Easter 3 C - Homily and Stories
Introduction to the Celebration
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.

I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

Easter 2 C Sunday - Homilies and Stories
Background:
Often
this Gospel is used as an occasion to prove the Church’s control of the
forgiveness of sins and even to demand more frequent confession.
The
Church, in this perspective, has a monopoly on forgiveness and must be stern in
its use. Patently this narrowly circumscribes the passionate forgiveness of God
which Jesus came to reveal. God may be generous with forgiveness, it is
implied, but the Church cannot and should not. Yet the story of Thomas,
immediately after suggests that such an interpretation of the words of Jesus
missed the points. To forgive is not a right to be jealously guarded, but an
obligation to be exercised generously. We do not earn our own forgiveness by
forgiving others. Rather we manifest the
generosity and implacability of God’s forgiveness of us.
