Welcome to St. Joseph Catholic Church!

4122 S. Bonham St.

Amarillo, TX 79110

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. You are witnesses of

these things." - Lk 24:44, 48

3rd Sunday of Easter

"He stood in their midst and said to them,

'Peace be with you.' But they were startled

and terrified." What was so terrifying

about being wished peace? How ironic that

the disciples were so scared right at the

moment that Jesus was offering them

peace. The fact is that they didn't

understand what was going on. They were

already aware at this point that Jesus had

risen from the dead, and two of them had

just had a powerful encounter with him on

the road to Emmaus. But now, he suddenly

appeared before them, in a manner that

was not only totally unexpected, but also

apparently physically impossible. This is why they thought they

were seeing a ghost. It just didn't make sense. Jesus reassured

them with concrete actions. He told them to look at him and to

touch him. He wanted his disciples to be comforted by his real

physical presence among them. He wanted them to come into

contact with his entire being, not just the abstract idea of his

presence. Once they did this, they were "incredulous for joy and

were amazed." The peace that he wished for them was now

complemented by great joy. It just took a while to sink in. This

may be the case for us at times too. We may not understand the

mysterious ways in which Jesus is present in our lives.

Sometimes he is hidden in what Mother Teresa called "the

distressing disguise." His Spirit may be present, wishing to bring

us peace right in the midst of stress, sickness, anguish, or pain,

but we may not recognize him at first. But just because he may

not "show up" in the way we expect doesn't mean he isn't with

us. The risen Christ also wants to give us the gift of peace.
