He is Risen!!! Alleluia!!
April 4, 2024
Thursday of Easter Week!
Dear Family of Mary!
Jesus Christ is Risen from the Dead! Alleluia!!!
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 24:35-48
The
disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way, and
how they had come to recognize him 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.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
I love this account of the disciple's first up close
encounter with the Risen Jesus! They had to test Him out! Hand, feet,
touching Him, seeing Him eat! I am so human! And Jesus is so human!!!
We need to be this simple with the Risen Jesus as well. Think and
pray about how human His is! Human like us!!
Our Lady said to us:
November
2, 2019 "Dear children, my beloved Son always prayed and glorified the
Heavenly Father. He always said everything to Him and trusted in His
will. This is what you, my children, should also do, because the
Heavenly Father always listens to His children. One heart in one heart -
love, light and life.
The
Heavenly Father gave Himself through a human face, and this face is the
face of my Son. You, apostles of my love, you should always carry the
face of my Son in your hearts and your thoughts. You should always think
of His love and His sacrifice. You should pray to always feel His
presence, because, apostles of my love, that is the way for you to help
all those who do not know my Son, who have not come to know His love.
My
children, read the book of the Gospel. It is always something new, it
is what binds you to my Son who was born to bring the words of life to
all of my children and to sacrifice Himself for all. Apostles of my
love, carried by the love for my Son, bring love and peace to all of
your brothers. Judge no one. Love everyone according to the love for my
Son. In this way, you will also be caring for your soul, and it [your
soul] is that what is most precious, which truly belongs to you. Thank
you."
Our Lady wants us to love Jesus, who became one of
us to save us. He is risen, and He is still one of us, in our humanity.
What a mystery of love!!
Blessed Easter!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
