Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Risen Christ’s Appearance” – Faith: When the Risen Lord appeared to His apostles, He showed them His Crucified wounds; and they were filled with immense Joy. Ponder on, “Pray to receive the insights of Jesus’ Resurrection and be inspired by the Truth of the Gift of Everlasting Happiness in heaven. Contrast this with: all worldly attractions and glory end; when we die.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 24:36-43
The disciples were still talking about all this when Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you!’ In a state of alarm and fright, they thought they were seeing a ghost. But he said, ‘Why are you so agitated, and why are these doubts stirring in your hearts? See by my hands and my feet that it is I myself. Touch me and see for yourselves; a ghost has no flesh and bones as you can see I have.’
And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet. Their joy was so great that they still could not believe it, as they were dumbfounded; so he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ And they offered him a piece of grilled fish, which he took and ate before their eyes.
