Luke 24:36-39 NRSVue

36While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 37They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.”


Further reflection

The big word of Easter is ‘peace’. It is the greeting of Jesus, -– like the signature tune of a radio show. We know with the greeting of peace that Jesus is near. Allow that word flow through the silence and the words of your prayer this day.
