3rd Sunday of Easter
Gospel – Luke 24:35-48
“‘Why are you so agitated, and why are these doubts rising in your hearts? Look at my hands and feet; yes, it is I indeed. Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has no flesh and bones as you can see I have.’” These words of Risen Christ is always so relevant in our lives. Because we are always very much agitated about many things, and we have doubts about many things. Those happening in our life and those happening in the Church and even those happening in the world. And what is most interesting in this episode is that they are talking about the Jesus Risen and He is appearing before them. And when He appears, they get agitated and have doubts. Actually, it must be just contrary. That’s we are! But see how Jesus wants to convince us. He suffered for us. He died for us. He is Risen. He is amid us. Still, He wants to convince us. Let’s grow in faith. Let’s acknowledge His presence and embrace Him. Let’s reflect: Easter is growing above our doubts about the resurrection of Christ.
