“Peace
be with you,”
were the first words the disciples heard
from the Risen Lord. His gift to them was
to breathe on them the Holy Spirit giving
them new spiritual life. He didn’t
rebuke them for abandoning him. He
didn’t scold them for their weakness
and unbelief; instead He gave them
peace.
The
Risen Lord did not appear to us as
dramatically or as vividly as he did to
his disciples. Nevertheless he has come to
us and has given us the gift of his peace
and his presence. He has called and chosen
us in baptism. Ultimately we believe
because Christ wants us to believe. He
sustains our belief; it’s his gift of
himself to us. It is also a gift we hold
in fragile vessels. Christ has revealed
himself to us in Scripture, in the Old and
New testaments. He gives himself to us in
an intimate and communal way in the
Eucharist. He is our savior who died for
us. There is no God like him; he is
all-powerful, all merciful. He is
everything we can say about him and then
some.
It is a
belief of apparent contradictions, one
God, the Most Holy Trinity. He is Spirit,
yet appeared in the flesh in Jesus;
Father, Son and Spirit. Divine yet human.
He is above our human understanding.
“He has spoken through the
prophets”. “The Word became
flesh”. “He suffered, died, and
was buried. On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the
Scriptures.”
Thomas
wanted proof. Jesus challenged his
unbelief. The same Lord comes to us each
day. I pray the Peace of the Lord be on St
Dunstan parish. And as we gather to
celebrate the Eucharist we will recognize
the Risen Lord in the breaking of bread.
