- Readings: Romans 10:1-12
-
- Gospel: Luke 24:36-45 (English & Lebanese):
We see Jesus today, in the midst of his apostles and disciples
greeting them with his peace, asking them not to fear. Jesus
is present every time all the disciples are together celebrating
the memory of his passion, death, and resurrection. That is the
strength of the Church's faith. This strength will enable the
Church to face the persecutions and difficulties.
-
- Do we go the Church with joy to celebrate the Eucharist?
Do we receive the good news and spread it in our society? Jesus
appeared after his resurrection not in flesh and blood but in
the beatified nature. He kept the marks from the nails in his
hands and feet to indicate that he is not a ghost or a spirit
but it is himself present among them. We are also invited to
read our passion on the light of our faith in the one resurrected
from the dead. This resurrection is our salvation and life.
-
- The sinner can't make himself look innocent not even by using
the law. Salvation comes only from God. He is the one to save
mankind. We are asked to believe and all will follow. Let us
remember today, all those who consecrated themselves to serve
the mission. Let us answer Jesus saying: "We remember your
death o Lord and we believe in your resurrection, and we wait
for your second coming."

It continues within us the victory of Christ over sin, and brings
us into greater unity with God, we share in the Eucharist as
our right and duty.

the appearances of bread and wine completes our participation

fully in its graces.

-
