3rd Sunday of Easter
Jesus appeared to the disciples after His death to offer them peace and Jesus continues to offer us peace.
We are sent to carry on His mission of proclaiming the good news,
reaching out to the poor,
being healers in a fractured world and modeling His forgiveness that brings peace.

Joke
An Amish boy and his father were visiting a mall.
They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially two shiny, silver walls in the hotel lobby that could move apart and back together again.
The boy asked his father, “What is this father?”
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, “Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don’t know what it is.”
While the boy and his father were watching wide eyed, an older lady, limping slightly with a cane, slowly walks up to the moving walls and pressed a button.
The walls opened and the lady walks between them and into a small room.
The walls closed and the boy and his father watched small circles of light with numbers above the wall light up.
They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened again and a beautiful 24-year-old woman stepped out.

The father said to his son, “Go get your mother!”
