Easter Friday

The fruitfulness of the Resurrection

John 21:1-14

The Easter experience has produced 5,000 converts.  It also caused Peter to gain wisdom and with the gift of the Holy Spirit, proclaim the Good News of salvation.  Also, the Easter experience enabled the disciples to have a continuing direct encounter with Jesus even after his death.

What can Easter make of us?

Our adherence to the Eucharist enables us to have a direct experience of the Resurrection of Jesus that no other religious activity can supply.  This is the sacrament of Jesus' direct presence in the world as he commanded, "Do this in memory of me."

Second, the power of the Eucharist enables us to proclaim a message of hope for the hopeless and a conversion experience that will have an eternal effect in all people, including us.

Finally, the Resurrection of Jesus can enable us to experience Him even after 2,000 years.  Jesus is here and now; we just need to continue opening our eyes to His presence in our brothers and sisters and in the world we are moving.

The result of all these is a transformed self, a direct presence of Jesus through us and others, even the poor.  Jesus is everywhere.
