Peace be with you.

Today's Gospel is a familiar one about one of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus to the apostles.  Though he was truly human and truly divine, he seems to act truly divine and less human when he wishes peace on those who have just rejected, deserted and thereby, hurt him.  I know that I would choose the human rather than the divine response.  Please help me rise above the hurts of daily life, Lord and seek to live on the spiritual higher ground of the Resurrection.  Please help me to really bring and wish peace on all, especially, those to whom I most want to withhold any love or peace.  Jesus, my Resurrection and Life, grant that I may RISE with you!

Let us pray for each other that we may live the Resurrection Way of bringing peace and love to all.
