Just one day after Easter Sunday and both Christians and Lent seem to be far out on the western horizon waiting for another sunset. Today scripture readings for the Eucharistic Liturgy evoked this thought: "Transparency" is the power word for every situation -- not only our national government but our own Church government are challenged by the people for a need to know. We all want proof for everything that has or will happen. Surely it is a good thing so long as the demand for transparency does not overlook those who have been harmed.
Are not the words from the Acts of the Apostles and the gospels "proof" that Jesus did die for us but that he also rose from among the dead. Let the ACTS be a "book" your read in the next week. See the history of the Church after Jesus was crucified and appeared to his friends after his resurrection.
You can have the experience of meeting the risen Christ in those very accounts of the Bible. Challenge hyourself to set 15 minutes each tay to red the second composition by the evangelist, St. Luke.
