Gospel of John 20.19 to 31.
the evening of that day, the first of the week, closed the doors being shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said: " Peace be with you! . " While saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said again: " Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I send you." By telling this, he breathed on them and said: "Receive the Holy Spirit. The sins will be forgiven to you retain the sins, and will be retained to you they are retained."
Thomas, one of the Twelve, nicknamed the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples said: "We have seen the Lord." He replied: "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, if not put my finger where the nails and hand in his side, I will not believe. "
Eight days later, the disciples were again gathered in the house, and Thomas was with them. Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood among them and said, " Peace be with you! . "Then he said to Thomas," Put your finger here, here are my hands. Reach out your hand: Put it in my side. Henceforth not be unbelieving, but believe. "Tomas said," My Lord and my God. "Jesus said," Now you think, because I've seen. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me! ".
Jesus performed well many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not reported in this paper. These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and believing, have life in his name. _________________________________________________________________________
On this Second Sunday of Easter, we are presented with the Risen Lord on entering the closed doors with which the disciples wanted to feel safe. But Jesus comes again above our own narrow-mindedness of heart, and our security. The Lord enters into our lives and in our church community to give us the good news of Easter to Life, the Resurrection, invites us to peace. The resurrection of Jesus brings us peace, and that is why the Lord three times greets saying "peace to you," the peace that comes from Jesus is based on justice and the dignity of all human beings, peace that comes from living the gospel he preached in his earthly life. Thomas
costing convinced that Jesus is risen and he does not believe his brothers. How often we too can not believe that Jesus is alive!. Or it costs us recognize this in the midst of his people, the product of so many inconsistencies and sins. Maybe we like to have that experience close to Thomas ... but happy we who believe without seeing.
that peace between our Church and cool and can make the Spirit of the Risen carrier so that it is the messenger of God's forgiveness to all mankind. That the Church can continue its task of evangelization around the world radiating the peace of God to all corners of the earth that we desperately need in all latitudes.
Jesus is placed in the midst of his disciples to fill them with joy, peace and send them to evangelize, which also can be placed in our midst and to give the missionary impulse to our church, to acknowledge the Lord in our countries many crucified and touch the wounds and sufferings of the poor can cry as Thomas: "My Lord and my God."
