Part of the Body No Doubt

The Roman Catholic Lectionary for the Second Sunday of Easter presents texts which highlight the Presence of Christ after the Resurrection. The shadow of the apostles is attributed by Luke, author of the Acts of the Apostles as bringing healing to many. John, the author of Revelations not theEvangelist, recalls an experience of the Presence of Christ, which in some form, has inspired spiritual writing in many. John the Evangelist tells the story of Jesus and Thomas. The Sunday Liturgy in the Catholic Church will replay the greeting, giving and sending of Jesus today. As Larry Gillick, S.J. from the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality points out that Jesus “transforms me and you and us into … His Body and distributes us as gifts of His living love.” “Doubt no longer, but believe, Alleluia.” (Jn. 20, 27)
