharist is the power for us to believe in the resurrection of Jesus and our own resurrection after our death. We have only to confess as Thomas said “My Lord and My God”.

One Main Point

Jesus returns in his glory, as he has promised. Some other promises are also fulfilled, such as joy (Jn 14:19; Jn 16:16-24) and peace (Jn 14:27).

Reflections

  1. What are the stages or stepping-stones in my following Christ?
  2. What (or who) has helped me to believe in Jesus and have life?
  3. Can I be a living Gospel so that others can believe in Jesus and have life?
