Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to saint Luke 24, 35-48

Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.’ And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence.

Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.’ Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.

Touch Jesus and recognize Him. He is alive and well

1) “Peace be with you”. This is Jesus’s traditional greeting, and we say it several times during each mass. Today, do you have peace? What takes your peace away? You must never lose sight of the peace in your heart and everything you do must be done peacefully. Peace is one of the keys to knowing if you are doing what God asks of you. Seek peace and also strive for it.

2) Touch Him and see. Today, Jesus asks you to see Him again, not only in the poor and the sick, also in your family, in your children, in your friends. That’s when you see and touch Him. But also, in the tabernacle, today visit a chapel and visit Him, stay a while in silence in front of Him so that he may touch your heart and you may recognize Him. If you can’t go to a church, take a moment and sit down, close your eyes and talk to Him.

3) He opened their minds. Today, we must ask Jesus to open our minds that we might understand his words fully and that we might go out and proclaim. Let us not be hard headed or narrow-minded. We are witnesses of Jesus, we must go out and proclaim Him, get involved in the life of others, while also taking care of ours and in the process, of Christ, who is always with us.

May God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And remember, Heaven is our goal.
