The resurrection, Alleluia.




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.”Lk 24:35-48

In todays Gospel these words remind me about the importance of the prophetic messages that Jesus keeps reminding us of. The word 'truth' has been so confused and satan tricks us constantly into thinking weird scenarios about ontological beginnings, alien landings and other lies, when you have the gift of grace which Jesus the Christ brings in the Sacraments, a light comes on and discernment about what is true becomes clearer.

Looking back at my mistakes over Lent I think of Peter denying he knew Jesus, there is justification for lying. Not good of course but what do you do when you are terrified. This was my reflection. I
