Sunday Sermon


 
Friends, on the Second Sunday of Easter, we have the inexhaustible reading from the twentieth chapter of John—one of the accounts of the Resurrection appearances of Jesus. These are in many ways the core texts of our Christian faith, so it behooves us to spend some careful time looking at them. This week, I want to reflect on the shalom (peace) that the risen Christ offers his disciples—and the struggle of one disciple, who was not present, to believe.

Mass ReadingsReading 1 — Acts 4:32-35
Psalm — Ps 118:2-4, 13-15, 22-24
Reading 2 — 1 Jn 5:1-6
