DO NOT BE AFRAID
Did you notice? Today is called the “Second Sunday
of Easter,” not the “First Sunday after Easter.” Our
celebration of Easter is not over. These Sundays of
Easter continue to present the mystery of Jesus Christ’s
victory.
The readings begin with the “signs and wonders”
abounding in those earliest days. Sick people lay in the
street, hoping that at least Peter’s “shadow might fall on
one or another of them.” Then, in a powerful passage
from the book of Revelation, the visionary falls down “as
though dead” upon seeing the victorious Christ. But
Christ extends a gentle touch: “Do not be afraid . . . once
I was dead, but now I am alive forever.”
In the Gospel, that same Christ appears and breathes
on the disciples, and gently leads Thomas to believe.
This Christ—more powerful than any evil force,
victorious over death itself—touches us and whispers,
“Do not be afraid.”
