An Unsettling Peace
Posted April 26th, 2009 by fr. greg
Luke 24:36-48; 1 John 3:1-7
There is something unsettling about Jesus’ resurrection appearances. The peace that he proclaims is not the peace of the world. Jesus shows us his hands and his feet and calls us to see the cross not as failure but as the way of peace that leads to victory. There is an exchange of gifts as Jesus receives a meal of fish from his disciples and he feeds them with the Word of God. We too are fed by him and are witnesses of these things.
