Thursday 5 April – Octave of Easter

Acts 3;11-26; Ps 8; Luke 24:35-48

Jesus has risen from the dead

Jesus appears to the gathering of disciples. “Peace be with you.” They are puzzled, incredulous. “It is me. Look at my hands and feet.” Then he eats with them. He goes to great lengths to prove he has risen. It is not a ghost. It is really him. They are joyful. As Christians, it is up to us to project our joyfulness to all.
