THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER
19th April 2015
TODAY’S READINGS:
In the First Reading, Peter shows great courage when he
confronts the people with their part in the death of Jesus.
However he goes on to excuse them on the grounds that they
acted in ignorance. In this he may have been inspired by the
dying prayer of Jesus: “Father forgive them, they do not know
what they do.” He urges them to repent, assuring them that if
they do, their sins will be forgiven. In the Gospel, Luke’s primary
interest is to show that the risen Jesus is the same person the
apostles had known prior to the Crucifixion – hence the emphasis
on showing them His hands and His feet and reiterating the
Scriptures, that He is the fulfilment of the Law of Moses, the
prophets and the psalms. This wonderful meeting with the Risen
Jesus must have changed their lives forever, and we too, have
the opportunity each day to have a similar experience – not only
in Church or through receiving the Sacraments – but when we
become aware of the splendour of Creation – or as Fr Daniel
O’Leary writes, “When we become aware of the Extraordinary in
the ordinary events of our daily lives”.
