People of God,
The Easter season continues. Again, we continue to celebrate for 50 days the resurrection of Jesus. Lent is 40 days. So we celebrate longer than we prepared. This Sunday (April 14), we are Baptizing Walter Lance Hammell, son of Drew and Erin. Please pray Walter and his family.
In today’s Gospel Jesus’ disciples are huddled together out of fear after Jesus’ death. It is into this situation that Jesus appears his disciples. He says to them, “Peace be with you.” And then he shows them that it is really Him. He asks them to touch Him. He eats in front of them. The assumption is ghosts cannot eat food. Jesus says these words to us, “Peace be with you.” Jesus is here with us. There is nothing to fear.
Have a blessed week,
Father Vogel
