Sunday 22 April

3rd Sunday of Easter

Acts 3:13-15, 17-19; Ps 5;

1John 2:1-5; Luke 24:35-48

We are part of God’s plan

The epistle of John declares that the sacrifice of Christ takes away not only our sins, but also “the whole world’s.” Captured here is the mind and heart of Jesus on the Cross dying for all. Now risen, Christ wishes to be new life, scripturally and eucharistically, not only for those in the Church, but also for those still to come to know him. As with the Emmaus disciples, we are to help make this happen.
