LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED!

WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED?

"The two disciples recounted what had taken place on the way, and how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of bread.

"While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them,

“Peace be with you.”

"But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.

"Then he said to them,

“Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?

Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”

"And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them,

“Have you anything here to eat?” They gave him a piece of baked fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.

"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 and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

"And he said to them,

“Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24: 35 - 48).

Thursday 9th April in the Octave of the Solemnity of Easter.

I was struck by this verse in our Gospel of today:

“Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?"

This is my spiritual problem. I want to see and touch like the Apostles.

I have not learned to accept the word of Jesus as truth even when it is contradicted by circumstances.

"Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?"

Lord Jesus deepen my faith. Remove the fears, worries and doubts in my heart. Amen!

THE EUCHARIST IS THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS THE EUCHARIST.

The Church learns more and honors the HOLY EUCHARIST in APRIL.

“The devotion which God sends to the succor of His Church and of the nations at the present time is the devotion to the Most Holy Eucharist. It is the highest of all devotions.” (Pope Leo XIII).
