3rd Sunday after Easter 2015
Today’s Epistle tells us of the importance of good example. Many more conversions are made by good example than by preaching. The “little while” during which the disciples would not see Christ described His passion, death, and descent into limbo. The disciples were so attached to Our Lord that it was like death for them to be separated from Him. After this “little while” in the tomb Christ predicted that He would rise again and would be seen by His followers once more. Faith is a supernatural power that permits us to ascent with the mind and embrace with the will everything God has revealed, simply because He says so. The fact of the Resurrection gives assurance to our faith and fills us with lasting joy.
