April 14, 2024 Third Sunday of Easter

+ From the second Gospel (Luke 24, 35 – 48)

At that time, [the two disciples who had returned from Emmaus] narrated [to the Eleven and those who were with them] what had happened along the way and how they had recognized [Jesus] in the breaking of the bread.
While they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said: “Peace be with you!”. Shocked and full of fear, they thought they were seeing a ghost. But he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your heart? Look at my hands and feet: it’s really me! Touch me and look; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you can see that I have.” Saying this, he showed them his hands and feet. But since they still did not believe for joy and were filled with amazement, he said: “Do you have anything to eat here?”. They offered him a portion of roasted fish; he took it and ate it in front of them.
Then he said: “These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still with you: all things written about me in the law of Moses, in the Prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures and said to them: «Thus it is written: Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and in his name conversion and forgiveness of sins will be preached to all peoples, starting from Jerusalem. . You are witnesses of this.”
