DIVINE PERSISTENCE | The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (April 14, 2024)
We are on the Third Sunday of Easter; and in today’s gospel, the Risen Lord appears again to his disciples. They are still troubled; questions arise in their hearts-and so the Lord assures them: “Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”
Then Jesus eats with them and, as in the past, guides them again to an understanding of who he is: "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."
The Risen Lord opens their mind, and commissions them to give witness to him. The Lord does not give up on his disciples. Easter is about divine persistence to renew persons and the world.
