STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE

Jesus meets the need of each disciple.  To the fearful in the upper room, He speaks words of peace.  To doubting Thomas, He provides the tangible proof of His resurrection.  What do I need to become His disciple? What do I have to share that might meet someone else’s need?

WEEKLY MEDITATION

MARCH 30, 2008

SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER

Readings:  Acts 2:42-47; Psalm 118; 1 Peter 1:3-9;               John 20:19-31

“Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”  (John 20:29)

   Was the Apostle, Thomas, from Missouri, the “show me State”?  Because of our gospel passage today we speak of Thomas as the “doubter”.  He was firm in his need to have visible physical evidence.  When he saw the wounds and was invited to put his hand and finger into the wounds he responded with that beautiful statement we all remember:  “My Lord and my God!”

   Let’s not put Thomas down too much, however.  None of Jesus’ followers understood what Jesus meant when he talked about being raised up on the third day.  When the crucifixion occurred we know how they really reacted:  Judas had hanged himself; Peter had gone out and wept bitterly; and the other nine ran away and hid.  Only the women, and possibly John, went to the cross.  Yet, when they came to the tomb on Sunday morning they expected to find the body of Jesus there.  They were caught by complete surprise with the empty tomb.  Some did not recognize the risen Christ even when they did see him.  All needed to see him and have some proof that it was really the same Jesus they had known before.  Some scripture scholars explain the forty days between the resurrection and the ascension as a time when these early followers gradually got to know the Risen Christ better.  Only then, filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, could they go out and tell others about their experiences.  In the passage today from the Acts of the Apostles we see how the early group spent time together listening to the Apostles, sharing their experiences in common and praying together.  They also put their faith into practice by taking care of those in need.  This is a good picture of the evangelization all of us have been called to practice.

   So, how do we come to know the Risen Christ since we have never seen him?  Those who have been received into the Church at the Easter Vigil will continue to come together for prayer and study as they grow in their knowledge and love of Jesus.  Will the rest of us continue our practices of prayer, fasting and alms giving that we did during Lent?  Will we recognize Christ as he comes to us in our daily lives?  How will we respond to him?  Now that Christ has forgiven us, will we in turn forgive others?

 

Question for Children:  Even though you can’t see him with your eyes, how do you “see” Jesus in others?

 

Questions for Youth:  Jesus gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit and gave us the power to forgive sins.  How do you offer forgiveness to your friends and family?  How do you see forgiveness for yourself?

Questions for Adults:  When and how do you experience the “new birth” which we are given in Christ?  When someone has forgiven you?  When you have forgiven others?  When you have celebrated the sacrament of reconciliation?  At other times?

 

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it.”  (Psalm 118:24)

the life and unity of the Catholic family.  We as a parish community pledge to help them grow and mature in the Christian life and to develop a genuine Catholic world view.

   The RCIA session this Sunday evening at Holy Assumption parish will focus on recalling the Easter Vigil.  The session begins at 7 p.m.  For more information contact the parish office or Dick and Judy Lyons at 1-888-820-8963.
