Today’s Gospel

After Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, from whom he had driven out seven demons. She went and reported the news to his followers, who were now mourning and weeping. But when they heard that he lived, and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.

After this he showed himself in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. These men also went back and told the others, but they did not believe them.

Later Jesus showed himself to the Eleven while they were at table. He reproached them for their unbelief, and hardness of heart, in refusing to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

Then he told them, “Go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation.

 Today’s Reflection

He reproached them for their unbelief, and hardness of heart. Even after Jesus’ repeated appearances to the disciples, his Apostles still would not believe the veracity of their encounters with the Risen Christ. Jesus thus revealed himself to the Apostles and reproached them. At the end of today’s Gospel, Jesus sent his apostles to go out to the whole world and proclaim the Good News to all creation. Our God is really the God of surprises and of second chances! Let us celebrate our life renewed in Christ this Easter Season.
