Women reported the empty tomb. Peter and John verified it, and the appearances confirm that indeed Jesus had Risen. Peter\u2019s Pentecost speech in Acts shows how deeply those appearances together with the Spirit\u2019s tongues of fire had emboldened the faith of our infant Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter, with the Apostles fearlessly proclaimed to the unbelieving crowd, \u201cJesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs.\u201d Besides these awesome signs, Peter bluntly accused them of fulfilling their own scriptures, \u201cYou killed [this Jesus}, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death.\u201d We praise God and we believe,\u201c God did raise Jesus;
of this we are all witnesses. \u201cExalted at the right hand of God, he received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father and poured him forth, as you see and hear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second reading Peter speaks tenderly to his beloved believers and to us, ransomed from things past by the blood of Jesus, the new Paschal Lamb. He urges, through the living Christ raised by God in glory, bend and believe in God. Place your faith and hope in Him. Say, Father, we bless and thank You. Jesus, beloved Son, we trust in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Sunday we met we met Thomas struggling to believe. Likewise, In the opening stanza of today\u2019s Psalm we meet this saying: \u201cI say to the LORD, “My Lord are you!\u201d Now the downhearted pair of today\u2019s Gospel struggle, and so do we. The two on their way to Emaus have heard all about the Risen Christ firsthand: the women, the empty tomb, the angels, how Peter and John verified the women. Hearing it, also we might verify, \u201cThat\u2019s just what we heard from the Easter scriptures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus stepped in to settle the pair\u2019s doubts. So the Church steps in to settle any of ours. Jesus faced the dismayed pair. So the Church calls out to us saying \u201cIt\u2019s all in the Easter scriptures.\u201d Then hear Jesus invite Himself, \u201cAllow me to dine with you.\u201d Gaze at the priest and see Jesus take bread, bless the bread, raise it, break it , give it to you. Faith is God\u2019s gift to you. Find it in His Body and Blood!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE. HEAR. BELIEVE. Eternal Life Awaits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partiendo el Pan<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Las mujeres les informaron de la tumba vac\u00eda. Pedro y Juan lo verificaron, y las apariciones confirman que efectivamente Jes\u00fas hab\u00eda resucitado.  El discurso de Pentecost\u00e9s de Pedro en Hechos muestra hasta qu\u00e9 punto esas apariciones junto con las lenguas de fuego del Esp\u00edritu hab\u00edan envalentonado la fe de nuestra Iglesia naciente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro, con los Ap\u00f3stoles proclamando sin miedo a la multitud incr\u00e9dula: \u00abJes\u00fas el Nazareno fue un hombre encomendado por Dios con grandes obras, maravillas y signos.\u00bb Adem\u00e1s de estas asombrosas se\u00f1ales, Pedro les acus\u00f3 sin rodeos de cumplir sus propias escrituras: \u00abMataste [a este Jes\u00fas}, usando a hombres sin ley para crucificarle. Pero Dios lo levant\u00f3, liber\u00e1ndolo de los estertores de la muerte. Alabamos a Dios y creemos que Dios resucit\u00f3 a Jes\u00fas;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De esto todos somos testigos. Exaltado a la derecha de Dios, recibi\u00f3 la promesa del Esp\u00edritu Santo del Padre y lo derram\u00f3, como ven y escuchan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En la segunda lectura, Pedro habla con ternura a sus amados creyentes y a nosotros, rescatados de cosas pasadas por la sangre de Jes\u00fas, el nuevo Cordero Pascual. \u00c9l insta, a trav\u00e9s del Cristo vivo resucitado por Dios en gloria, a que se doblegue y crea en Dios. \u201cPon tu fe y esperanza en \u00c9l. Dime, padre, te bendecimos y te damos las gracias. Jes\u00fas, amado Hijo, confiamos en ti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El domingo pasado vimos, conocimos a Thomas que luchaba por creerlo. Del mismo modo, en la estrofa inicial del Salmo de hoy nos encontramos con este dicho: “Digo al SE\u00d1OR: “\u00a1Eres t\u00fa mi Se\u00f1or!” Ahora la pareja desanimada del Evangelio de hoy lucha, y nosotros tambi\u00e9n. Los dos, en camino a Ema\u00fas, han o\u00eddo todo sobre el Cristo Resucitado de primera mano: las mujeres, la tumba vac\u00eda, los \u00e1ngeles, c\u00f3mo Pedro y Juan verificaron a las mujeres. Al escucharlo, tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edamos verificar: “Eso es solo lo que escuchamos de las escrituras de Pascua.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jes\u00fas intervino para disipar las dudas de la pareja. As\u00ed que la Iglesia interviene para resolver cualquiera de los nuestros. Jes\u00fas se enfrent\u00f3 a la pareja desconsolada. As\u00ed que la Iglesia nos llama diciendo: “Todo est\u00e1 en las escrituras pascuales.” Entonces escucha a Jes\u00fas invitarse a s\u00ed mismo, “Perm\u00edteme cenar contigo.” Mira al sacerdote y mira a Jes\u00fas tomar pan, bendecir el pan, levantarlo, partirlo, d\u00e1rtelo. La fe es \u2122un regalo de Dios para ti. \u00a1Encu\u00e9ntralo en su cuerpo y en su sangre! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
