Episode Synopsis

When Jesus appears to His terrified disciples, He does not offer theological explanations. Instead, He invites physical touch and asks for something to eat. This scandalous physicality challenges our spiritualized faith and changes everything about how we live as Easter people.Today’s Scripture reflections:First Reading (Acts 3:11-26): Peter proclaims the fulfillment of God's promises and calls the people to repentance and new life.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 8:2ab and 5, 6-7, 8-9): O Lord, how majestic is Your name through all the earth; You have crowned humanity with glory and honor.Gospel (Luke 24:35-48): Jesus reveals His risen body, invites the disciples to touch Him, and eats broiled fish to prove the reality of the resurrection.Through these readings, we are invited to rediscover the revolutionary truth of the resurrection: that God embraces the physical world, redeems it, and calls us to live our faith in every aspect of embodied life.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
