Reflektion från Fr. Neary
3rd Sunday of Easter Year B – April
22, 2012.
We may be
amazed at the memory of Jesus in the risen body taking a meal of grilled
fish. He does if for many reasons, one
being to ease their fear, so that when he does something comforting like eating
a meal, they relax in his company. There is the human joy of a meal.
The same Jesus
The message
is also that Jesus is the same Jesus as they knew. There is continuity from
Good Friday into Easter Sunday, and the risen body of Jesus still shows his
wounds.
In the
gospel there are two types of questions and atmosphere about food. We receive
the food of God in prayer, in the word of God, and in the eucharist and
sacraments. Jesus fed the apostles and then sent them to feed other. It is the same with his community of the
church today; we are to be food for the world.
Engagement of Faith
Engagement
with the gifts and call of the risen Lord is an engagement of faith. Faith, a
great gift in our lives, is much challenged today; it is a humble response to God,
not knowing all the answers. Faith is dark, humble and it is within ourselves
that find the yes of faith.
Risen Lord you are our peace, risen Lord you
are our joy, risen Lord you are forever with us.
