We have gathered to celebrate the presence of the risen Lord
among us. We are called to be the people who bear witness to his victory over
death. We are the people who proclaim the Father’s forgiveness to the ends of
the earth by being people who are for giving.
Michel de Verteuil
Text comments
During Easter the Sunday and weekday gospel readings are
taken from St John’s gospel; this is the time of year when the Church invites
us to meditate on this gospel. St John is always very deep; traditionally his
is known as “the spiritual gospel”; these weeks should therefore be a time for
us to deepen our meditations.
