Breakfast on the Lake Shore 11

Like the Apostles, we all need reassurances and reminders.

Ordinary events in life  can weigh on us and wear us down over time. That is why Jesus often reveals himself to us through the ordinary. At work, at breakfast, through ordinary people — He is there to life us up, though sometimes we do not recognize him at first.

So it was with Jesus’ apostles. More…

Peter runs to the tomb only to find it as the women said, and he is amazed. But the amazing thing about this Resurrection Sunday’s Gospel reading is that Jesus himself does not appear to anyone. Did you notice? More…
