Gospel's Commentary
Today we are still celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Now we see that He appears before the Apostles, who were still afraid and hiding in a house. The Lord addresses them by wishing them peace. He asks them to believe in Him: -Look, this is my flesh and bones, I am not a ghost! He even eats in front of them. Then, He says a few words to instruct and give them courage. - Fear? Why? God lives, God sees us, God speaks to us, God is with us... Talk to Him!
